Guest florin_m Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hi! Just as i promised i finished my first tweaked firmware for SPV. This is only for developers!!!! I need few beta testers for it! What's new in my flash: The same improvements as DK update, but few of them bugs fixed (receiveing sms while keylocked on is not more crashing), profiles all working ok. Few more speeding :). A bit of animation...and few more things wich u'll see. The flash is ready for developers (have installed all tools necesary for that). That mean is working OK with evc ;) even debuging :lol: To get access to it u need to subscribe my forum and write a note about yourself (my forum can be found at: http://www.migsoft.co.uk/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi ) This is a precause metod only case i don't want normal users to kill their phones! So only users wich want to test my firwmare to join my forum!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ajb3000 Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Why don't you get a job with Orange, as from the sound of it you by yourself can fix problems their entire SPV can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 OMG! Florin you are scary :) I hvae just installed this, and it is quite amazing. Faster than the DK update, without the bugs... awesome! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutzh Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hi there- geeky enough to ask - but I can't get it there, I am no developer... Any other sources available? Cheers, Lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest florin_m Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I'm waiting users feed back about it. When is bug free i'll post a version for everyuser, with a install program. I'm waitng the users wich allready install on their phones to post on my site about what others bugs(if i left any :) ) are in the phone. Best regards, Florin Mandache P.S. I allready offered to work for orange or MS or HTC but no answers from them yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Treadsoftly Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hi florin, Well I don't think I'm advanced enough to fiddle around with this myself, but when you're confident of releasing it for everyone who has enough knowledge to follow the instructions to de-dertify the phone, I'll be first in the queue. Look forward to the release, and well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Florin, have you asked anyone about the legality of this? P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Will Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Hoping to get access to the beta or for the release version when available :wink: Aside from legality, I wonder how far you can mod the phone, until OCS give up on you for hardware faults? Like in the PC industry if you change OS's quite a few of the larger companies offering warranties and support, start getting shirty.. and if you update the bios. they virtually hang up the phone. (this is not a dig at anyone, or a complaint, merely a thought). Will :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sprouts42 Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I signed up for the forums, but after reading everyone elses qualifications I feel a little under qualified. Ah well, I will wait for general release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest florin_m Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 For normal users will be back with licence on. This was just for developers! That's why not all users have access to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevlar Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Paul, how about a little rundown of what florin has achieved here? a sort of beta review. That is of course if mr Florin doesn't mind, obviously. He probably wouldn't mind actually, as it's all advertising for him. May get him his job with Orange!

Guest madu Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 I will check it this w/end if I get my SD - been waiting 3 weeks now. It's at the postoffice now, so unless they cocked up again, I will be reviewing this tweak tomorrow night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutzh Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 I would really love to get the bugs out of my DK/German Language SPV - Florin, open up the gates :-)... Cheers, Lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest casper508 Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Has anyone else installed it (apart from Paul) ? Any review ?? Cas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutzh Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 yes, i did. but i wasn't invited. i don't like the modified blue screen and i can't change my timezone - spv hangs up if i try to change it. all the other bugs i've had with the dk update seem to be fixed (sms/profile bug). cheers, lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alkis_y3k Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Wow, is this safe to install? I have the UK Orange SPV, wont that confuse things? Sounds cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jacoch Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 yes, i did. but i wasn't invited. i don't like the modified blue screen and i can't change my timezone - spv hangs up if i try to change it. all the other bugs i've had with the dk update seem to be fixed (sms/profile bug). cheers, lutz I changed the time zone with the tweak installed. It was quite long (2-3 mins) and the spv seemed to be frozen. But after a while, it comes back and applies the change. Just be more patient. Don't forgot it's MS inside :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest florin_m Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 To lutzh : If u don't like my blue screen then do not use it ;) I'm aware of the time-date bug. Just fix it along with other few bugs from my beta 1 :) Tonight i'll upload a beta 2 on my site wich supposed to be more stable and less dangerous to install it :lol: ( no more pboot update cause this can kill the blody phone) If beta 2 is no more bugs, then I'll make it public for everyone!

Guest lutzh Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hi Florin, usually I don't see the blue screen so often so I don't care that much. I just needed to fix the DK update bugs - and thats done now. I am looking forward to the next release from you and I hope I'll have better luck this time in getting it. Cheers and thank you!

Guest madu Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Right then! I second that changing timezone is a bit slow but yes it does work after appearing to be frozen for a minute. The rest seems to be working just fine. The blue screen is not the best design, but hey - the man deserves a bit of credit once in a while when the phone is powered on/off. I have noticed no bugs so far to be honest. Florin, do you know much about T9 DLLs?? Do you think it is possible to put one together or modify existing ones? Also, I know I mentioned it before, but it would be v nice if it was possible to allow 'Delivery reports' to be ON for all SMSs.. Looking fwd to update. PS: Is pboot like a 'boot sector' in memory? What exactly is modified in pboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Nice one Florin I'll try to sit and wait :) Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lutzh Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Hi together- I don't care about the bootscreen since I usually never see it - especially after this update... Also, I know I mentioned it before, but it would be v nice if it was possible to allow 'Delivery reports' to be ON for all SMSs.. Looking fwd to update. madukraininan - this is tricky - at least here in Germany you pay for this, the deleviry report is charged as an SMS - so it would be better to leave it as an option instead of coding it hard....

Guest lutzh Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 ... it's a waiting game. Sit back, relax and wait a while... Cheers, Lutz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madu Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Lutzh is right - no rush here... And the O update is (as it seems) to be out very soon (and we all hope it's true) :) Florin is not the most generous person, but he does what he does and it's his right.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
