TripYzee can't be reconfigured

Originally Posted by luv2chill

A free Yahtzee Game. In order to get the dice to skin properly I had to build in a config file (called opt). However, because this file is now baked in (and therefore read-only), if you try to make any changes from the app itself it will barf. Fortunately there's really not much to change. If you want to change the player names, etc.

This should be addressed by renaming the file and creating original file via initflashfiles.txt which will make a writable copy. A similar action is done for SPB Pocket Plus's config.

The initflashfiles.txt addition below, along with renaming the opt file resolves this.

Directory("\Windows\"):-File("opt", "\Windows\opt-rom")

Patch now available.

Time resets on soft reset / SD card inaccessible

Jager is having the same problem as well as he mentioned it may have something to do with the HTC home 6 tab plugin OEM (didn't have issue with the cab install and copying the 4 files on 1.0.2 rom.) I am able to sync the time back up through the network, but have to do it manually everytime I reboot the device.

@ nemanracing - What kind of SD card? I've tried 2-3 over the course of building ROMs from this kitchen and had no issues reading any of them. Please try another card (or pop it in a card reader on your PC and format it) and see if your issues are resolved with that.

Again they worked before and still work in my 2nd 6700... Not a big deal, I used the nk.fat from the 1.0.2 and this seems to have fixed the time sync and sd issues for now.

Using the "\ROM\nk.fat" from 1.0.2 should help with this.

Weatherpanel DSM not updated

In the mean time, one can rebuild the DSM oneself using the "BuildDsm.exe" tool.

WMP plugin and HTC home 6tab can't be used at once

Do not select both these options at once to avoid build error.

ArcSoft MMS interferes with programs launched by the HTC Home Today Item

Interestingly enough, the buttons work as they should with ArcSoft MMS removed. I'm not sure why that is unless the HTC Home application is coded to use the first message source listed alphabetically (i.e. MMS comes before Outlook)?

SPB Weather temperature display

Then back on the spb weather tab in spb shell, the temperatures disappear. When I reset the phone, they appear again. Does anyone know what can be causing this?

NB Image Converter doesn't convert NB->BMP

Originally Posted by namopereht

I can confirm this problem. Tried from the 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 kitchens. Every saved .bmp is the ImageConverter logo, and not the converted .nb like it should be.

So, when I go to reply, it would read:

ugh.. I dont want to be the first person to point out an issue... everything else seems to be perfect.

The only issue I am having is when I restart my device, it resets the date and time to February of '06 and the time to midnight. Jager is having the same problem as well as he mentioned it may have something to do with the HTC home 6 tab plugin OEM (didn't have issue with the cab install and copying the 4 files on 1.0.2 rom.) I am able to sync the time back up through the network, but have to do it manually everytime I reboot the device.

I have the same issue. I did not select any of the HTC plugins, so it must be something else. I tried rebuilding with my custom OEMs removed, but no joy. It sounds like it's something other than mine anyway.

This is kind of a show-stopper for me. I had to revert back to 1.0.2 for now...

I could just be goofy, but it seems to me the dsm was not rebuilt in weatherpanel after the wp-pilot stuff was thrown in. Am i wrong in thinking this needs to be done? First issue so far, but just about to flash.

By the way, I'm on Verizon, so I selected the Verizon ExtROM. I noticed there was a change to the proxvml for time sync in the ExtROMs in the change log. I wonder if that may have something to do with it...(?)

[nemanracing]

Ditto on the time sync issue. Didn't work at all with HTC Home OEM built in, and with it left out. Also this is the first time in a long time my SD card will not read. Not issue with card works fine in my other 6700 thats still on 1.0.2. Also i know ROM number seem meaningless now but is it just me or did this go back to the 2.60.10WWE core?

[luv2chill]

OK guys I'm not sure what's with this time issue. I just noticed it myself, however, my time immediately syncs to Sprint after booting so it's one of those "blink and you miss it" things. At this point I have no idea what's causing it but will look into it. My first suspicion is the core. I will try reverting that and see what happens.

@ nemanracing - What kind of SD card? I've tried 2-3 over the course of building ROMs from this kitchen and had no issues reading any of them. Please try another card (or pop it in a card reader on your PC and format it) and see if your issues are resolved with that.

For whatever reason, mine does not sync automatically for some time. Maybe it's a Verizon thing...

If it helps, I just tried flashing with the Verizon ExtROM from 1.0.2 and a minimum package of OEMS... same problem.

[nemanracing]

But the same sd card works just fine in my 2nd 6700 with the 1.0.2? So it is not an issue with the card... It's a Adata 2GB, I also have a 2GB Sandisk that does the same. Again they worked before and still work in my 2nd 6700... Not a big deal, I used the nk.fat from the 1.0.2 and this seems to have fixed the time sync and sd issues for now.

[luv2chill]

Heh, I promise I would not have reverted that core if Helmi didn't tell me to . 1.0.4 will be up soon. Anyone with 1.0.3 please find more bugs so that I don't have to do a 1.0.5 anytime soon--I'm really starting to burn out here.
