Extended Rom on Hermes - General Topics

Has anyone been successful in getting the extended rom hack to work on the Hermes. The CAB file i downloaded and ran said sucessful but I still cannot see it in my explorer. Has anyone tried themanual registry hack?

Try this, it works on mine.

How can the Extended ROM then be protected again ?

Try this registry hack to hide the Extended ROM again, haven't tried it, but just messed around with the cab a little bit and found this:
Code:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Drivers\MSYSEXT
"Background"=0x0 (0)
"Foreground"=0x0 (0)
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV
"MountHidden"=0x1 (1)
Let me know if it works

Problems with Extended ROM
Okay guys I have looked all over for a solution to my problem. A few days ago I tryed updating my ROM. I had a crash and thought I almost lost my TyTN. I was able to recover from Bootloader and save it some what. I can now update the ROM but every one I use does not allow me to see the extended ROM whether I use the program or the reg. Hack. Any advice on were to look or any Idea on what to do?

pof how can i do with wm6
thanks

Let's all try to fix the charging issue..

... since this problem is bugging us with aku3.x and crossbow roms.
Especially with the crossbow rom, this seems to be the only problem. The other issues are already fixed, or are easy to get fixed (since they have already been fixed in earlier roms).
In addition to this, I think that if we work together we have greater chances of solving this frustrating issue.
So this is what I have tried (with no success):
1) replace the battdrv.dll with one from a prophet
I get the common result where the device will charge only when you softreset with the cable inserted. You also get a square in the "Model No" in device information (Module address conflict?) Someone solved the square issue in an aku 3.x rom. I would like to know how it was fixed.
2) replace the battdrv.dll with one from an HTC artemis
No charging/status indication. Model No is reported as "WIZA200"
3) I unloaded camera and keyboard driver to see if there are any conflicts with them - no difference

A possible way is to write a wrapper for the batterydriver, which logs information and try finding the differences in pnp, etc.. between a working rom and a non working rom with the prophet-driver.
You could try following too:
- don't touch the batterydriver in original aku3-rom
- do following while device finished boot and os is running:
- copy battdrvr.dll from prophet and rename it to \windows\battdrvr_New.dll (into the new rom)
- change the registry-value HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\Dll = battdrvr_New.dll
- wait some minutes and do a softreset
-->it will not survive a hard-reset, but i guess this could solve module-overlapps..
hope this helps,

Thanks for the info.
I just tried it.
Result:
I get the square in the device info.
No charging/no battery status.
Strange isn't it? I wonder why the model no gets f**d up.
To my knowledge, "usbfn.dll" is involved as well, so maybe you gotta play around with that one as well...

i do agree.. don't know which dll's, but maybe there are more dll's used for battery..
There is a tool called depends or similar, which can figure this out..
depends is part of free eVC++ (\Program Files\Microsoft eMbedded C++ 4.0\Common\Tools\depends.exe)

great. i have some thoughts about the cause, but i don't have an verified explanation for the cause.
Actually i don't have enough time to do more investigation for... So i can explain what the cab is doing.
It's a very slight solution.
The cab creates a notification for the "Notification Broker", which in turn starts XDADev_BatFix.exe each time usb gets connected.
(That is there is no extra thread running, there is no dll loaded, there is no system service running and no extra resource needed. It is almost like before.)
XDADev_BatFix.exe does only set a PowerEvent and exits afterwards.
that's it.
Best regards,
ikarus
anyone sucess pls post...

It IS working indeed
This fix tested and working on Qtek S200! Its one of the 2,2 clean roms from a few months ago. The battery problem has been my biggest annoyance! Thanks!
I also tried XDADev_BatFix on my 818Pro with AKU3.3-Jester-b1 ROM.
Looks like it really solve the battery charge problem.
Thanks ikarus!
Worked
It Worked on I-mate JamIn, Thanks.

{To Fix} Another Lite Beta Rom based on Helmi_C aku 0.70

I have just finished a quick lite rom based on Helmi_ C AKU 0.70 rom which I find very stable even for a beta.
Everything Remains the Same apart from what I took out the rom which as follows:
1. Htc audio manager
2. HTC HOME Plugin
3. Office Mobile
4. OneNote Mobile
5. BT_FTP=1_2_30490_1
6. JbedJava_MIDP=0_0_20070726_1_1
7. HTC task manager
8. Voice Speed dial
9. WindowsLive
Rom is working fast with only one bug which i'm trying to fix which is:
After Flashing the rom and after configuration and reset the rom wont boot. But if you reset it before CONFIGURATION the rom works ok as normal. very strange.
I will try to fix it but I have got all the configuration cabs which can be install manual. These files are:
1. Configure_COMgr175.CAB
2. Configure_DDI171.CAB
3. Configure_GPS.CAB
4. Configure_Key.CAB
5. Configure_WLAN.CAB
6. WiFicountrycode.CAB
Total storage memory is 133.16 mb and free program is 74.15 mb
Cabs can be found in my thread which is located here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
Link>>> Rom has got more work to do will fix it as soon I got some more time.
Still a problem with configuration just soft rest before config starts.
Install config cabs below, enjoy
Thanks to POF and OLIPRO for all there hard work and tadzio with contributing in helping us with customising his tools so they can work for kaisers. And thanks to everyone who was helping with the kaiser project.
I will be making or modyfing roms as lite as possible which I think is the best way to go as programs gets updated regular.

Reservation for updates
cant wait for this lite rom! please dont forget to take out extra junk like windows update and windows live messenger. The more lite the better

helmi_c done a great job with the rom I didnt have to do nothing with it might strip it down further for who love ultr lite roms but not losing any stability of course
There is more work to be done on this rom
I realise there is more work to be done on this ROM. First I forgot and allowed the configuration to go on. So I had to reflash (forgot HR would do) and prevent installation of the configuration. I then installed the cabs posted, but device refused to boot after soft-reset
So I am back on Helmi's ROM.
Dutty, you must have removed the power icon in settings as I could not find it to see how much longer I could go on trying to revive my device without running out of power

same here I must have deleted something in the rom I also found huge battery drain my highly suspicions are one of the activation cabs is causing this.
Sorry guys my first rom didnt made it as yet will pull it down as i think its not stable.
Cheers
My apologies
I have taken down the rom found a huge battery drain in rom.
Well, I installed it and everything went okay. Installed the extra cabs and looked good. I wanted to try WisBar instead of the start menu app I'd been using before so installed their latest versions. Whoops that made a total mess of things, locked up at the end of install and still was locking up after soft resets. So had to hard reset and start all over again. I've not used this app before, so not sure if it was the ROM causing the problem or not.

Ah, okay, yeah I've continued to have problems with it, keeps locking up on me when doing a soft reset. So guess it wasn't wisbar that was the problem. I'll go back to the standard HTC Rom for now.
to moderators
Can you please close this thread as lite rom has been made by helmi so thus all support should be in that forum. thanks

Help after Rom Install

Hi everyone,
I installed a new rom from Helmi's .90 kitchen and everything works great, I strongly recomend it. One thing I have noticed is that I can not change the settings files for the programs that are installed via the kitchen. For instance I am trying to change the english.language.ini file for PocketCM but the file properties show that it is read only and (in ROM). Other programs do the same. I have tried to change the properties but it wont let me. I dont think it has anything to do with it but I do have the ext rom unlocked. Is this normal for ROM programs or am I missing something.
I have tried searching and have not come up with something so I dont know if this is something with me and my device. I have reflashed twice with the same effect.
I have an HTC Apache/XV6700
Thanks everyone, you guys are amazing. Timmay!!!

You can load and run again the original cab attached here.
You can do it from your sd but remember to install it on the device. Soft reset and ...done!

Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I can't install this Cab on my Polaris because the system inform me that this application isn't signed.
Any tips to bypass this problem ?
Thanks in advance
Try to install it when Polaris is not connected with pc.

But where was the problem???

Hey Guys!
After i read the post and updatetd my xda the QuickGPS Update runs like never before!
The O2 Germany Support was unable to fix my prob, so thanks to the Forum!!
Quick GPS
Same problem here, it works again, thanks!
Am i special?
Hey Guys...
I updateted the htc_quickgps.cab and restartet my device.
After one day the update ended with the old errormessage.
I dont know the reason, does anybody else?
best regards
Frank
btw:
I cant see any difference in the reg.-settings so i dont change anything
Quick GPS
Thanks a lot! I had the same problem and this solved it.
Hi,
I also had major problems with my QuickGPS (using a Polaris, which seems to be a little special in this concern).
After many days of research and finally a lucky hit at htc customer support I can tell you this:
You have to install some sort of navigation software, install a map, activate and soft reset before using quick gps the first time. if you dont, you screw up the registry and will always have problems with qgps!!
maybe some hints are helpful (they werren't for me), but I would not want to reinstall or change registry settings all the time.
Reason: The navigation software sets up qgps for its needs. qgps seems to be by far more than a simple download manager for ephemeris data. if you dont have a working navigation software, quick gps will start going wild
In case you will have problems later on: try uninstalling tomtom - soft reset - installl - soft reset and press thumbs
maybe a regular backup can help as well, we will see.
Wish you best of luck...
Thanks for cab, it works for me too !!

Only Bepe 0.67 fixed it for me
Hey Guys!
I flashed my Device with Bepes 0.67 and now the update is running witout any problems.
Once again thxs to bepe!

There's a very easy fix which works for me. I see this problem from time to time on my device too. I am still unable to trace the "bad" software which replaces this registry key!
Just import the attached registry file every time you see the problem is back

Leo Application Unlock

Hello, just received my HD2 ! But with trying to install some software, it mentions the certificates are not ok, so I cannot install. Is this the 'application lock' and how can I unlock it ?

Using a registry editor, set the following values:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"00001017"=dword:00000090
"00001005"=dword:00000028
"00001001"=dword:00000001
"0000101b"=dword:00000001
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
That should fix it... If the registry editor gives you an error, or you'd rather not use a registry editor, I can whip up a cab/program to do it.
Hm .... I tried that (with the old regeditSTG; but is not working very smooth) but still the same problem. I will try and install another regeditor, to see if that works ... Txs for quick follow up.
I tried it another time, but values seem to be correct now. Still have the application lock issue ... Would you mind making a cab, just to make sure ... ?

Unfortunately it is the Dutch version (that one arrived one week earlier here than the UK version), but after installing the software (which I used on my HD (with Dutty's Leo R7 and ALL earlier versions) and I need it to get my server ready for my work exchange server), it says (translated):
The file cannot be opened. It is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the components cannot be found. U have to install it again or repair it if the problem persists.

I think that's an issue with the cab/software rather than the certificates... Out of interest, what application is it?
If that would be true, I REALLY have a problem. It is not a 'known' software, I guess. It has been prepared by my company and I have to install it first before I can use our Exchange Server (through Domain Enroll). It is call gprschange.exe
It worked on all former HD Roms and on the XPeria. I will try to set up Exchange server without it. Hopefully it will work .... Will let you know ...
It is not working now ... I cannot connect to Exchange server ... I assume it cannot have anything to do with the 'Dutch' version ? That would be strange, right ? But I cannot understand it worked on all the HD ROM versions, and here it is not working .... And I was so happy I got the HD2 today and now it is not working (for me at least) ...
i don't know if you already have solved the problem, but in some cases, when a cab refuses to install on my tp2, i open it with the wince cab manager on the desktop, remove the setup.dll and repack it again. It might not make any sense at all, but at least you can try it to rule it out.
May be something related to old .net 2?
or have you updated to 3.5 already?
