Re: Verizon - Living with the new Stock Rom [6-11-09]

OK,

The jury is in on battery life. It is as good as any ROM I tried now. I have been running with push email on all day and making several calls and such and had 30% @ 11 PM. Off the charger at 7:50 AM.

I will update this first post with links and procedures discovered to improve the use of the new stock ROM like getting tethering to work..

Read about it:
http://www.phonenews.com/verizon-tou...il-added-8089/

What the ROM Offers:
The GPS is now unlocked and available to other applications via an updated radio.
Quick GPS is also included.
Voice Command now works as it should, and it works great.
Visual Voice Mail is Cooked into the ROM
Support for the EVRC-B codec.

Where can we get it?:
http://pcdphones.com/phone_downloads...zon%20Wireless
I have a version available here that has the pagepool changed to 8 MB's:
http://files.getdropbox.com/u/109000...58002_Ship.zip


You do not need to re-lock your phone or return it to stock before flashing. You can actually use WinRAR to extract the contents of the .exe file to a folder. It will have all the same stuff in it that you would see when flashing a custom ROM. You can use the PagePool changer program to then up the PagePool from 6 to 8 MB's for snappier performance. I have this already available above..


Stock Vs. Mighty ROM
I used SKTools to benchmark the new stock ROM and compared it to Mighty ROM.
See that here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...BCPRdmLvbqGUiw
The only real performance hit seems to be in reading the SD Card. (Must be a tweak for that)



Problem #1 - Tethering
[SOLVED] More testing is needed, but the solution found here: http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-o...verizon-omnia/ for the Omnia appears to work. Please note that WMWifiRouter is only needed to share via your wireless card. All you need to install is the ICS cab. You can download that from me here complements of DropBox: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/109000...ICSInstall.CAB


Problem #2 - Battery Life
After running this ROM for a while now, I have consistently gotten great results with battery life. Seems as good as any ROM I have run. I am going to leave the info below in case anyone is not seeing the same results I am seeing. But I am getting 7:50 AM to 11 PM @ 20-30% remaining with significant use.
(There are two possible ways to improve the battery. I found a thread about battery hacks here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41770 Also, changing to another radio could help.)

Problem #3 - Custom task bar
Solution Pending I tried one of the TSOWEN installs and totally screwed my phone. I would suggest trying the one-by-one icon replacement method for now.

Problem #4 - SD Card Read Performance

Solution Pending

Problem #5 - Low Volume
[SOLVED] I used the louder .cab in Touch Pro Audio Fix.zip from this post: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...20&postcount=1
Got this deaf ear a hearing again.... Thanks to that OP...

Want to add to the list, then please join the discussion.
I am also working on the new stock ROM. I like having GPS, but I do not have the tethering any more. I did download and install the ICS cab, but it is not connecting. Not sure if I need to change my settings or what. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Verizon - Living with the new Stock Rom [6-11-09]

It seems that VZ Navigator 4.1.5 does not work with the new ROM.

I was on the phone with Technical Support for 45 minutes and all the settings were correct, however the application still would not initiate.

Getting an error message: "There was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart"

I've uninstalled, soft reset and reinstalled, but to no avail.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Please help!

All the Best!

Re: Verizon - Living with the new Stock Rom [6-11-09]

Just got off the phone with Verizon Advanced Tech, and they stated that there were a few tickets in queue pertaining to the VZ Navigator problem after flashing to the new ROM.

Will post if and/or when the issue is resolved.

You must have active-sync installed. You plug in the phone via usb. Once it is detected, you start the program IntShrUI and hit connect.

Assuming the GPS is not working with any program,

The problem is with their post-flash execution. For some reason, the unlocker program does not always run. To run it manually, go to the windows folder and run \windows\ppst.exe . Reset the device and dial *228 and hit one as soon as the computer answers. reboot...

GPS is working with Google Maps.

However, I uninstalled it because I assumed that it may be conflicting with
VZ Navigator.

Should I still run ppst.exe?

Thanks for your help.
