Well on the new 1.5u, seemed to have digressed a little cause now I cant activate Internet Sharing in BT mode at all. It gets a "Cannot Connect reason unknown" message when I click connect. Internet sharing works in USB mode and BT still seems work in all but PAN mode.

I tried wModem which I used to use in 2.x all the time. It appears to work but does not expose the DUN profile. So its not available from my laptop. I added a BT serial port and that profile is visable from other devices but no DUN when wmodem is running.
im not sure wich mode of BT aku2.0 had and thats where i pulled all of the files from. Does adding the BT serial port allow you to wmodem in BT mode? I can dig around and see wich files in particular are exclusive to PAN and see if they play nice with the other BT changed files i inserted this round.

Loving the new Sonic theme, was getting a little bored of Mario. I had BT PAN working on 1.3 (I think it was 1.3?) before, and now I can't even seem to tether with DUN now. Might just be me, but I dunno - I had DUN working on my macbook before.

Also, phone vibrates getting a cell but not a text. Any way to fix this?
Im surprised you cant make a DUN connection. as stated above, ill dig around and see if i can nail down the specific files and registry entries to make PAN work and see if we cant solve that issue here shortly.

RE: the vibrate.... go to start - settings - sound & notifications - dropdown the box to Messaging: New Message (Pal... and then check the "vibrate" checkbox beneath it.

The SMS applet has locked the phone up three times now. It seems to crash whenever I get a message and I'm using PIE to browse a site... :/
This is the 1st ive heard of this. Did you attempt to disable PIE+, you may want to try that, and report back to me if its still crashing the phone. It doesnt crash mine ><.. instructions for disabling PIE+ are in the "known issues" on p1

as far as it running slower, thats just silly. The stock rom has little to no file cache and is not optimized in the slightest. I did turn DOWN the cache from 9.6 but its still double and even triple in some places from the stock loaded 3.5

... Unchecking this does not stop the programs functionality. Just because to take the clock off the today screen does not mean you ppc forgets what time it is. When posting please dont be an "internet tough guy" and post something helpful...
actually it does disable it. nothing you setup in PA will function if you turn off the today plugin. its the same for any plugin on the today-screen that is not already running in the background somewhere else. You disable weatherpanel, it stops checking for the weather and updating itself. If i shut off the speed-dials, they dont inherintly make a hook into the contact database when i tap the screen.

++++++++++++

Im sorry that PA is causing problems for you guys. The only other option i have is to remove it from the ROM. On my end (wich is just me) the application works fantastic now that its on the latest and I have had no lockups or anything since 1.5uB.

Keep in mind as you read these posts... a LOT of the issues people are having are not the ROM so to speak, but more not understanding how something functions or works on the phone or in conjunction with other applications.

The only *REAL* issue that seems to have come up since 1.3 really, is the fact that the BlueTooth is not working properly. It seems like everytime i fix one BlueTooth problem, another arises.

Lets review the course of the unified ROM

1.0 - glitchy as f*ck, a steep learning curve going to the new kitchen (BlueTooth issues with kitchen)

1.1 - outlook was all jacked up due to new dependancy on HTML templates(BlueTooth issues with kitchen)

1.2 - random cleanup, kitchen optimization, OEM headaches(BlueTooth issues with kitchen)

1.3 - Phonealarm REALLY exposed the BT issues with such ease of access to the BT on/off. *BUT* the issue ALREADY existed! (BlueTooth issues with kitchen)

1.4 - struggles with BT & PA, remove PA ability to control BT & attempt to resolve BT issues myself by pulling files from other kitchens on XDA (BlueTooth issues with kitchen)

1.5 - downgrade BT, resolves ALL known KITCHEN BT issues, but PAN is broken- effectively stopping it from working with laptops.

1.5 sp1 - will attempt to track down PAN only related files & registry. If successfull will have resolved BT issues completely... ALTHOUGH... the unified kitchen STILL will have BT issues...... if my CAB file works, ill release.....

1.5 (final) - I plan on increasing the cache slightly in 3 places. BT will function properly in both DUN & PAN modes for not just headsets but laptops and inet sharing application as well.

------ note, that ALL other programs in the ROM function EXACTLY the way they would had you installed them yourself from a cab file or exe. If you dont like it, dont use it. If you want a "clean" ROM, either delete the shortcuts to the programs, or install kirvins clean & simple.

I have spent literally HUNDREDS of hours testing my ROMs, most of the testing is done by about 10 people. Recently, I have been releasing beta's because there are things i feel you guys deserve to have immediately. I dont want the community to suffer through a broken ROM for 3 or 4 weeks while i "test" out a fix that i know works.

I cant *fix* the BT issues. All i can do is borrow work from others, piece it togethor like a nasty jigsaw puzzle with 3000 pieces and hope i got it all done right at the end of the day. -YES im running out of ideas, but hell, i think its nice to throw B roms your way when i feel that im on to something.

Right now I feel the 1.5uB to be the most stable ROM to date from the unified kitchen... if for no other reason than the stupid BT fix I have implemented allows headsets to work and stay paired, and able to shut on/off all day everyday. No other unified ROM can do this without suffering the endless spin when turning on BT after a few hours of use. It is the minority, even for this community to use BT to connect to a laptop.... however... i AM working hard to fix it, and I feel this is the last serious issue, or even minor issue that my rom suffers right now.

Just to give you a heads up for what the next Beta will have in regards to BT. Im going to basicly do the exact same thing i did this time, but instead of pulling from AKU2.0 im going to pull them from the kitchen that helmi released initially (AKU3.3). The same kitchen the 9.6 ROM is built from where BT is functioning perfectly with both DUN & PAN connections and has no known issues with the "endless-spin".

Instead of releasing the next beta public, i need only 3 people or so that use bluetooth with laptops. Both to sync/xfer and for internet sharing/wmodem. Please PM me if interested. If nobody responds I have a laptop at work with a newer BT card than my own, and if im not locked out of it anymore ill do the best i can to test for stability.

so, ya, PM me or something cuz that will rock!


If that works, Im probrably done. At least for a very, very long time. If it fails, im done until the kitchen is updated with working BT files.
