A2DP on Tornado!!

Now you can use A2DP (Bluetooth Stereo) on HTC Tornado w/ AKU2 ROM...
1. The ROM should be updated as latest AKU2 ROM from i-mate (SP5 or 8310: i-mate_SP5_???_2.5.33?.?.zip, SP5m or 8300: i-mate_SP5m_???_2.6.33?.?.zip) and unlocked by RegEditSTG.exe and SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe .
2. Copy Avrcp_MPplugin.dll, bta2dp.dll, sbc.dll to \Windows thru ActiveSync.
3. Copy Tor_A2DP_cert.CAB to any folder (I recommend \My Documents), and execute CAB from File Manager.
4. Import or modify A2DP-related registry values, using MobileRegistryEditor (see Readme.txt or A2DP.reg included in the ZIP file).
5. Power Off and On
6. You can enable A2DP for your stereo headset, from Settings - 6. Connections - 2. Bluetooth - Menu (right softkey) - 1. Devices - Select your A2DP headset - Menu (right softkey) - Set as Wireless Stereo !!
Enjoy!

What does Tor_A2DP_cert.CAB do?
I wonder if it's as easy as it looks like to add A2DP feature to another HTC device :wink:
What does actually Tor_A2DP_cert.CAB file do?
Thank you for any help getting this work an latest Wizard ROM.

It's just a certificate that created by myself...
And 3 files included in the ZIP are signed using this certificate.
I never tested the certificate and files on non-Tornado devices, but I guess it can work on other devices (but the Bluetooth stack should be same version as these A2DP files... means AKU 2.0).

It work on 818pro. YEAH

Well
Then it SHOULD work on Wizard!!!

Any chance this will work on an older Wizard Rom? I need to use an old one for Blackberry compatiblity. Don't have an A2DP compatible headset, but may pick one up from best buy during lunch

ya know, instead of people asking if it works on other models, how about trying it first? it's not going to hurt if you do try it, so why worry?

Anyone figure out how to import the .reg file? I tried Mobile REgistry editor and it doesn't give an option anywhere. I haven tried PHM Registry Editor and can't get the Import option not to be grayed out. I even double clicked on the .reg file on my wizard and all it did was launch the phm regedit app, but didn't import. Any help would be appreciated...

Wow Imma have to try this.

Anyone know how to import the reg file ???

Good work kyunga! How did you do it? I've seen these dll's from rom dumps before, but I was under the impression that in order to work, they had to be manually edited by hand. Are these files from the wizard test rom or does it use the official implementation present on the universal. Great work again!

SUPERB

The CAB file attached in that thread will copy all necessary files and import all registry settings automatically. Don't have to do it manually. Thanks to kyunga for his original contribution.

[UPDATE:july 25 2008] Wizard Camera Update!!! COMPLETED

Hello.
I have managed to hack the camera for our wizards; and change those ugly graphics using ResHacker.
now it does not look like it came out of the last milenium.
So I am posting it here for the chefs to cook with.
All you have to do (should you chose to) is replace the Camera.exe with the new one.
Or other users can just drop it into the Windows folder.
here it is
Update to camera 3.3 fixes some grapfic details for transparancies

Great
Thanks for all your passion

Thanks,I will try it

wow! 149 downloads! cool.

niceee
trying right now!

its vere good itry now

it works on our wizard tnx

great work as always .... thanks for the share

seemless...well done brotha...

With the normal camera application you can choose where to save new pictures but you only have 2 options. Normaly you can choose between main-memory and memorycard. If you unhide the Ext-ROM you can only choose between main-memory and Ext-ROM but not memorycard anymore. Is this Problem already fixed or can you fix it? Thank you!

The extended rom is useless in all senarios. iven if you unlock it you can only copy files from it.. but not copy to.
The camera will not write to extended rom.

That's not the Problem! I don't want the camera to save pictures to the Ext-ROM. I just can't choose "Speicherkarte" as target if Ext-ROM is visible. You may say: Don't unhide Ext-ROM.
Three problems:
1. I still want to have access to my documents in Ext-ROM!
2. I have the same problem if I use network-folders. "Netzlaufwerk" comes for "Speicherkarte" and if a network-folder is maped I cannot choose "Speicherkarte" (memory-card) as target to save the pictures.
3. BT-Browser adds an extra external memory just like the network-folder. Again no "Speicherkarte" in the list of possible targets. You can only choose between main-memory and bt-folder.
Is it possible to expand the list to more than 2 entries?

I suppose if you can add the shortcuts in registry. the camera app is just the original app. I changed nothing in it other then the icons. in fact I did not have access to see any coding. All I saw were the reasourses (files embeded into it) and changed the graphics. it is still the same app that came with the rom (well at least my rom)
if you could do that with your original rom, then that should be in the registry settings.. unless these options were hard coded into the camera.exe itself.
if.that is the case, and those options were harcoded into the camera.exe; I would like to have that exe. If you want to share that with me you would have to do a hard reset, and copy the exe and send it to me. I can modify the graphics and repost the exe back on this forum.
otherwise, I would have to give the answer "I dont know" or "I dont understand".

update
Updated camera 3.3 graphics in first post.

It looks great...I will add this to the Roms I will release! Nice job!
Yesterday during some cooking I needed some extra space in the Rom so I checked what .exe files were rather large and were able to get compressed (with UPX 1.38 GUI).
I reduced the size of the Camera.exe from +/- 600KB to nearly 300KB and it works just as good (stable and fast).
See the attached file (maybe add it to the 1st post in this thread...?).
Molski

thanx. I have been using UPX4PPC to compress programs. most of the times, when the dll or the exe has images embeded into it the program will not work as it should. one example is the MMSRES dll that covers most of the icons like the photo and video icons in the standard pictures explorer.
That is why I did not compress it. Thank you for trying that. The camera package (uncompressed is anout 5mb with the dlls) and that should help with my cooking.

Tweaked AudioPara3 Volume and Distortion Solved

I could never hear anybody with the AT&T AudioPara4 file. I performed the registry tweak to switch to the stock AudioPara3 file. You can use Diamond Tweak to accomplish this as well with the 100db European Limit tweak. This improved the volume but distorted the speakerphone at the higher levels.
After trying a couple AudioPara3 files I decided to tweak the stock AudioPara3 ROM file. The files I tried didn't tweak the levels proportionally and/or didn't solve the issue. I've been having problems with the earpiece not being loud enough and the speakerphone distorting the call. When switching between speakerphone and the earpiece I would have to adjust the volume.
In my tweaked file I modified only the earpiece and speakerphone volumes. There are 5 volume levels for each.
The volume on the speakerphone was the same for levels 3, 4, and 5. What they did was increase the gain each level which caused clipping of the audio. What I did was shift everything up two levels and added two proportionally quieter levels to the bottom. This give none to slight clipping at the highest volume depending on the caller.
For the earpiece I shifted everything down a level and added a proportionally increased 5th volume level. This provided the additional volume I needed without clipping.
Now I can switch between the earpiece and speakerphone without having to adjust the volume level.
Make sure to backup your old AudioPara3.csv file. You will need to use Total Commander to copy the file to the \Windows directory. Afterwards soft-reset and enjoy.

Now if someone could expand on this and modify the BT volume so that we could hear callers on our BT headsets...the Fuze would be the perfect device

I don't have a BT headset to test this with. The file is easy to tweak as it is just a CSV (comma separated value file). Don't edit with Excel as I noticed it changed the spacing in other lines. What I did was open it in Excel so it was easier to read and then changed it with notepad.
The values are stored in hex. Use the windows calculator to convert to decimal so you can get the volumes proportionally increased. Lines starting with F6 - F11 are for the speakerphone and F12 - F17 for the earpiece. I changed the rxVolume and codecRxGain columns per the post above.
There is an F18 line that states BTHEADSET but it only has one volume level. There is also F0 - F5 that are HEADSET levels. You might try tweaking those. There are also G lines at the bottom for specific vendors, but I'm not sure when they are used.

Tried your file but it saves as an excel spreadsheet its to be csv file right how to convert it then?

Hey rsw686,
Im downloading your 1.3.1 ROM right now to upgrade from your 1.2 ROM. Is this AudioPara file included in your ROM? If so I won't need to install this. Thanks

Tenxo,
Your Windows Operating System is set up to associates a csv file to your program Excel.
This means that in your case, Excel is the default program to open any csv file.
You might want to save the csv file to your hard disk. Browse the folder. Use your right mouse button in the windows explorer, with the focus on the csv file and open the file with another program (i.e. Notepad). You can edit it and save the new result.
rsw686's tip is to view a (copy of a) csv file using Excel as this can make it more user-friendly- readable. But never assume that edditing a csv file in Excel and saving it will be usable for other programs.

I tried that and was able to save the file with .csv but it still shows up as opens with excel although the name has changed to audiopara3.csv it still opens with excel...
Could you post the file as a csv so it could be just moved to the windows folder without extra converting.
Thanks

There is nothing to convert. You just copy / paste the downloaded file onto your device. I place it on the storage card and then use total commander to copy / paste it into Windows.

Downloaded fine and copied to to the \Windows directory. Do I still need to modify the registry so the system knows to use the new tweaked AudioPara3 file?

I do not have access to a PC at the moment. When trying to dowload AudioPara3 file from thread it open in a new window in Opera on my phone.
Guess I need to download later at home.

As far as I can tell this particular file didn't make any difference on my phone. I put the file in my \windows directory and changed the registry setting to point to this new audiopar3 file and rebooted. Still sounds the same. Did I miss any steps?

Have you used diamond tweak to disable the 100db sound limitation? This can also be accomplished with a registry editor. The key to change is
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile
The stock value is \windows\AudioPara4-xxxxxx.csv. The x's vary depending on the provider. You need to change this to \windows\AudioPara3.csv which will tell it to use my tweaked file.

No, I didn't use the Diamond Tweak, I simply changed the registry settings (the same ones you indicated above) from the stock \windows\AudioPara4-_att_20080703.csv to \windows\AudioPara3.csv After that I performed a soft reset.
Is this audiopara3 the same size file as the original one, 67.2k I'm just trying to make sure that the file I copied is the right one.

Mine shows 67.2k in the file explorer. You might try downloading the file from your phone and comparing it. What did you use to copy it to the \Windows directory. I know that Total Commander works well for this. I'm fairly sure you did this, but you did make sure the volume was turned all the way up when making a call?

Mine shows the same size in Explorer as well. I used Total Commander to copy the file (which I put on my storage card) to the clipboard. Then I navigated in TC to the \windows directory and did a paste. Yeah, I turned up the volume
Maybe I'll try downloading the file again. Can the file be downloaded directly to the phone or must I use a pc? When I tried it with the phone it just opened the .csv

Sounds like you did everything right. Here's a zipped version that should download directly to the phone. It could be that you might need to tweak the file louder. I bumped it up a notch which made a big difference to me, but maybe not as much for others.

File Explorer taking forever to display Windows sub-directory

On my Fuze, when selecting to see the Windows sub-directory, it takes FOREVER to display. Even if you shutdown File Explorer or reboot and restart File Explorer it just picks up working to try to display the Windows subdirectory. I also tried Resco Explorer to see if it might be the File Explorer program. I received similar results.
Any ideas? Could there be something unique about this sub directory or maybe something with the File System?

It has A LOT of files to load. that's why. It takes long for me also. A little faster on Total Commander though.

get advanced config and do the fatfs cache tweaks - my windows dir contains 4436 files/folders - after tweaking it takes file explorer around 4 seconds to enumerate the directory. total commander takes around 5 seconds (but that was ordering by date, not name)

I have noticed that it is greatly affected if you install all of your apps to the device. I did a hard reset just to check this, and it loaded in about 3 seconds while completely default. With several apps installed it now takes about 10 seconds. Pain in the butt if you left it in windows and it opens the windows directory when you start file explorer.
How much does the advance config tweak help? Also are there any adverse affects by doing the tweak?

I already have all of the fatfs tweaks applied thru the Advanced Configuration utility. It seesI have installed a lot of stuff that just goes into the Windows sub-directory. I'm now trying tofind out which of these files are extraneous and will get rid of them.
Thanks for all of the suggestions! If there are any more I will certainly try them.

Load up one of the latest leaked ROMs (either the AT&T one or the WWE one), or a cooked ROM based on that and you'll see HUGE improvements.
One thing that seems to affect it though is installing a different version of Manilla (especially a CFC one with HD contacts).

Sorry for my lagg there umm you will need to hide modules in sys and oem before cooking rom.. it works great on the 6.1 builds we have made

It depends on what programs you have installed. I installed a .cab that replaces your TF3D theme to the original one w/a flip clock. After words it took almost an entire minute to load up my windows directory.

well..considering some of the tf3d themes have 1000 or so files, that might have something to do with it.

Please help with audio volume

Hi, i'm trying a couple of days now to find a way to increase the volume when i use the headset to listen mp3, does anyone have a solution? i use wm 6.5.

try using MP3Gain. It is free. U can use it to make your mp3 louder.

thanks, i'll try that, but i have seen for other devices hacks for the low volume, i have tried them but they don't apply in vox

Use a Mobile registry editor (like Resco Explorer), goto HKLM->Software->HTC->Audio Gain-> EAC_GainHeadset (I think, or its something HeadSet... I think you can figure that out ) and change it to ... say 70 (do not go above that as sound will crack.).
Hope it helps
