Smart1 v2 Bug Collection

OMG, thats really bad news I red today! Smart1 will not release a v3! Your WM6 v2 is close to perfect, just some small bugs left to perfection. Whatever may happen, I wanna thank you for this first: GOOD WORK!!!
I may not have posted alot until now, since I prefer reading first, digging into it, then posting. I´m still pretty new to PPC world (compared to those who live in here..), and I don´t want to spam and pollute.
Now someone asked for list of bugs in smart1 WM6 v2 to fix them / cook a new ROM based on it, so I step in because these bugs are something I know about - sadly.
Maybe you smart1 could give all the files needed to build it to him, to make shure things dont get messed up on rebuilding? Don´t know how this is handled in here.
BUGLIST:
Bugs I have myself & they are confirmed:
- Backlight switches OFF after Softreset (really bad at night..)
- PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets (-> cant use device with PIN enabled edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will NOT test this.)
- Email Password gets lost after SoftReset (reenter on boot)
- IR not working (did not check manual reg fix avail.)
- WLAN in Comm Manager does not always switch ON/OFF propper, does not switch ON after several tries
- Delay of 0.5-1 sec on most Softkeys (1/2, Green, Red) + 1 & 2 cant be reasigned without problems (cab)
- second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history. (never tried, but as workaround I suggest disablin the feature at your cellular provider. edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will test this.)
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.
- Links inside emails produce an error
Bugs I dont have myself but confirmed
- Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation. (fine here, maybe depending on G3/4 or model)
- Incoming MMS does not work.Outgoing does work. (Cant confirm, hate $$$ MMS)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- Could not get Internet Telephonie (SIP) working, may be wrong settings
- Sometimes dialing a contact does not work (from some views/windows). Will check the circumstances
Bugs some people have but not confirmed so far:
- MobileCalculator.exe not starting (works fine here)
- Pocket Outlook (Messages) does not start after a while (had this once, guess its some inteference with other soft)
- If you want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, you receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom. (I can not confirm this at all.)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer. (not completly wrong, in general sofkeys lag)
- System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back (had once, someone else confim please)
from 18.04.07:
- Display is not kept opp when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination (I dont get this. Get opp?? Why not just lock device or use Mortsaver)
- The phone turns itself on frequently throughout the day when you have an Exchange email account. This is confirmed after a hard reset, and doesn't happen until the Exchange account is entered. (Guess Mortsaver could be used as workaround as long as not fixed.)
- BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing. (Uhm, does WM 6 support HTML mails at all? I don´t need it, if i need formated text i attach it)
- Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically.
I Confirm these bugs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
To get a clean & bugfree WM6 on prophet (maybe) I suggest following system:
- Everybody reads the whole tread before he / she starts posting
- Everybody thinks twice before posting if the post matches the topic
(Smart1 v2 Bug Collection - not: How to flash ROM or Please add finnish language.)
- Everybody posts bugs that are not already known .
- Everybody confirms bugs if they where not confirmed once
- Everybody falsifies bugs if they do not appear on their device
- Everybody posts tested solutions to confirmed bugs
- Nobody posts requests or problems with flashing or any other BS
- Nobody quotes complete posts just to add a single line
I will read this tread and update this post to collect all known bugs into this single post. I hope some mods keep an eye on this tread and keep it clean from "I have a problem and I am to lazy to read - PLEEEASE HELP ASAP" posts. Excuse me if this sounds a bit rude, but I just red trough 90 pages of the smart1 tread....
Even if we can`t cook ourselfs we can still judge the taste...
Please keep this post clean!!!

A
bug I find: afetr using some time, the messeage can't be used!
thanks

Problems happened to my prophet
1. Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation.
2. second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history.

Bug with tasks?
I have only one complaint and this is about tasks.
If I want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, I receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom.

I don't know if this could help others.. I had the same problems as you other guys in this thread with the phone part. (No missed calls list, PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets).
If i then flashed firts to NVID of WM5 rom, then to Smart1's WM6 V2 and after that i flashed to the radio rom of version 2.61.29.. Then those problems dissapeared for me.. I have a full call history list, and the phone does ask me for PIN everytime i soft reset! I haven't had these problems at all after i did this.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.

I can confirm that! I have the same problem!

Grt Rom, just a few glitches.
1) the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
2) System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back
Can live with the above 2 problems, other than that i think its a fabulous rom, quite slick and quick. Hope someone can pick up where Smart1 left off.

Turns itself on with an Exchange email account
OK. Scratch the title of this post.
The problem exists when a PIN is used with the 'Lock' applet in Settings -> Personal -> Lock. When you have a PIN set to be required at startup, the phone will at times turn on by itself. Also, if you let the phone sit by itself for a few minutes, you will be able to turn it on with the 'end call' button! I have repeated this after several hard resets with no apps installed.
I originally thought an Exchange account created this problem because my hosted Exchange provider requires a PIN to be setup for the phone to communicate with the Exchange server. But, I know the Exchange account has nothing to do with the problem.

BUGS
BUGS
RINGING
Sometimes the phone does not ring as normal (sms do notify!), it displays only on screen without making any sound, not even vibration.
Happened once after weeks of usage:
SYNCRONIZING
Syncing with laptop not successfull. After all my calendar, contacts, to-do and task were deleted on unit. After that ActiveSync does not want to syncronize with phone anymore. Not even after deleting and creating a new partnership. The unit keep changing its ID; WM_Administrator1, 4, 6 etc.
Hardreset and reinstall of AS4.5 so far works.
GENERAL
*Display is not kept off when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination. I dont use any exchange-account.
*Fast battery draining (tried every radio-rom, now running 2.07.20)

More bugs
And ofcourse;
Incoming MMS does not work. (outgoing does work!)

For me, this is the biggest drawback. Which apps do have installed, and have you tested them to determine which app might be involved in turning the device on by itself?
I have also noticed that I can even get the device to turn on with the end call button at times...
Do you have an Exchange email account?

EDIT18th Apr-07 08:48 (GMT+1):
BUGS
Still no incoming MMS, Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
Have not been able to reproduce contacts/calendar deletion via sync yet (it appeared after some weeks last time, fresh install now only 3 days)
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically. I therefore have installed the cab-files in folder "\extended_rom\" manually via total commander. If that has something to do with it)
I Confirm these bugs:
Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume.
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.

Wow, amazing how fast this gets confusing. People please try to keep it clean!!!
If you find out something is not caused by the ROM itself (like Bongachalla just did), please edit your previous posts and delete these Bug reports.
As far as I understand Bongachalla had 4 Bugs (no MMS receiving, No Ringing from time to time, Sync deleted all contacts on PPC and Touchscreen activating by programs (check our Mortsaver for this btw.)).
Did all of these bugs disappear after your reinstall or what?
Please try to be exact with your bug reports and check if they appear with a clean installed ROM before you post them. Please search on board if there is a fix for them and post solution together with report if you find some. If you get any error message google it to find out what causes it.
This helps us all and raises the chances that someone will take the time to build a rom with bugs fixed. Thx.

BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing.

No more bugs?
Maybe you did read the original Smart1 tread, so you know he revived his S200 and announced release of v3 in the next weeks. So I guess its time to post any unknown bugs and confirm the known ones, so they can be fixed in this (I guess final)release.
Thank you for your help.

Another bug not yeat reported
I've looked every where and didn't found anything related with this bug.
My sms just get erased from the Text Messages folder each time I do a soft reset.
using smart1_wm6_pp8mb_NEW.v2 and the Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21, followed the instructions and runned all the cabs in the extended_rom.
Did i do anything wrong or is this really a bug

No bug ... its a config of the SMS store!

I dont want to spamn this post, so can you just redirect me to the instructions on how to change that? so when i do a reboot, the sms dont get lost? sorry for the off topic([email protected])

You can't change it! If you reset with your stylus you will probably loose messages.
Use pxshut or similar or turn off (hold power for three seconds)
The reset hole is for emergencies only. This is discussed in great detail in the Fantastic 1.1 thread and the Smartv2 thread.

Is is it just me???! [BeastyLeo latest rom]

Hi BeastyLeo,
I just flashed the latest release and i'm having lots of trouble The rom looks great and i so badly want to use it, but dont knw if i'm jinxed or something :-/ Please help me!!!!
1. The incoming phone call graphics is all messed up. The caller's picture and the caller info gets rendered 20-30 pixels below the top of the notification box and the bottom section gets cut off...
2. All the applications running started to behave crazy after a while. WpTask was active, and this is what happened - The task icons used to appear on the top bar (for example Activesync's icon), but the text used to be missing. When i brought up the context menu by clicking and holding the task, the rollout menu didnt list the name of the task again! I had options like Close, Terminate (with no Task names next to it like it would normally appear), and I couldnt kill the tasks at all! Even after i went into default memory manager of wm6, i still couldnt end the tasks. Only option was a reset....
3. The back button in the phone app comes with the sound, and now that slows it down for some reason
thanks!!!!
San

Ohhhh.... this is realy weird
Did you install the ROM with default options, or did you change anything?
This is horrible!

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick response!
I didnt do anything with the rom before flashing. The only thing though, was i didnt flash the radio file as i have 1.15 and i find it stable. The Tasks problem keeps happening, i had to roll back now to one of your earlier versions which works fine though....
Thanks, and i really appreciate both your commitment and great work!
San

If it's that bad I will try to do a bug release in a view days.
My harddisk of my laptop crashed and currently I'm trying to recover the data first. I feel sorry for you and I hope I can fix it asap.
-I noticed a view things with initflashfiles.dat after I decompiled our own ROM.
-Also PocketCM I'm not realy happy with, I think I'm going to take that out.
-Office I changed for our previous one.
Well... I'm looking into it.
Cheers,
Leo

Windows Mobile 6.5 - Lock Screen is slow

Hi,
I have installed the latest WM6.5 Build 21725 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605) on my HTC Touch Pro.
But I have a problem (which occurs on all tested roms) with the lock screen: I lock the device. The lock screen appears fast and is immediately responsible. But when I go to suspend mode (by waiting or pressing the power key) and then let wake up the device, I have always to wait a lot of time until the lock screen is responsible to unlock the device. This is very annoying and I want to fix that "bug". Can anybody help me?

Same here. And does anyone know how to remap one of the softkeys to lock the screen? Instead of have to push start >> lock?

i had this with a 6.5 rom
what i did was after i turn backlight on i quickly press the hangup buttton and then the slide works fine
this may have to do until the rom becomes more stable

Thanks for your tip, but it doesn't work

Sorry this was gibberish

then im sorry i cant help
all i can do is ask youve tried this on a 6.1 based rom

this is a knowing trouble because of the beta
Hey pilot... this is a real kick on the ass cause nobody answer this many times users needs a third party app to lock their devices... i didnt lock my device... i just turn it off and disable all the buttons you see... its like a locked simply and crapy phone function.

well i know it looks good que but the problem i had was after a while in standby the buttton would shift to any side however i know the phone wasnt crashed due to the little arrow animatiuons kept going as normal all i did was tap the phone down button and then it worked as it should mind you this was davie ducks v8 on the hd

I figured out that the lock screen is immediately responsible if you set a password. But I don't want to slide AND then type a password

just slide the time bar at the below screen before slide the lock :| i got this bug after upgrading into a 6.5 rom :| now it's done by myself :">

remember at the time of the OPs question 6.5 was very buggy
a lot of the latest releases are a lot better

Laggy
I also have this laggy problem when clicking the right key to bring up unlock screen, takes a while for the unlock screen to appear.
Was looking at ThrottleLock which looks good, but not compatible with 6.5.
I hate iphones so don't want S2U2 !!
Looking forward to update

Correction
Correction, just tried an older version of throttlelock app 0.6, and it works with windows mobile 6.5

Is there some way to just turn the lock screen off? I hate how slow it is on my backup phone, an LG KS20

You may have it in settings-personal, if not, go to HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen, and change 'enable' from 1 to 0. Then, you'll have to old-style lockscreen. If you want to see the lockscreen settings applet, then change 'ShowLockScreenPicker' from 0 to 1. You may need to soft reset (but you may not).

Thanks Ted! Works perfectly, for some reason the Lock Screen settings applet won't show, but that's not important as the first registry key solves my problem.

Yeah one way is to set back original WM5x/6/6.1 LockScreen but I have solved it another way... Maybe you have noticed that the new WM6.5 lock screen has delay ONLY on first run so what about put a shortcut to "\Windows\Startup" to lock device on startup (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock - working also with WM6.5)? I mostly don't need to use the device in first seconds after startup so everything necessary can load to memory and then after unlocking my device is everything relatively fast ;-) BTW you can set lockings with tool named Smart Lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032).

The problem with the 6.5 lockscreen is that it kills gwes.exe (at least in my experience). Do a soft reset, open up a task manager and look at gwes.exe. With dotfred's, I'll start at maybe 15 MB, and as soon as I open the lockscreen (I get the delay, too), the gwes usage jumps by about 6 MB, and none of the ram is released. It makes my device buggy over time. Gwes.exe is bloated enough with 6.5.3 roms, you really don't need the lockscreen killing it like that.
I don't know if it's an issue on a stock rom, but the cooked ones have problems. In the 6.5 cooking thread, Da_G said a while ago that it had to do with how most kitchens compile roms. They compress all files the same way, and ignore flags in the dsm's that say whether or not a file should be compressed. He's said that cooking an uncompressed rom fixes the problem. I've tried making a cab of the lockscreen and running it that way, but I still get the initial delay and the 6 MB ram-tax on gwes.exe, so whatever is breaking the lockscreen during cooking because of the forced compression isn't in the lockscreen packages. Anyway, the lockscreen is cool, but I personally hate what it does to gwes.exe, so I don't use it.

What your saying about cooked vs. stock is likely correct, as I had briefly owned an HTC Pure (ATT branded Diamond 2), which shipped with 6.5, and there were absolutely no delays with the lock screen. On the other hand, I still haven't flashed 6.5 onto my X1, so I don't know if its just that my LG can't handle the lockscreen with its 400mhz qualcomm.

[ROM][WWE][Nov. 27, 09] Solace v4 Alpha - Energy Edition! (WM6.5 build 21864)

Hey guys,
As some of you might know, I've been working on Solace v4 for quite some
time now. Well, now I finally have a stable version with some bugs. The
thing is, I haven't had any time recently to go through the ROM and pick out
bugs, except for the few noticeable ones, so I've uploaded Solace v4 Alpha
for anyone who wants to test .
I will be creating a new thread with more information when the stable, non-alpha version comes out.
For now I'll tell you that it is Windows Mobile 6.5 with Manila 2D and just the basic programs. Screenshots can be found here.
Thanks guys!
Please note that some bugs are: Manila 2D Sounds page isn't working, PTT button is not linked correctly, and SRS WOW HD is not configured correctly
Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/6GR1QZ8TM4

Keep up the good work,looks very nice,I enjoyed a lot Solace 3.1...I hope you will finish soon this ROM...

Perfect timing, I have my favorite " stable " roms ( one of which was 3.1 ) to use during the business week , but love to try new roms over the weekend. Will flash and let you know if I find anything. Thanks for the hard work.

Damm,
was checking your site some while to find out when Solance v4 (Alpha) would be released..
now this is it, dl now.
thanks

Fantastic!
Seems like years since 3.1.........
On the download now.

I´m testing yout ROM

It's like centuries passed since v3.1
Looks promising. Images are interesting and it seems to be another "professional" ROM for everyday work. Maybe this will be the reason for me to not trying to cook again
DL now and testing in some moment. (Have no free time to flash and test and flash and test and cook and flash...)
Thanks, mbarvian !!!

Have had it on for a few hrs now and it really looks nice. AE Button took care of assigning button 6 to comm manager and Weather4me. Still trying to get WKtask to play nice with 6.5 , Excluding shell32.exe doesn't seem to be working.
Also the screen seems to be very insensitive to taps and touches. Tried increasing sensitivity with Kaiser Tweaks but still requires multiple taps and a really firm touch to open things sometimes. The taskbar works great as does the M2D slider with a light tap, it just seems to be the main screen. But I am still tweaking the setup, so I am not prepared to blame the rom for this.
Other than that everything seems to be working great.

Glitches so far
Hey Mbarvian
Been running a few hours now and a couple of things I've noticed.
SMS - not working. Sent messages remain unread. I don't know if they are sending, but I'm getting no replies (and I am very popular so there must be a fault!)
On startup 'messaging' is displayed in the taskbar where 'start' would normally be. Don't know if this is related to the above
The M2D music tab doesn't seem to function - it hangs on searching but doesn't find my music. The 'library' soft key doesn't work and the options under menu don't turn on shuffle or repeat or go to audio booster.
Power button/Backlight issue - It's been a while since I've had this issue on a ROM, but when I press the power button to bring the phone out of sleep the screen flashes on but then returns to sleep - I have to press again. As I'm sure you know this problem was around a while, but solved in the end - I don't know how!
I've installed and run lots of applications with no problems, but TomTom 7 refuses to install - it hangs after I select the install location. This happens whether I select device or storage card.
Voicemail number doesn't configure in the dialer (just being picky now)
Red end button doesnt return to M2D home when pressed (I know you are a perfectionist!)
Volume control isn't available under notifications - had to install 'setvolume' and map.
That's it for now! - I'll have to reflash to another ROM until there is a fix for SMS bug as need this working. Be waiting to flash back after though.
I flashed stock ROM and radio before flashing - radio updated to the same as my signature.

hey man, nice to see u got ur alpha booting again... Im sure its much more improved than the one i tried out
if i get the time, i might give it a test, but no promises
keep up the good work and hope u accomplish ur goal of perfection

Another Solace Rom
Will try it out later today

Well been using for almost a day now, I can confirm all that brandall has pointed out, except I am not getting the double push to wake up bug.
I too flashed stock before flashing and unfortunately SMS is a biggee for me also, my kids seem unable to ever dial a phone, so SMS is the only way they communicate with me. Because of course walking from room to room in the house is too much of an effort when you can just text from the bedroom to the kitchen. But off-topic
Will need to switch for now but will be back when sms is fixed to explore further and again, thanks much for the effort, all the chefs put in a lot of time and it is appreciated.

little review
As everyone was saying the text messages don´t work for me either. This isn´t a big deal for me because I don´t text much anyway. I can confirm that everything brandall reported doesn´t work for me either including the double power button push. I had the same issue with Solace 3.1 ever since I started using it so I kinda got used to it already.
However, I was unable to start the camera or bluetooth.
Please someone confirm that this isn´t just my fault.
Before flashing v4 alpha I flashed Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.
Still love this ROM and will use it untill the final v4 is out :-D

...ohh...very big problem is SMS all day I´m waiting for my test sms...unfortunately sms still doesn´t arrived thereby this ROM is for me unusable
and I agree with brandall
So I respect your hard work.

Wow guys sorry for putting out a version with so many bugs. Ill try and fix them but some of them like the power button issue I have no clue on. If any chefs would like the share some solutions to these problems, please don't hesitate to speak up
Thanks for the feedback though

I'm always interested in your work, but reading SMS issue, I have to hold back for awhile. no offense, but SMS is primary for me.
One question, you mentioned WM 6.5 but the screen shot shows Start Menu & Setting look like WM6.1?
Seems the M2D you use is not latest with weather on Home screen. Is that by choice?

Hi,
I'm really excited about this, I put reply here so I can set the Thread Subscription and get all new replies to my inbox, do not know any other way of doing it other than writing a message.
I would love to test this one but unfortunately too busy at work now - can't wait for the full edition, I haven't used stayed with any other rom other than the solace 3.1 since I started to learn stuff from this site. so thanks !

Sorry for adding some more but found out that the sound control isn´t working In the Settings tab in Manila after clicking on the sounds icon, only blank menu pops up.
Also the battery indicator is showing only the decimal value like 100%, 90% 80% ... not showing the exact value so for example from 60% it jumps straight to 50%.
Opera browser 9.7 doesn´t even load, moreover it freezes the phone. However the Opera Mobile 10 Beta and also Opera Widgets work flawlessly.
The power button issue seems to be happening on more than just your ROMs and what I´ve found it´s Microsoft´s fault - here but the suggested cab doesn´t fix anything, at least not for me
The solution is simply holding the power button a little longer (which I cannot blame any chef for not doing this for me every time I need it ).
Mbarvian, please don´t take this in a bad way, I appreciate your work and since Solace 3.1 haven´t found anything better. Just trying to help...

I'm having the same errors as with v3 with sound, text/mms, random resets, browser doesn't function at all, sound icon still doesn't work, can't remap buttons, etc
I appreciate Mbarvian's efforts and when the Rom is ready I'll try to use it again but some of us can only wait so long, and unfortunately using a ROM where text msging doesn't work isn't possible.
I have the correct and updated SPL/radio as well.

There's really no need to apologise! We appreciate your efforts.
If you knock up an SMS fix I'll jump back on the ROM to further test - I need SMS working though due to the masses of girls that text me.... I wouldn't want to let them down...
Or maybe I made that up.
Look forward to your update!

Htc Touch Pro (Raphael 500) Running Android , How to overclock?

Alright so Yesterday I installed the android os on my touch pro (raph 500)
i orginally have windows mobile 6.5 which is preety fast
but android is really slow!
i turned off all the settings which i would think it used alot of memory but still no help, so i started seeing videos on overclcking?
can someone explain to me on how to do this,
with links to the download
i really need to speed this up ,it would be amazing if it worked.
also if you give me a response that helps me , ill donate 10.00+ to you .

I do not require funds as I enjoy helping out!
From THIS thread and THIS post:
Overclocking
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX ( suggested 600000-640000 )
but it is very unstable if you try to get higher than 650000-700000

Basically, you add that to the startup.txt file somewhere between the parentheses with an added space between the next command. Keeping in mind, with added OC, you may and may not notice a difference in stability. I honestly never use OC and I am using FroYo from THIS thread. Additionally you can try out Gingerbread Alpha from THIS thread. Please leave feedback in their respective threads, thanks!
n-Joie! (Enjoy)

thanks but this is my startup text :
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2182
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 acpuclock.force_turbo=1"
boot

so which am i supposed to edit, sorry im a noob lol
& u said that was the one you used,
is it fast?

Actually, I can't use that one because I have an at&t Fuze. If you have a RAPH500, you might want to use the following:
set ramsize 0x10000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 2182
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "lcd.density=210 msmvkeyb_toggle=off physkeyboard=raph board-htcraphael-navi.wake=0 gsensor_axis=2,-1,3 pm.sleep_mode=1 acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX"
boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where XXXXXX is equal to a value between 600000-640000
Additional note: make sure you type something like 600000 or any value up to 640000

lol thanks im trying to see if theres a difference in speed.
but you used froyo?
is that running fast?

It's running fine with sync and a few other apps running in the background. I would be mindful of livewallpaper and HQ video at the moment as this project is currently still under development, at best. At least that is what I have noticed as far as performance is considered. I have also run a stripped Gingerbread alpha build (the one I linked you to earlier) and it is running faster/smoother than FroYo. To be expected without all the bells and whistles...
NOTE: Speed is relative to performance at the moment. Hence why I say it's still under development...

intresting ill test that out in about 15 mins
but does yours take a long time to come out of sleep mode?

Hmmm, that might be the notorious sleep of death SOD. I usually do something that most don't like but I sort of turn off the screen time out by first making the screen time out greater than 10 or 30 minutes. After that it should make things easier as far as disabling the auto back light/screen timeout feature. Keep in mind this is only a work around, I believe there is mention of actually fixing this issue. You'll need to download a free app called batterybooster (use the link if you want to read up on it a little). Once installed, run it and look for the far right icon and tap it. Set the timeout to Never and you'll notice a decent performance enhancement in the screen off and screen on.
NOTE: You will need to manually turn it off from here-on. You can try to play around with the setting but I find it somewhat problematic. Meaning that if you enable the timeout, it might and it might not work.

alright well i tried the gingerbread and that didnt work it lagged .
i tried froyo , it was amazing then i found out wifi didnt work
so now im back to the regular android one i had before ill be trying to see if theres a difference now that i "overclocked" it .
but thanks for all the help.
ill post back if i need something!

Odd, wifi(wap not wep) works for me... Must be a random occurrence? Have you attempted to update any files and are you using OC? Probably best to stick to a stock-like startup till you get a good feel of most of the basic functions, which may or may not include wifi, gps, 3d and camera; these should be on the "to be worked on" list of things for the devs to complete.

NVM I got the wifi to work now .

Glad to hear about the wifi success story I don't know if I could walk you through that as it seems that wifi can be temperamental ( or just mental )
The only way I could get out of the SOD issue was to try for that work around (setting it to never timeout with the app mentioned) and to set a pattern unlock

well i set it to never timeout and i have a lock pattern
but since it never times out it wont lock .

also now im starting to notice froyo is rebooting for some weird reason automatically .

Calm down, that is kind of "usual behavior" . There are quire a few things going on and the OS is attempting to "handle it". Sometimes it can't and just quits instead of freezing up ( which would be the lesser of two evils ). To get it to lock, you will have to turn it off manually (power button). Unfortunately, I think if the keyboad slides out, it self unlocks (kind of a self defeating purpose, more or less). If you turn the screen off and wait like 10 seconds then turn the screen on (power key), you should see the lock. I can't say for sure but it does work for me. I don't really have much time for troubleshooting today, as I am at work currently but do look over the threads I linked you to earlier if at all possible.

okay so i turned it off using the power button and it booted to windows mobile (odd)
then i tried running haret.exe & got this message:
"The file HARET 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."
im not sure what to do.
i tryed reformatting the card and installing fresh files, which didnt work so now im left questioned?

When you say you turned it off, did you hold the button or just press it once? If you pressed it once, then, that is definitly not "usual" behavior. I recall having that issue once upon a time but for the life of me, I don't recall what I did to recover from it. However, it sounds like you are attempting to run from a shortcut that references the program(haret) that is no longer there. To resolve this, I need you to confirm that you are running from the microSD and not a shortcut. Also, you aren't formatting under windows, right? If you are formatting from windows, that would be a "no-no"
Find something like the HP tool (can be googled) that everyone else talks of or even something like the free version of partition wizard should work.

i held the button and it gave me options
1) airplane mode
2)shutoff
3)vibrate
i did try to make a shortcut but i deleted it and now when i checked i was running it from the actual application.
lastly, i did format from windows but i downloaded hp format tool
and formated my device in quick format.
reinstalled the programs and it still gave me the same error message,
please help, i really miss android =(

Try deleting data.img and letting it recreate the file. To clarify about the screen off issue, when you press the power button once (not hold), what does it do? Also, which kernel package are you using and have you attempted to download a newer kernel package yet?
Also, try THIS kernel package; I got it from THIS site. It looks like that kernel package is specific to our devices.
