=#1= Bluetooth Bugs:

There have been a variety of BT bug reports in past releases, for instance...

Same problem with R3... Even with the Broadcom Stack, my A2DP works flawless now... BUT, my headset does not. The headset works as headphones... but when calling someone, it doesn't work. Its a Moto 350.... Can someone help? I can't get a ticket for using my handset.

...are these bugs still around in R4? Please post if you are experiencing BT bugs.

When it pairs, a headphone icon pops up on the taskbar and when sounds or whatever is going through the hands free device it shows it on that icon.

BTW I am using the Broadcom Stack. I haven't tried it without that stack, so I dont know if it works with the MS Stack. But I have to have perfect A2DP Streaming. And I have to be able to use my handsfree device.

LOL, you "have to have perfect A2DP streaming?" Sorry bud, at this point you gotta pick your poison.

It picks up the IP address just fine without BT on, but once BT is enabled, it gives the PC an Autoprivate address with no access to the web. Anybody working on that? Its been this way since the initial release.

=#2= OEM\Optional_Tweaker:

Selecting Save results in...
"An unexpected error has occurred in HTCustom.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information."
...tweaks seem to take effect, but the error makes me cautious.

=#3= Today Screen refresh:

=#4= OEM\Optional_Smartskey:

I think this may be purposeful, to allow an easy way of editing the Smartkey configuration.

=#5= Internet Explorer's in Settings\Menus:

Originally Posted by johnny2678

=#6= OEM\Optional_Dialer_reTOUCHed:

The following files are missing from the package...

clg_in.gif
clg_miss.gif
clg_out.gif

...this causes the icons to be missing in the dialers calls list.

=#7= OEM\Optional_OneNoteMobile=12.0.4518.1010:

---

After some digging, I found the problem. The OEM for One Note (full install) is missing some registry entries that does not allow WMDC to see it. I installed the .cab from OneNote, and it is seen. Maybe the One Note only install works right but the full install with the other office apps does not work for Synching.

=#8= Album Art in WMP:

If so, how do we correct this? Are there other skins out there that would fix this? Thanks so much for your responses!

=#9= Needless initfile.txt entries:

=#10= Broken Time Synchronization:
Time synchronization isn't working for me currently using the Verizon carrier OEMs.

This has been reportedly fixed by using the Radio ROM from the new 3.3 package.
official 3.3 rom release from utstarcom?

=== Addressed Issues ===

These fixes may or may not apply, or be applied in the next kitchen.

=#1= Too many BuildOS items defaulted:

Both the...
-CaptianJager and HTC Touch themes
-HTC Smart Dial and reTouched Dialer
...are selected by default. This cause the build process to fail. To address this ensure only one of each of these is selected.

=#2= Build Problem:

The encoder tool remembers wherever it last loaded a file from, so if you have multiple kitchens you need to be sure you are selecting from the appropriate folder as later paths get based on the .prj location.

If you watch in the CreateROM.bat you'll see...
"Be sure you are selecting the .prj file from the appropriate "\Tools" directory."
...which is an obscure warning about this.

See the CreateROM patch below to...
-Get better formated, more explicit instructions
-Avoid the Encoder overwrite file warning
-Eliminate the final pause

=#3= OEM\HTC_Audio_Manager:

The "HTC Audio Manager" option has a dependency on the "Windows Media" package. Be sure both are selected if you would like the HTC Audio Manager.

=#4= OEM\Optional_TrayLaunch:

Blank, non-functional icons appear in the task area if any of the following OEM packages aren't installed at the same time...
-Optional_TaskMgr&RegEditor
-Optional_Total Commander
-Optional_acbToggleBT
-Optional_psShutXP

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PHM\TrayLaunch]
"Items"=dword:3
"Item1"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Search.lnk"
"Item2"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Tasks.lnk"

dont forget to leave a blank space after the last line.

---

I recall there being a limit to the number of items one could include. Is that still true? If not, or the limit is far off, could we work out sub-installs for each of the icons?

=#5= OEM\Optional_Verizon_Settings:

Today items that connect to the internet at startup (such as Weatherpanel) will causes the phone to connect to the data network on first boot, and until the data network is disabled This can be addressed by updating OEM\Optional_Verizon_Settings to disable the data network.

Optional_Verizon_Settings:

Edit "mxipcold_oemoperators_100.provxml"...

<characteristic type="Data Network Connect">
	<parm name="DestId" value="{08464ADC-C65D-4c63-86D2-6FCA0F1388BD}" />
	<parm name="Enabled" value="0" />

=#5= OEM\Optional_OneNoteMobile=12.0.4518.1010:

"OneNoteMobile" is dependent on the "Office" option. To resolve this select the "OneNoteMobile Only" package.

=#6= VoiceCommand:

Both Voice Command packages require "voicecmd.exe" to be functional. Without that they cause an error on startup.

To correct for this:
-Deselect "Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 UK Version (Choose Either US or UK Version) **Requires VoiceCmd.exe"
-Select "Cyberon Voice Commander"

...or...

-Add your the appropriate "VoiceCmd.exe" file to
OEM\Optional_Voice_Command_1.6_US_OEM1.0.0
...or...
OEM\Optional_Voice Command 1.6 UK OEM1.0.1
-Rebuild dsm

I created extra OEM packages to copy VoiceCmd.exe over, that I just drag between releases. Since VoiceCmd.exe can't be included in the Kitchen package, perhaps the free "Optional_Cyberon_Voice_Commander" should be the default.

=#7= Java Default Font Sizes:

Originally Posted by hpnasik

and so many jar file run but the Size Gets Burst out.

---

Keep the Font as...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tao\intent\conf\sys\ui \midp\vnd\font]
"alttextfont"="monotype.com,14"
"labelfont"="andale,14,bold"
"size"="14"
"stringfont"="andale,14"

So every jar file will run Perfectly

=#8= OEM\Optional_Flashlight:

Originally Posted by hpnasik

If Created this will become usefull for users to Activate it from Programs so i anybody want to use the Associate Key with Different Program this is must

means the InitFlash.ini should Contains the Following Lines

Directory("\Windows\AppButtons"):-File("VJCandelaLite.lnk","\Windows\VJCandelaLite.l nk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("VJ Candela Lite.lnk","\Windows\VJCandelaLite.lnk")


So if Program Associate with Keys or not the Shourtcust must be created

=#9= OEM\Optional_cLaunch:

Originally Posted by hpnasik

The cLaunch Program use ICON size as 18

but this Effectively Break the ICONs (Icons Look more Crude)

Rather ICON should be Kept to 32 and All Tab SHould be Visible in Bottom

The patch for this can be found on page 5 of this thread.

I believe Colonel is off for the weekend, so no releases are likely for a bit.

[takmsdsm]

bug 1: same problem i had in JBabeys rom. My today plugins are not refreshing to my choices, and require a soft reset to fix.

bug 2: "Tweaker" errors out anytime you hit save

bug 3: Smartkey.ini listed in programs

[johnny2678]

Anyone try the reTOUCHed Dialer?... it says smartdial included so I unchecked the HTC smart dial box... but no smart dialer comes up. I will try and reflash w/ smart dialer enabled and see what happens.

edit: NOPE, checking smart dialer produces a buildOS.exe error 'DPadMenu.dll aready exists'...

[Rally1]

Even though I chose "notifyme" in the kitchen (BuildOS is still open and i see it checked), it doesn't seem to have installed. Not a bug unless someone else confirms it.

Edit: It's in /Windows just doesn't show in programs or settings. Problem solved. I guess that's what "disabled notifyme" means as listed in changes.

[johnny2678]

I'm getting two internet explorer links when i go to settings->menus. Can anyone else confirm? Also, one of them has to remained checked now. This is new (and unwanted).

[johnny2678]

Sorry guys, not sure what the deal was, but when I reflashed with the reTOUCHed dialer, Smart Dial works now... cancel this bug
