Problems With HTC Home 2.1_Hermes_n2a - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

Before I upgraded to Sprint's leaked Rom, Hermes_n2a worked flawlessly on my Touch. Now that I have upgraded to GPS, can't seem to get Hermes_n2a to run on my unit. It locks the unit up. The only way out is a hard reset. I like the Hermes_n2a program because I can use it with emunutz HTC Home Customizer. All the other 6-tab home customizer programs when used with emunutz program, after soft reset or normal power-up causes the home plug-in screen to disapper. There nothing there but an empty space where the home plug-in should be. Anyone know how to resolve this problem? Is there another 6 tabs HTC Home program I can use that wont lock the unit up?

Had the same exact problem trying to reinstall after 6.1 upgrade. Then I found another version that supposedly had a fix, so i tried after a had reset and 2.1 installed 1st try no problem. I then installed HHC and was able to restore my previous backup from the storage card no prob.Ive attached the cabs I used. Cant guarantee we have the same rom, since it looks like there are so many versions of the (un)Official sprint one, but this Worked For ME.

Your suggestion worked. Program installed smoothly and is currently running with no issues to date. Thank!!

Thanks for this post! I was having the same problem, but seems to be resolved with this version.

List of things that WORKS and do NOT WORK with NEW ROM

Please list the things that WORK and do NOT WORK with the new ROM uni_cdl_13068_130153_10900_wwe.
Opera 8.5 beta 2 with Tabs Works
You have to change the System font to somethin else though and then back to Tahoma else you see Wingdings
Use Tweaks 2k2.net to achieve this
Regards
The COnnection manager key on the hardware keyboard (Fn+Right Arrow) doesn't do anything anymore
Everything seems to work better and faster on my jasjar, except the fn key combination to turn on the comm mgr. Other than that everything seems to work for me
It can't show date & time on top bar on today screen as it is occupied by the battery icon.
I tried using tweak2k2 to add date & time, it was ok on other screens except "today". On today screen, it shows a broken icon.
May be it is just a simple reg tweak, but waiting to be found... Ideally, I want to see both info.
Bluetooth Turning off by itself
From what I have seen so far the new ROM has a similar problem than the current official Imate release English ROM 1.13.53 with Bluetooth turning itself off. In connection manager it appears to be on but when entering the settings the tickbox is blank. Has anybody else seen this behaviour or have a workaround? Thank you.

I cant get MMS working with O2, was going to try to have a look at it later tonight.
Can't get SPB Pocket Plus software to run in that it installs OK and appears to function without problems but as soon as you do a reset on the universal it hangs when restarting on the windows startup screen.
This appears to be nothing to do with the extended ROM as I also have the same problem when this is not installed.
Does anyone know how to make the extended ROM visible in such a way that the system doesn't create a second "Storage Card" entry. This behaviour occurs when I set the
HKLM\System\StoreageManager\autoload\TRUEFFS_DOC1 bootphase attribute to 2
and because I have installed all my utilities on the SD Card they don't work any more as the SD card gets renamed to "Storage Card1"

Just curious, are you using v.3.1 of SPB Pocket Plus? I never got the problem you say. I have installed SPB on O2, Imate, and QTEK variants of the universal ROM
pocket outlook now polls for email whether you leave it on the said account or not. Oh push email works great!
jorgee: The purchase invoice says 3.0 - naturally I can't look as I don't currently have it installed because of the reset issue.
Never had a problem with the old ROM (German T-Mobile from january)
Really annoying as I love the features this tool has.

U should upgrade to 3.1, you'll notice huge improvement in speed and if i'm not mistaken you'll get free update since you purchased 3.0, just use the old serial number.
I even installed it on extended rom memory without any problem at all, it runs as good as installed in main memory
Jorgee: thanks for the tip.
3.1 works great (even after a reset!). I'm a happy man again.
On my old Qtek 9000 ROM, the data connection automaticly disconnected after checking email, but with this new ROM, the connection stays on.
Anyone knows a way to change this back ??

I can't find the reg key to change the length of time the keyboard backlight stays on. I am not sure if the location changed or not, but it isn't where it used to be, at least on mine.

Duh! My Orbit ate my memory !!!

I noticed something peculiar today and wanted to know if anyone else faced it...Tried searching forum on this...but not seen..
I have an O2 Orbit with Bepe WM6 no fancy apps except Tomtom.
Today drove appx 40x2 miles return - the GPS worked fine, battery was great. But when I started off I remembered my Program memory was appx 24.8 free and a soft reset maybe a day before - by the time i returned home in evening - it went down to 13.2MB free - there were no programs running - i had closed tomtom and anything else that was running and still did not get my memory back.
I noticed the memory was low - coz once i returned home and switched off tomtom - i received a call and found the keypad very slow and barely unresponsive...so checked running programs and found calender running...shut that and still the mem was low...no impact !
then when i did a soft reset - voila! it was back ! the memory came back to 24.6 - so where did the memory go?
Is tomtom causing a leak???
is is windows itself?
any thoughts?
I am having a similar problem with both B&B Rom (v3) and the official HTC ROM.
After soft reset the phone has 24mb of program memory. I have the X button set to close apps on press of X so I know that programs are not left running.
After about 24-36 hours I have 2mb left. This is happening every soft reset.
I only have the following installed if it helps:-
WM6 HTC Rom
Phoneweaver (on today screen)
TodayAgenda (on today screen)
pTravelAlarm (on today screen)
TomTom 6 (installed but not used yet)
VJDevicelock
BatteryStatusExt 1.04
oxiosmemory
WindowsLive (on today screen) - ROM built in version set to sync with hotmail "as items arrive". I do not use Messenger
I hope that this can give some insight as I am getting fed up with having to soft reset every day or 2!
Pretty sure it's a windows fault. I also saw that using the first versions of WM6 we had, and it didn't tally with any application use.
I no longer see it using the same applications in a WM6 v3.7 environment, so my advice to you is upgrade that OS.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I am using ROM version: 3.7.707.1 which is the official "HTC Asia" release, and the problem still exists.

Are you using Tomtom/GPS also? Maybe it has something to do with the GPS?

Hey.. maybe it works, kind of like the RAM in a computer. when you use your com. it also fills up your ram.
Maybe the phones just dont discard the temp info in the RAM as well as our computers??

New XDA Zest firmware

There's a new Zest firmware available for download from http://www.my-xda.com/. The filename is Xda_Zest Firmware Update_V7.7.0S.WWE20.00_M4.6.5.P7_V2.1.4 GBR20, which seems to be updates to most of the roms inside the zest. It's installing at the moment, and the upgrade interface on the phone is displaying "GalaxyMini5 Eboot (3.33.0). Since this appears to be a codename for the P565, I guess this is more evidence that the XDA Zest is simply an underclocked P565 and more evidence that P565 firmware may well work on it.
Warning, this firmware does not appear to contain the O2 menu software, or the free GPS software that comes with the phone (although maybe the latter can be re-installed from the SD card). Shame - I rather liked the O2 menu interface.
what improvements does it have? Is it actually worth upgrading?
Thanks.
The only things I can see that I don't remember seeing before are a couple of new or updated control panel entries. Video calling is probably the really important one.
You seem to lose the RSS reader, the O2 auto settings, the O2 menu and the GPS s/w (although the latter was only a demo). I have no idea if using the SD card that came with the Zest will restore these, as I don't have it. (If the software is all on there somewhere, and someone could bung me a copy, I'd be really grateful.)
It does make me wonder how the P565 firmware compares. I understand it has a nice touch interface on it.
It seems odd that the new firmware would remove all the o2 specific bits. Great if you want to use it on another network I suppose, but I quite like the mobile shell or o2 menu.
The satnav software isn't on the sd card - only the maps.
The instructions say:
Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, refer to the Xda Zest user manual before upgrading your device software.

I couldn't see anything of significance in the user manual.
Interesting. I actually have Tomtom for GPS on a different SD card, which is related to the reason I don't have the original SD card. Tomtom autoinstalls from the SD card, so I thought it might be that the O2 software installed itself from the SD card provided by O2. I guess that if it's only maps on the SD card then that's not the case, and the new firmware does strip out all the O2 extras, which seems like a peculiar decision to say the least.
Still, it did get me to try the new SPB mobile shell 3, which is what the O2 menu is based on, but nicer. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the $35 for just a flashy finger driven interface. The weird thing is, it actually might be.
I'm actually going to upgrade my firmware to new one which is currently available in O2 site. What I want to know is if upgrade mine to the latest what would be the changes I may seen... Is it worth upgrading by loosing all the software?
So far I've seen nothing to write home about. The only reason might be if you can't already make video calls and want to do so. (I never make them, so I have no idea whether or not they're supported in the original firmware.)
I just upgraded mine to new firm ware. It worked fine for me. I didn't lose any O2 extras inc O2 menu. It was Oki but haven't tried yet to make video calls.. I will install iGO8 and will uninstall the co-pilot.
SPB Mobile shell 3.0 Rocks working smoothly with my Omnia and Xda Zest
I've just updated, and I didn't lose any O2 extras either (including Copilot). I backed up the Program Files\Copilot folder on the device to my PC before updating, and copied it back over after the update and voila, I've still got my fully activated version of Copilot. It did still prompt for allowing it to connect to the net during the 14-day trial the first time I ran it, but the license screen confirms it's the full version.

I have a working theory that the autorun on my Tomtom SD card might have run in preference to some autorun that might otherwise have run the first time the OS booted. I could test this by re-installing the firmware, but it's kind of a pain to have to put all the data on again.
Having played around some more and browsed the Extended ROM on my device, this does appear to be what happened, as all the CAB files are present. Fortunately this is a bonus for me, since I'm not on O2, and most of these files are useless to me, and I can therefore just pick and choose the apps I'd like to install.
This might be useful to other Zest users - the hack to make the Extended ROM visible:
Use your favourite Registry Editor to make HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ONDisk2\FATFS\MountHidden set to 0 (default is 1)
You can then browse to \ASUS_ROM\ in Total Commander to view your Extended ROM partition. The ROM does not appear to be write protected, so you can now put all the packages *you* want re-installed on a hard reset in there. Neat.
I contacted O2 support about this issue, and they replied saying that:
On occasions the O2 menu can drop off after a ROM upgrade, but this would usually be resolve by either hard resetting or running the upgrade again. The o2 menu is still installed on the new ROM.

I have now done this upgrade and have retained the 02 menu. The radio reception seems a bit better as I now get HSDPA at home, which I didn't previously, so the radio upgrade seems to be worth it.
ringer
ive got the zest and am happy with it so far apart from the last 2 days i cannot hear it when i get a call everything else works ie.system sounds,core player etc but the actual phone wont ring it just vibrates ive reset it a million times and checked system settings etc but nothing so if anyone has any ideas i would be very grateful, also how do you know if you are getting hdspa or not is there a setting for it or something, cheers guys.
The connectivity icon at the top right of the screen shows what communication protocol is being used by showing a symbol (usually just a single letter) in a solid square. The letters I have seen so far are:
G - GPRS (2G)
E - EDGE
3G - 3G (this is the odd one out with the two letters squashed together)
H - HSDPA
It's worth mentioning that on my train ride home I see all four protocols at different points, and the hand-off between them is very smooth.
thanks for quick reply i will keep an eye on it, still no joy with my ringer though its very strange. never had a problem like it on my orbit. i will keep investigating ,also do you know if anyone will be coming up with a rom for zest as i miss manila 2d although mobile shell v3 is good.
Have you checked:
Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications
On the Notifications tab you can select the "Ring type", one possible choice of which is "Vibrate", which will make the phone only vibrate on incoming calls. Just guessing.
yes ive tried all that it might be affected by software ive installed recently i will try unistalling them one by one and see if that helps, failing that il do a hard reset i guess, anyone know how to hard reset the zest? thanks for your help.
There is a contortional key sequence for this, but you can also reset it by going to:
Start->Settings->System Tab->Default Settings
cheers managed to sort it , i installed mini lyrics software and ticked all in associating files which for some reason stopped the phone from ringing
thanks for your help.
Failure of firmware upgrade
Ive just had a power failure whilst upgrading the firmware on my new xda Zest and all it it shows when turning on is "OS Update failed! Please update again". Is there anything i can about this or will it need to be returned to O2. Any suggestions. thanx

Tilt 2 Random Freeze with Keyboard

Hi All,
I looked thru 160 pages of searching with different keywords, and didnt find answer. I have the stock ATT rom, hard spl to add the 4.49 radio, have personalizer and Photo Contacts Pro 5.5 on it. Nothing else except to the two cab fixes to reduce ram useage.
The problem is at times when I get a txt msg and I hit reply the txt opens up and when I slide the phone to expose the keyboard to reply, the phone will freeze up, the cursor is still blinking to input but the buttons and the touch screen is not responsive, I have to hit the reset button on the side of the phone to regain control. Anyone else having this problem and is there a fix for this?
Check the hot fix on HTC's site
I have had the same issues and HTC recomended installing both hotfixes as they fix alot of other isses other than what is shown. I will let you know how they work as I am installing them now.
i have the att tilt 2 and tried to install the hotfix to stop my phone from freezing but when i tried to run the installer its said not compatible for this phone??? what is the deal?

Yep had the same problem when I tried to install the caller ID fix. the sms fix installed fine no issues there. I think the reason why it might have said its incompatible is because it might have been for the WinMo 6.1 not for the 6.5 version. I read somewhere (sorry who said it) that it checks against the loaded rom. and my feeling is the sms fix wasnt corrected in the 6.5 version but the caller id was, possibly. I have Tilt 2 from ATT and it has WinMo 6.5 on it stock, just hardspl-ed it to add the newest radio to it, which is 100x better then the stock version that came with the ATT rom.
The hotfixes only work on the stock ROM. Not sure if the fact that the OP changed the Hard SPL and the radio would prevent the hotfixes from installing. And the stock ROM for the Tilt 2 is WM 6.5, not 6.1.
I know the tilt 2 comes with 6.5 I stated that already but I tried the caller id fix before I hard spl when I had it only couple of days ago and still wouldnt update on the stock att rom with no tinkering.
The hotfixes will work on HardSpled phone as long as rom is original. I did mine when they first came out with no issues.
I also looked a little more closely at this, I installed the rom 1.86.401.0 that comes with the radio 4.49.25.14 and the date of this is new compared to the hotfixes, with that said would it be safe to assume the hot fix is already implimented? Cause ever since I dumped the ATT stock rom and add this htc original rom, and the tweaks I wanted to add, I have had no issues with the phone and have not installed the hotfixes except for the keyboard which seems to have come out after this rom update.
Any word on how we can get it to work on the phone with other roms?? or if I go back to th eoriginal will it work... I am basically stuck in limbo every time i go into sms now and i am about to drop kick the phone.

MobiTv for the TP2??

MobiTv for the TP2?? I downloaded the HD2 software and installed the mobitv cab. it launched but then wanted to download and update. there was no way around it. so it downloaded and now it won't work. does anyone have an updated cab or a way around letting it look for updated software?

Odd...that cab worked just fine for me on my TP2, updated and then ran just fine. I don't think there's any way around the update, but it should still work for you. What exactly happens...any error or other message, or does it just crash?
I'm assuming you're on T-Mobile?
(T-Mobile US TouchPro2)
ROM: 1.91.531.4 (74508) WWE/5.2.21881 (Stock 6.5)
Sense: 2.1.1921
Radio: 4.49.25.57
Product ID MobiTV 3.2.1
Release ID: 1.0.0.11-109478
Version winmo/ppc/2.2.0.109484
Kind of glitchy, but have it sort of working.
1) I am running 6.1 so possibly part of the problem? I would upgrade to 6.5 but i would have to reload all my software ... correct?
2) My device name is now T-Mobile_LEO, I assume the MobiTv cab or swype cab that I downloaded from here (page with the T-Mobile HD2 preloaded software) changed it. I found in the registry the HKLM\System\Platform\OEMSTring = T-Mobile_LEO. I assume I can change it there. Any place else and anything that I should know?
3) once in MobiTV, how do you return from a screen (cancel, back, etc)? If I click menu, how do I get back? I have Help, Share, License, Subscription, and Privacy. But no way to get back.
4) how do you increase volumne? it is really low. My device volumn seems to have to effect.
I downloaded the cab from the HD2 preloaded page. Installed. It did a reset. Ran the software, immiedately it said that I needed a newer version. Clicked OK and it launched IE, at first it did not download. But I clicked retry and it downloaded MobiTV.cab. Launched MobiTV, do not remember exactly but got a couple of errors.
Now when I launch MobiTV, I get the message about a newer version. If I click OK it launches IE and I get a "MobiTV downloaded" immediately. If I click Exit or OK to the download - MobiTV will let me back in the next time. When I click on any channel. it does not play.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it did not help.
OK, got the delete button to go back (cancel). but how to do it on screen?
Well I think the first thing you'll need to do is apply that update. I'm guessing it just has issues with using IE for the download, I downloaded it through Opera (since it was set as my default browser), and that worked fine. Fortunately I happened to save the .cab file that the update was sent on, so I've attached it below for you to try....close MobiTV and run this cab and it should update your player and you can try running it again then.
As for the "back" button, I've always used the hardware button...the only on-screen method I've gotten any response from is a firm left-to-right swipe on the screen, across the titlebar that says "MobiTV" and whatever channel you're looking at. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, so I've just gotten used to the hardware back button.
Same holds true for the volume too...I usually watch it over my BT headset, which controls the volume independent of system volume. I've never gotten the volume buttons to work once the app is started, I have to set the volume beforehand, or back out of the app with the homescreen button and adjust it then re-enter the app (sorry, I know that's pretty crappy).
Let me know if the cab makes any difference for you at least...
I was trying to get into MobiTv again, so it went to IE and said Downloaded. I looked away for awhile and when I looked back it was downloading and then it installed. No errors. Now it seems to be working without issue - just minor inconvenience (navigation and volumne).
No idea why it worked this time. Just glad that it did.
THanks.
BTW - downloaded your cab for when I upgrade to WM 6.5 and have to reinstall everything.
THanks again.
