• "server cert is wrong"?

I was unable to find any real answer searching google and these forums. I have tried to manually import the cert and doing the registry change but I'm still running into the same problem. To be more specific, without the registry change, I get a message stating the server is the wrong name, with the registry it just tells me the certificate is wrong. I have checked all date/time settings on both my server and my phone, both match exactly. I have full access to the exchange server and phone.

• Vogue Dialer OEM Causes Dialer to Popup on Application Close?
  
  Quote:

  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).

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.

I ended up just using the oem files from the earlier one which had the skin since most of the newer oems in there I dont use anyway.

I'm not sure yet if the issues seen are due to a partially implemented OEM or the developmental status of .16 as of yet. Since we missed listing this in the changelog I'm guessing the former.

• Simple PIN Locks Up Phone?

  Originally Posted by Lazybones (Post 114950) Soft reset your device while it is enabled.. then let the password screen fully load. I tested it by just setting the password. It happens nearly every time after a soft reset, and randomly when the device is put to sleep. Edit: More detailed Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to settings and lock 2. 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.

Open programs and launch Advanced Configuration 7. Hit the "Done" softkey (you don't have to change anything) 8. When prompted, say "yes" to soft-restart 9. Repeat steps 4 and 5. When you call the phone this second time, it will do what blksprk described every time for me. Note that I am not making any other registry changes. On the last release of the Kitchen, I was able to use the older Advanced Configuration 1.0 OEM without issues.

Known Resolutions

• Album and Resco Explorer Conflict
  
  Quote:

  Originally Posted by tiermann You'll get a duplicate file message if you pick both HTC Album and Resco Explorer. Reason being that HTC Album was hacked to let you browse for a directory using resco's dll. I've fixed the duplicate file message for next release, but for now you can just hit ok. Both apps will work with either version of the dll for now anyway.

HTC Random access Doesn't work on the 6700. Never did. I tested the one in the kitchen and that one doesn't work either.

1. Today agenda isn't working now. Worked fine before. Installed Today agenda via cab and works fine.
2. HTC Task Manager freezes the entire sysytem when you hit icon in to right corner(todaymenu) on first run and after resets. Seems to run ok after that until another reset. Freezes using HTC Home 2.1 and 2.0.

Error Rom Size
 

When i create a Rom, with Standard RUU, Generic carrier.

I have a this error:

Compliled Size (0x395fec0) greater than Max Rom Size (0x38e5800)

You included too much stuff. Uncheck stuff until the error goes away.

Flashed and everything looks great!

Two bugs carried over:

1) Pressing the Green phone button brings up the dial pad, but pressing it again doesn't redial the last number. Pressing the talk button on the dialer doesn't either, I have to go into call history to dial.

2) When connected to my BT headset I'm not able to pick up on the handset. This is nice if I have just gotten out of the car (or a meeting) and the phone rings, I can leave the headset connected but talk on the handset. As it is now I have to hit the green talk button, then hit disable head set ASAP or fumble around for the headset. (Ok, so I found a swap button on my dial pad, that helps a lot with this issue)

1) that's likely a function of your dialer, as I don't experience this problem. What dialer are you using?

2) that's not a bug - it's the way it's designed.

Green Line Across the Top of the 6700
 

Morning all,

Ok first off this kitchen is soo good. You guys have done a fantastic job in keeping this up to date, and I have learned soo much about my phone and how I can customize it. You have saved me a costly upgrade to the 6800!

I flashed my phone using the new kitchen, plus adding an OEM with my own personal settings. After the hard reset I have a strange green line across the top of the phone. Sometimes it goes about three qtrs of the way across, from left to right, and other times it is completely across the screen. Its weird...I swear I have seen this once before so I am not sure if its kitchen related or not.

Thanks,
Steve

Ok stupid me...I figured it out! Its the battery indicator in WKTASK. Sorry to have bothered you all!

Steve

Which screen are you on when you have the green line? If it's the boot splash, please post the splash image (or tell me which one it is, if it's a standard one).

If it's the today screen, is it a battery gauge?

1) I can accept that - I'll pick a new one next time :-)

2) This is sad news to me, I've always previously had the ability to control my pick up by which button I push. If I answered with the button on the headset or on my car steering wheel the call came to blue tooth, if I picked up the receiver and hit the hard button the phone knew I wanted to talk on the handset and sent the call there automatically. I guess the last time I can definitively recall this happening is WM5, but I thought it had carried over in WM6 as well for the first few builds. Oh well.

I didn't try BT on WM5, so maybe it was different, but I'd be suprised if that functionality changed between WM5 and WM6. In the kitchen, the caller id announce over BT is done by redirecting audio to BT. If you undo that, you may recover the functionality you recall - but you'll lose call announce over BT.

Doesn't seem to work for me.. pressing the right soft key or attempting to access contacts via the soft key in the phone screen or from the start menu all result in a screen flashing past and then nothing. Basically it makes your contacts unaccessible.

Anyone actually get this thing working? Looks like a handy app. :(

Is this your first time upgrading from a stock rom? Sync your contacts list and you should be good again.

HTC Album brings up a file tree before starting with 5 blue boxes at the top, almost like its a foreign application.. no matter what i do i cant stop this from popping up at the beginning everytime i wanna load up htc album. Is this they way its supposed to be? The last versions i had didnt do this.. and this is annoying.

Sweet that did the trick. Thanks a million!

Nope.. been using the kitchens for a while. I tried putting all my personal data back on the phone, but it had no effect. I cooked up a rom without this app.. sad, it would have been nice. Contacts work fine now without that oem.

Hey, what happened to my MortPlayer 3.3 skips and stutters with the newest kitchen? I really miss them. Just kidding. This is much better! Did you guys fix something related to SD card playback? I used to have to choose "copy before playing" to clean this up. Now it hasn't skipped at all.

Or it could be related to my recent tragedy. I tried to get Temp Internet and Cookie files to go to my storage card, then ran MemMaid cleanup and it ate most of my storage card files. So I had to reload my music. :-(

Edit: Well, I reflashed removing some of the new HTC stuff looking for stability and the skips and stutters came back. So I let it copy the song to main memory before playing. That always works.

HTC Home 2.1 in the kitchen is compatible with Home Customizer 1.0 Beta 5, so that can be removed from the log. Tested and working.

I've been searching the forums and have found that weatherpanel is the culprit for battery drainage. Can any of you guys figure put what the bugs are in the wp app and hpw to update wp?

Weatherpanel is known to be problematic (which is why it's not in the PPCGeeks OEM package), unfortunately I don't believe there is any known resolution at this time.

Please open an other thread to discuss this further, and WeatherPanel is not part of the default kitchen.

nevermind, i found the latest htc album cab without directory selection... dunno if theres any compatibility issues with apache wm6, but imma try it out..

Required Module not in Project
 

I was running the previous kitchen 071117. I have just run 071217, initially without deleting 071177, and downloaded and copied PPCGeeks_OEM.rar to c:\BuildOS. Now when I run the kitchen I get the following error:
Required Module not in Project
Module : Flash Video Bundle
Ref: blah blah

When I click ok, I then get:
BuildOS
Module not found (blah blah, HTC smartdialing)
Module not found (blah blah, Office Excel)
Module not found (blah blah, Office Powerpoint)
Module not found (blah blah, Office Word)

After clicking ok, it takes me to the kitchen, although a number of other programs are missing eg: Microsoft Voice Command, WiFiFoFum, HTC Task Manager, Phone Boost, etc...

I'm sure it's user error. I have deleted the directory and reinstalled, and also re-downloaded PPCGeeks_OEM.rar but the same results. Appreciate your thoughts on what I've done wrong.

You didn't install the OEM.rar correctly. Check your naming and install directory.

Thanks, I did change install directory from previous version. So reran 071217, and seems to have fixed it. Thanks

I upgraded using the new kitchen and picked from the OEM package to create my rom; now the vibrate won't work. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Issue solved. I had used one of the tweak programs to turn off the blinking LED light; once I turned it back on, the vibrate works fine. Go figure!

Flash isn't being detected by some websites.

ex: www.speedtest.net

Says it needs Flash version 7. Worked with Verizonguy's last standalone release (A4, prior to his kitchen, which I never messed around with).

Which flash player did you include in your ROM?

I can confirm that in WM5, while BT headset was connected, you could hit the answer button on the handset and it would answer with the call staying on the phone and not going to the headset.

I have noticed that including both flash lite and flash player seems to cause some conflicts. for one, flash player steals the file association from swf files. I would say try it with just flash player and not flash lite and see if it resolves the issue. I created a hybrid that installs both, but so not ready for prime time yet. I also upgraded my OEM to flash lite 2.1 is there a reason we dont have an updated one? is adobe being a hooch about redistribution?

On another note, two problems:

1. This kitchen makes me encode the file during the build manually(click encode and find the file, click encode). While not a big deal i liked being able to click go, then go to bed and wake up to a ROM ready to be flashed... I know, slow computer.

2. I cant set the data connection to always on without some nasty side effects:
a. Answering a phone call defaults to speakerphone even though the phone dosnt know it on speaker phone
b. I get about 5 seconds to answer the phone when it rings then it bumps to voicemail, and when I do answer it the status screen says "Unknown" for the caller, call log lists a missed call from the caller immediately followed by the unknown call.
These side effect result from both a manual registry edit and using Advanced Config

Another note is that when doing a manual reg edit (HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7c4b7a38...}\Connect ions\, is only lists "Data Network Connection" where as it used to say "Verizon Wireless"

It shouldn't do that if you selected a carrier in the toolbar dropdown. If you did, which carrier did you select?

I cant even believe I did that... I forgot that installing a new kitchen wipes the selection.txt and you start from scratch but your spot on

Try saving your selections under a different filename.

I tried both Flash Lite with Flash Player, then Flash Player alone, then Flash Lite alone. I also tried without any Flash at all and then manually installed Flash Lite 2.1 and Flash Mobile 7 directly from Adobe - that didn't work out well at all, so I just added them both back into the kitchen.

At this point, I think it's something to do with the website's implementation of Flash and not the player, since it seems to work fine on other sites. I couldn't say for sure unless I went back to Verizonguy's A4 build, which I'd rather not do now that I'm hooked on the kitchen.

This may be a symptom of trying to use a ringtone from your storage card. Big delay when your phone has to go to storage to get ringtone. Try moving ringtone to My Ringtones folder on device and see if this solves the issue.

I just flashed with a ROM made from the newest Kitchen.
So far, everything is good. Except I can't seem to change my Desktop!
It won't change from this blue gradient.
... OK. Now it will change, but only after a reset. Not a huge deal, but not the way it should work. Any ideas?

Here's one I've not seen, which wasn't a problem for me before this kitchen. Sometimes when I go to answer the phone it answers with the speakerphone on, though I didn't put it there; sometimes it answers normally. Any thoughts?
