First of all, I want to say thank you to the people who have spent their time to get A2DP working. I'm sure it wasn't easy and your efforts are truely appreciated!
So I have been trying to get A2DP working smoothly on my SDA for several weeks now. It sounds great and it never skips if I have just done a soft reset. If I pause the music and try to resume later, a "skip" in the music stream develops. It does not seem to help if I restart the music player (tried WMP and TCPMP) or if I power cycle the headset or the bluetooth antenna in my SDA. I have tried several headsets, including the Motorola HT-820's, the Bluespoon Spider, and both the black and white pair of Logitech headsets. All of them have had a skipping problem, but they were also slightly different problems; the Moto's had a relatively infrequent skip occuring every 30 seconds to a minute, lasting 1-2 seconds. The Spiders skiped once every 10 seconds, lasting about 1 second. Both my Logitech sets skip every 3 or 4 seconds, but the skip only lasts for 1/4 of a second or less.
In the last 2 weeks, I have also recieved a new SDA compliments of T-mobiles warranty service and my results were similar with both SDA's. Other things I have tried:
- Hard reset, installing only Tornado_A2DP.cab and Tor_A2DP_cert.cab
- Hard reset, installing the cab file and the certs in opposite order
- Priority256, UseJointStereo, and BitPool reg hacks
- SurrealNetworks performance booster cab file
- Overclocking the CPU on my first SDA (don't want to try on my new SDA)
One odd thing which I have noticed is if I am navigating the menu on my SDA or even just using the joystick to select different items on my homescreen, the skip seems to stop. But it always starts skipping again once I am done playing with my phones menu.
I believe the only thing left to try is an AKU2.0 rom, but I don't want to void the warranty on my SDA yet. Does anyone have any ideas? Are their any different values I should try concerning the reg hacks? Is anyone running imate and qtek roms with the A2DP hack and experiencing skips? TIA
aku2 rom
Here is a link to the qtek8300 aku2 rom. I am using it on my qtek 8300, w/ the a2dp hack, no skipping problems. I am jealous that you have 2 SDAs, you suck. good luck, anyway.

Lol, I had to send my old SDA back. But I was able to experiment with both SDA's for a couple of days and they both had similar problems.
What kind of headset are you using? Do you have to set as wireless stereo everytime you want to listen to music, or do you just pair the headset and you're good to go?
hey, I tried the motorol HT820, and they were uncomfortable and had bad distortion. I returned those, and got a Sony HBH DS970, and they are very comfortable, and sound terrific (cheaper, also). AVRCP controls work with WMP. Hopefully, they will work w/ the new coreplayer, haven't heard anything about that.
Once the headset is paired it is ready to go, BUT, there is one issue. If a call comes in while listening to music, the call works fine, but when the call is over, the phone has to be manually switched back to 'set as wireless stereo'. IMHO, this has been a relatively minor inconvenience.
I also thought the ht820's were uncomfortable, but I never experienced the high pitch distortion that a number of people have been complaining about. Those sony's look nice, but i'm looking for an around-the-head style headset like the moto's or logitech's. That's good to hear the sony set works well, despite the call issue.
Thanks for the feedback

Strange one that... I have an O2 IQ (Tornado, I believe, although it may be an Innovation?) and after applying the A2DP_Tornado cabs all is well, I have had no skipping, calls work properly, WMP pauses playback on an incoming call and resumes once the call is dropped as it should...
I notice in the first post there was no mention of replacing the DLL's... you are replacing them right? And with something like Resco File Explorer or the like... using the default explorer may not actually replace the DLL's!!
Funny you mention that because I didn't install the DLL's the first time i did the hack weeks ago, but I have copied the DLL's to the windows directory the last several times I tried hard resetting and reinstalling. Also, those DLL's don't exist in my windows directory on my SDA, so my only option is to copy them to the directory.
So I just tried this hack again. Steps are as follows...
1. Hard Reset
2. Sync with my computer, copy DLL files to \windows\, soft reset
3. App unlock the SDA, soft reset
4. Run certs cab, soft reset
5. Run A2DP cab, install to device, soft reset
6. Sync with bt headset
I listened to music for about 5 minutes and it was crystal clear. Paused for 5 minutes and then resumed the music and it still skips Thanks for the suggestion, it was well worth trying.
Can someone explain what the SBC.dll file does? The readme in the a2dp zip file shows reg edits concerning the other 2 dll's, but it doesn't show a reg edit involving the SBC.dll file.
Activesync...
Not sure that copying the files over with active sync will work...
And without a 3rd Party explorer you won't see the dll's in ROM, because of this I don't think they will overwrite... an app like Resco File Explorer (or smartphone version of Total Commander if there is one) allows you to see all the dll's and overwrite them with no problems...
You won't get an error using the default explorer, it just won't update the files... one way to try it is to d/l the demo of Resco File Explorer (or get a copy by other means) and do it that way...

The "call issue" is particularly strange, because I didn't have it with the HT820s, only the sony headphones have that problem. I have read that other folks have also been having that issue w/ the sony headphones, so maybe it is specific to the sony bluetooth settings? Probably they rigged them so they would only work right w/ the Sony Walkman phones. anyway, I am still happy with them.

On previous attempts to make this hack work, I have used the stock file explorer, Activesync, and Total Commander to copy the DLL's. I just did a hard reset and copied the DLL's via Resco, installed the cabs and the skip is still there
On a side note, I looked in the windows directory using Resco before I copied the DLL's and the 3 DLL's were not to be found in my ROM prior to copying them. :shrug:

When I installed, file transfer over activesync worked fine. What are you doing about the registry edits? I know that there have been some cab files claiming to do them automatically, but when I installed, I just typed them in using a registry editor. If you didn't enter them manually, maybe you might want to check to make sure that they have been modified as they are supposed to be.
Ya, I've seen the A2DP_improve.cab file, but I haven't used it. I have been manually entering the reg edits via Total Commander. The priority256 edit is supposed to fix the skip problem, but it isn't doing the trick for me. I've been entering 60 as the dword value, but is there a different value I should try that might be more effective?
Curious. I just followed the instructions on kyungas original post, which had a number of "dword" values. I have no clue at all what any of them means or does, but none of them are set to 60.
The Priority256 key isn't noted in kyungas first post. This key is a claimed to be an improvement hack noted in this thread...

Well, i finally broke down and installed the latest i-mate ROM. My skipping problem has disappeared, the interface is much better, and my phone is definitely running faster. I may have voided my warranty, but i'm a much happier camper now.
Thanks to everyone who tried to help me with the skipping problem on the stock ROM, your input was greatly appreciated.
I was messing around with my Cingular 3125, trying to get TomTom 5.21 installed on it - and I finally did. The problem is that any time I try to install something by running a .CAB file after that brings up a screen that says Installing TomTom Navigator.CAB and has the little spinning thing (hourglass you know what I mean) and it sits forever.
I tried to look around on the phone and in the registry for a location that might be calling this file but I can't find it anywhere. I have soft reset the phone several times since then and it still comes back no matter what I do. I don't want to hard reset right now...
Is there somewhere else that I can look for whatever is calling this .CAB file?
Thanks!
check out this guide,some valuable info,it might give solution for your problem

I checked that thread out and I looked in most of those places. I did not drill down every CLSID key but I looked everywhere else and did not find it.
Basically I am stuck in that any .CAB I go to load now, I get that TomTom.CAB installing thing and it never goes away and no .CAB files load.
Any other ideas?
I solved it!
I found a shorcut to WCELOAD.EXE in the Windows\Startup folder. I did some research on it and decided to move it out of there. I reset the device and it's gone.
Thanks.
I have created my first ROM using Alex's tutorial and after several attempts, there a number of recurring problems that I cannot seem to solve. First, everytime the Kaiser performs a reset, it never starts back and I end up having to do a soft reset. A notable example of this is after windows does the initial customization or when the Kaiser attempts to reset after installing a .cab that requires it. Secondly, the bluetooth explorer never seems to work. I'll tap the icon and I see the wait screen icon but nothing happens. Next, I cannot get two cabs properly configured into package, the Vista Cube (made by Poorly Duck) and the second being HTC Action Screen. The Package Builder gives a registry error for the Vista Cube and a .DHM error for the latter. If it would help, I can post up the exact messages given for the aforementioned programs.

Might be easier to compare your packages with a known good one, or just replace the "broken" one with the working one, if you'd prefer.
I've attached the Bluetooth Explorer and HTC New Action packages from Alex's kitchen below. I've used both and they definitely work. I've also attached the HTC New Action package with the graphics modified to PoorlyDuck's Vista theme, again I've used this and I know it works too.
Good luck.
Thanks, Ill download these and post the results back soon. BTW, is there anything I could do for the problem of the kaiser not wanting to turn back on after it is reset. For example, after windows does the "3 second customization thing" after a fresh install and then resets, my kaiser never turns back on. (I end up having to do a soft reset) I noticed that I never had this problem with the original stock ATT ROM but experience this problem with HTC based ROMs or many cooked ROMs.

There was one ROM released that had a reset-bug which sounds like the one you're referring to - look out for any ROM based on the 3.03 WM6.1 ROM (all others should be OK - such as 3.02 and 3.08).
EDIT-
Upon spending some time analyzing why the Vista Cube wont work, I narrowed it down to the registry file (.rgu) I looked at the errors and pinpointed them down to "Param"="-service """Activesync" and "Param"="-service """SMS". I removed the -service with a "NULL" and the package worked fine. Is there anyway to correct it without changing the paramaters to NULL. The only solution that I could think of was to create the packages using the "NULL" paramater and then after flashing, going into the registry and changing them back to their original settings. But as many others have cooked the Cube into their ROM, I'm sure there's another solution. Can anyone guide me in the right way. Sorry for all the questions X_X
I have WM6 running on a HTC Trinity (the Orange SPV M700 variant) has been wonderful for over a month now, last night I reset it cause I hadn't in ages and it was getting all bunged up and slow, when it came back everything just stopped working.
Touchflo, HTCHome, all the stuff i had running on startup instantly blasted errors at me, and all the applications i have installed wont run, including .cab installers..
The error is:
"The File [File name] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
I'm not one of these idiots who just panicks and complains about a problem, i've searched google a lot, found that its probably the 'security configuration' and found a program that should be able to change it, only, it can't connect to it properly through activesync, i assume because of the same thing. I would just wipe it clean, even re-flash the ROM if i had too, but I want to back everything up first with something like PPCPimBackup which has worked wonders in the past, only, I can't run the executable...
If it really comes down to it i will just manually backup my contacts list and suffer the other losses, but i'm sure there is some genious on these forums who has a magic sollution..
Always keep in mind, it's called a Pocket PC, because it's just like a PC. So from here on out, be sure to reset daily, it's quick and can help over a long run. As far as it not running now (don't know if you have fixed it yet) but try another reset, sometimes when there are too many startup apps, it can cause some chaos and certain apps won't run. Or try uninstalling the apps not working and reinstalling after a reset, after the uninstall.
Also, always a great idea to backup.
I would like to think i'm pretty good with computers, if this happened on my laptop or desktop I'd be able to find the registry values or find a program to change them for me to stop it blocking the apps from running.
Trouble is, I can't run the PPC version of RegEdit because it is blocking EVERY .exe, If it wasn't PPC i'd boot it up in safe mode, using all the default values, but there isn't on in WM6 by default (to my knowledge anyway)
I've reset many times and nothing changes, turned it off, even taken the battery out just in case it made a difference.
I think i'm going to have to do a hard reset and suffer the losses..
Sometimes a hard reset is the only solution.
Saw this in a signautre from NiteStalker, both hilarious and true, "If knowledge is counted in Hard Resets, I must be a genious!"
Hello,
No matter what application I would try to install, it would fail right away. I thought that maybe the last application I installed was the problem, so I went to uninstall it from the settings menu. When I got to the Remove Programs list, it was empty! I cannot install or uninstall applications!
The last program I was able to install was this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3646
Can anyone help me fix this, or will I need to hard reset?
I gave up and just did a hard reset.

i have same problem, i do tweak registry settings, but haven't for about 2 weeks before this problem happened. tried to use sktools to uninstall programs, but same result.
any suggestions? i do have a registered install of sktools for smartphone.
btw, im using a BJII with 6.1
Also, just realized i cant access the "about", "Accessability", or "owner info" info in "settings", it gives me "ERROR The settings could not be opened"
however, "version" and some others in the "settings" menu work fine (i haven't gone thru and tested all of them)
I have already performed a couple soft resets, with no change. seems like something pretty basic is F'ed. any ideas would be appreciated, i am planning to hard reset tonight if i dont get this taken care of...... So so much to re setup/install.... :-(
i did a hard reset, reflashed my bjII to the most recent 6.1 ROM. and now it is doing the same thing AGAIN!.
i have done no registry mods besides unlocking the keys ATT tries to restrict for their ghey medianet/cellularvideo links. and that has NEVER caused any issues before.
i Have installed:
NETCF3.5
Live Search
LEDAlertsSP
GoogleMapsMobile
Resco Explorer
Opera
SKTools
Increase Ringtone size to 25mb
the only app i haven't tried before is Twikini (a twitter app) it seems to work perfectly, but it is the only thing i have not had on my phone for an extended period of time.
Anyone with advice on how i can go about finding out what the real issue here is please lemme know.

Hello I think it wasnt necessary, I had the same problem twice, and flashed it again, and restored the rom and it keeped on non working. So the first thing i did was to unmount the sd card and mount it again and it worked for a while.
Afterwards I format microSD card- FAT32, other guy wrote in a forum with 4096.
here is the link hope it works for you
