Re: [ROM] SKI-ROM Build 031410 CE OS 5.2.23542 M2.5.2012/M2.1 - Sashimi Compliant

[gorocket1981]

This ROM is excellent. Fast and stable but with new things included. It is really the best I tried up to now. I tried to cook some ROM in the past but I never get a ROM like that. I'm sure doing it took a lot of time, but you can be proud of it.

Up to now, I found like 2 or 3 problems. I use the 122309 Standard Build. I did all the flashdance. Hope someone can help me.

- The weather in Manila. When it launch for the first time, my location was "detected". That's my problem. It keeps saying that my location is Quebec. With that, the weather on the homepage is the one from Quebec and in the Weather tab I see Quebec also. I went in the weather tab and added Montreal because that is really my location. I have only Montreal in the list. Quebec is not in the list. In fact, I never found it in this list. Event if I added Montreal, the weather in the homepage is still the one of Quebec. What should I do to have my device using my real location. I would like to have my real weather on the homepage. What should I do??

- The clock on the Manila home page. I see the clock on the homepage and the time is good. If I go in an application or in the Windows application menu or quick menu or another application that is not Manila related and I go back to my home page the time is like an hour back the real time. At this time, Manila "realize" it and set it to the correct time but with a strange fashion... Someone know what should I do to have it always to the correct time? I checked in the regional settings and everything appear to be OK.

- I am unable to make the Device Information working. In the menu, Settings, System there is the Device Information icon. When I click on it, something loads but it is blank. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?

For now, that's it... It's small things I found up to now. Other than that, I really like this ROM. If someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

I've never been more confident in saying...it's not the ROM
Not saying you were blaming the ROM, just wanted to say that.

My Location

This feature is very quirky across many ROMs, some users (me) have awesome results and some dont. Did Montreal ever come up for you in the past?
Since the feature is largely based on tower communication, a new radio and/or updating your PRL may help.
Also you could try the suggestion in this post

Clock

It's not an error, just a quirk of the port, use this cab, should do the trick

Device Info

Pretty sure ahuskins is aware and is something that is well established, not just on this ROM

It is prolly my ghey apps that I have installed but I ran an Application(devhealth.exe) that breaks down the memory. You'll notice that the PagePool is @ 0 which is dynamic.

The total memory usage from this sample = 153MB which leaves right under 50MB free.

Not saying you were blaming the ROM, just wanted to say that.

Good to know! He really did a great job.

Since the feature is largely based on tower communication, a new radio and/or updating your PRL may help.

I used Mobile Shell a lot before, so I can't tell. But Montreal is a big city...
I did the flash dance and I flashed the Telus radio that I found in the radio thread. Comments were good so I tried it. Else I could try the Sprint one that also receive great comments.
What exactly does the PRL and how I update it?

I'll try this.

OK, that's not a big issue. It was just to report it. If I can fix my location problem, I will be more than happy!!

Now I have never been more confident in saying.......It's not the ROM......

That problem is a common problem of the ol TP1. Dead physical keyboards are no new thing brother........BUT lucky for you if your unit is less than 1yr old.....Sprint is/was giving TP2 as replacement for faulty tp1.....but they always seem to come up with a batch of refurbs as well so don't get too excited......

I had two units replaced due to Kb that acted just like yours. Flash dance back to shipped stock ROM and see if it clears it up. If so(doubtful) do the dance back to this ROM and see if it comes back. Make sure you do a flash dance (HR,flash to stock, hr, flash to SKI-ROM, hr, then hit it with a SR after she is all through for good measure). Normaly not a required jig for every flash, but when real quirky issues pop up that no one or only a couple are noticing, a flash dance is the best way to clear the system and start fresh and find where the problem is. I would bet a call to Sprint or whoever is in store for ya though...

Good Luck Bro! Merry holiday season!

PRL
Preferred Roaming List
Lets your phone know the latest towers in your area.
Not sure about Telus but while on Stock ROM look for a update PRL icon/program (Sprint does this).
If not call customer service and request one manually, again I can do this with Sprint.

Good Luck.
