• Vogue Dialer OEM Causes Dialer to Popup on Application Close

  I have the HTC Vogue dialer and a fairly basic ROM installed from the kitchen. As I was setting up everything it seems the screen kept returning to the dialer view (sometimes the keypad and other times the in call screen).

• Simple PIN Locks Up Phone?

Select Simple PIN as your password type and set a password of at least 5 digits 3. Soft reset your phone 4. Wait for the device to fully load (IE the tool bar theme has loaded and the phone has found a signal) 5. Now try to unlock the phone with your pin.

I flashed back to every iteration of helmi's wm6 ROM I had and they all suffered that issue. Seems to be some sort of timeout issue... like the device is waiting for "something" once you click unlock, and when it doesn't happen in x amount of time the device gives up and proceeds anyway. That's what it "seems" like anyway--I could be way off base. I had helmi confirm that it does not occur on the Universal (which is the closest device hardware-wise to the Apache). So it's either a driver issue or something in the registry that's causing it. Hopeully we'll get to the bottom of it soon.

• Missing Button Mappings

Error on startup
 

Just downloaded a fresh version of Helmi_WM6_Apache_Kitchen_071107_2.exe, and PPCGeeks_OEM.rar ... i get the following error:

I just cooked to put my favorite apps, but surprise, some dont run, like all mobile mines, rubik, advanced configuration, contactfix, among other, say that one or several components is missing, what they need to run???????

Confirmed, kitchen updated shortly.

.net compact framework--version 2 is sufficient. That is checked by default so you must have unchecked it somewhere along the line.

It was my bad.

New MD5 Hash for exe is 3B427979116CE4B0A158D9EE8C46B3D0

To save time you can download the attachment instead.

Extended ROM
 

So far f.... amazing. Do you guys ever sleep.

Just one issue, Extended ROM not visable. Have use the 6700 Hacks and Advanced Settings to enable and show the ROM, SoftReset but still not showing.

Is their a registry hack I need to set??

iggy you can either build your ROM again and this time click the "ExtROM Unlock" checkbox at the bottom of the "Carrier Customize" section or use a registry editor to modify the following entries:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\ TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002

Bloody hell, I can't believe I missed that.

Thanks, you guys are amazing, the registry hack worked fine.

luv2chill I see my Simple PIN bug made your list, I have updated my post with better steps to reproduce this bug.

Kolano is the master of the bug lists but yes I was able to confirm your report by doing a soft reset with password enabled (had similar lockup problems whether it was simple pin or regular password). I could never reproduce that behavior just with a simple inactivity timeout, but I know you said that was random. But it definitely occurred after every soft reset.

I flashed back to every iteration of helmi's wm6 ROM I had and they all suffered that issue. Seems to be some sort of timeout issue... like the device is waiting for "something" once you click unlock, and when it doesn't happen in x amount of time the device gives up and proceeds anyway. That's what it "seems" like anyway--I could be way off base.

I had helmi confirm that it does not occur on the Universal (which is the closest device hardware-wise to the Apache). So it's either a driver issue or something in the registry that's causing it. Hopeully we'll get to the bottom of it soon.

yep. I have the sprint 6700. Sometimes it acts like that on reset. wait it out, and it goes away.

There seems to be a leftover ".svn" folder in the Patches directory.

We'll get that cleaned up. It shouldn't cause any harm, but please delete it.

I don't use this oem, but just took a look at it to help you guys out. This is the offending part of the package:


In order for auto completion/correction to work, you have to use the comp ime, not the et9 ime.

For completion to work, it should read:

I'm assuming this would break the touch keyboard's features, but feel free to test it.

Well, I'm glad to see that you're using source control. :)

I have a bug with iguidance 3.0.1. When you setup a route and it starts navigating you, if you touch the screen to go to menu for example it exits the program. This does not occur with 3.5 1.0.4 kitchen.

Not a big deal, but thought you'd like to know.

Some kinds of smart dialer such as celedial ( http://www.yonsm.net/attachment.php?...leDial.CHS.rar ) seems not working with the dialer in this kitchen. Others works (such as the embedded smart dialer (for english only) and new-e easydial ( http://61.152.249.107/bbs/attach.aspx?attachid=42 ).
celedial worked fine with aku 0.4 and wm5 helmi_c 1.0.4 as well as official rom.

Define not working. What is/isn't happening.

Not sure this is a bug or an anomaly. Has anyone exp. slow access to SD card? All files and folders do eventually come up through file explorer, but it's taking nearly 1-2 minutes. Previous access was nearly instant.

The first 2 times I tried to access it, i thought it locked my device so I S/R.

Attached is my selections.txt file.

let me know if you need any thing else or if you've had it.

Sprint ROM

Please give more info about your card. how big is it? SD or SDHC? Format? Fat or Fat32?
Using an adapter?

Sorry,... should have included that.

SD, 2GB, fat32. Direct slot in device if that's what you mean by adapter.

Try this please:

first get a soft reset program on your phone, you can get one free here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/s.ph...rds=soft+reset

then get a registry editor for your phone, you can get one free here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-...tor-v0-70.html

Open the registry editor and navigate to these keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\MMC_Class]
in each one, find BlockTransferSize.
Change the value to 20 in hexidecimal for each of the two. Soft reset your phone using the soft reset program you downloaded and try again. Let us know how that works for you.

Thanks... have changed it and it is definately faster.

FYI ...

SDMemory Class > Block Transfer was set to 16
MMC > Block Transfer was set to 64

I don't recall doing anything in these registry settings previously. Is this default in the new ROM?

Thanks again for the fast response and fix.

On Sprint I Made A Rom Didnt Let It Customize reset phone all went well

Problem is
1) after any task it goes to phone
2) In Phone Setting it No Setting For Internet Or A Way To Make It Work

Here is a split version of Office Mobile...
http://tiermann.co.nr/downloads/Split_Office.rar

Extract all folders to user_oem in your kitchen, start buildOS and you should now have Office Word, Office Excel, and Office Powerpoint seperately in the "Document Viewers" section. To fully test these OEM's, uncheck the original "Office Mobile" and choose one or all three of the new items.
Example: Choosing "Office Word" will only install word, word templates, and all it requires to run. (1.6mb vs the entire 5.7mb)

Please do test this, all of you who would like to see it in future kitchens.

Been discuss before. I thing the Vogue dilaer was the culprit. I haven't seen a fix yet.

Awesome :) Thanks for that, was this based off of the .cab files from XDA?

What is the hidden office requirements folder and does it go into oem folder as well?

You're welcome. And this was based off the original office oem(s) from the kitchen SYS. I split up all rgus and provxml's manually.

Hidden Office Requirements is exactly that. It goes in user_oem with the rest of the folders. It is a hidden oem (doesn't show as a choice in buildOS) that only gets installed (automatically as a requirement) if you choose one of the office apps. It contains all files that the three of them share.

Is the ActiveSyncMode app / configuration settings mentioned here relevant to the current kitchen?

Possibly. But I suggest people just make it a habit of putting their phone in bootloader mode before connecting it to the PC to flash--saves having to toggle the mode (if that's even related to the problem) and gives you your best chance of having it "just work".

nope if you are seeing 64 and 16 it means you are viewing the numbers in decimal and not hexidecimal. if you saw 16 and 64 change them both to 32.

We're trialing different settings here based on card, size, type and format and it will take some trial and error. that value can be 16 to 512 in decimal. the higher the value the larger the transfer. in your case with a smaller card non sdhc the 32 or 0x20 is probably better for you. you can experiment with the values of 32 and 64 both and report back. try to keep them the same

Some cleanup questions for the gang:

XTC X Button 2.0 OEM has a 1.4mb file "TaskManagerApp.idb" - does it need it? I don't think so since its not in the cab file itself
MobileCalculator.exe (.5MB) is in core, no way to exclude it even if you are using 1-cacl lite

Also, if I am using the Patch dir to replace some files with 0-length files, does that override happen at a point where the file size savings is going to keep me from getting an out of memory error?

I took it out.

Also, during the build I see:

Setting PagePool=8
PagePool address=50B4FE

But if I pull up the Tools->Page Pool it has "Current Page Pool: 7
New Page Pool: 8

I changed the 8 to 7 and re-built, and during that build....

Setting PagePool=7

So, the GUI is still a little confused :D

No idea if I want a rom with a page pool of 7 or not, btw...

Why Is Button 3 Not Mapped To The Camera. Dont know if this is a bug or not but it should be mapped to this. Can someone please fix this?? Thank you.....Great Work BTW.

I thought they fixed that in this version (we are 2 revs from the first release, have you re-downloaded the kitchen?)

It's supposedly resolves Activesync errors that sometime occur when you connect your phone via USB. I know I had that issue with past kitchens, though I haven't noticed it with the current kitchen yet. Not sure if others have seen the issue on the new kitchen or not.
