[Public Beta] Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.1

Ok, I'm posting this in its own thread as people seem to have missed my post earlier today as it got buried in the Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 thread:
I've uploaded a test rebuild (couldn't sleep last night and was up early this morning). This is version 1.7.1 . The differences to 1.7 are:
A lot of the compression I did in 1.7 has been removed
Adobe Reader Removed due to the compression on other things making the rom too big
AltTab added and is mapped to the Comm key (this should fix the problem with Voice command people complained about).
Now built with the Core Kitchen
A few other things that I don't remember now
People that have had the dialpad issues in the 1.7 release are what this is really aimed at. If 1.7 was working for you, then stick with that version (unless you need to have a flash "fix" ). I've flashed 1.7.1 to my phone and so far it seems fine, but I really haven't tested it much, so consider this a public Beta. [Edit... Been on my device all day today and so far no issues that I've seen, but then 1.7 was fine for me too...]
I reserve the right to pull this off of RapidShare if I find something I don't like or if others find the keypad issue still exists (I'll post if I do this). Please do NOT MIRROR this without my permission as this is NOT an official release but one I'm trying to see if it fixes the issues with 1.7 that some have had.

Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.1
Please post feedback in this thread. I want to see if the keypad issue is gone now (mainly).
.

The new version is brilliant. I'm loving it so far.
Thanks man.

Does it Have Pocket Outlook?
If it doesn't how do I add it back. Ta, Rin.

Wise choice with the kitchen lol
Thx for mentioning. It makes me proud to hear/read that
I hope it didn't gave you any more trouble.
Did you already started to modify it not to use default install ? Cos if you didn't i'd suggest to wait a day at most ..i am trying to rebuild it. That thing bothers me too.

Running smooth!
I really liked the reloaded 1.5, was running the reloaded 1.7 version, liked it a lot exept the comm button and some OS stalls.
Flashing the 1.7.1 version now and will let you know how it's going in this threath. Also curiuos how the core kitchen is doing
After 30 minutes flashing I killed the shelltool. Since the phone seems stuck I gave it a soft reset and it booted with WM6 splash screen referring to farias rom. Gave it a factory reset and it seems working. Don't have acrobat so I asume it's the 1.7.1 version. Will start working on it now.
Weatherpanel, cybercom voice dialing, tomtom all running smooth. Some little tweaks (I changed under HKLM\SoftwareMicrosoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings the key "Bitpool" and MaxSupportedBitPool to "40" decimal for my Jabra 620) and no problems sofar. Now do some VOIP settings. It never worked, now it's time to get it working on my private asterisk
Ok, working on with the new Beta rom I had some stalls (Three). Green light blinking only no responsive power button. After a reset I repeated my actions before the stalls only I couldn't reproduce it. Since about twelve hours of usage no problems

Mirror the download, please
Can someone mirror the download to some where else? Rapidshare is SUCK.

Flashed it 30 minutes age, installing soft right now, and everything seems to be ok. I had problems with dial pad in 1.7, but in this its ok. Will post in case of any issues

Thanks for that mirror, but nobody else mirror this for now. I'll wait a day or so for reports of problems then decide if its the final version.
If you flash this and it works fine, please post that. If there are problems with the rom, please post those.

testing new version... no probls found...

Same here, just flashed it and testing now. So far the dialpad issue looks to be resolved. Not certain yet, will post problems that occur.

Nice rom
fast and easy to use
BUT...
I think i have a pb with my battery
lose 5% by hour ... is it normal?
ps : but all is perfect

I just had time to come back to XDA since I loaded CBR 1.5.
I have had the dialpad issues in 1.5 and thought it was just additional software I added. The device didn't lock up and all other functions worked.
The solution I found that worked was to pull the battery for one minute, then do a soft reset once it booted up.
Will load 1.7.1 tonight.
Thanks and keep up the good work!!!

You had dialpad issues with 1.5??? Nobody has ever reported that (that I remember), and 1.7.1 is directly built off of 1.5 (thats before I used compression or anything. 1.7.1 does use compression on a few things, but very minimal compared to what I did with 1.7). While there were definetly dial pad issues in 1.7, I think if you did have dialpad issues in 1.5, it truely was due to 3rd party apps, or tweaks on your phone.
Please report back how 1.7.1 works for you. Overall I'm happy with it, but I felt 1.7 was actually a faster rom than this one (there are times this one feels slightly slugish in places and I may have to turn on overclocking (where I never considered overclocking 1.7)).
So far 1.7.1 is looking good (but so did 1.7 for about 24 hours). I may make this an official release as is if I don't hear anything before tomorrow evening.

I am running version 1.7 but the battery life on this build is superb. Today I only made one call, left push E-Mail on a turned WiFi on and off a few times. After 13 hours I was down to 98% ! This is with a one month old battery.
How old is your battery ? Mine started to fail after 14 months.

i have not had any problems yet. It's great! will let you know a few days if I ran into any problems.

Voice command issue is it gone?
Hi mfrazzz,
Thanks again for another new version.In the previous version I reported one issue with voice command. Is that resolved in this version.
Issue was the voice command could not be activated using bluetooth headset. I have seen the keypad issue in 1.7 and sometime few error messages as well.

There was no issue with Voice Command and BlueTooth headset in 1.7 that I know of. I have a Plantronics Voyager 510 BT headset and a Bluespoon Spider stereo (A2DP) BT headset, and both pair up fine, and both control Voice Command fine for me. I know others using 1.7 and BT headsets worked fine with Voice Command for them also. It could be an issue with your headset and WM6, 3rd party software, or something else.
The only Voice Command issue I know of in 1.7 was that there was a button mapped by default that wouldn't work properly. I fixed that so that the Voice button (Button 4, upper right side of phone) now maps to AltTab app. AFter you install Voice Command it will map to your Messages button (button 1), but thats how Microsoft installs it, not my doing. You can then redo the buttons in Settings > Buttons and you are good to go (although I really like AltTab now, so I left it on Button 4 and only use Voice Command via my BT headset).

i had problems with 1.7...in that i the dialpad keys disappeared after first flash. i did a clear storage (1234, etc) and the dialpad came up. flashed this version (downgraded to official t-mobile 2.26, as I always do first) and i don't seem to have the same problem. everything was in working order the first time around. the rom actually feels a bit faster than 1.7. thx.

[Issues] Open Touch v4.0 | WM 6.1 | T-Mobile Wing!

Folks,
I'm starting this new thread since the release one is getting way too big to manager.
Please start posting issues related to my rom here, make sure they are actual issues and not user error.
Regards,

Windows Live / Hotmail Problems
Does anyone else have problems getting Windows Live to sync your hotmail? I finally got it working with the push support, but it does not allow me to download attachments. Anytime I try to download an attachment it says failed to sync. I've tried the 3 latest versions available from this board and none of them seem to work. I've also tried these combinations with both versions of biggy 4.0 to no avail. With open touch 3.0 (Windows live biggie) the Windows Live service was working perfectly. I can't imagine that having windows live built into the Rom was what made the difference. Any one have any ideas? If this is simply an unfixable bug do you know if the gmail imap works like a push client? I tried to configure gmail, but it wouldn't allow anything quicker than a check every 5 mins.
Once again thanks ttran for your hard work in creating this great rom. Without it I'd probably be an iSheep by now.
thanks in advance

Not sure if this is an operator error or the rom error but I installed the Black Dialer from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1649317&postcount=1
I followed the instructions and did a soft reset, after that the Micro v4.1 run really sloooow. I have to perform a hard reset and reinstall all the other cabs.
So is it because I installed the wrong dialer cab or is it something wrong with the Micro v4.1? Whatever reason is I hope this is a good info for other ppl, too.
Other than that the Micro v4.1 run amazing fast and I do miss the black dial from the Lite Black version

high pitch noise comming from the speaker after flashing the rom

Using battery status?? I get the noise while using the cpu scaler UNDERclocking below 149. If it annoys you that much raise your min to 149. Otherwise, just try setting different processor speeds...dont over do it, see if that doesnt help.

ttran...I finally resolved my problem with Pocket Nester! Turns out it was user error... I had the files on my storage card in My Documents instead of having them at the root level. I noticed that it was seeing some of the folders on the storage card but none of the ones in My Documents. I moved them to the root of the storage card and it works!

since there is talk about the dialer i thought i would ask... in OT Biggy 3.0 the dialer had buttons that were quite large.
in this version the dialer is alot better, because it has the contacts built right into it at the top. however there is alot of space between the buttons, making them too small for my fingers.
is there a skin that just makes the dialer buttons bigger without downgrading back to the 3.0 version?
great work ttran, i am running 4.0 biggy w/ cube... just fyi and no issues thus far (only been testing for 2 days though)

Radio issue?
I'm not sure if this is a radio issue or something else, but here goes.
I flashed the lite black rom late last week.
I've been running a BT GPS for a while now with this phone. I've had my BT headset paired as well. I can use both at the same time. Monday, while talking on the headset, it just ended the call spontaneously. A few minutes later, after getting a call back on, it just ended the BT portion, and I had to actually pick up the phone (Horrors!)
Today, the cell phone side seems to be having troubles. (I've not tried the BT headset again, but still running the GPS) Several times I have had a "!" next to the phone icon in place of a signal strength meter... no signal or some error. I've had connection errors with the GPRS as well.
I may try out the micro with the newer radio in it, or look more into flashing an older radio version on here.
Let me know if you need any more details.

Hi,
I'm aware of the issues with the current radio, that why I posted the old radio and splash from v3.0.
Please go back to the first page of the actual release page for v4.0 to download it.

The dialer I used for v4.0 is different than any others. I did not include it in the micro since there are so many people with different wants and needs.
Some dont like the color of the dialer, some don't like the way the buttons are too small, and etc.
Thus I just plan left it out, so you the user can install a different dialer on top of the existing one.
But I think the one you try to use does not work correctly as a cab.
I've tested the micro version by installing different dialers with success.
I will try and locate a similar dilaer to mine or just create a cab for you folks as soon as I get some free time.
I still need to post different colors for the back ground as well.
Been busy working on my personal rom which will be for version 5.0 and the other versions of 4.0.

i'm using OT 4.0 biggy vista and everytime I set the backlight option to turn off after 3 minutes instead of 30 seconds and the power to turn off in 5 minutes instead of 2 as soon as the power goes off and I turn it on it's right back to 30 seconds and 2 minutes. This ain't a major issue it's just a pain in the ass cuz i'm using slide to unlock and evry 30 seconds I have to keep unlocking it.

I personally like it that way better, That way the HTC task manager and the OK button dont overlap and creat confusion. Instead, I use Quickmenu since that has it's own task manager. It shows you what's running and you can close them as well using Quickmenu.
Take a look into it

Yes you're right. I had to hard reset the Wing since that Black dialer doesn't have the removed option. Well it's a learning experience for me too. And fortunately that v4.1 is UC, all I need to do is remove those cabs from the SDConfig.txt file and re-run it again and voila all the cabs I need is back on the Wing.
Can't wait till you post the cab for the dialer.
So far I love the Lite Black but I like the speed on the Micro better. That's why I try to get the Micro as much closer to the Lite Black as possible.
1 more thing I notice on the Micro, after installed "JUVS HTC Home.v2_1_1005722_s0" cab sometime when I switch back to the home the area where the HTC Home should be got "scramble" for about 2 sec. I still try to duplicate it and report back. It already happened to me 2 times today.

now people have to read 2 threads for 1 rom....... mhhhhhhh.

Just can say Thanks for your great rom.!
It runs perfect..

Download:jMod FroYo SDK Port

Wow, that was fast... downloading to give it a try
€: Funny thing. Installed, configured apn started browser, went to my favourite tech news site for testing -> Big headline: No Froyo update for G1
I think for a few hours porting time it is quite good. Sure, a lot of things don't work yet, but its much smoother than I imagined.

Yea so far it boots up and it just loaded up for me

Its not even that slow......transitions are nice but desktop scrolling isnt that good =)

I'm currently testing one with Gapps. if it works, I'll have it up in a few minutes

That was answered many times in different threads: seems Flash requires new Market app and we don't have it yet.

I would also be glad to test, PM me. I would love to show off FroYo!
Plz work together!
If you both work on this together then we will have a working FroYo twice as fast, it would be tons of fun to beat the Nexus One to FroYo

I flashe this on the g1 2.22.23 image and it works fine u could even say its a little faster just thought I would input my discovery great work on the fast port to the g1!

the google apps?

Jit seems to be disabled, am I Right?
Linpack ~1.7 MFLOPS
dalvikvm -help says nothing of jit
Really looking forward to a more advanced build. Thumbs up for this alpha release it makes you want more froyo.

1. Setup Wizard is part of GApps, which we don't have.
3. Did you read the first post?
4. It's a rough port from a device that doesn't have radio, I would expect that (The first post says "should", not "is").
5. Hasn't it always done that?
7. The Emulator doesn't have an ACTUAL sdcard, so this should be expected.
9. See 4.

ChiefzReloaded has gotten Gapps and a different kernel running on his:

[Q] Hardreset to fix unreliable push notifications thirdparty apps?

My push notifications from thirdparty apps and live tiles stop working very regularyly which is a shame since the platform heavily depends on this.
It fails to open a channel etc.
Is microsoft fixing this bug in the os? Since now they say yeah just do a factory rest and it should be fine. But i dont wat to lose my settings.
And a restart temporarely fixes it but after an hour or so its terrible again.
or are the ms servers just over crowded already? I dont like apple but my dads iphone just kept working while mine stopped receiving the toasts

Toasts and tile updates come from the app developers servers, so depending on the platform they use there may be some down time. The Beezz twitter client occasionally stops working, but it's a free app and not ad supported so we should be lucky it has toasts and tile notifications at all.

not really since tested with the same apps at the same time. Its probably because it goes to the ms servers and fails to deliver timely. Also the unable to open a channel is not related to their servers i believe? Its related to a channel not able to open on the ms servers. Downtime should probably be equal when using the same apps on ios and wp7 sending out to each other, the messages do get delivered in app just no or really really delayed notifications. Like 20 minutes and then it just works normal for a while.. Then stops again. Other than this i really like the platform.
So i wonder does anybody else experience trouble? And which is the program you use which seems to be stable all times?

I'm experiencing the same troubles on my omnia 7.
Following programs do have some problems:
-Fim: Unable to open the channel - push notifications don't work anymore.
-TextMe: Push Notifications sometimes work - but with a delay of approx. 20 minutes
Following programs don't have any problems:
-Hotmail
-Messenger by Miyo
----------------------------------------
This is really annoying - since a "usual" restart of the device doesn't help, i think i will have to do a hard reset (i wonder if this will help at all). But i don't want to lose all my settings, installed applications, short messages etc. So this really is a PITA.

hardreset, would that really help? I think it wont really help. I have the same phone same apps and same problems also with tigertext send to wp7 and notes to tile.
i dont have the time and or want to hardreset. It might be a driver thing with the 3g etc. If nobody with other phones is experiencing this. I think hardreset changes nothig and will return to same behaviour. I will hardreset when the update comes or see if this will fix it.
20 Minutes is just strange conpared to instant on iphone and happens a lot

Did a hardreset. Tested the push again, ait a damn thing changed besides that I lost all my settings and stuff. Its just not working right. And probably a samsung driver or a ms server/os issue....
Does nobody else experience push notification downtime? Or delays? It's just not the way it should work. IM apps and Text replacement apps can never work properly in the background with these delays...

@Marvin_S which apps, specifically are you having trouble with? It could very well be that the developers servers have been down or slow.
I haven't had any Live Tile problems that couldn't directly be traced back to either the app dev's server or the way they've implemented notifications. Not on my Omnia 7 nor the HD2. Afaik, and I'm pretty sure I'd have heard about it - the wife's Omnia7 is doing just fine also. Have you tried flashing the new updated ROM? That seemed to fix a bunch of data issues.
Oh, as for the 20 minute thing, I've never seen this. Beezz for example notifies me (via toasts) in about a second or so.

Beezz has never worked for me. I always get an error whenever I try to enable push. The same happens for GReadie. I get a fail to open channel error. The weatherbug app also stopped working.
Right now my HTC hub live tile works. Its the only 3rd party live tile app I use.

Well I seem to be running the latest version pre-installed by samsung... i asked in the omnia7 forum what kind of rom I was running.
Well the thing is, it builds up all the notifications and than releases them all after each other 20 minutes later.
Basically these apps: Textme and tigertext (which I tried later to see if it could replace textme, very kind and responsive developers btw)
Also send to wp7, which often than comes up with the failed to open channel stuff.
If this rom should rely fix it, then I will just reflash it eve though its exactly the same rom... I think it has something to do with losing 3g+ signal, or wifi drops.
I'm testing the reliablility heavily since I such problems by sending constant test messages to myself (or to the echo server) the messages are received fine, but the toast is so unreliable.
Can you maybe type the versions of your firmware so I can compare it with mine? Because its for sure not an app problem since the messages all come later from diffrent apps. My test flow is like this: Open app, send message, close, send message with the second app, close and than wait. If it takes to long, open app again, resend. Sometimes it works quite right for a while, than teribly bad.
And note that I'm from a crowded area with lots of cellphone towers and have also good wifi coverage in the places I tested it. Same apps on the iphone work without problems, I compared side by side as well.
So it might just be my omnia, thats why I would like to hear which versions you are running. Since hardreset did not change a thing, I'm starting to believe its or a driver problem or ms-servers are overcrowded. I would like to try beez and see if its diffrent, however I dont havee twitter and i guess its required.

I don't think the newer ROM from Samsung fixes anything, because i installed it. Version 2424.10.11.1
but perhaps the region affects this problem, e.g. North-American Azure-Servers work fine while European Servers are struggling.
I personally have massive problems with push notifications since monday or so, and it's really starting to pi** me off!

Hard resetting idny going to fix anything permenitly because it is not the phone it is the apps just gotta wait for and update to fix

Weird. I'm using Beezz, SendToWP7, uController, eBay, Weatherbug and probably a few others using toast and/or live tile notification. Beezz server seems to go down every so often, but both uController and SendToWP7 notifies me real quick.
I'm running the latest Omnia 7 ROM as people said it was slightly faster and had a better data connection - that said, I was entirely happy with the phone even before updating.

I did a hard reset/reinstall of my apps and such, I'm still having intermittent push problems with some apps, and with others the push won't work at all. I will say that it seems to be the same apps having the same problems, and the ones that always have worked (weather bug) still work.
I'm thinking (hoping, praying!) this is a problem simply because of the infancy of the OS...I remember the first iphone, which I bought on day one, had all sorts of problems and "gaps" in technology

oKe im running the latest rom since the beginning. Created fake twitter account sended a ton of messages. Crap as hell, very unreliable and today i was not able to load fb app data on 3g full bars. So it can be a phone problem on drivers with data over 3g, while 3g+ works fine. Probably euopean servers are overloaded than. Does changing my location from USA based (im dutch) To germany change the servers as well? Bc germany is much closer thus more reliable?

this is not the case, read my post. Has nothing to do with the apps since ALL apps behave like this, it has nothing to do with the apps itself but probably slow ms servers. So no this is really an os or server or device firmware problem and not an app. Since all notifications come at the same time all after eachother highly delayed.

Apps have own servers they Sony go threw ms os is not mad for apparently apparently are made for os if apparently no work on os they need update

its not the problem of the apps! Since all apps fail at the same time to update. This is no coincidence, only a restart or waiting will solve this and than all notifications not yet delivered by multiple apps come at once! Now tell me how this is an app poblem,its the phone who is not able to receive the push even on wifi. The apps do deliver, but there is a huge delay even with beez which i checked with fake twiter account.
Every once in a while the phone just fails to receive any data based push notifications! All of them. While i do have wifi and or 3g. On 3g+ it seems to be more stable.
This could be europe related or omnia related. And narrowing this down will help dtermine the issue, since the apps are not the problem. These work fine for the others...

It is neither Europe or Omnia related as I'm using the 16GB Omnia7 in Europe (slightly north of you) at the moment without fail.
If it really is all apps, I would suggest there is a problem with your data connection - are you able to browse the web properly and without pages having to reload or taking a long time to open? If not, make sure you are indeed within range of, either, 3G/HSDPA or WiFi - if you are, and it works fine on another phone/laptop I would say you have a hardware fault and need to take the device back for a replacement.

Several things to be aware of with live tiles and notifications.
I am a developer of a few apps and offer push notification and live tile updates i have done alot of testing and know the ins and outs of this..
1st there is a such thing of the phone not being able to "open a notification channel" and Hard Reset is the only way to correct this.
2nd it is possable that the app developer side to also be the problem not sending because of their service going down server problems etc.
3rd when your batt. get to be less than 1/4 percent the notification service shuts down on the phone and you will not recieve updates. once the batt is above the 1/4 percent the service will then start working again.
4th sometimes the push service is delayed due to MS.
Hope this helps to better understand.
My Apps
World Weather (Live Tile)
TV Show Alert (uses Push Notification)
To Doos (Comming soon Push, Live Tile)

Flash something else more stable that better suits your needs for now. This rom is still a work in progress. There will be a few hiccups from time to time. Wait for the next update

Yeah me too, I'm in the process of sending logs to developer. So I went back to 20151222 until problem analysed/resolved.

Bumping the **** outta this. Same issue on a build one year later (Cm13 Oct 01/2016 Celox). Contacts and phone stopped working. So I replaced them with Google's AOSP variants from the play store. At that point, the phone reboots when I try to call. The 3g works wtf...
Edit:
Yes, this was sent from my SGH-I727R by I'd rather be making calls with this. Also, incoming calls work. Just outgoing is the issue. Can't be my radio, right? Cm11 or 10 whatever it was worked flawlessly on the same one.
Edit2:
Ok, so after jerking around the apps, disabling/re-enabling the system dialer, etc., I received a call from my friend. At the point, all four soft keys stopped working while the calling issue completely fixed itself. After a reboot, the soft keys and the calling work flawlessly 0.0
Typical Android issues...
Although my friend is complaining about some beeping noise coming from my end during a call. Will look into it.
So current fix (for now): disable/re-enable the inbuilt contacts and dialer apps, reboot, enable them, clear their data, cache, whatever it takes, etc. Keep doing so until it magically fixes itself. Maybe try getting a buddy to call you and pick up. That is all I can think of in order to reproduce such weirdness :/

I don't think anything will really work in cm now because it's now discontinued and function will not work Cyanogen Account, etc. I also think it's modems stopped working... see here:Click Here
