some news and replies

Hi all,
I'm back to cooking, as I got another blackstone, as my original one got a broken digitalizer.
I'm testing a new version, which I'll release as soon as possible.
Some answers:

Hi YPSMAV, I tried Premium rom several times but it's to heavy for my teaste and battery is much better in your Swift rom. So I managed to force HTC Messaging to work with Swift rom, but after each reset or shut down they dont work, then I try with FdcSoft Task Manager to look what is the problem and I realise when I ckeck SERVICES
the Message Service(MSG0) is stoped after each reset and I must start it manually every time. Do you now what I got to do to make service to autostart just like other services (some registry edit perhaps), because in the Task Manager setting up service to manual or automatic start doesn't solve it.
Many thanks!
Marko
Hi, try the following registry changes:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\MSG]
"MaxPhoneLength"=dword:00000014
"Prefix"="MSG"
"FriendlyName"="Message Service"
"Order"=dword:00000009
"Index"=dword:00000000
"Keep"=dword:00000001
"Dll"="MessagingService.dll"

I'm using SWIFT 3.6 last over 3 weeks but recently, the phone freezes many times, especially after incoming calls. I need to reset the phone using stylus.
This sounds strange. It may be related to the rotation of the phone canvas.
Try disabling the autorotation of 'Phone' using the Gsensor config or editing the white list on the reg.

I really enjoy your EDGE roms. It feels like they have been made especially for me! It has everything I need presented in a way I like it. But I would like to give you one tip: It would be nice to choose from different lock-screens / make it possible to switch back to the old one. I liked the old one better and I can't seem to find a way to get it back, but it is just a matter of taste ;) Yarach
Hi, working on that.

The Arabic language problem is solved, Thanks, but GPS no working, (Igo, Google map, gps test...) all of them not working
what to do? I have a trip next week and i need it so much. thanks
That sounds strange. have you modified any setting related to the GPS? what radio are you using?

Hi YPSMAV it's me again with the weather :) To add to previous posts I see there is big performance hit not only with "mostly cloudy" or "mostly cloudy with showers", but with "Mostly cloudy with flurries", "Flurries with rain", "Snow". I'm yet to see is ther a problem with "Cold weather". I note that this is happening when I swipe up and down to reveal quicklinks and that animation on the homscreen is very very slow and jaggy (this is with full screen weather animation off, and with installed theme) and then whole sense becams slower, and this is the problem in both roms. Because your from Hungary I'm sure you experiencing the same problems, the winther is here :)
Is there a cure for that animations or how abouth use whole rodium tab as you say before, can that be a solution?
I don't face huge lag on the latest version.
have you changed/tweaked 'cache' sizes?

have you changed/tweaked 'cache' sizes?

The Settings is already like that except I have one more line
"Flags"=dword:00000000

As for "Cache sizes", Yes one time changed in HD Tweaks File System Cache From Normal to Large, but I turn it back. And now File System Filter Cache is set to Normal (Advised) but I think that it was disabled (cant remember), GDI font Cache is set to Large. Is that a problem. If so what is the best setting (or I shouldn't touch anything). Do you expirience any slow down on that particular weather situations that I mentioned (I must add Freezing rain), because even when I return everything to default its realy much slover then Sunny,Mostly sunny,Cloudy and Fog, they work the fastest.
your rom is by far fastest one, its only cripled with weather changes, then it becomes veary slow (or maybie its my phone :)) If you can make that speed of rom doesnt depend of weather I think that we have to call HTC and make yor rom official update :D

#1 GREAT JOB:) i think Your Premium ROM is much better than Energy (I had used Energy since always:)

#2 I have some suggestions:

- when I recieve sms on my Blackstone in turn off mode, Blackstone wake up and until I read message it won't go to turn off mode again. It is problem becuase battery drain so fast. I found solution in HD Setting Tool - disable SMS Wake Up Event, but I think it will be better to make fix in ROM,

- second suggestion is enable led notification in all events (new sms and missed call) I found solution with cab form #10 post from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452042

Best regards and thank you for your work:)

There is some "problem" with gwes.exe: very often it reaches over 50MB RAM usage and free RAM is dramatically going low (30MB or less). Previously I used Blackstonhenge ROM and there gwes.exe used max. 30-35MB with this same customization (CHT and some widgets, restored CHT settings). In that ROM free RAM was stable at 50-60MB.

The problem is not in the rom. It is because of an error on the SD card. Try fixing the SD card (search for errors) or simply re-format. That fxed the problem for me.

I tried to search for error and reformat it, but i still can't boot the Haret.exe
After that i flashed Energy rom, and i can boot the Haret.exe
Is there anyone have same problem ???

Another "problem" - HTC Calendar (tab) doesn't show appointments even if they are created from tab. WM calendar app shows everything correctly.

hello, this is very beatiful rom but i've some little problem.
i'm able to see the sms in standard mode (conversation mode is very slow) but the side bar is too much small to take it and scroll.
also a big problem is that i can't create custom folder in the sms application so all the sms go in sms inbox or sent.
have someone a fix for this problem?

thanks2all!

edit:
solved with - Disable HTC messaging: try this cab (2nd post of this thread i returned at old ms sms)

    For best results suggest follow the flashing instructions included on the compressed file.

    - Use Task29 first (this will format your internal memory) take battery out and go into bootloader again.
    - Use task 28 to flash the rom.
    - Hard reset is recommended just after first boot (remove battery, place it again and press vol up + vol down + power).
