[Kolano]

This is the bug collection thread for the Apache WM6 Kitchen CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0) 071108_1. I'll gather bugs into this first message, so folks don't need to poke all over to find them. Please note that this thread is for bugs occurring in the ROMs produced via the kitchen, the file contents of it's OEM packages, or problems with their configuration or interaction. Bugs related to BuildOS,the tool used to compile/flash the ROM images, should be posted to it's bug thread.

Unconfirmed Bugs

• Missing MMS-Video?

  If you just select O2 you don't get anything.

Non-Kitchen Bugs

• Weatherpanel is known to cause lock-ups

• MobiTV

  Quite a shame too. I really like that SIP, but I REALLY like MobiTV2 better.
  ... better that SprintTV due to the frame rate... Anyway... back on topic:
  I tried many different builds of the ROM, from stripped down, to fairly loaded. Same result. If HTC Touch Keypad was included... No MobiTV2.]

• GPS Navigation

  I have a bug with iguidance 3.0.1. When you setup a route and it starts navigating you, if you touch the screen to go to menu for example it exits the program. This does not occur with 3.5 1.0.4 kitchen.
  
  I have the same issue with TomTom6 with build 071107_02 and build 071108_1.

Confirmed Bugs

• TouchKeyboard SIP disables messaging auto-completion

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
    "Ime File"="\\windows\\eT9Ime.dll"

  In order for auto completion/correction to work, you have to use the comp ime, not the et9 ime.
  
  For completion to work, it should read:
  

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
  "Ime File"="compime.dll"
  "Layout Text"="COMP IME"

  I'm assuming this would break the touch keyboard's features, but feel free to test it.

• Vogue Dialer OEM Causes Dialer to Popup on Application Close
  

  I have the HTC Vogue dialer and a fairly basic ROM installed from the kitchen. As I was setting up everything it seems the screen kept returning to the dialer view (sometimes the keypad and other times the in call screen).

• Simple PIN Locks Up Phone?
  

  Originally Posted by Lazybones

  Edit:
  
  More detailed Steps to reproduce:
  1. Go to settings and lock
  2. Select Simple PIN as your password type and set a password of at least 5 digits
  3. Soft reset your phone
  4. Wait for the device to fully load (IE the tool bar theme has loaded and the phone has found a signal)
  5. Now try to unlock the phone with your pin.

  Originally Posted by luv2chill

  ...yes I was able to confirm your report by doing a soft reset with password enabled (had similar lockup problems whether it was simple pin or regular password). I could never reproduce that behavior just with a simple inactivity timeout, but I know you said that was random. But it definitely occurred after every soft reset.
  
  I flashed back to every iteration of helmi's wm6 ROM I had and they all suffered that issue. Seems to be some sort of timeout issue... like the device is waiting for "something" once you click unlock, and when it doesn't happen in x amount of time the device gives up and proceeds anyway. That's what it "seems" like anyway--I could be way off base.
  
  I had helmi confirm that it does not occur on the Universal (which is the closest device hardware-wise to the Apache). So it's either a driver issue or something in the registry that's causing it. Hopeully we'll get to the bottom of it soon.

• PC to Phone IR communication problem

• SD-Card Transfer Speed
  

  Originally Posted by luv2chill

  This is caused by you selecting the SDHC driver when you built your ROM. As it turns out some registry entries need to be adjusted to slow the transfer rate down to prevent the skipping. Verizonguy has figured out the necessary entries and posted them in the Bugs thread before this one (071107_2). If you're comfortable editing the registry you can do that yourself. If not, those changes will be in the next build of the kitchen.
  
  Or, if you don't have a SDHC card, then build instead with the SD-only drivers and this problem won't occur.

• Battery Meter Issue

• Battery Drains More Quickly

  I built Helmi's Kitchen with the same programs that I used in VerizonGuy's Kitchen. The only exception is the above-mentioned HTC Task Manager, where I used version 2.0.xxxx for Helmi's Kitchen.
  
  I rebooted my XV6700 with nothing else running. After 8 hours of inactivity on VerizonGuy's Kitchen, I still saw a battery level of 100%. With Helmi's Kitchen, I see my battery level at 70% after 8 hours of inactivity.

• Ability to install Office application separately

  Extract all folders to user_oem in your kitchen, start buildOS and you should now have Office Word, Office Excel, and Office Powerpoint seperately in the "Document Viewers" section. To fully test these OEM's, uncheck the original "Office Mobile" and choose one or all three of the new items.
  Example: Choosing "Office Word" will only install word, word templates, and all it requires to run. (1.6mb vs the entire 5.7mb)
  
  Please do test this, all of you who would like to see it in future kitchens.

k, thanks. I don't see the menu, but that may be due to my 1.43 radio.

Thanks for all your hard work!!!!
I use the new kitchen, and use the default selections. After refreshed, I put my phone near computer, the computer can find the device, but when i want to transfer a file by IR beam, it appears error!! It seems IR beam OBEX not works. Transferring files beteen the two phones is OK!
WM5 rom from Helmi Official AKU 3.5 Kitchen and WM6 rom from Helmi and Verizonguy old Kitchen all work fine!! Is it a bug or I am missing something!? Thanks!!

[gguruusa]

It's probably a bug. We're looking into it.

[Wizzard]

I have cooked a rom about 10 times trying to get O2 to work. When you check the various parts of O2 you get only them. You do not get the O2 shortcuts or the ability to use O2 as a task manager to shut down programs.

If you just select O2 you don't get anything.

I have tried several other OEMs and cabs via the OEMISER but, nothing has worked.

I also do not see the ability to unlock the extended ROM.

Would someone help please? I had VGs new kitchen working very well with O2 but Helmi's doesn't seem to like it.

Thanks

Thanks

Look in the carrier ext rom section.

[delosky]

Great job as always guys - the best one yet by far!

One problem I've run into is the ability to register Resco File Explorer 2007. I used the OEM from Jonahan and I have a valid registration that has worked before. I've checked my Name settings in the Owner Information tab and I've re-entered it several times. I also requested a registration key from Resco from the PDA and the registration key I've put in is what they sent me.

Has anyone else run into this issue or know how to resolve it?

[f1cy]

Thanks man, i want to upgrade back my phone.
