go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
and remove "TBOpt" and soft reset

Pocket IE crashes on large websites with a pure No2Chem rom and no updates. Could be a Cache issue or an inability to read/write from a cache that is not where it is supposed to be.

don't dump with rommaster (manually extract the rom)
to do this, first nbsplit, then on payload...
run imgfsfromnb. write down the imgfs start location.
open os.nb.payload with hex editor. go to the imgfs start location, and delete to end. go to the beginning of the file, and search for FE 03 00 EA (unconditional branch to 00 03 FE), and find the second / last occurance. (this is the second xip).
delete everything from the beginning to just before the second branch.
save this as your xip.bin

open xipport. press dump xip.bin. move stuff around, checking the maps between the donor xip and your xip. when you're done, press realloc p, and write maps. if any area shows !!!, fix it. (usually, modify realaddress[r] in imageinfo.txt, where r is the xipregion).

technically, you might need to check the nk.exe pointer in S000 of nk.exe, but i think realloc p fixes that (maybe). if you're worried, from the old map of the xip (not from the donor, but your device), search for the rom_00 header, look at where it starts, check if it matches with the new map If it doesn't you'll have to do this: if the old start address is 8ABCDEF9, search S000 of nk.exe for F9 DE BC 8A (just an example), because of the endianess of arm. replace with new start address, be sure to reverse it as well.

once you're done, write xipout.bin, and write it to os.nb.payload at the right xip2 address (for the titan, its 3200000) (sleepy and not sure if i put the right amount of zeros, but the default is 3100000, so change the 1 to a 2.)

hopefully everything boots up after this. I've used this technique to change everything except nk.exe... which is device dependent, so you'll have to do other stuff...

http://www.airscanner.com/pubs/fogieDC11.pdf is a good reference for arm assembly opcodes

If something goes wrong, will it cause your device to not boot to the splash screens?

Does anyone here know how to adjust the mic volume?? I've tried looking for the mic icon on the windows folder but its not there.. I used to have it before I flashed my 6800 with this rom.. Any reg hacks out there i can try??

Well... The Pocket IE problems continue. I used Tweaks 2k2 to disable Cache on Pocket IE but no improvement. When I try and open a website the device crashes with out of memory errors. It is worse than with the Picsel Memory issues (no longer a prob with No2chems rom) as it does not allow you to close the application and a soft rest is needed to get access to the device. Any other suggestions ? I am almost at the point where I think I may need to learn how to use the unofficial rom kitchen to make a Rom with all the software I keep installing.

no2chem, where are you???? Haven't heard from you since before THanksgiving! I hope you haven't abandoned your ROM and the rest of us, who are using your ROM.

Hello, I experienced the same problem and I change this in the regstry (it seems to be working for me):


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"MaxRequestThreads"=dword:00000030
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000030

I tried the edits and soft reset. To no avail. I continue to crash on any website visited. Seems to be a memory problem. Going to have to stick with Picsel, Opera Mini and Thunderhawk for now. I did like the rendering speed of the new PIE. No2chem where art thou ???

Perhaps he took a few days off for the holiday. I know I did. Didn't even take a laptop. It was grand.

If you need to you can try another ROM until he has a chance to work on this one.

Remember, these guys have lives outside of ROM development.

With a new official ROM supposedly just days away, the best course of action may be to flash back to whichever ROM works best for you and wait. That's what I'm doing.
