BigJ's Revision 9.6 (Mario!) ROM updated: 4/24/07

[mrgoldst]

Is there a way to make the external ROM invisible the way it was before I did the upgrade? When I try to save outlook attachments to my SD, the device only recognizes the external ROM under outlook, not the SD card (SD card is seen under PIE, file explorer, etc and is functioning well). What would you suggest I do with the external ROM?
Thank you Again,

Can we get the hack / fix to convert the Contacts name 'File As' to 'First Last' format from Menu ?

Well, as long as you are taking requests/feedback,


- The dialer mention above the post in this link might be worth checking out:
http://www.ppcgeeks.com/viewtopic,p,35502.html#35502

- Heard from a little birdie that the BT PAN was solved. Looking forward to seeing this in the next release here.

- Would like to see the voice recording, video recording, and picture taking options set to a default of "Save To Storage Card".
I mean really, who knows how many people are maxing up the main memory space and then having weird issues and thinking its the ROM because they haven't installed anything else.
I think it is safe to say we all have storage cards, and most store these types of files on them.

sure, just change the reg entries that show it. Theres a thread somewhere that has the entries listed. Theres two of em. Its also listed a page or two back in this thread on how to hide it, look for the guy who was having issues with yahooGO, he listed the entries to hide it.

I have every contact in my phone listed as last name so they show up alphabetically already so it would be REALLY counter-productive for me to do something like that.

it is controlled by ONE reg entry though, so go ahead and make the change and soft-reset the phone to enable sorting by first name.

and thanks 6700Yuma for hitting that question again, i was gonna cut my spleen out when i read that and my answer would have been less than proffesional

ill take a look at the dialer and throw it on our stores demo. if it kills the load times though, im gonna have to nix it.

i was under the impression that the BTPAN was for widcomm stack or BT stereo headsets. Either way, it appears that it will be built into the new kitchen release, so for stabilities sake, im going to hold off integrating that one myself but rest assured ill update with the new kitchen.

Saving to the storage card by default is actually a GREAT idea. Do you happen to know where the registry location for that is stored? Ill have to integrate that and test a bit, if it seems stable, ill integrate that no problem... if you dont have a memory card.... uh..... ya..... no comment.... haha

Lemme update my to-do list, and ill checkout that dialer (voice command works good to dial to..... hehehe)

[Raging Idiot]

Yeah, the dialer lacks the pizzaz of the Mario theme, I only like it because of the bigger buttons. You're right about the voice command, I've been so accustomed to just hitting the buttons I forget I now have VC (as of 2 weeks ago) that I can use instead....well I suppose VC doesn't work with "MUTE" and......Look at that sh!t my phone locked up again on startup. SOB I humbly remove suggestion. Now I've got to find a way to restore the dialer back without another ROM flash.

....wait..not so fast... This is what I just discovered:

It has now booted up just fine 3 times consecutively (while not USB attached to PC)

But would not boot the 4 times tested (while USB attached to PC)

As this is an easy test, I would recommend it for troubleshooting purposes.
I have a few extra programs on my phone, so it is quite possibly only specific to my setup. I have tried with active sync both on and off. It freezes before the "All systems functional message".



As for finding the registry entries to default the various functions to "Save To Storage Card"....well I couldn't find them. I thought I did, but apparently they weren't functional. All I can think is go into the app and set it one way, export the registry, then go back and set it a different way, export the registry again and diff them. Or someone else may likely already have the answer.

If you want, heres two more to possibly put in your rom.
The WM5NewMenuVer2, and the Task Manager Ver2.7 used in Colonel Rom that has losta features and another Reg editor.

[dzuchowski]

What about adding in the microsoft daylight savings time patch into the next build. I rerun the sprint rom and your rom every single day after my phone locks up, i will be in a call and cant hang up have to soft reset the phone to hangup. This happens with the Sprint latest rom and your rom also. When I flash the phone with the sprint rom and bring it in, they cant duplicate the issue, even if i take it to them when its locked up and show them you cant do anything, they say its working fine because they cant duplicate the issue themselves, and they had to escort me out of the store, becuase i pointed out to the counter person that the phone would not turn on, she tried to turn it on, and could not and i told her not to take out the battery. shen then took it to the tech who also has a 6700 and she showed him it would not turn on... so she then went upfront to the counter and removed the battery and scaned the phone in for repair. Ofcourse an hour or so later the store manager says that it turned on as soon as he got it. I replied that it had not since the counter person showed him it would not turn on, she says that does not count since they have to reproduce the issue themselves, and that i am being insulting and yelling. I did not yell i just changed the tone of my voice. Sprint will not give me my money back for the phone. They will only let me out of my contract. However i also want my money back.

wow,,, well 2 things, my ROM doesnt appear to need the DST fix because all my co-workers, my girlfriend, my phone and the store demo i flashed all updated fine.

2nd issue.... OMFG that is "classic" sprint customer service. Welcome to my hell. they shouldnt have done that but it doesnt surprise me in the least... after that, you should be able to call customer service, and make them mail you a recon, but i have no idea what type of notes they put on your account. I know its kinda sh*tty but you always have the option of calling lockline, eat the 50$ and argue for a credit on the account.

if it gets really bad, ask for the retention department and explain what happened at the store, make sure you know the store # when you call, you can get it off the webpage

wm5newmenu huh?
-ill take a looksee

Heres some in depth file caching reg keys, as requested earlier

Disable menu animations

To disable menu animations (sliding in/out) and speed up performance of the UI a bit:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\AniType = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\AniType = 6 (DWORD decimal)

Disable window animations

To disable window animations (minimizing/maximizing) and speed up performance of the UI a bit:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to switch them back on:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Increase font cache

To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like


Enable FileSystem cache

To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size


Increase FileSystem cache

To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like


Increase FileSystem filter cache

To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)


To return the file system filter cache to zero:

HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
