Saridnours’ AKU 3.5+ Rom. Current 3/28 v3.5pr6

[msiegle]

Has anyone else had any performance issues with Internet Connection Sharing via Bluetooth? When I use Bluetooth usually the best DSLReports.com speed test I get run around 100-140kbps, yet when I run a speed test right afterwards via USB I get 400-600kbps. Even running a speed test directly from the phone itself yields 600kbps results. Any ideas or suggestions? I'm on pr6.

Funny thing is that the startup link for VC is created automatically whenever VC is first activated with button 5. So, just deleting VC from startup doesn't work as you suggest. Did you have something else in mind?

nuguy: No, I had to look up UPXed to see what you were talking about. I've not used that. But thanks anyway.

You could look throgh http://ppcgeeks.toreishi.org/P4DB/ch...0&ignore=GO%21 as only you could tell for sure. There are several updated files, and registry updates. Your rom rocks, stability and speed are excelent! It's just now that the UR is out, I was hoping you would add your majic to the mix. Colonel, and jbaby both have updated and yes they have made some changes to the steps they were doing, but it would be the most complete that way.

Regardless if you decide to or not, this has been the most reliable rom I have used, and I offer a huge thank you from many users for that!!

Odds are it may get me close to wwhere pr6 is now and could actulay casue issues and or slowdowns.
Other than the soft-lock issue, most everything else is known and has a work arounf as far as I am aware and comparable to other AKU 3.5's that are out..
Anyone feel free to start a compare list of any missing features or other things that may be an issue between pr6 and the 3.5 kitchen final.

This rom is awesome. Everything is working for me but the data network connection. I have no 1x or evdo. I remember reading something before on this and it was a com port issue? Anyone have this issue?

[saridnour]

jendand: Oh ok, sorry about that. I did not know it made it's own startup shortcut. Well the only other thing I say to try is packing it in your own rom. Just follow wideawakes post on building a rom (not the kitchen version). Its jsut a matter of unpacking the rom file (sort of like unzipping it) modifing the initfiles.dat and adding the exe to the extracted folder then repacking it. Really is an easy process.

nuguy: I will oribably do a diff of the reg and files between the released kitchen and my roms base and see if I can note the changes, but the reg can be a nightmare to comp and the file differences may show a difference but not what is "better". I really am a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, donlt fix it" so there may not be much change. Who knows, my differences could be what sets it apart

m.gantlett: It sounds like you are not setting up the providers data provisioning. Are you running the extended rom? What carrier are you on? There have been a number of posts with what carrier requires what data to be entered to get the data network provisioned. May want to do a quick search back through this thread or the main forum thread.

Same build your running now and did not see it, but I did not add vc into the memory nor map it and that could be the issue.. possibly. My private rom that I am normaly running has vc in the build and mapped from the get go.. but it does not soft;lock for the most part. Then again it could have something to do with the first boot and the arragement of the startup apps at a level I can not see.. just guessing here....

lkjfdsa: May be a dumb question, but are you on sprint? VZ uses different codes... just want to make sure as we have seen others fall into this

-saridnour

Yes, I'm on Sprint

[saridnour]

lkjfdsa: For sprint, load these from the extended rom (search the forum is you do not know how to access the extended rom, also a dbl click on the url of total commander will bring it up in the hotlist). The cabs to load are: cert_spcs.cab, customize_spcs.sa.cab, IOTA.sa.cab. These are all part of the last released offical print extended and all I run from the extended rom.

klurf8881: You need to do a bit of reading This has been covered an numer of times but is a common mistake (one I made as well). But the ROM image is the same size no matter what you add (as long as the files are flat in the windows dir, if they are copied out of that then it takes up storage memory). Taking out the apps you mentioned would still leave you with the same size rom. Only thing you would get is maybe a faster read of the windows dir. Basicly it bois down to if you don't want/use the apss ignore them and set them not to load. Then you would basicly have what you are requesting

saridnour,

I think I stumbled across an easy way to reduce the number of soft reset lockups. A few weeks ago, I'd installed Mortbuttons, never used it, but noticed it put itself second in order of startup: VC, Mortbuttons, wisbar, ... . During that time I got very few lockups. So, I decided to experiment with changing the order of startup. The default order (with just VC installed) is:

VC, wisbar, poutlook, cleartempexpress.

SKTools won't change the order for some reason. But I found that if I deleted all the startup links from windows/startup then manually replaced them in the order I wanted, that would change the startup order (as indicated in SKTools). Anyway, I changed the order to:

VC, poutlook, cleartemp, wisbar.

I tried this order because putting Mortbuttons between VC and wisbar had worked. I just now did 20 soft resets and not an single lockup. Before, with the original order, I was getting about 20 - 25% lockups. Anyway, it seems their frequency is much reduced.

jendand

Later Edit: More trials shows this work-around helps but is not perfect. I'm still getting somewhere between 5 - 10% lockups.

Guys my ppc 6700 is locking up and loading a partial activesync screen showing the last sync time. Anyone know why this is happening. I am using pr6. HELP!
