ROM Development Problems

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

flashed with SNN ROM - problem with bluetooth and redial

hey guys.
i'm pretty new at this. i unlocked my phone way back over a year ago, but didn't do much other than add a bunch of programs and emulators. never flashed the rom....until yesterday night.
now i have IPL & SPL 3.08, Radio 2.71.11, OS 10.0.0.10 (i think) and flashed with SNN Diamond.
i'm having two problems (so far anyways):
1. bluetooth is not working right. i can connect to other phones. i can connect to the car bluetooth system and i can hear other people. but they can't hear me. this is a pretty big deal because i need to use bluetooth! how can i fix this problem?
2. this is not essential but it's annoying. when i hang up a call, i can't press "call" from the same screen (i.e. redial) because nothing will happen. it doesn't matter if i press the call button on screen or the actual hard button, the dialer wont call unless i go into phone book or history or otherwise enter the a number. just can't redial how do i fix this?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
1. Try using other bluetooth device and make sure it is working in other device. Make sure "Receive all incomming beams" is ticked ( i.e Go to Start Manu -> Settings -> Connection Tab -> Click Beam and tick "Receive all incomming beams" then OK )
2. Use phone canvas. I think it takes mode memory but it is very good.
See this link
Plz Reply
Thanks

thanks. got the bluetooth working now
now i'm trying to figure out how to use phone canvas 'cause it's installed but i can't find it anywhere
but now i dont have to remove this ROM
EDIT: so apparently my attempt at installing the skins from the link you gave me are not working (well, they dont show up) because i need to install phonecanvas first? i found the link on the forums and i'm trying to install the file but after taking a while installing it, it ends saying it was unsuccesful...can you help me with that?

Hi,
Go to this link ( by MBarvian ), download and install.
Make your uninstall all the dialer skins if you have installed any..
Bye 4 Now

well the problem is that file wont succesfully install.
i can't remove the dialer skin i have now because it was cooked into the ROM. there's no setting or option anywhere that i can find to remove it. frankly, i love the way it looks. so i'm going to stick with it for now and see if it's not totally unbearable.
if i see i really can't stand not being able to redial i'll get back to this thread. thanks for the help so far

Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe/repllog.exe/clocknot.exe

Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to find any type solution for online. I've seen a few suggestions for what can be done, but nothing that has seemed to solve this issue.
Randomly I will get the following errors on my Windows Mobile 6.1 Sprint HTC Touch Pro:
Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe
Cannot execute repllog.exe
Cannot execute clocknot.exe
These happen at random times, and I am running on the stock Sprint Rom with the Telus Radio. The only thing I could imaging that has caused this is the fact that a few weeks ago, I did have to do a restore of my device with SPB Backup. I hard reset the device, then I restored my full backup with SPB Backup using the Device Rom Upgrade option (Which doesn't touch some of the WM system files I guess). The restore went fine, but I believe this is when the errors started happening.
I've ran memmaid, and searched for duplicate's in the notification queue, I've also ran sktools, and used the clean function to see if that fixes it, but it hasn't.
What else do you guys think I should try to resolve this issue, short from doing a Hard Reset?

Try deselecting the automatic check on the time zone in the phone options. Seems to have worked for me.

worked
That worked thanks mmmennoo

I am having the same issue too. I just upgraded my Rom(Newest Final TNT, Not beta). Anyone know how I can stop these errors?

Call Announcement Working on MVC 1.6

Ok after I have installed all sorts of different versions and tried all the registry tweaks with no luck, i installed the following version. I also bought a version off of handigo and that was a waste of money.
The version I have installed that currently works is:
1.6.19965 (search for it and you will find it)
I am 99% sure I put all the registry tweaks back as when they didn't work I reverted them. Plus when you reinstall MVC it resets most of those anyway.
Another catch.. I am using a 6.5 ROM!! I have this ROM installed.
I am so excited, I depended on this feature a lot as I ussually have auto-answer set and then before the phone picks up I know who is calling. I can literally go the whole day without ever looking at my phone which keeps my phone lasting longer!!
Another catch that could be making it work is that I found a vlingo cab that installed and I couldn't get that to work so I uninstalled it. The vlingo uninstlall doesn't come close to removing everything as I found out when I went throught the registry.. So maybe something vlingo put in is making it work..(or something it replaced) If anyway is in the same boat I would be willing to help them do some steps that i did to find out exactly what is making it work, but I do not want to redo my phone to figure it out (sorry)...

Update
Redid my phone with the updated version of the rom that I previously mentioned and installed 1.6.19965 without any other tweaks and the call announcement works..

Touch screen causing me to answer/cancel calls when phone is in my pocket

I've had my Touch Pro for a while now but I've always had one problem with it that is pretty darn annoying, & that is that the phone seems to auto-unlock when I'm receiving calls. And so, many times the phone has answered the call in my pocket & I've had no idea. Or worse yet, it's cancelled the phone call without me getting round to even take the phone out of my pocket. I wondered if there was any fix for this.
I'm pretty damn sure that I've seen this problem before when roaming around here & PPCgeeks but after spending the past half hour or so trying to look for a fix, I just can't seem to find one. And so, I knew that if I just posted a thread that someone would most likely be able to help me & it'd all be alot easier than me spending all day trying to find whatever it is I need.
Oh, & before you ask, I've not got any custom ROMs or anything on my phone. I've installed apps from here, & some other stuff, but it's all just on the standard XDA Serra ROM.

you could install the Tachi dialer which gives a sliding mechanism if answering the phone
or swtich on auto lock after backlight dim

Free program called slide to unlock "s2u2" will work, also, you can download the program Advanced Configuration, and there is an option to allow the default slide lock that is built into windows mobile. The screen will still light up, but, unless you unlock the screen, it won't answer the call.

Advanced Configuration Utility Thread on XDA>>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

I tried the Advanced Configuration Utility program but whenever I try to load the program (obviously after installing it), I get an error message saying:
An unexpected error has occured in AdvancedConfig.exe.
Select Quit & then restart this program, or select Details for more information.
This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.

Clicking 'Details' doesn't seem to do anything, except give me the 2nd paragraph from above (about the .NET framework).
Where can download this ".NET Compact Framework", or does anybody know of any other programs/applications/utilities/whatever which can help me with this problem.
Oh, & yeah, thanks for the help guys.

Net Compact Framework v3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432470

Alright well I installed that & I'm still getting error messages when trying to load the Advanced Configuration Utility program. However this time instead I just get:
An unexpected error has occured in AdvancedConfig.exe.
Select Quit & then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

And then if I click Details I get:

So yeah, there's still some kind of problem. Though what it is exactly, I do not know.
