Which ROM has the shortest Ring delay?

[juddrl]

just finished testing a few different configurations (different slot settings, different ROMs) and here's what I've found:

Changing the slot cycle index to 1 did nothing noticable for me. My home phone was still ringing up to 4 times before my TP dpad would light up.

I then changed it to 0 and the difference was night and day. The dpad lights up almost instantly after the first ring from my home phone. It still takes about a second for the actual ringer to sound but what an improvement!

I'm in New York City using Sprint with the new Telus radio on DREAM v0.8_24pp (which I don't see posted anymore but still the one that works best for me; most stable and fastest rom imho).

Here's the link to the current Dream Roms( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...ight=dream+rom )

On a side note, the Telus radio ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46616 ) improved my battery life incredibly. I'll have to see what changing the polling index to 0 does but if it doesn't affect battery life too much, this is the configuration I would recommend.

BTW, I also changed the PRL to 60650 ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=47435 )but I don't think that has anything to do with polling, just data roaming from what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong). Remember, you'll need you your MSL code to change these settings ( http://www.baf.cc/bafmsl ).

Does anyone know how to get the ringer to go off at the same time the dpad lights up? I'm just nipicking at this point, it's pretty darn quick. I'm just using a regular HTC ringtone that came with the ROM.


update: sometimes very fast but sometimes the phone wouldn't ring at all. Set the slot cycle back to 1. Everything is good.

I'm having very good luck correcting the horrible ring script to something reasonable.

Using TF3d to change your ringer to vibe or off and then back will slap back in one of the horrible slow ring patterns again, so just use the volume control only to do that - less friendly, but unless/until I can find out if the script patterns are stored somewhere editable, that's my solution.

FYI ringer script description for WinMo is in a bazillion places on the web, I use this one

Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics

If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

To have the device 'Vibrate and Ring' simultaneously:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "av0pw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

For me a simple
av1w1pr
makes it vibrate and ring like a tweaker...
Check whatever code you have in there now, its probably full of long horrible waits.

nice find schettj! I changed mine to: af1pw1r

It's still not simultaneous between the flash notification and the ring (like the tutorial says it would be since only the ringer plays all the way through before the next step) but it's closer. I didn't need the vibrate so I left that out.
