-Try to persuade someone to build a Verizon ext.rom OEM so vz peeps can get rid of their ext.rom (I am still extremely upset that nobody has stepped forward to create a verizonOEM package. I have had 3 very promising leads, and all of them have apparently moved on to other projects.)
-find a way to fully integrate MMS as an oem without the need for a cab to make registry entries and build the outlook-mms inbox (researching)(i give up on this on my own, im sorry ><)
-resolve any major issues immediately
-sleep for a month






>>>>======--------KNOWN ISSUES--------======<<<<



-Phone will not vibrate once you install this ROM....

actually just a registry edit that re-enables the LED's fixes the vibrate function


Quote:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DRIVERS\BUILTIN\ALLLEDMGR]
"Index"=dword:0
Should change that to a ONE .... 1


-People sometimes find that the MMS does not work
you most likely forgot to run the vz or sp MMS-Registry.CAB file included with the download the vz is for VERIZON and the sp is for SPRINT

-Once you change off of the default theme, you cant get back to it
go to your themes and choose "Windows Default", the task bars will be bright blue

Open UI Tweaker and select "WM5 Color Change", then select "Softkey Background" and Taskbar Background" from the drop down menu and set each one to R=0, G=113, B=132 you will now have them back to the original theme colors


-DigDug no longer pumps!
The free version button mapping is not the same

Go into Game Settings, click on the tab at the bottom that reads "Button Mapping" -> Click on the one that says "Action" and looks like a black circle...change it from "Player 1 Start" to PUMP. -> Change rocket button that says "Menu" to "Player 1 Start". Now hit OK in the top right, and Play! pump now works the way its supposed to!

-My Extended Rom still installs the sprint stuff...
You have never *properly* unlocked your ext.rom Follow the instructions 3 posts up from the bottom on page 7... linked here. (has a file attachment, not hard to find)

http://www.ppcgeeks.com/bigjs-revisi...start,180.html

-My contacts are gone! HELP! the screen just flashes when i click contacts
(n00b)

The PIM.VOL file is formatted differently on AKU 3.x you will NEED to sync your phone with activesync prior to updating your handset from an AKU 2.x ROM.
>>>If you failed to do so, downgrade to the official ROM, and restore your contacts (pim or whatever) and then SYNC the phone, upgrade, and then sync back in. You can *NOW* use your old backup methods.


-My phone crashes or i run out program memory. Why is there so much memory in use? Why cant i launch other programs?

The file cache is what is taking up all of your program memory. I have most of the settings adjusted for speed and stability, however... older hardware revisions are unable to handle the massive amount of cache'ing that I have setup. You may also just want/need more program memory for application execution. Adjust the values as stated below to lower/disable the file cache entries. Also remember to run "Reclaim RAM" occasionaly to reclaim spent ram that is in "limbo"

- I dont know how to flash my phone with your ROM...
=======================================
~~~~~Flashing for dummies~~~~~
=======================================


the first 3 steps are only needed if your on SPRINT and using my ROM, if your on verizon or using someone else's ROM then skip to step 4

1 - unlock your extended.rom (shortcut under Programs, or find the downloadable files to do so 3 posts up from the bottom on page 7)

2 - delete everything in your extended.rom2 folder

3 - soft reset, and ensure the files are still gone

4 - BACKUP your phone by SYNCHING (no other backup will restore your information properly once you update)

5 - download a ROM

6 - put your phone into bootloader mode by pressing the power button and the record button at the same time and soft reseting

7 - put phone on usb cable on windows XP ONLY!!!

8 - launch the ROMS exe file that will flash your phone

9 - click next and dont do anything while its flashing

10 - HARD RESET the phone when done. (HARD RESET) do not soft... (hold the two soft keys and reset, it will ask if you want to remove all data and hit Y)

11 - run through the initial setup for your phone

12 - reSYNC your information back into the phone

13 - Done!

++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.6++++++++++++++
removed r9.5 and uploaded revision 9.6 Here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


-Resolved Camera shortcut not showing up under programs
-Resolved BT-Audio lagging, now instantaneous and no longer prompts
-Resolved locking issues and application lockups by lowering the cache settings to free up more program memory and increase stability on older devices (a small % may need to fully disable FATFS cache)

-Added newest release of "PIM-Backup" now allowing scheduled backups
-Added Othello Game
-Added Space Invaders
-Added "Treo-like" Speed dial today plugin
-Added Weather application today screen plugin
-Added ext.rom unlock application (shortcut found under programs)
-Added PDF Viewer

-Removed Duckhunt (Pulled the game to lean more towards "retro" and to allow room for some other applications)
-Removed Batti (Found an alternative I like much more)
-Removed even more help files and pointless pictures from ROM Base



NOTES:: from this revision
This release is more or less a release for you guys, since we reached INCREDIBLE stability in the 9.5 release, I decided to gear this release more towards the feedback i was receiving with what to include in the next release as far as applications are concerned. There is the much anticipated weather application integration, the removal of "newer" games such as duckhunt and replaced by retro/classic type games. I fixed a few stupid mistakes from 9.5 like the camera shortcut and the BT-Audio routing being a hassle to use. I threw in the "neat" treolike speeddial today plugin that (believe it or not) has been around since the ppc6600 (wm3), and somehow lost to the pages of time until palm revived it. I dunno, i dont have much to say. This release was by far the most fun that Ive worked on, since I wasnt tackling retarded functionality issues, and the 2 solid weeks ive been running it, ive been extremely happy with its stability, even with all of the added today crap I put on the screen, it seems more "solid" than my previous iterations.

With this release completed, I will be taking a break for the next month or two, I really need to focus on my upcoming finals. Unless there is a showstopper, please dont expect a 9.7 for quite some time. I hope you guys enjoy this release as much as I do, and the larger majority of my co-workers! A few people have asked for my kitchen, PM me and we will discuss details.





++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.5++++++++++++++
removed r9.4 and uploaded revision 9.5 Here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


-Resolved BT PAN issues, Bluetooth should now be working properly with the PAN settings (thanks Sarid!)
-Resolved Missile Command Registry Entry issue

-Added Contact/Schedule/Task/Etc. Backup Application
-Added Chess Game
-Added Task+ today plugin to enhance task functionality/customization
-Added Hitchhiker WiFi Application
-Added Dictionary Editor to allow modification of T9 Prediction & Spellcheck
-Added UI Tweak application to customize your themes to your liking (and get back the bow-mario default colors haha)

-Removed MineSweeper (WM5 doesnt allow you to flag the bombs.... gay)



NOTES:: from this revision
Yet another maintenance release, a little bit of fine-tuning and a few little gems added to this release. The biggest issue I wanted resolved with this release was the BTPAN, since there is a fix, and no ETA on the next kitchen release, I talked to some of the other ROM authors and got what I needed to make an OEM package to get this working properly. I also was emberrased to have the missile command registry not in the ROM.... oops haha. I decided against changing the registry cache'ing & network time. The very few people who still have old models, can manually go in and change those things, there is more than enough information (especially on page 10-11-12) to resolve the issue and it seems to be the minority, not the majority that suffer lockups and punishing everyone did not seem fair. I also did some homework on the network time and found that not only does it NOT trigger activesync, it does NOT connect to EVDO to update. It uses the radio wich is always active anyways. What I found to be triggering the Activesync & EVDO was my exchange sync. When testing 9.5 i just backed up the PIM and never put in activesync settings, and found that it only would trigger ONCE after a soft reset and not again unless i reset the phone again. (or hooked it up to the computer). I have not had ANY success making a bow-mario theme. I have tried 4 FOUR different stupid programs to make themes, and none of them are able to allow me to get the theme to look the original way. soooo instead of a theme, i put in some really cool tools that let you just change the bars back to the original colors. Those tools also allow you to modify any theme color settings, so its defenitely a keeper! I was going to go with SPB backup tool, but the thing is HUGE compared to the one i found. The only drawback is that you cant "schedule" backups, but seriously....sync your stupid phone or copy your PIM.... i am so confused with the obsession of backup utilities. Either way i found a free one, tested it with tasks, contacts, and my calendar and it worked great. So there you go, a little "darkside" in the phone for you backup nutz. The dictionary editor is pretty sweet, i never knew you could mod that stuff until someone posted here asking for it with a hint that it was possible (thanks!). I threw in chess on a recomendation, and hitchhiker as well. Not sure what "added" features hitchhiker adds but there you go. Remember to load your wifi up before you open it though or itll just hang and error once you enable it if the program is open before wifi is turned on. I had to remove the PPC Hax program because it has some defaults that load when you open the program, and it SAVES THE STUPID DEFAULT ENTRIES when you close it and makes the system very unstable. As opposed to it READING the existing entries and displaying them. I was kinda bummed but editing the registry by hand is not to difficult so im over it. Regarding the to-do for safe-mode. My experience booting into safemode was unspectacular... seemed like a waste of time, if you screw up your phone bad enough to be in there in the first place, you prolly need a hard reset....with the backup tools you now have, as well as a really cool pim.vol file, and a computer that will sync your device... i think you guys are good! OH and before i forget, i did try out the TaskManager2.7 that a few people reccomended. It was lackluster, crashed the phone 3x, and seemed very "not - fluid" in its functionality. It defenitely had a slew of options that were neat at best, but nothing to write home about that memmaid doesnt handle effectively.

I think thats about it, not to much but ramblings for these notes. Nothing *REAL* crazy happened when building up for this. I would like to thank Saridnour for his help getting the registry entries for the BTPAN fix, and all of you who have made wonderful suggestions, and stuck with me through all of the major bugs and glitches. I hope r9.6 is a long way off!




++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.4++++++++++++++
removed r9.3 and uploaded revision 9.4 Here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


-Removed Texas Holdem (it needs an update to go online, and its retail, and its huge)
-Removed smallmenu (what a pile of crap, i give up on cascading menus)
-Removed Flash7 (very user dependant anyways & takes up very little room, so not urgent to have integrated into the ROM)

-Added Some Tiny & Fun games: minesweeper, missile command, pacman, mappy, jezzball, whirlwind 21, duck hunt
-Added PencilBox
-Added a menu item under contacts for the rt softkey to sort contacts by first name
-Added WM5newMenu (fantastic program!!!)
-Added Daylight Savings Time Fix
-Added Registry entry that puts back in the ability to clear the VM icon
-Added Today Plugin that lets you see the last call you made/recieved/missed and is fully configurable! (dope)

-Updated Kevtris to revision 2 from the author
-Updated DigDug Game with its freeware equivalent (allows state-save, only hassle is you have to configure the pump button)
-Updated MsPacMan Game with its freeware equivalent (allows state-save, and of course no longer a trial!)



NOTES:: from this revision

This revision is more or less a maintenance release. I was actually testing this build as you see above, but did not want to bother people with another release until the new kitchen was released. The DST issues seem to be huge for people though so of course I decided to step it up and get this out there for you guys. The DST fix is actually just an EXE that runs in the phones startup, if you dont need it, just remove it from the windows/startup folder. It was a blessing to finally be able to take my favorite two games and find freeware versions of them to eliminate the hassle of trialware in the ROM. I removed some things, and I hope their loss is acceptable (smallmenu, flash7, holdem) but I had my reasons. Between now and r9.5 Im going to work on fixing my OEM packages, I want to learn how to UPX my packages to save space and I would really like to start on my documentation project so others can follow in my footsteps. Thank you guys so much for your continued efforts & constructive criticism!






++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.3++++++++++++++
removed r9.2 and uploaded revision 9.3 Here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


-working MMS for Sprint!
-resampled the custom audio in higher quality, resampled the default ring, changed some alarms around, and changed default.wav to suit the theme
-found smallmenu to cascade, i dont like it much, but its there & better than wisbar
-updated coreplayer to 081 w/ additional plugins to support more formats
-added wm6rdp OEM package from FIN (works awesome!)
-added LIVE Search (livesearch is freakin cool, thanks for the suggestion)
-added flashlight program per request (neat, but be careful to not burnout the LED I removed the "always on" option)
-removed IA_Zip program as winrar is superior
-added SoftKey control panel applet (change your left & right softkeys via a gui in the settings!
-Put Galaga in Games to complete namco collection
-got rid of almost all the help files
-updated the GETMMSvideo dll file for the camera to work better with the newer version of ArcSoft MMS


NOTES:: from this revision
MMS really does *NOT* want to be an OEM package, this im sure of. Instead of building a proper OEM, I built one that is missing the .rgu Registry file, and instead offloaded all the registry changes that are made to a CAB file that needs to be installed after you bootup. (will need to soft reset). This is not a compromise I wanted to make, but it works now 100% of the time, it eliminates the conflicts that were arising with the threading SMS application I use, and it correctly builds the outlook-mms inbox. I am hoping now, with a little help, to get a working OEM package that includes and .rgu file but well see... im pretty sick of flashing my phone right now. I estimate that unless there are HUGE issues, r9.4 will be once the new kitchen is posted up. I had two responses of a lockup, one guy found that the caching is what is eating the program memory, and he lowered it and it resolved the problem. I have not had that problem with my device, so if you do, you may want to turn the caching down just a hair. Also if your device is slowing down, run the "ReclaimRAM" program as it really helps clear up unused memory. I want to thank those of you responding here in the thread, and helping me out with issues, and making good suggestions on things we can do to make this a better ROM.








++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.2++++++++++++++
removed r9.1 and uploaded revision 9.2 Here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


-MS Voice Command *FINALLY* fully functional, now routes through BT headsets just fine! (thanks Slypher)
-Added in BTAudio so you can route all audio (music etc.) to your BT Headset
-Added in screenshot application (ScreenCAP)
-Fixed DeviceLock REG setting (thanks Slypher)
-Added "Alarm6.wav" for a big wakeyourassup for the alarmclock program
-MMS *STILL* an issue on SPRINT, (researching)


NOTES:: from this revision

The MS Voicecommand fix.... Slypher pointed me to the registry entry that was screwing the whole thing up. The funny thing is.... that reg entry is CORRECT in the OEM .rgu registry file... what I did not realize, is that the OS entry for cyberon VC is placed *AFTER* the OEM folders are all built to ROM, so the old cyberon entry was being written into the entry where MSVC needed to be. You see since cyberon is built into the original AKU, the OS builds itself to have its registry entries. The file/folder you delete is the file that captures the cberon VC audio and routes it, since MSVC uses a different route, the DLL cant handle the request and fubars. SOOOOOOO....... in your kitchen....(and yes ill upload a new MSVC OEM)... delete the \btagext.dll\ folder from \OEM\Serial_BTUR.dll\ once that is deleted, make a copy of vcbthag.dll from the MSVC directory and name it btagext.dll thats it, now your MSVC dll file named btagext.dll will get written in where the cyberon one was, and will now route audio properly through MSVC!!!! Have fun all you kitchen builders! and enjoy yet another update to this schweeet ROM








++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9.1++++++++++++++
removed r9 and uploaded revision 9.1 Here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


*Hopefully* resolved MMS Picturemail issues (i sent two, they both worked)
Fixed shortcut placement in programs (added wmodem & wisbar)
Fixed dialpad skin to not have graphic covered by talk time when you have a picture ID set to that number
Fixed pegcard.dll file (had incorrect solitaire graphic dll module in my kitchen ><)
Updated alarm 1-5 to more suit the theme (1-4 are mario 5 is CTU)
Updated default ringer to be more clear (increased wav from 11000 to 16000 from the original sample)
Cleaned up & removed most help files and duplicate shortcuts in /windows/

NOTES:: from this revision

found that CREATEOS chokes on initflashfiles after a certain amount, to resolve, I built ONE HUGE initflashfiles.txt and put it in the OEM folder under Z_Reg_Tweaks (the one i use to write all the registry changes after all the OEM packages are built to avoid reg conflicts) By doing this, I have had zero issues with shortcuts randomly not showing up on different builds of the ROM. And... for those of you following how to build a kitchen... make sure your initflashfiles & rgu files all have a HARD RETURN at the bottom (a blank line after your last line of txt) or it wont compile properly everytime in CREATEOS. I have also decided to build a version of this ROM that is not customized out of the box for SPRINT as our community here is not exclusive to SPRINT. I do NOT have access to a verizon phone however, so I will need you VZ people to give me feedback to ensure the same stability and functionality as the SPRINT one. Im glad to see this evolve into something that a large majority of you enjoy. Thanks!







++++++++++++++++++++REVISION 9+++++++++++++++
removed r8 and uploaded revision 9.. here are the changes
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


removed star power sound on volume control
removed dominoes game to make room for microsoft voice cmd
updated phone dialpad skin to suit the mario theme
added microsoft voice command w/ working BT & button #5
removed .NET1 as much as i could and used kitchen netcf2 after doing research on .NET1


My Comments
-I have absolutely no problems with this setup. Myself & others are struggling to include MS VOICE & PHONEALARM, so once we figure these out expect another release. I also plan on finishing my custom phone dialpad to suit my mario theme so stay tuned for that as well. Unfortunately I cant take requests, this rom was built for my fellow Sprint employees and all of my friends. We have tested now 8 revisions of this rom and find it to suite all of our needs. I know the spb suite things are fairly popular, but to be honest, everyone I know has 3-4 things only on their today screen and hate "junk" if you will. (BT audio route, phonealarm, lvmtime, calendar+) So we opted to not even include the OEM packages. I will be documenting my OEM packages on the FTP sometime in the next few weeks, now that things have settled down, and we have a stable kitchen.

I have had an exceedingly difficult time with the instructions available on the forums, and tearing through countless hours of thread reading.... it has been decided that once the final kitchen is released I will be writing a step by step guide, with fully illustrated pictures on how to build your own ROM from the kitchen. I will also include my HUGE list of shit not to do... seriously, this is going to be important... like adding more ringtones, or overwriting the existing ones with your own.... will get you a white screen on boot... stupid shit like that. My struggles with getting the registry to do what I wanted, why some programs just plain wont work as OEM (like the 20226.cab)... i will also be including shortcuts you can use to ensure that when a new kitchen comes out, all you need to do is open a .bat file and ALL your changes will carry over to the new kitchen.

I wondered so much why other ROM authors dont include a lot of these things, and after spending (no sh*t like 3 weeks) building up a stable, working, ROM... i completely understand why... it takes SOOOOOOO MUCH TIME!!! and when you are in the groove and getting your ROM up and running, you dont take time to note the changes you made, and the steps you took, and especially documenting the mistakes you made along the way. I cant thank enough people for the support Ive gotten from the community to see this through, to finally have a phone the way **I** want it. And now.... now that my kitchen is baking ROMs the way I want, to be able to customize each and every single persons ROM that I come across that wants it, fully suited to their needs in the case of a hard reset. PPCGeeks is the best support community I have ever seen, and if there is anything more that I can contribute, believe me I will.

Please enjoy my release, I hope it to be of the same calibur as the others that have posted completed ROM projects.
-Thank YOU!

Wow, that is a quite impressive list of apps that are in the ROM. That saves a ton of storage space. Just curious, but on a fresh install how much storage and program memory is available?

Fantastic! I've also had a difficult time going back and forth from one set of instructions to another. I am very much looking forward to your step-by-step.

Thanks!

Uhhh, there is a problem when I hit the slider key to adjust the volume of my phone.

It plays the whole "super mario got a star music" when i adjust it once.


EDIT: I forgot to say thanks! It's a great ROM! the only thing I didn't like was that 10sec wav. Heh ^_^"

change the default.wav file to whatever youd like. believe it or not, the volume slider sounds are all disabled when in a call, but for some reason that one still plays when your outside a call. I have phonealarm do most of my volume stuffs so i dont get it that often, but i should have pointed that out as it is a 10 second wav. if its that annoying to some of you i can easily rebuild w/out that sound. Thanks for the feedback! and if anyone knows the registry entry to disable the volume slider sound ill disable it in the next revision so you still get the awesomeness on a soft reset!


im not sure if you can use it on verizon, i have the sprintoem stuffs as part of the package. Im sure you could, youll need to remake the vision connection though and add Verizon for the MMS settings. the ## codes may be different as well, im not entirely sure what controls those, if its the SPRINTOEM or if its built into the phone itself.

I've been using Colonel's 3.3beta3 since it was released and nothing else. But I think I'm actually gonna try this one. It sounds way awesome and I love Mario! Can't wait to get it loaded, downloading as we speak.
I'll post screen shots for everyone as soon as I can.
