Are the alarms fixed in WM2003SE? - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Most readers here will be familiar with the notorious unreliability of the alarms/notifications in WM2003 - we've all seen the various fixes, from reg. tweaks to software patches, which deliver solutions which vary in success. What I haven't managed to find is a conclusive answer to the question "Have MS finally fixed the alarms in WM2003SE?".
Of all the reasons for upgrading my device to SE, this is really the only one which matters to me. I don't need Landscape, the BT changes don't help me either and since I'm still on the more stable 1.60 ROM (as opposed to the 1.66/1.72), I am happily using all the PP2 features without a care in the world... but I'd like reliable alarms!
I currently use a three minute time-period for the housekeeping process which works most of the time, but as my appointments database climbs towards the 500 record mark, I'm still missing some first alarms.
So, does anyone have a conclusive answer? Do the alarms work more reliably in SE than they did in WM2003? Please tell...

depends on what problem you face, my problem wit halarm was its long duration between ring & the short duration for total rings, well get SPB pocket plus & those 2 problems are fixed imediatly it rings accendingly & keeps ringing untill your brain burst

The bug I'm talking about is the failure of the first alarm to go off in a day, due to the housekeeping task not completing properly. If the first alarm doesn't wake the device and go off, none of those after it can go off either - until the user turns on the device manually and then gets them all in one go.
Oh, and I have Pocket Plus for the alarm duration/repeat issue, among others - while it does tidy the notifications database of duplicates it still doesn't fix this problem!

oh now i understand but this was fixed in the 1.72 rom, not even the se rom but anyhow if you are asking its is not present on the se rom too

I hadn't heard that, but then I've only got the 1.60 ROM on my device - that's the latest that O2 Asia released.

AFAIK it is NOT fixed in the XDA 2003SE ROM!
I have tried it several times with the 2.06 ROM and the first alarm on a day did not wake up the device.
I would recommend SPB Time or something similar for wake up

Notification DB Fix needed for new ROMs?

Hi,
Do we still need to load the database filling up fix with the new O2 XDA2 ROM release?
Thanks
Regretably it would appear that we do, and now more so than ever!
Before the upgrade, missed calls did not give me the SCRIP:0x000
events that are referred to in the Check Notofication tools (but I did
use to have a very old radio stack...).
Now I get them, one per call, as expected.
In short, put the utilities in, or regret it!
Cheers,
Dave.
Ummm i dont think your problem is related database filling up fix did you try a hard reset coz so far mine is working fine even under heavy pressure...
i think you have a local problem on your device.

Russian ROM 2.05.261.1

Hello,
i downloaded the new version RUU_Hermes_2.05.261.1_6275_1.34.00.10_108_HTCRUS.
This is test only version. and official?
up!
When will a official release?
works great so far.
Significally faster than the original Russian TyTN ROM.
Any problems so far?
Dear all, who tried RUS AKU3.3 ROM!
Did you encountered any problems? Anything doesn't work? Or whatever else? I'm using Herm for business and basically prefer not to risk change one buggy ROM on another? I heard on wwe/swe versions that besides "it works faster" there were some new bugs?
It would be great if someone can share his new rus ROM experience summary to everyone here. Thanks in advance.

BlackBerry Connect does not work. All other things are fine so far since yesterday.
depends on what business you're in
more problems were solved than created for me, business use mainly.
1) no WPA2
2) frozen incoming call (muted) notification. The "incoming call" window just stayed there on top of everything else AFTER the other party hang up. Happened only once.
Some problems with the AKU
1. A2DP does not work propelly - it has drops
2. Dial-up networking does not exist anymore which is extrimly bed surprise as i am travel a lot and use one for laptop communication with office.
The rest is Ok so far
this ROM work faster in comparison RUS ROM 1.18.261.1?
Sharing my first experience on new AKU3 RUS ROM (comparison to Russian official ROM, dated summer 2006, never reflashed before)... (I used this instruction for flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085 and i didn't flashed GSM update).
1) It works faster. I never measured, but subjectively it's like 5-15%, and basically on my device it was not like a general speed increase, and rather like this: any delay if it occurs, seems to be smaller - for example I use several programs sitting in memory and I use SPB Diary today plugin, on I switched to its tabs for the first time I got a delay for a second. Now it's more like a half of a second. But it's not a 50% increase of cause - less. And on the other side - I noticed that sometimes delays increased: on startup I have to wait a bit longer for a security code window become active since it's drawn on the screen. As before I could type my pin right after, no I have to wait for a second or two.
2) It works stable for me. in general ok, no problems or complaint as a result of one days usage: SPB P+, SPB Diary, SPB Time, SPB Weather, PExcel, Outlook (Pop3, MS Exchange), SMS, Internet via GPRS, BT headset (but i don't use voicedial), USB ActiveSync- all work fine with no problems. What is o/s which I'm going to test soon: wifi, ICQ, Skype.
The only problem I faced - i don't know the reason, but I have a bug with time setting, when was coming through a first time reboot and extrom execution. I started device after flashing for the first time, was passing through customization and at the time I was setting my clock (I set it, selected timezone, pressed ok or "äàëåå") ExtRom execution started and I was no able to do anything else. Then it finished, my device rebooted and my time was 12 hours forward (e.g. 1PM instead of 1AM). And when I tried to correct this (correct time by 12 hours back) - all my meetings and events mooved and for ex. Birthday that was set to 01MAR was shown on 28FEB )). So I was confused by this. So I had to delete all PIM data, and reconnect it to my outlook once again making full synchro.
That's my experience so far. If you have any ideas on running a test program to measure productivity - you're welcome. We can do it.
Which .NET CF version does it have built-in?

Hello, BACIOTKA, nice to meet you at this forum too.
With ACU3.3 A2DP skipping issue is solved for me. No more skippings.
But there is a big sound distortion at high frequrency.
So the sound is still not good.
Hi! It`s still unclarified for me, do I HAVE to do all the steps written in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085 thread? My device is HTC-branded and hasn`t been CID-unlocked and flashed (QTEK_A07, bootloader 1.04, ROM version 1.18.261.1). Can I just flash the update or it won`t work? Is it final ACU3.3 update for russian devices or just a beta/test release? Thanks!

MarsWare NewsPanel on WM6 lockup

Greetings! I wanted to see if anyone out there is experiencing the same problems and if so then maybe they have already come up with a solution.
A handful of software is locking up my WM6 (TrueNytrals 1.4MS), the most importand of which Marsware Newspanel is locking up the device after resuming wakeup. I also noticed that it does the same thing on some 3.3AKUs that I tried however the 2.2AKUs (Offical QTEK) seems OK.
I love WM6 and find that the amount of energy poured into getting this OS on our Prophets is outstanding!
Could anyone assist me with keeping this GREAT software on my G3 device since the developer has been MIA for a couple of years now and there is little chance that this software will ever move from BETA stage.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
EDIT: Upon decompiling further, I have found that the NewsPanel.dll code imports from the following in the system files:
commctrl.dll
coredll.dll
aygshell.dll
wininet.dll
Of which there are differences from 2.2AKU to 3.3 and up (one would assume), therefore leading me to a dead-end. Would the system remain stable if one were to replace the above system files with the ones from a 2.2AKU? Furthermore how could one attemp changing these os-locked files?
Should this thread now be moved to "Development and Hacking"?
Anyone could PLEASE help?
Edit AGAIN: I have tried disabling EVERYTHING but the known system processes and also moving to the internal storage... STILL locking up the device.
Anyone?
Has anyone any ideas on this?
If someone has Marsware Newspanel working on their WM6 (ANY Flavour) and it is NOT locking up their device, could you please post here your NewsPanel.dll from your "\Program Files\Marsware\" folder OR PM me? So that I may compare it to my own...
Thanks again!
lets go about this the other way, does newspanel even support WM6 ? (ask them) if so, we can have a look etc. or are you trying to patch this software to work with WM6 ?
Marsware Newspanel lockups
Jesterz, thanks for your reply...
I feel like Wayne "I'm not worthy"... you are like an XDA idol - cool:
I am not sure if NewsPanel is compatible with WM6 and there is no way of contacting the developer due to the fact that he has been missing in action for more than a few years now, NewsPanel and TimePanel being his last releases (even before WM5 came out).
I suppose then to answer your question, I am looking at MODing it to work for WM6, it worked with NO Problems on WM5 up until 3.3AKU. My initial query was to find out if there were others out there that were able to use the software on their WM6 Devices without lockups and IF so then to find out how this is possible, apply it to my own device; in turn assisting others with the same problems. It is by far THE BEST Rss software out there (subjectivity). Maybe it is JUST not possible with WM6 due to internal OS changes, but proding around I have seen some accounts of it working on WM6. Is it solely a problem that all of the WM6 ROMs in the prophet forums here are all based on the same Wizard ROM? I am not sure, however on Prislavs 4b ROM, which is based on a Charmer ROM - NewsPanel locked up as well... TOO many questions.
So IF there are some out there with a WM6 Device AND MarsWare's NewsPanel installed and working, if they could post their device type (ROM type) and possibly their DLL (there shouldn't be any copyright problems due to it being a free BETA edition).
Thanks again.

I've been away from months so i'm catching up, but I now remember these guys, they also made the weatherpanel, too bad they are MIA, anyway obviously something broke between AKU 2.2 and AKU 3 and higher, as you have already debuged in your posts, it is probably due to change in the files you list, what you could do is create an WM6 rom with older files in it and see if it works....
P.s.
i'm hardly an XDA idol, like way !, no way ! I just like my prophet
Upgrading
Jesterz,
I have never quite ventured into the 'building' stages of the OS, just mainly flashing others' published works. However I am downloading the S-Core kitchen and I will see if I am not able to do just that - replacing the neccessary files to get this soft to work. However if I were to be able to extract the files that I saw from decompiling the dll from an official 2.2 AKU then I could make a CAB file to replace some if not all of the dll's, no? I say this because I have for once an incredibly stable TrueNytral 1.4 ROM with everything working (charging, wifi, bt, IR, etc.) and I would hate to see it gone - "if it ain't broke don't fix it'.
So I suppose now that I have to figure out how to extract these files from my 2.2 Nk.nbf and THEN put them in a CAB and install on my WM6... the learning process begins now...
Any assistance or guidance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Still goin' on...
I have tried about everything now, I have tried to extract all the above-noted DLLs from the official QTEK ROM, but the problem with the PE Headers of the dumped files is stopping me from trying to use them in my WM6. (Yet another problem)
I have looked in the NewsPanel.DLL, but my programming skills are not adequate enough to amend or modify it due to the fact that I don't know what I am doing should I need to change something.
++++ Can someone out there (Guru status sans doute) disassimble the DLL to know how it works and then modify what is making it "lockup" on WM6 (normally within 45 seconds after waking up the device). ++++
I cannot seem to find another (better) RSS reader that offers large RSS Descriptions WITH embedded photos on the today screen:
I have tried PocketRSS - large and nice but no photos
I have tried Insight - nice but NOT large enough
Egress downloads in background but no photos on today screen
Franky newspanel is by far the best, I just cannot seem to get it to work!
Maybe I'm bull-headed, but I don't want to let this go if there is a way to use still use it with WM6- and as I said b4 the developer is MIA.
AnYoNe can HELP?
Hey,
found your post in a search, and I just want to let you know that you are not alone, I have the same problem on an unknown Vanilla ROM and also the current XDA Mobile 6 r2a that I'm running. The exact same symptoms. This is REALLY a shame as I totally agree that it is THE BEST today plugin when it comes to RSS. I'm settling with Egress right now but if anything were to evolve on NewsPanels problems...
If there's ANYTHING I can do with my very limited knowledge in programming, let me know, at least I can beta test, right? I have no problems flashing and re-flashing if needed to get this awesome program back up and running in our WM6s.
Best Regards,
Nik
newspanel
Has any fix this program so it can be run with wm6? sorry about my english
That's strange. Back when I had the PPC-6700, NewsPanel (after a few months) started locking up my phone all the time. Not just on wake-up, but when I tried to do ANYTHING. In fact, it caused me to hard-reset a few imes...
However, now that I've got the HTC Mogul, I haven't had this problem once. Of course last time it just took a while for the problem to show up, but it might also be because I'm using the today plug-in in Spb Diary.
-W&P
p.s. I know this post isn't much help, but I thought maybe knowing it works for me in Diary might help out in some way.
Update
Ok, it seems that the Call to the Connection is the problem here or at least I think so. When we check for it to "Establish a Connection" and you have a GPRS connection it works without any problems. However, if you were to go to Flight mode then it will lock up your device again...
I read somewhere that the developer fell off of a mountain while trying to climb it and consequently expired, so I guess there is no help down that road...
Could or can anyone with some experience with IDA (or the like) dis- and re-assemble the DLL and take out the Establish a Connection problem so that the rest of the world can have Photo feeds on their today screen without waiting for Insight to update for over 8 months now? I confirm that this is working in WM5 of the official flavour, i.e. Qtek 2.20 for S200 WITHOUT the establish connection thing-y.
Otherwise I am trying to learn as I go, but as many of you with graduate degrees in IT will acknowledge - It ain't easy!
Peace...........

On my HTC Tytn-II with WM6, Newspanel locks up the device even if "Establish a Connection" is disabled/unchecked.

Post #1 updated with new Rom.
thanks!
This worked perfectly with my Telstra HTC Touch dual (Neon) device.
For any other newbies like me, this is all I did-
Took my brand new Telstra Australia Touch Dual.
Installed the Neon Hard-spl here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260&highlight=neon
Then just installed the rom in this thread. It works great, though i've lost my Office Mobile apps.
I had no sound at all on the first boot, but after reboot (and it does tell you to reboot again) everything was fine.
Thanks! And I look forward to trying your future releases.
woops one issue
An update on my install, I did actually end up having issues where as soon as a call was made or received all sound stopped working (which obviously makes calls a problem)
As per the original post, installing the updated Radio which took me from version .15 to .17 seems to have fixed this problem.
So are you saying that this ROM doesn't have
* video calling
* office apps
* or SOLITAIRE!?
Can they be installed afterwards or anything?
Cheers
jbng
Okay so I freaked a little when the camera stopped working and my guitar tuner wouldn't work, but it turned out I had to update the radio and that fixed both problems. It does seem to be smoother too.
Office apps are there, solitaire is there, but alas no video calling.
Can you get a third party app to do that, or will we have to re-flash the ROM if and when you add the 3G dialer?
I'm getting a bit sick of this hard reset rigmarole - although I am getting much more efficient at it!
Appreciate your work Seth - keep it up. BTW, the ROM update seems to have fixed my 'not waking up from standby' issues.
Cheers

You can use User Customization, works for me you only have to run it once after the hard reset and all you've configured will be setup. Maybe if Seth is really nice he will include it in his rom the next time so you don't have to run it manually.

The ROM is working great - no lockups at all since installing it.
I seem to have conflicting information about Bluetooth being affected by radio ROMs - what's your opinion? The reason I ask is that my bluetooth range is pretty shocking (it won't even go through one thin wall in the next room) and I was thinking that maybe one of the newer radio roms might improve it.
Will the Niki roms on the radio page work in a Neon? Should 1.65x radios work with your ROMs? The 1.65s there seem to be from a Kaiser.
The other thing I've seen is a HTC-supplied 'bluetooth hotfix' for the TytnII - any opinion on that?
We'll hang out for your video calling CAB/ROM too. Not that I ever really video call, but if someone asks 'can you do video calling?' I want to be able to say that I can... ;-b
Actually that's a thing - if someone video calls ME, will I be able to answer with the current ROM?

I haven´t had much time to play with Radios. I´m using the radio of my post and my bluetooth is fine. The range is excellent, i live on the second floor and i still can get my cars bluetooth out the back in the carpark.
Hey Seth
VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?
RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...
BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.
I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.
Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.
Cheers

I will do two things tonight.
1 - I'll flash this Rom back on my device, i'm currently using SETHS DIAMOND V2 Build 19214.1.0.4. And i'll try to work out why the Cab doesn't work.
I'll rebuild this rom and include the video dialer if point one fails.
Cheers
Hey Seth
In the interests of 'giving something back' - here's a handful of splash screens for the diamond and the neon for you to take or leave...
Your 'logo' is supposed to be a square ROM chip but with griddle lines over it (you're a chef, after all). It also happens to be an 'S'.
If you want any further tweaks or raw files let me know.
Cheers

PS. While we're on the subject of splash screens, I get an 'access denied' error when I try to replace the windows mobile startup .png file on your latest Neon ROM. Any ideas why that would be the case? With the previous ROM my file just copied straight over the top.

Hi jbng,
Thanks for the wonderful images. The only program i know that can overwrite system files is Total commander. Just copy the file to your storage card and then use total commander to overwrite.
If that doesn´t work i posting 4 cabs on my latest Neon Rom for who ever wants to use your great artwork.
Regarding the Video dialer i just realized that RV1 has video calling, only the public beta didn´t. Please update your rom to either V1 or V"2.
Thanks

[Q] Audio problems with Energy ROM

Previously I tried some of the latest Energy ROMs and liked them for the speed, the lack of HTC messaging, the well organized Start Menu, etc. but had to move on to another ROM because I had serious audio problems with Energy. Problem present while making phone calls and also while listening to music/watching movies through headphone. While volume is below ~50% the sound is so dull and faded I hardly understand what my talk partner says. Above ~50% it turns to an extremely sharp tone with almost no bass that hurts my ears. Also the volume difference between the steps are very uneven.
Tried both 21916 and 29022 of the 'Standard Reference' series with radios 2.15.50.14 and 2.12.50.02_2 with the same result. Used HSPL4 and the SD card method.
Strange but I couldn't find anyone complaining about such problems in the ROM thread so it is absolutely possible that I'm missing something although stock 3.14, Laurentius and Artemis (this is my current) ROMs had perfect audio on this phone.
Anyone could point out what I'm doing wrong?
Come on guys, any thoughts?
Or nobody uses WinMo anymore?...
Still using it
Just stumped on your issue as not experienced any volume issue on more than 20 HD2 company handsets running Energy rom (older 23699build is one we use)
Don't know if any alterations to the audio para file where made in later builds of Energy so worth searching the thread on it.
You could copy the audio para file from Artemis & use it to replace the Energy rom one & see if makes any difference ...
Thanks for the hint, to be honest, this is the first time I hear about this file.
I've done some research in the forums, now I understand that it should be a file called audiopara.csv in the \Windows folder. The problem is that in Artemis ROM there is no such file there nor on the entire device. Tried to find it with Resco Explorer with displaying hidden/system files all enabled, but found nothing.
While searching I found some pretty unclear info about NRGZ and pyrorob trying to address some in-call background noise with these mods but trying to put the picture together from a topic of 3600+ pages gives me headache. I've never had such noise issues they mention.
I'd like to start flashing the ROM but without any possible solution in my hands it would be a waste of time so if you or anyone could give any further advice that'd be great.
As I didn't get an answer I started flashing Energy ROM again to see if anything goes different this time but no luck, audio is messed up just as like my previous try. Before that I digged out my old Diamond2 from below the dust which also had perfect audio. Searched for the audiopara.csv and found it, saved to my PC to be prepared. My idea was that I'll replace Energy's audiopara with this as a try if things go bad but I had no luck because - like Artemis - Energy doesn't have this file in \Windows or anywhere else.
As I had to flash something to use the phone I decided to try something new: I flashed HD2O's v22. Not really the thing I planned because I don't really like WM6.5.x but otherwise it's a surprise! Lightning speed, HTC Messaging is pretty usable and fast and have the best audio quality I've ever had on HD2 so it seems like I stick on that.
Then again I can state that Energy's last ROM is unusable this way, either it is a bug or they overadjusted something.
Had a look on my older 23699 Energy build & it has no audio para file so that seems normal on these builds.
I have not experienced sound issues on any HD2 we have on energy ROM & audio quality seems fine, no staff have complained either ...
Maybe an issue linked to HSPL & radio or Energy ROM flavour of build you use.
Had a search in the Energy ROM thread too but found nothing much relevent to this issue.
Hope the HD2O ROM stay good for you ...

Sadly no. After some weeks of usage problems started to appear, for example disabled vsync caused terrible tearing in Sense and in Opera (only sometimes, otherwise no). Cooked in uTask caused sense to stuck at "Launching Sense..." forever at bootup, also Opera stuck at its splash sometimes, etc. So I went back to Artemis, now with the latest v72 but the usual annoyances are still there, for example permanent "Bluetooth on." message in notifications causes notification icons in the top bar to group so there is no missed call or new text icon just a generic "new someting happened". WM taskbar pops up every now and then when I touch the clock in the corner even if it is disabled in Artemis Center. Today I traveled by train in low coverage areas, listened to music while browsing the internet and every time I left coverage then when it came back I got a message window "Bluetooth stereo headset connected" (I used a wired earphone ). If I connect my car bluetooth when the phone is in vibrate mode the volume become a complete mess, nothing selected on HTC volume screen and in reality this means "Silent" no ring nor vibration appears on incoming call. Although I didn't try all the roms out there it seems there is no usable cooked rom for the HD2 and this is rankling. I'm on the edge of flashing back the stock 3.14 and apply all the tweaks manually I tried before with success.
Anyways after this amount of squawking... You mentioned you use a previous release of Energy and don't have audio problems. Could you give me the version number of it? Do the older Energy ROMs available anywhere? Or maybe do you have that image file? I could give it a try...

We use the 23699 as was best WM build for our use & loaded software.
Use it on over 20 work HD2 handsets & with a few tweaks & bit of cleaning here & there is a rock solid performer ... will upload the image for you to try ...

Thanks, I greatly appreciate your efforts! :good:

Refer to the NRG thread for HSPL/Radio version & install tips etc. We always do a hard reset after the flash as tends to reduces possible issues.
I would test your audio issue before installing & setting up the ROM too much as I have not seen your audio issue on any of our HD2s on this ROM !
With a little work this is a great stable ROM ...

Thank you sir, I tested it and I experienced the following: the audio issue is also there in this ROM but at a much much lower level, it is almost unnoticeable, I just hear it because my bad experiences with the latest Energy. Dinik's glass icons, keyboard, etc. is too much for me so after extensive googling I found the WM6.5 Standard version of the same Nov24 branch and it also seemed totally usable with good audio. But... in the meantime I read some other ROM's topic and found another promising one, CleanEX RV with 6.5 so now I'm testing that and put Energy as a 2nd best for spare. I'll see but I'm certain one of them will be my ultimate ROM. :good:

Have changed a lot of icons within the Dinik ROM & we use Finger keyboard due to wide amount of language support including a very good Thai keyboard layout plus layout etc is customisable but over all find the dinik skinning good.
Believe we have the NRG 28244 reference from March but no others.
All builds from Nov24 onwards had serious issues for us & we found just spending time to enhance the 23699 build best option. Hope one of the 2 works out well for you, have not used/tested CleanEx RV so will be interested in your remarks ...
