If you do get the text/voicemail/email notifications on yours, could you tell me what build you're using? Or even better, could you post/send me a saved .ERV file from the kitchen for the build/config you use?

Text message notifications work just fine from the New Lockscreen. It was pretty cool too, slide right to reply.
I don't use the Lockscreen, so I don't know about the other notifications, but here's some details.
SYS-28002
XIP-23081

Here's the erv. I renamed it as txt for easy reading.

Aha, that must be it -- you're using a 23081 XIP. I was building with the 28002/23506 XIP. Curious though, where'd you get that XIP? It's not included in the 4.2 kitchen and it's not listed in Calk's "sys folder" that I can see.

Maybe I'll try doing a build with 28002 SYS and 23088 XIP -- I do have that one at least. I'll let you know everyone know how it goes. Thanks for the info!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've posted this in the diamond side a few times, you might want to check there next time.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\KeyState]
"KeyVibratorState"=dword:00000000

Thanks! Weird thing is I did my search on the whole board, then tried to narrow it down to a few specific forums and threads... I guess hardware keyboard vibrate or hardware keyboard vibration weren't the right thing to search for

Wish I could give credit where it's due for the 23081 but I cant remember (possibly, raidzero).
Plus, 23088 should be a modified 23081 so I hope it works well for ya.
If not, I'll just upload my ROM & SYS folders for you. Lemme know.

Thank you.

I've seen posts where people just say to copy this folder from an older version and rename the folder. This works, but then I usually get different version numbers when I do a system/about - like CE OS 23506/ (Build 28002). Is the OEMXipkernel the CE OS, or the build and does it really matter other than a visual inconsistency? Is this folder generally the same for most 6.5.x builds and how to get the version/build numbers matched up if I just copy from an older build folder?

The scenario you describe above would happen only if you used an older MSXIPKernel, not an older OEMXIPKernel.

OEMXIP is independent of the build, it's device specific and the original OEMXIP dumped from a stock ROM can/should be used over and over for each successive build.

MSXIP is build specific and changes from build to build, and is usually included in builds posted by build hacks like me

Sometimes you will find an xip.bin in the build package with no MSXIPKernel. This xip.bin can be dumped and used to create the MSXIPKernel for the build in question using tools like XIPPort and XIDump.

This xip.bin IS NOT the same as the xip.bin you find in the ROM\device folder, so don't mix the two or bad things will happen... hehe.

Also, most "non-booting" ROM flashes are due to bad XIPs, either OEM or MS or both. The XIP is a level above the SPL layer, but is still in some sense like a high-level BIOS, whereas the SPL is closer to what can be viewed as a traditional BIOS. This is why our phones need an SPL unlocker to flash. The stock SPL is analogous to a "password protected" computer BIOS, and no low-level changes can be made to a computer with PWP-BIOS unless you know the password, even though OS updates can be done. For our phones however, OS updating is a low-level function as it requires a flash (well not absolutely, but OEMs don't use the OTA update sub-system yet universally) so hence the SPL must be unlocked.

Hope this helps clear things up for you.

Thank you sir! That does clear things up. That must have been what happened with my build numbers (an older MSXIP).

Is there a secret place where "build hacks" like you post the necessary, sorted files for Calks VK?

I forget the exact reg key too, but it's in the shared modules .reg.

I post in this thread and in a few others on PPCG, and also over at XDA and ED/TP.

I'm working on a kitchen release now, and almost there, but it won't be as diverse as Calk's: I'm a strict WP65x hack, don't use Manila, and don't chase every build that's released. I use my phone for business, and need a fast, efficient, reliable ROM, and it will be focused on TP2 and TP1 initially, but likely will end up TP2 only down the line unless I can support TP1 once I sell mine

I have not seen any new builds past 23506 & 28002 that are "must haves" and so I haven't packaged up any new builds for the latest releases.

K, back on topic.
