[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.

Garmin issues in cooked ROMs

I originally posted this in the thread for Dutty's 4/29 release, but I've since had it happen in other cooked WM6.1 ROMs so I figured it should be moved out to it's own thread.
When I try to start up Garmin (installs fine), I get the splash screen and then it completely quits before anything else shows up. A few other XDA members have mentioned that they don't have problems and pointed towards checking the software that I have installed. So I did a hard reset, installed Garmin first, and then tested it after every piece of software that I installed.
It worked fine everytime so I thought it maybe just needed to be installed first to workaround any other conflicts. I happily started setting everything else up thinking that I was good to go. After I ran KaiserTweak, Schap's Advanced Config, and changed some stuff in the standard settings options, I tested Garmin again. This time, back to the original problem.
The only setting that I can think of that should matter is aGPS, but that doesn't seem to make a difference and the program quits before it even makes any indication that it's ready to touch the GPS receiver.
I'm going to keep messing with settings and stuff to see what I can find, but I figured I'd document it here for anyone else as well as see if anyone has any ideas on what settings it could be.
This is really driving me nuts.

I am sending files right now.

Awesome. Thanks so much.
I'll try it out when I get home from work tonight and post back here.

Garmin Mobile XT version 4.20.50 is out
For those with Garmin Mobile XT, you can download the update from the Garmin website at
http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3389.
It does not have the voice, help or basemap files, so this will not help you if you are trying to warez the software. You must already be an owner.
This version works great with WM 6.1, as I travel frequently and it has not had a problem with any of the 6.1 ROMs I have tried.
Good luck!

Thanks.I just installed update over my previous version 4.20.30 and I can confirm that works just fine.

Just installed the updated version and I"m still having the same exact problem.

Actually, now about 10 seconds after it quits, I get an error message that pops up saying "Data type misalignment at Program addess 0x03F94E04 in background thread NULL (Main InitInstance)"
Didn't get that before.

Question to all Tomtom Users

Hi.
I have just installed Tomtom (vga-version) on my Touch Pro and found, that when trying to enter an Adress with the slide-out Keyoboard an aditional character is added after each pressed button. This Means: i press "a" and "a°a" appears on the screen.
Does anyone else have the same problem or maybe found a solution?

Never noticed that problem before. Using last version of TT7. Maybe a rom issue with the keyboard driver.
Usually I'm using the soft keyboard of TT7

This is also happening to me, stock WWE updated ROM with TTN7 7.915. This is soooo lame!

I can also confirm that this is happening to me with TT 7.915. I'm not completely sure, but I don't think it happened to me with TT 7.910

Do you all use the vga-version? I think it did not happen with the not-vga version that was preinstalled on my device.

I tried with 910 and 915, and I still get this issue :-/

Its hapening to me also. im using TT7.450 (VGA)
Buts not a problem to me. Tomtom is very fingerfriendly and it goes very smooth.

On a slightly different issue, what sort of refresh rate are you getting on TomTom in terms of map redraws per second? I'd guess I'm only getting one, maybe two, but I've seen Sleuth's video, and he looks to be getting 3 or 4.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve.

I also have this issue, although I never use the keyboard while navigating. If you didn't mention it I would have probably never noticed it! LOL

@maw: Well I bought a PDA-holder for my car which holds the Touch pro with the open keyboard, since I thought, that it would be really cool (which it is if it wasn't for the keyboard not working properly in tomtom)
@StevePritchard: I am not sure, but I think I get about 1-3 fps in Tomtom.

did you upgrade your ROM and noticed this problem? As I never used the keyboard with the previous stock ROM I can't say if the ROM upgrade effected the Tomtom interface with the keyboard. I updated my stock ROM with the new version that just came out. Maybe that is the problem, I don't really know.... Very good of you to signal this problem though. Otherwise I don't think this problem can be fixed, I guess we'll just have to wait on a new version of Tomtom to fix this problem. Have you reported it to Tomtom?

no I did not upgrade. I didn't even know, that there is an available update. I am running the stock rom (from o2 germany) that came shipped with the phone.
Is there an update from htc?
No, I did not report, since my Version fell from a truck... I was just wondering whether it was damaged during the fall or if everyone has this problem. ;-)

Its a TomTom error, the newer TT versions dont have that problem.

I used to get this when running Elite RC2 - I moved to ROMeOS and never had the problem

What do you mean by newer versions? I use 7.915 - Is there anything more recent?

I'm getting the same problem, and I've got 7.915 as well. No-one found a solution then?

i had this problem on 3 different versions of tomtom, along with hit or miss signal. it always thinks im inside a building but in the 1/20 shot it works i cant do anything or else "im inside a building" again. i just dont think tomtom was meant for the fuse

It is not a TOMTOM issue. It is an issue with the IME. Here is the fix.
I have attached KforTouchPro_v1.0.0.3.CAB
1. Install the cab
2. It installs to your games folder because this is a fix for several games that have had this issue (I originally discovered it because I had issues using the HW keyboard with logmein)
3. click the Switch to M$ IME button. Now you are good to go!

Thanks - I have just tried it, and TT now works fine.
The problem now is, that other things don't work anymore... I tried writing an E-Mail and it wouldn't let me abort the mail. It displayed the Messageboc, but did not accept any input. Since I write more Mails than I use TT and don't like to keep on switching Keyboard map I is not a real option.
Do you have any Idea?

Hmm.. odd, when I updated my TomTom it just disappered, I have your version aswell, good that there is a update though for you
that K for touch pro, is that KforRaphael that maps certain keys for MorphGear?
I had that installed, but cant recall if it was erroring before that, anyways, good it got solved

No GPS after firmware update

Hi,
I recently installed the new official HTC Firmware Upgrade on my Touch Pro.
ROM: 5.05.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 01/22/09
Radio: 1.11.25.01
After installing, i cannot seem to get a GPS fix, have been trying for last 4 hours. I did all the usual, ran the Quick GPS etc. My external TomTom receiver works fine and TomTom then runs ok on the Touch Pro.
GPS set to COM4 as before
Has anyone else had any problems since upgrading to the new firmware?
Thanks

The fix problem might be temporary. Try again tomorrow at different position

Hi Darfri,
Funny enough, i tried this morning and got a fix in about 20 seconds! So could well have been just a temp thing.
I did uninstall GPSED in between, i'm sure that was not the contributing factor, will reinstall it and try the GPS again on the way home.
M

me too
did u mean the htc's website ROM upgrade?
i did it too, and my GPS is not running, i tried it saturday and did not get sucess, i am trying today again and the same problem is ocurring, i would need my GPS working, i use IGO8, the raphael locates the GPS signal, but on the map it doesnt work
does anybody know the soluction?

Yes, i do mean the HTC website ROM.
I tried again on the way back from work after reinstalling GPSED, it is still working. No idea why it refused on the Sunday.
Try obtaining a fix in an open area for a start, once it gets its first fix after the upgrade, subsequent ones should be easier.

where did u get?

I have the same problem. Yesterday I flashed my Touch Pro with a new Radio and a new OS Rom (not the official one). I used the newest Radio Rom version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2822877&postcount=2 (1.11.25.01)
Now I'm trying to get a GPS fix with Google Maps or HTC GPS Tool, but both does not work.
I hope anyone could help.
Thanks!

Same problem here, flashed 5 days ago, intermitent gps signal (like a pulse fix / no fix) or none at all. Even try with different radios (Radio 1.02.25.32 / 1.02.25.28) and the baud rate to 57600 in my apps.
I can't be sure is due to new ROM because I flash it on my newer Fuze and never try GPS fix before. I have to say that I own a Touch pro almost a year ago and at the same time side by side get a fix in cold 10-30 seconds and warm 2-5 seconds (with a cooked ROM from "jespi2005" Radio 1.02.25.32)

Hi,
I think I have a solution.Download the HTC GPS Tool (e.g. from here http://rs276.rapidshare.com/files/84815853/Nadavi_HTC_GPS_TOOL.cab)
-Check if you have AGPS disabled (e.g. with Advanced Config)
-Update QuickGPS
-Install HTC GPS Tool
-Run HTC GPS Tool
-Check the Correct Com Port (Settings - > External GPS)
-Set Baudrate to 57600
-Press open
-Select Cold Start from the Dropdown list
-Mark the Repeat Selectbox
-Press Nav. Init.
-Now It can take 1 or 2 hours
-Check the status via the satelit tab
If nothing works, press Close, reset your PPC, select Clear Memory from the select box, press Nav. Init. and wait about 15 Minutes and reset your PPC again. Repeat the procedure above. You can also try the other options in the drop down box. I don't know the options I used anymore, but now it works.
My problem was, that I was to impatient and thought, that anything must be broken. So try this method and I hope it works.
I found this solution in the german forum www.ppc-welt.info (direct link for all german speaking people: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=133565)

Garmin Mobile XT problem.

Hi!
I've just installed Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20w on my HTC Diamond Touch with some maps. But whenever I try to click the "Where to?" and then "adresses", the program will be displayed where the taskbar is and then you see whatever is underneath the program. Let's say the Today page was under, then you see that and you still see the program where the taskbar should be. It's like it cuts the image below the taskbar. And there's really no way to interact with GMXT anymore. Have to soft reset.
Without maps, it works just perfect. I have tried both a Japan map and a Europe map. I've also tried 5.00.10w, same issue there.
Also tried a 4.xxxxx version (don't remember the exact version), then it will just display the splash screen for GMXT all the time if I have the maps installed. Without them, it's fine.
Using the latest official ROM from HTC - 2.03.413.2 - SVE
Thanks for any replys.
