maybe changing the icon maybe... never tried tracking that down. i've got used to it...can just ask MSVoiceCommand what the signal strength is.

liking the new rom colonel! got a few new goodies, plus I had just started using PrimeContact...nice.

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Sorry, been very busy working on new BuildOS and other stuff (Titan and Apache kitchens).

I am working on a way for people to get the icons back if they want them. For the signal meter, it is just a color representation of the signal strength. Instead of bars it goes from White (no signal), Red (low signal) -> orange -> Yellow -> Green (Full Signal).

Hey folks! I updated to 3.16, then flashed the Feb. 28th ROM and now my phone soft resets itself over and over when not plugged in to the PC. Am I doing it wrong?

Hey love the new Rom, i have a bug thu i clicked contacts in the organizer soft key and
it stoped primecontact from working. if i scroll from bottom to top it goes back to today screen, bottom to top it locks on a black screen till i scroll left to right, then it goes back to today screen. i have slide to unlock out of my strartup folder, tried excluding it in the ftouchflo.txt file. tried taking ftouchflo out of my startup folder. I also tried getting a new version of prime it has the same characteristics.

Prime Contact
 
ya i was thinking i was having some minor issues with the way PrimeContact was working...just compared to the version I used before- v0_6b i think it was. still trying to figure that part out.

but looking in the registry, the path for the Contacts in the Action Screen is still set to PocketCM from what i see. so that would explain that part of it. if you wanted to change that, see the following Key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScr een\APP_6

then change the Path to \windows\PrimeContact.exe

worked for me.

colonel 02-29-2008 11:37 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
yeah, my bad

I am trying to just link that button to :MSCONTACTS for the kitchen OEM so it won't be an issue regardless of which contacts app you choose

bayeb 03-01-2008 12:45 AM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Even after a hardrest and the first thing i do is goto contacts as soon as i slide it goes black.
this is the second hardrest with the same results. worked fine yesterday after some personelizing and tweaking. im at a loss

colonel 03-01-2008 12:51 AM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
wow, I have never had this erro until you brought it up. Now I am seeing it too. So, I blame you bayeb. Fix it :D

Let me look. I will get it fixed soon.

justpctech 03-01-2008 01:31 AM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
well shoot....guess i'm not doing it right or something then. havent noticed it yet myself, but havent done much with PrimeContact either. problem i was having was more manuevering around once I got into a contact...had a hard time getting back out of it sometimes.

[edit= damn, that does work exactly that way too dont it? guess i was sliding different or something, but tried it and did the same for me, went black and closed]

well hell...went and hexed myself now. cant keep it open for nothing. man that is weird.

nFKT 03-01-2008 05:12 AM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
prime contacts just simply crashes after the load screen for me

colonel 03-01-2008 10:12 AM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
I am guessing that it is a timebomb in the app. There is a new version here: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=62863

As soon as I learn Russian I will get this fixed. In the meantime, you can copy the QVGA zip file contents from that link to \Program Files. From there, change this:

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
  "1"="\"\\Program Files\\PrimeContact.exe\""

I havent tested this, but it should work

justpctech 03-01-2008 02:11 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
ok, tried that "exactly" as you had it for the registry- extra quotes and all...and when launching from Contacts softkey- it gives the error:
The file ':MSCONTACTS' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted blah blah blah....
[edit- damnit...need coffee...didnt have the registry 'exactly' like that after all...changing now]

if opened from the Organizer softkey, it opens PrimeContact with English language, but then will crash on scrolling again.

if opening the PrimeContact.exe directly from Program files- it will open, seems to work ok- uses one of the skins in the skin directory, scrolls good, but...its all in Russian then. trying to figure out how to change the language now.

I'll see if I can figure out what's causing it. You sure it's not the Touchflo app causing the crash when scrolling? Has anyone tried turning off Touchflo and see if it still does it?

this does work too, PrimeContact opens from all softkeys and Action Screen once i changed that path to the right one. so its just the language thats the problem now.

colonel 03-01-2008 02:59 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Well, I brushed up on my Russain (read: thanks Google translate) and it appears that the app is going commercial. If you haven't noticed, the new version does everything but actually dial. So, I am fairly certain that the old version just expired. Not sure if someone can remove the expiration date or not. Otherwise, we will have to see what happens when the commercial version is completely available or look for a similar app.

justpctech 03-01-2008 03:05 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
rats! was just getting ready to try translating some of that website. hadnt actually even tried dialing yet, tried overwriting the cfg file with the one from /windows...but that just hosed it up. was just starting to like that program too...guess i'll go back to pocketcm for now, but think i would pay for PrimeContact when they get an english version maybe, liked the look of it.

colonel 03-01-2008 03:39 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
I agree. It functions well as a contact manager and contact manager only. PocketCM has just gotten too big and complex. Plus PCM takes forever to load.

Also, here is a link to the translated page for PrimeContact.

As far as the language is concerned. . . . I renamed LANG_ENG.CFG to LANG.CFG and it works fine. :)

Same Prime Contacts issue here
 
seemed like it worked fine yesterday but today I am experiencing identical issues., thats a shame, it was a nice looking contact mgr. Anyone have any easy substitutes or am I gonna have to flash to a new ROM just to get rid of the application ???

Also , do you have any suggestions how to update to latest Ftouchflo? The .9 version cannot be removed , and it causes "ftouchflo already running " when u install later version... With this being in the Rom I am unable to align my screen now, even when I "disable" ftouchflo. Thanks for any help on these/

fenton 03-03-2008 01:47 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
So, I hate to be a needy clueless fool, but what can we do ITMT for contacts with this ROM?

justpctech 03-03-2008 01:54 PM

well, I just installed PocketCM for the time being, works fine as usual.

colonel 03-03-2008 02:10 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Yeah, I have isolated the problems I was having with PocketCM and it had to do with the zip files and BuildOS. This has been resolved and I will probably go back to PCM for now.

lefty11 03-03-2008 05:22 PM

removing Prime contact....
 
well forgive this , but how did u disable or remove the PrimeContact?? (did u renistall rom? ) I hate to reflash rom again just for that...I don't mean to show my ignorance but thought u could not remove the apps on the ROM....I would also like to put newer version of ftouchflo but not sure how to remove it. Disabling it doesnt do any good as far as installing newer one...a little help, please.

colonel 03-03-2008 05:28 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
For now, just install the PocketCM cab. It will overwrite the "Contacts" registry entry and set PocketCM as the app for any Contacts reference.

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Beautiful ROM Colonel!! I was going to downgrade back to 2.17 but after getting your Feb. 28th ROM I'm sticking with this!! :headbang:
I love you MAN!!! LOL

Now how can I make a donation to you for your efforts? PM me with the details please.

Thanks for everything

Raging Idiot 03-04-2008 10:09 AM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Yep, sent donation Sunday to him and a few others. Hope others will follow.

All you have to do to donate is click on the big red bold "DONATE" in the Colonel's Sig line.

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
Let me start off by saying: Great job on the 2/28! This rom has everything and more.

The only issue im having is the signal bars which I know was discussed earlier. Just wondering if there is any way to change all of those icons?

colonel 03-05-2008 02:22 PM

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
I am still looking at a way to have the icons revertable.

On a side note, if anyone is artistic and has other suggestions, feel free to post them. I believe there are 6 16x16 icons for the various signal levels.

Message to Colonel Do you have a clean version of your Rom I love the Icons that you use and the colors

Re: colonels custom rom?
 
You must make sure you have properly done the 3.16 upgrade with the leaked gps rom. This will set you up with a new bootloader and radio as well. Once you have done this you should be able to flash just fine.

the original leaked rom can be found at the top of this forum here:

3.16.651.0 IS real, and so is GPS - Link inside - NOT official release
be sure to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, and i've found reading them a couple times helps it set in too.

there are other threads there that should cover any issues you may run into also. good luck.
