just got the first beta installed, waiting for the second to download. does beta 2 have the camera app? if not, where can i find it? one of the reasons i wanted this phone was for the camera, and now i don't have it :(

colonel 01-31-2007 02:33 PM

Blue bar on top is the batti app. It is a battery meter similar to the one found with SPB Pocket Plus. You can adjust the settings by going to Batti Config in the programs menu.

Flashlight can be changed by doing this:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
change the value for Default to the word you want shown
change the value for Open to the path and exe name

So, for Calendar
Default=Calendar
Open=calendar.exe

If you want an app that is not in the \Windows folder you will have to show the path
Open=\Program Files\"app folder"\app.exe

As far as active syncing, not sure what you are asking. I assume you are on a different computer from the one you normally sync with correct? You can copy your pim.vol to the storage card before upgrade and then copy it back.

What do you mean? It is always there for me. Are you pressing and holding the side button? I will put a link to it in the programs menu in the next release.

Do you have any anticipated release date?

I am not planning on adding too much more to this Rom. So, basically it is about fixing the few things that are messed up. Right now I have fixed the Smart Dialer reg entry and the Camera link. Basically I just want to refine the theme that boots up and get it all to match. Then I will be done. :D :D :D

Right. Just curious about the anticipated date though?

Also my camera has always worked fine as it did out of the box. Never had any issues.

badwolf 01-31-2007 02:53 PM

sweet thanks for the fast response. Yes pim.vol, that holds the phone book, great. now i dont need to active sync to restore. Thanks again.

Oh, I still need to add the cab for the mms?

Just put that in your Ext. Rom to load when you hard reset. :)

murpm3 01-31-2007 03:08 PM

Colonel,

Any chance that there may be a fix for issues with iGuidance? I really love the new Beta 2 and the only thing stopping me from going back to the Sprint 2x rom is the issues with iGuidance.

colonel 01-31-2007 03:16 PM

Unfortunately I do not run iGuidance on my 6700. I still have the old version running on my 6600. If I can get to it, I know I can get a copy of the app. I just need to find the maps.

Are you having the lockup issues when going to full screen like other people or something different?

badwolf 01-31-2007 03:21 PM

one last thing for right now. I am tryingto get button 5 to hold voice speed dial but it wont show up in the application box? what to do? or should I really be using voice comamand?

Alwaysbelieve1 01-31-2007 03:30 PM

I'm still losing my MiniSD.

tbhausen 01-31-2007 03:38 PM

Just lost miniSD myself--should we do any post-installation file removal like cited in other threads? I notice an itsutils log in the root of the device; wasn't that one of the dll's we were sopposed to remove?

Todd/Indy

colonel 01-31-2007 03:39 PM

Voice Dialer was removed from this rom, sorry. I highly suggest getting Voice Command. It is sooooo much better and you can have it read you emails, texts and announce incoming calls (with IDTransfer) through your head set.

colonel 01-31-2007 03:43 PM

Yes, I packaged the wrong Sprint ExtRom so you will have to delete the SDMemory.dll from the stock File Explorer when "Show all files" is selected.

badwolf 01-31-2007 03:49 PM

ok ill try voice command. i did dl v spped dialer and cant get the button to assign,... yikes.. how do i uninstall it since its not in the list...

colonel 01-31-2007 04:00 PM

Did it install correctly? It is not showing anywhere?

tbhausen 01-31-2007 04:04 PM

miniSD seems OK now--thanks

yep, just had tp press and hold the side button. i was used to using the link in the program menu. this has probably been answered, but all sms and mms fixes have been applied in your rom, right?

I'm still on 2.2, but yes, that's the file to delete. I lost my SD card many-a-time due to saving attachments on my SD card. Now that I've deleted that file, I haven't lost my card yet (going on about 2 weeks).

I use iGuidance 3.01 with no problem on both beta1 and beta2 what problem are you seeing?

BT seem to work much better with beta2 I can be on both GPS and phone without BT turning itself off.

Startup is a tad slow hope to see beta3 soon.

I'm on XV6700 with beta2

colonel 01-31-2007 04:15 PM

Nothing was done as far as SMS and MMS. What SMS issues are you refering to? As far as MMS, I have not really done any work with this and I rarely use it.

badwolf 01-31-2007 04:38 PM

vsp is installed as xda-dev etc, so i can remove it, but i now have to say full names for vc? i assigned nicknames for the 5 people i really called before?

naigaboy 01-31-2007 04:40 PM

Hey colonel just in case you want a dialskin with smart dial that works with 3.3. I already have this one customised. will not freeze the pic & vid application and already removed the registry key that prevents text messages and phone options from working. Anybody else interested can try it. landscape and portrait. Just install cab and reboot. if u dont like uninstall in remove programs. that easy.
BTW its ETEN w/ Dr Schultz, cant remember which exact one though.

i thought i read somewhere that sms had problems, i could be wrong. i will find the mms fix myself since i may use it once i get my 6700 transferred to my normal number.

The problem we are having with Iguidance is when it is in full screen, if u touch the screen or try to make any adjustments, it crashes. Try that on yours cos so far you the only person that hasnt had any probs. I never had a prob w/ BT turning itself of any 3.3's.

mujurip 01-31-2007 05:02 PM

I was wondering what Onlock is for? whats the purpose of it?
Also, in order to install the beta 3.3 rom, do i just go in the bootloader and overwrite from the 3.3? currnetly i'm on colones 3.3.

http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6...ghlight=OnLock

Quote:

I (JKingGrim) wrote another screenlock program that invokes the builtin today screen lock plugin. It does not require you to have the plugin enabled. I have been using the DeviceLock program by a member here. I decided to write my own because I did not like the way it worked. It worked, like others, by using the notification manager to respond to a wakeup notification. I find the notification manager to be unreliable however. Sometimes it will lock quickly, while sometimes it takes a few seconds, sometimes it would lock then, as soon as I disabled it, lock again. Sometimes it didnt lock at all. The app that I have written is a 4kb executable that is always running in the background and locks when it recieves the device suspend message. Works reliably and quickly every time. It also has a preference panel app that runs in .NET CF2. The app has an option to put a shortcut to the lock program in the startup folder. It will also provide a means to manually launch and terminate the lock program. It is NOT a finished product however. It currently does not detect whether or not the lock is already running and cannot terminate OnLock.exe. Becareful not to initiate multiple instances of OnLock.exe. It will not cause problems, but it is a waste of resources (not that it is at all heavy on resources). The easiest way currently to see if OnLock.exe is already running is to turn the device off then on and see if it locks. In the future, I also want OnLock to shut the screen off and lock when you press and hold the power button, for use when you are listening to mp3s ect. Also, OnLock.exe currently gives an alert when it starts. This will be removed or optional in the future.

Onlock does the same thing device lock does only difference is it is automated. as soon as ur device out of sleep mode it locks the phone, preventing an accidental touch or push of any button. eg: no more accidental call backs from ur phone while in holster

I will check it out when I get home. Since you have done this customization, do you by chance have the time and abilities to create one that matches what is in the beta2. I also need help figuring out colors so I can change the today screen top and bottom bars.

on my phone, it seems to think it is supposed to lock it up :(

Has anyone ever been able to run streaming videos from googlevideos or youtube? I've tried installing flash for mobile player but failed. Maybe requires .net CF2.0?

Its only when going to Full Screen or vice versa. The program crashes and disappears.

I can give you some copies of maps for testing purposes if you would like.

Thanks for the reply.

It is VJCandelaLite from over at xda-developers. Just a little app that turns the flash on.

LOL. Creating one is too far fetched for me right now I can edit an existing one. I wont be home for a while. if someone can tell me which one is being used I can maybe find it and work on it later tonite. Also somebody post a screen shot so i can try to match the theme for beta 2. The one i put on there is the o2 theme. I feel like it will work with black, blue and maybe green themes. somebody try it on beta2 and give your opinions. I use all my night time for playing with my phone so yes I have the time and ability to try.

ga1dawg 01-31-2007 07:52 PM

Nice job colonel!
My install went really smooth. I have one question...
How come my MSL will not work in the phone app now. It tries to dial the ## number.
The MSL number will still work when entered in the ##775 screen.

So does that have anything to do w/ not being able to play videos on youtube or googlevideos?

colonel: whats the purpose of the batticonfig? just a monitoring software or it actally does something?

colonel 01-31-2007 09:06 PM

2 Attachment(s)
Batti config changes the battery status bar at the top of the screen.

I have no idea about the MSL thing. Someone else asked the question earlier. You might want to read back and see what they did.

Naigaboy, I can post some screen shots. Or you could just install these and see for yourself :wink:
