Smartskey issue... - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Anyone know smartskey really well?
It doesn't seem to matter whether I set the CLOSEAPPS to "1" or leave it at "0," it always closes programs instead of minimizing them.
I've set CLOSEAPPS to "1" and put the exact spelling of the window names (including the appropriate case) in the EXCEPTION LIST, but to no avail.
One of my programs it tries to close (Photo Contacts PRO), it simply can't close it. I click on the "X" to close (or minimize), the "X" greys out for about a second-and-a-half, and then just comes back to the "X."
Any ideas?

There is an app in the ROM that closes programs when you tap the "X". That may be affecting your smartskey experience. (System>Settings>X-Button).
--M

That's all it was.
In the HTC "X-Button" application, both the options "End programs by tapping 'X'" and "End programs by tapping and holding 'X'" were checked. I unchecked the first option and all is well.
Thanx!

SUMMITER: Cingular Rom Help

Summiter, I reflashed for the 4th time and am still having the problem so here goes:
I flashed using the newest rom thatyou listed in your other post.
Rom Version: 2.17.7.2 WWE
Rom Date: 2/10/06
Radio Version: 02.07.10
Protocol Version: 413.1.03
Programs installed:
Splashdata SplashBlog for PocketPC
My Company PPCDJ
TranCreative Magic Button
Agilemobile.com Agile Messanger
Resco Registry Add-in
Resco FTP Add-in
Resco Explorer 2003
Zoki A2DP
FdcSoft PPCContactsMgr
ammar Wireless Today Plugin
Smartskey
This is what happens:
When my phone comes back from standby or even at random times, but specifically standby, If i press the mail button, the title bar appears along with the softkeys changing as if it opened up the messaging application. However the background is still the today screen or whatever was under it. If i exit out of it through magic button or smartskey it goes away then i can hit it again and it comes back.
I have set up cingular ispda and gmail, i havent done any registry hacks. This is far less than what ive run the last few times this has happened.
It's annoying but i can live with it if you tell me i have to. Thanks for your help with all this.
I can almost guarantee it is being caused by one of the programs you have installed. This doesn't sound like a ROM issue.
I can go one step further. I have had this occur on every ROM I have used. If memory serves it was the most infrequent on the imate 2.16 ROM. From your list we only have the 2.17 ExtROM and Resco in common, but I don't think either of those cause this. Unfortunately, I don't think any ROM flash will eliminate it completely.
actually the software loaded is all different for this reflash. i didnt use any of these the last flash.
i have the same probl;em with my my mail button...the title bar changes and the today screen stays the same...it bothered me at first but i just tap onthe messages tab on the today screen and it takes me to my messages, i dont even notice anymore.
n
Uninstall the Ammar Today Screen app and see if that changes things.
S
The same thing happens to me. I'm running the latest summiter rom, and I just got the motorola stereo bluetooth headphones and the a2dp works flawlessly and the device is stable, but the mail button gives me title bar and softkeys but I still see Today screen. If I tap the mail line on the screen all is well. I have spb pocket plus, pocket weather, smartskeys, memmaid, quotrek, netfront 3.3 trial.
i removed ammar and it still happens.
Also my calls disconnect after 5 minutes and my ring tone stutters and doesnt vibrate when i get a call in standby.

Cingular 8125 users: custom AKU 2.3 ROM available

Ahoy mateys,
There's a new custom ROM up on the ftp. It is based on AKU 2.3, originating from a T-MO beta ROM. The core OS however is not beta and is the final AKU 2.3 release.
This ROM feels much better to me than 2.25 did. It will take a few days to really know if it's more stable, but after about 12 hours with it, it feels right. Please only install this ROM if you can deal with potential oddness.
A few interesting notes, and some stats:
-A2DP was already integrated into the OS (no more add-on needed), and works mighty nice with my HT820s, although it sucks CPU
-Auto timezone is active - disable it if your towers insist you're somewhere you aren't
-Boot time is pretty fast, about as fast as 2.25
****THIS NEXT STATEMENT SHOULD BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD****
-The reported ROM build is 2.24. However the core OS build is newer than that of the leaked Cingular ROM version 2.25. This is because the source carrier (T-MO) happens to be at a different place in their numbering. Again, the OS build is newer than the one in Cingular ROM 2.25.xx.
***********************************************************
-The radio ROM is 2.25.11, the same as was in Cingular's 2.25.
-Vibrate while sleeping still works
-Manual phone network selection is re-enabled
-The GPRS/EDGE indicator is now a little different: In the title bar, the usual "E" or "G" indicator will tell you which of the two is available. Added was a very small "E" or "G" over the signal strength bars to indicate an active data connection. This is either new, or my short attention span never noticed it.
-OS reports as: OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
-Contains Cingular customizations for accounts, etc
-Added: themes, ringers, OmapClock w/ shortcuts, improved Task Manager, contact multi-select, wireless today screen item
-Makes toast, but not waffles (yet)
Alrighty then, here you go:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Up...U_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST2.exe
For the adventurous, let me know how it works for you, and whether the toast is any good. I don't run much in the way of third party apps, so can't comment on issues with them.
EDIT 06/06/06:
I replaced the T-MO sourced 2.25 radio with the Cingular sourced 2.25 radio since some folks say they get better performance. Link to renamed file udpated.
Also includes a softkey control panel app to change softkey mappings.
One more quick note - please don't PM me regarding this or other ROMs. Aks in the forums for the benefit of all. Questions that aren't answered elsewhere in the forum WILL be answered by any number of the great folks arouns here.
[email protected]!
Thanks a lot, i will try it this afternoon.
applying now .... thanks for the great work
can you make a rom with all your customization (themes, rings, etc) but WITHOUT any Cingular stuff? I'd like to use the ROM on a different network.
Thanks
PS: is it possible to find, somewhere on this or other forum, a complete guide on how to cook a wizard rom?
I've searched extensively this forum and now i think (or i hope) i have all the knowledge and the tools i need to start however i'm scared i can destroy my phone with a bad rom.
Thanks, bye
you rock !
installing now.... i use spb pocket plus i will give feed back on interaction with that ..

so now i have tested it, works very fine and stable on my T-Mobile Vario. Thanks for that.
So far sumitter this ROM seems to rock hard and fast! BT hasn't shut down and it does boot quicker. I'm gonna start playing with this newer Clearview and see if I can get by without that Adobe Reader... stratnge that they never updated it, huh??? ... kinda like MS Voice 1.5 ...WTF?
Thanks bro!!

Greetings!
Just upgraded from your 2.17 ROM and this one seems to be a lot faster especially on bootup.
Thank you very much!
Nice work summiter Only been on the wizard scene for 2 weeks and Ive already noticed who the "daddy" is I do have one request though, could you maybe list what files are in the extended rom and there function so to avoid installing Cingular setting ect
Summiter, just noticed that inserting or removing the memory card will wake up the 8125. Nice!
Now, if only the keyboard backlight could be made to stay on for 30 seconds instead of 5...

mmm toast....
thanks for the update, will install this later...
Great, I was just about to install the AKU 2.2 version, but I'll jump on this instead!
Just installed.
Hit a couple of oddities for the first time (previously installed 2.17 and 2.25 summiter roms) that I'd heard reported before: 1) one install (rhinostats) hung (clock just went round and round for several minutes after install) at the end requiring a soft reset. The install was successful though. 2) after successfully setting up our corportate pushmail, some time later when I checked back, the mail folder was missing in messaging. Attempting to deinstall/reinstall error'd with an account setup problem. I deinstalled, then soft reset, then re-installed and it was able to resetup the account.
The rom is a little different than past Cingular ones in that the cingular GPRS settings are under My ISP. I didn't see how to change proxy on My ISP; however, it seems proxy is not set which is what I want.
Also, the O2 today theme was missing. I actually was using that ;-)!
Thanks for putting this all together Summiter!!!
Finally took the leap and updated to this ROM from my Cingular stock ROM (OS 1.8.11.1).
A quick question for Summiter: what are the registry changes you made, if any?
Thanks for the ROM!
So far so good! Pocket Plus has been working great. I love it!

Thanks a lot! Installed it a few minutes ago, so I am not able to rate it's stability, but so far so good. One thing I noticed is that in the settings--> connections menu an option is added: USB to PC. It states " Changing the type of USB connection your device uses can help with problems connecting Activesync. "
Enable advanced network functionality (checkbox)
Might be usefull for those having troubles with USB connections.

Installed Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19716 - Comm manager opens randomly

Ok.. so a few days ago I installed this:
Rom: Duttys WM6.1 5.2.19716
Radio: Polar 1.58.25.14
Everything works great... except for the stupid comm manager. I remapped all of my buttons... so now the only thing the comm manager is assigned to is the "press and hold SEND button".
However....
The COMM manager will randomly launch itself. It seems like it happens sometimes when i'll click text messages, or open slide out the keyboard... etc. etc..
For what it's worth.. i installed the same rom and radio on my girlfriends tilt, and her phone does the same thing. Has anyone else experienced this?
Yea, I was getting the same thing.
You should flash the latest version of that rom, it's the 1 5.2.19716_UC. I still get the comm manager popping up, but it's not nearly as much as what you're seeing now. And if you can believe it, the latest one is even FASTER!!!
And it is UC compliant.
UC = "User Customization":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
New rom here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5wdmtmyylvg
Actually dude thats the one i'm using. I forgot to put the UC at the end. :-/
So... i guess we are stuck at the moment.
EDIT: I changed my sig to reflect the correct Rom ..... anyone else having this issue? Anyone know of a fix?
Bump Bump Bump
Anyone find a solution?

I just found something out. A friend of mine and I have identical everything installed on our tilts...
Here are our rom versions, radio versions, and DIFFERENT protocol versions... we installed from the EXACT same files. WTF?
Check this out... we ended up somehow with different protocol versions... does that make a difference?
I have the issue with the comm manager opening up, he doesnt.
My info:
Rom: Touch v6.1 WWE
Rom date: 02/19/08
Radio version: 1.58.25.14
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05h <---notice the H
My friends info:
Rom: Touch v6.1 WWE
Rom date: 02/19/08
Radio version: 1.58.25.14
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05w <---notice the W
Maybe this is some insight... but i have no idea how this happened if we both used the same rom, same radio, same everything. Hell, we even used the same cab files when we installed our other apps, and we never installed a different comm manager.
On a side note... I also installed ALL of these same files on my girlfriends Tilt, and she has the same issue that I am having with the comm manager.
WTF. LoL
I went through the registry and at first glance everything appears ok. I suppose i'll do a little more digging later on...
Pictures of both of our info.... my picture is missing the one missing the beam button and with the "H" at the end of the protocol... his has the "W".
I had him try to do the comm manager glitch about a dozen times but no go.. so his isnt broke. Lucky bastard.
because i got the same problem with W and H i am curious if you find out how to switch the versions.
What i found out is:
W means GSM (900/1800/1900) and UMTS (2100 anly)
H means GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) and UMTS (850/1900/2100Mhz)
Same here.
I have the same problems with my comm manager randomly opening when I have a program open and switch to landscape mode.
But I'm not running anything from Dutty.
Rom version: 1.56.405.5
Radio: 1.27.12.11
Protocol 22.45.88.07W
I have nothing to add other than to say the Comm Manager opens everytime I slide too.

Notes problem

When I select "ink notes" & the lined screen appears &, when I start writing the written words dont come out right, they are not solid & the strokes have streaks in them. I am using the HTC rom 1.62.502.0 & have kaiser tweaks installed. I have set the sensitivity level form normal to extremely high to NO avail.
This is frustrating, I like to create handwritten notes from time to time & cant figure out why I cant get it to work. This was the same with the original rom that came with the tilt. I cannot create a handwritten note. If I uncheck draw the lines go away & the writing is unrecognizable .
Any help with this is GREATLY appreciated.
If you are using FTouchFlo you need to disable it before you use the transcriber.

I cant find touchflo to disable it. I dont know where it is located???
The transcriber works fine in all the other programs. Even if I use it with the screen with no lines. But when I open notes & select new note & the screen with lines appears, the minute I start writing the strokes skip ( lines are not solid they are broken up Ex: dashes & dots) & when I unckeck draw, the words I have written have lines thru them going everywhere???

Touch problem in my 8925!!!

Hi, I have a problem, sometimes when i'm touching the screen (to run aplications) in my HTC 8925, this doesn't do anything, and, I try 2 or 3 times and suddenly this runs, aparently the reaction is slow. I don't know what happen. In my Device information, I have this:
ROM version: 3.55.502.1 WWE
ROM date: 06/05/08
Radio Version: 1.58.25.17
Protocol version: 26.69.30.05H
I want that this be an easy problem to fix.
Thanks for all possible help.
increase the sensitivity?
How can I do that?
Get the kaisertweak and increase sensitivity Also, you may want to realign the screen.
You should also look into flashing an up-to-date SPL for your phone. Since you have an AT&T Tilt running a WM 6.1 ROM, you must have HardSPL installed on you phone. Random screen freezes have been reported far-and-wide by people running WM 6.1 with a 1.xx SPL.
Check out the HardSPL thread that is stickied at the top of the ROM Development section. It will guide you through updating your SPL.
Hi, I have the Kaiser-HardSPL-3.56 in my phone.

Did you always have HardSPL 3.56? If so, then follow the advice posted earlier about using KaiserTweak to modify your TouchFLO pressure settings, and edit the registry to raise the overall sensitivity of the touchscreen.
In KaiserTweak, go to the TouchFLO section. Change "Sensitivity" and "Finger Pressure" to Normal.
The install a registry editor, I use Total Commander, and navigate to: "HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel" and change the number to 5000.
Exit Total Commander, wait 10 seconds, and then soft reset your phone. You should notice 98-99% of the screen lag disappear.
thanks, fantastic!!, I have changed the value in the registry, I'm testing the performance and until now it works very fast!!
Best Regards!!!
