WM6 English 5.2.1616.18120 Standard v3.7 (FINAL!) 01/11/08

Hello all,

VERSION 1 was my first ENGLISH ROM cook and it seemed to be pretty stable, based on Nitrogenious v5 Greek edition (Nitrogenious--THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK!!).

****NOTE**** BEFORE FLASHING ANY OF THE BELOW VERSIONS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PERFORM A "format BINFS" TO ELIMINATE ANY PRE-EXISTING ROM FILES AND AVOID ANY UNUSUAL BEHAVIOR/CONFLICTS (FOR FURTHER RATIONALE GO TO PAGE 53 AND POST #529 here), FOLLOW KARHOE'S GREAT GUIDE:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1453008#post1453008

may i ask what do u mean by no GSM?

can i still make calls from my dopod 577w?

ericjm · Nov 9, 2007

congrats on your ROM mate!

glad to see all these hardwork.

vjgrace · Nov 9, 2007

Thanks ericjm!!

@admin22,
No GSM means no radio, you are just able to pick the radio you want. This is just the OS. If you already have radio on your system, you should still be able to make calls if you were able to before. If you want the latest radio version just search for the radio version 4.1.13.28_02.61.01 and you will find one. I will try to upload one to Rapidshare for you.

Here is Rapidshare link for this radio:

Thanks

NiTroGenious · Nov 9, 2007

WOW!!! Nice work, vjgrace. You really did it! Almost 20MB free internal storage; a new record!!!

Welcome to the ROM cooking game, pal!

Btw, "Phonebook Speed Dial key mappings changed to match t9" refers to the Greek character key mapping (in original Greek ROM the character key mapping in Speed Dial was different than the one in SMS editing!!!), so you don't need to describe it as a feature.

Because of that "feature", there is no Cyrillic character support in Speed Dial, unless you install the package I provide here.

@admin(!!!)22:
You can also upgrade the GSM together with the bootloader, using the SPL link in my signature.

Exitao · Nov 10, 2007

So what's your review on this, Nitro?

Will I like it better than EA's chinese/english?

NiTroGenious · Nov 10, 2007

As I have already said, there is no good, better or best ROM. There is only the one that satisfies you and your needs. EA's has many new settings, but lacks of application quantity. This one has many useful applications and more free space. It's your call...

My english ROM was just a very rush release to satisfy all you non-greek Tornado owners. EA's ROM was a great update. But this ROM is just what I really wanted to release!

Keep up the good work, vjgrace! If you need any help/advice for future releases, don't hesitate to ask.

EDIT: I've just noticed that the available memory/storage values are written vice versa.

vjgrace · Nov 10, 2007

Created final version

Hello all,

Refer to post #1, I have v2 still listed in post #1 if you still want it, but I have finished a final version, which is listed in post #1. I have deleted the link and text to the version in this post to decrease confusion, thanks!!!

NiTroGenious · Nov 10, 2007

Well, OK, but... What's the point of loosing all these apps and games for a 0.01kb gain? I don't think you should release a new version, unless you replace all those kBytes with something more usefull.

I quite liked your ROM. EA's worked better for me (after tweaking the audiogain), probably because of the fewer applications.

I'm not entirely sure which of your included apps was causing me the trouble, but if I could have resolved that, I'd likely not have bothered trying yet another.

I guess that for me, less is more.

vjgrace · Nov 10, 2007

@Nitrogenious,
Thanks for your comments, you are correct...definitely not much gain on the storage side of it, but a little on the memory side (0.34mb) not much though. I really just wanted to give the option of more control/options for the base with the ability to still use the apps on the storage card.

@Exitao,
I too am under the train of thought that less is more...that is without effecting storage amount.
If you have the audiogain tweak maybe I could implement in the registry...Just let me know.

Thanks again for your comments, they are appreciated!!

Since you have not removed any applications from the StartUp directory, you have no memory gain or loss. What you should always consider an error of +-1MB maximum. Why? Because of the cache. If you browse more the Start Menu before checking the available memory you'll see less of it. If you open the Home Screen settings before the System Setting, free memory is again reduced. So, an error of +-1MB should always be considered!

And also do not forget the ...Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle for Windows Mobile; the memory report utility consumes an amount of memory.

In other words, you have no gain in available memory by removing a non-startup application, even it seems so.

I don't know why but the speaker phone was really quiet. I tried some tweaks I found in the forums, but apparently audiogain tweaks don't always work well across different smartphones.

The one I settled on came from this post:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1374443&postcount=108

However, in my mucking about I may have altered others before using the ones he mentions above. So below are my current settings (excluding the handsfree/car stuff I've never used, let alone tweaked):

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\audiogain1]
"CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
      A0
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
      10
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:\
      79
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
      10
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:\
      32

Maybe you could tell me what your settings are so I can see what I've changed...?

vjgrace · Nov 11, 2007

Hello Exitao,

Thanks for the PM regarding that link to this ROM, boy that is frustrating, I just sent you a PM. Thanks again.

Well, here is the registry for this ROM...I haven't noticed a decrease in speakerphone volume but I will definitely listen to see if my phone is affected. If so, I will implement your provided tweak in an updated version to make sure this ROM has the optimal tweaks.

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN]
"DeviceID"="Generic_20050926"
"AUDIO_DEBUG_FLAG"=dword:0
"EXTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN"=hex:06
"INTERNAL_RECORDING_GAIN"=hex:17
"CODEC_GAIN_CARKIT"=hex:00
"CODEC_GAIN_HEADSET"=hex:05
"CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:00
"EAC_GAIN_CARKIT"=hex:67
"EAC_GAIN_HEADSET"=hex:67
"EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED"=hex:70
"EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:19
"HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:14
"SPEAKER_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:10
"RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME"=hex:19

"CARGCARKITSIDETONEVOLUME"=hex:08,08,08,08,08,08
"CARGRECEIVESIDETONEVOLUME"=hex:02,06,0C,0C,0D,0D
"CARGHANDFREEVOLUME"=hex:61,64,21,24,27,2A

"CARGCARKITVOLUME"=hex:61,64,21,24,27,2A
"CARGRECEIVEVOLUME"=hex:60,63,20,23,26,29

@Nitrogenious, THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS...GREAT INFORMATION!!!

Thanks again,
vjgrace

P.S. to Exitao...This block of code I just provided proves that the individual who is taking credit for this ROM build on that link is a fraud because the only way to get this specific block of code (from this build and this version) is to dump the rom and build the rgu files. What a shame.

illi · Nov 11, 2007

I quite like EA's ROM because of the extra UI setting tweaks. Does this have such UI tweaks?

Thanks

vjgrace · Nov 11, 2007

Hello illi,

Thanks for the inquiry...I was actually about to ask Nitrogenious how to manipulate the registry to add those tweaks. Thanks to Nitrogenious this does have some extra settings tweaks (display timeout adjustment, IE tweaks, Voice tag location tweaks, and more), I am not sure how many more EA's version has (I haven't dumped and located), but hopefully I will be able to find out those values and implement them in this version.

Thanks again for the questions.

Hi vjgrace,
Thanks for the quick reply. I hope your next release will compliment at least EA's if not more on the UI tweaks. I especially am interested to have the IE and Inbox folders in Storage Card; (its a pain to manually tweak the registry every time I flash different ROM). I have also tweaked the \Volatile folder to point to Storage Card. It saves as well and at least maintain the speed/responses when running applications.

Thank you.

vjgrace · Nov 11, 2007

Hello illi,

Looks like we are online at the same time, that's pretty wild

(I usually don't answer questions quickly). Anyway, I asked Nitrogenious about the tweak values and hoping to get a response. Once I know where to look to manipulate those values I can dump EA's ROM, find his values and hopefully implement them in this version. Always easier to manipulate registry in Settings rather than registry edit, if you know what I mean.

Thanks again

Thanks for great rom, vjgrace

I have one question: how can I bind Long_VolDown shortcut with MultiFlashLight? I've created a shortcut and it works, but MFL starts at the same time, as Cyberion VoiceCommand...
