Helmi Official AKU 3.5 Kitchen 1.0.2 Bugs / Patches

[steele6599]

First Great Update...

I have noticed a few issues:

1. When I receive a test message the "From" box contains the first letter or word of the message rather than the phone number or contact name.

2. Frequently my storage card disappears and i have to soft reset to get it back.

3. The Blue Tooth Sterio Head Set "Motorola HT820" now has static when playing music and the buttons for skip forward or backwards doesnt work.

all in all the update has been and approvement but if any one has a solution to my problems I would be greatly appreciative.

Also, im using the sprint build...

Thanks,
Markus

You either didn't clear mem after the flash, or you let the sprint customizations run. Clear your mem and don't let the customizations run.

how do you clear mem after flash?

I also assume you want me to soft reset after initial flash before sprint tries and install custimization...

i tried searching the forum... nothing.

anyone got a clue on what i need to do? (hey that rhymes!)

thanks


BTW thanks all of you dev's for your hard work on these awesome roms!

if I remember correctly you have to take the two files from the windows\oem folder and copy them over the files in the windows folder

Did I do something wrong or am I just an idiot? Are other people having this same problem?

I’ve been playing with Wireless Sharing under this new ROM and when I try to install the PPC6700 drivers under windows xp no matter what I chose it wouldn’t allow inf file to load.

Out of frustration I decided to look under the Device Instance ID under the “Generic Serial (prototype remember to change idVendor)” that was showing up in Device Manager and noticed it changed to USB\VID_045E&PID_0079 when the .inf file floating around everywhere on the internet says USB\VID_0BB4&PID_00CF.

So I did a find replace on each entry in the inf file saved and tried again and BAM it worked.

I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue so I’m attaching the file to the message as well. I added some ; with the old and new lines that I added, there was only 3 changes finds of this string.

Admins, if this is bad or causes some unknown issues feel free to edit my message but I just wanted to attempt to give something back for all of your hard work on these ROM builds!

To clear memory - Hold down both softkeys and press the reset button - hold (about 1 second) until screen turns white and asks about clearing memory. Select Y on keyboard.

To prevent customizations - you could flash a blank ext_rom (then you'll never have to worry about this when using the kitchen again), or when the "customizing in 3 seconds" popup shows, push the reset button. Please note that some of the ready-made ROMs load their own ext_ROM image in addition to the normal CE ROM image, and you want customizations to run in those cases (read the ROM creator's installation instructions).

Thanks dprout69, but I know this used to work because this is the way I have done it since the old Pocket PC days. I was just wondering if there was a registry key that was missed.

Just wanted to bump this a bit... looks like it's getting lost in the bug thread and I wanted to make sure the mods and devs saw it since it may debunk what we thought was a fix...

I think there might be more to the problem than just this DLL in and of itself.

I use Alltel as well, and I have been running v1.0.2 since it was released. SMS works fine for me and I haven't seen any of the issues reported. I checked my registry and for the above key I have the "stock" setting (HTC_SMS_Providers.dll). Yet, it all works fine for me.

So, perhaps it is something else, or a combination of this DLL and one of the OEMs? I'm running a pretty basic ROM... I can get you a list of OEMs if it will help.

answerman, Thanks. Currently we are sticking with suggesting luv2chills patch to OEM_Helmi_Addition.

avatar120, it's not clear from your last message on this what your final outcome was. Did the OEM_Helmi_Addition patch fix your issue? Did the additional SMS_Providers.dll registry change do so? Did neither?

Everyone, if you have experienced concatenated SMS From and Message fields please chime in with the results of these patches. Again we currently advise trying luv2chills patch to OEM_Helmi_Addition first.
