Booting very slowly. Any advice...?

I have the Black 2.0 an Radio 1.40 and Oli 1.40, and I installed "MenMaid" and the SPV M3100 boots very slowly 8-10 minutes, and then it works the same, 2 days ago I had the same problem with MENMAID, and uninstalled and made several soft reset and extract the battery at the end it works well like allways, but now I made the same but it very slowly.
Please Could you tell me any advise?
Thanks.

what does this program do? have you tried it on any other ROMS?

I presume you mean Memmaid? I don't use it but it cleans out memory, notifications etc etc. I'm just wondering if it has a setting to auto clear memory or do some sort of clean up on bootup. If it does, perhaps you need to uncheck that setting?? (Only guessing!)

Sorry the program name is Memmaid, like say Mikechannon. Is allow to clear the memory, registry etc. is like Sktools but I thing less powerful.
I didn´t try with other roms, because I have few time, and I haven´t got any time to recharge and configure all software, althougt at the end I will have to do.

Yes, you at right, is Memmaid. Is posible that has this funcion (cleun up on bootup), but I uninstalled, This haven´t got to happen. No?
-What can I do?
-Can I boot in Secure boot, will do anything? I try it, but say that push the action key (Which is the action key?).
-What will be the best way to change the Rom?
Very tranks for your attention.

Strange I'ved used Memmaid with most WM6 roms without problems.
You've uninstalled and the issue persists? And you are sure it's Memmaid and not anything else? What version of Memmaid are you using?
I guess you could reinstall the newest version (or another suitable program) and check the bootup apps/services and remove some them to see if that helps. While running what services/prog are running??
If not then a HR and see if the issue is really related to Memmaid.

Thanks BorisTheSpider, the version is 1.61., And now it is lower, the last action was to made a Backup with SKTools, but when boot, at the end appear the main windows, but no respons (or very slow).
Now I disconnect the battery, and I am going to remove apps/services
in bootup, but I don´t know each programs made. If I can I will show the apps/services in bootup for help somebody.
Thanks.

Hmm...the problem might be your version, it's quite old. I am running V1.72, PM me if you need the app. I think you should HR to see if the OS is the issue or the apps are the issue.

Thanks for your answering BorisTheSpider. At the end, I made a HR, but I belive to know which is the problem.
I can see that I have 1500 Mbytes used in my SD_Card, but really only had 1100 Mbytes in files. I formatted the SD_Card, but the S.O. say that is used 975 Mbytes and others 900 Mbytes free, I couldn´t format the SD, At the end I could formats the SD with one utility "Format Memorys".
I thought that my real problems could be the SD. I read in this forum that is very common this problem, if used the on/off button to switch off the device and if in bootup is the sddaemon.lnk.
Thanks for your interesting.
I am going to send you a PM.

slow
hey same problem here im using prophet WM5 but the boot time is too long. guess it's because of the slow processor. but it's obviously slower than i first use it. now that i've installed so many things...
but 1 thing is whenever i open the windows folder, it takes like 10 mins to open the folder. is there any rubbish inside any1 removed safely and helps?
any1 has this file called 'cemail' on mydevice ? it's 1.87mb and i dont know what is it's function and it's always there.... too space consuming

Yes, opening the Windows folder is slow - this is due to all the files which are to be displayed.

working on XphoneII
Thanks so much. This is the perfect home screen for me..

some bug???
Hi,
Just want to ask why the time and date disappear on the screen during the time out period? Is this a bug or a feature for less battery power consumption?

it looks like the time and date only show in active status.
is the QVGA version has the same problem?

I think this is for QVGA resolution
Hi,
I think this homescreen is for 240x320 resolution because I just realized that I can not read the whole content of my Appointments. Hope correct version will be posted soon.
Also I am now having problems in uninstalling this from my phone. I tried using Settings in phone and also Add/Remove Program in ActiveSync but still no success. Can someone point me to the right direction?

Yeah. Since I can not uninstall it, I think I better enjoy it.
I just hope a fix for the disappearing Time and Date will be posted soon on your forum site. Please keep us posted here in xda-dev for updates since the site is in chinese ok? Thanks a lot

I dont think its a bug, its a feature, the way it reappears does it in a "fade" fashion, anyway the time appears as fast as I press a key so no biggie there for me. This is originally for QVGA, but was resized for QQVGA (thx for the modifier!), unfortunately some elements were not properly converted like incoming mail and SMS preview going out of the box(or panel?), other than that its excellent, especially the WMP plugin showing an album art in the homescreen while playing. Cool!

Perfect!!
Now your talking. I have reflashed my phone since I can not uninstall the previous version. This is more flawless.
1. The items does not overlap the Glass selection thing especially in the Appointment tab.
2. I finally can see the Right arrow in the Glass selection thing which was missing on the first version.
3. The time and date still disappears from time to time. Can anyone verify that?
Conclusion: Still perfect.

Does anybody else here or is it only me and my XphoneII are having problems in uninstalling the previous version of this Chome screen?
Please help. I have already reflashed many times before just to uninstall and install the newer version and I am already tired of it.

Is it just me....I installed the CHome_2 and I still see the timeout problem.
Which is the better version?

Timeout problem
Regarding my post above....I only get the timeout problem, where the time display disappears, when the display timeout occurs when the phone is locked!
Hope this helps fix it once and for all if it is a bug.

Opera crash

Hi all,
each time I shut down Opera, it crashes, and I have a screen explaining me Opera crach ......
I've the stock release.
This issue appeared one day but I don't know when, maybe a problem with an installed application ????
Any idea to fix it ?
Kaz

Did you install Flashlite 3.1 ? That program makes opera slow and unstable.

thx for your answer,
no flashlite on my phone .......
Kaz

I have the same thing, I have installed quite a few things lately though.
Guess the only option is to hard reset and start over.

i have the same prob. installed latest beta last night still has the same prob. means i cant change the settings and save them, so cant impliment that iplayer fix as a result.

I think I solved the problem. In my case it appeared after I played with build 2808. Opera started crashing on exit and even hanging the device. It turned out that while I didn't have Flash installed, opera.ini still pointed to a non-existing plugin folder, \Windows\Opera9\plugins. So I simply went to opera:config, found the path setting, reset it to default (blank), and the problem is gone!

No, today it started crashing on exit again for no apparent reason, and what's worse, it hangs the device completely!
Does anybody have stock unmodified files so I can try to replace what I have in \Windows\Opera9?

when you say crash, is this when you get the thing asking you to send an error report to m$? if so i get the same thing. i'm unsure whats causing it and dont want to hard reset. the way i olook at it currently is it doesnt seem to crash when i actually use opera so i try and ignore it

Found it!
I had installed that Seismo thing that needs HTCAPI.DLL in the windows folder.
When I removed that, no more Opera crash (yes the one where it asks to send a report to MS)
And I did a hard reset for that!

In my case it was sometimes hanging the whole device. I had to reset it using the button in the battery compartment.
I solved the problem finally (at least it's been working for a whole day without any crashing) by uninstalling .Net CF 3.5 and Gyrator 2

Confirmed. I did it as well. I tried it before removing and got the crash. i removed it, loaded opera, exited it and no crash.
I installed that .dll because VR Hologram needed it.

Same here. Although the strange thing is why it's not crashing with this dll in my \Windows folder.
Maybe it's a trilateral conflict between Opera, .NET CF 3.5 and the dll, and removing one of the three solves the issue?

That sounds plausible, I still have .NET CF3.5 without the DLL and have not had Opera crashing since removing HTCAPI.DLL, I need .NET for more than that DLL.

I confirm. Removal of the htcapi.dll file also solved my opera crash problem.

HTCAPI.DLL versions
Hi All,
I had the same problem with Opera crashing the phone on exit.
today I found that I have 2 htcapi.dll on my desktop that it seems I have downloaded. I was about to delete one of them when I realized that they have different sizes. one around 7KB and the other one around 4 KB.
so I checked the one installed on my HD and it was the 7KB so I replaced it with the smaller one, and so far no crash anymore.
I hope this will help you guys.
I am attaching the file for you to try.
Regards
Bassem

Hey all. I am still having this problem even after deleting the above .dll. Basically when I go to exit opera, the whole phone locks up and I have to hard reset or remove the battery and reset the phone that way. Any suggestions as to what could be going on? It only started this 3 days ago, and I ahven't installed any new apps/programs in the past week.
Edit, solution found in other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468861

CreateDIBSection fail! When trying to adjust audio in Music Player

Hi I have had this issue for a while, and thought I'd try and sort it.
I can't find any answers on it easily on here, there was a post on another board in a massive 70+ page thread, but noone answered it.
Basically I get the attached error message whenever I touch the volume button in the HTC Music Player.
Anyone else seen this and have any ideas
Thanks

I cant believe I am the only one who has had this issue? Its driving me mad, as you have to set the volume before you start the music player.

I did have it sometimes as well, but I can't understand why does it happen sometimes..was a sort of a random error for me.
I wonder why does it occur?

Which is a shame because I have the phone all configured and tweaked just how i like it except for this one little glitch (excluding the fact you need to restart the phone nearly everytime you enable bluetooth )

Well, it is very strange..
I think it normally happened to me after I used the RAM sweeper, but I'm not sure.
Now that I think of it, it could also have been something to do with Brain's taskbar..after I installed DJC's taskbar I can't remember this problem happening again.

[FIX] 2.10 Base 2 bar signal bug

Hello
This is regarding the Rhodium bug once updating the OEM drivers to the latest 2.10 build that many chefs have been getting. I'm not sure if this has any negative side effects (I haven't come across any as of yet).
All you have to do is use rilphone.dll from the 2.7 build (I haven't tried the one from the 2.8 build yet but I might soon). Lemme know if it works.
Happy cooking! (^^,)
This is not a downloadable fix but rather information for chefs.

Yep.. I asked the guys in my thread to use an older rilphone.dll because I was sure that's the problem... but nobody was brave enough to try it. They kept swapping radios for some reason.. LOL Thanks for the tip, I'll just use the older rilphone.dll. That new ATT rom is effing whack!!

Yup.. looks like it is searching for the rilphone.dll in the ROM. copying it over replaced the location. So it is hosed - no phone for me..
Cooking it in is the only way, looks like - Need NRGZ28's help for that.. Unfortunately, my cooking skills don't pass much muster.. lol
Edit: So is there a way to point to the new rilphone.dll location via the registry? Going to be tricky though : ROM vs overwrite location
Edit2: There, that wasn't too bad. Uninstalled the cab and reset - back to using the cooked in rilphone.dll & back to working phone (with 2 bars, ofcourse!) I have the "good" rilphone.dll though. Saved it off before uninstalling the cab - anyone wants it?

Did you try putting phone in airplane mode before installing cab? May'be That could have made a difference!!

Lol.. I'm not hopeful - overwriting a ROM file moves the file system entry (to flash?) and invalidates the ROM file (the Cooks/Chef's will know more). The phone code appears to be hard coded to look only at the ROM file - so no deal it appears..

Well the 'old-fashioned' way was to copy the new rilphone.dll as rilphone2.dll and then edit the relevant registry key to point to it.
Unfortunately, multiple people have tried to do so in the past (check the early Rhodium radio thread posts) and apparently it's something to do with RILPHONE being a module on Rhodium and Topaz devices that makes any method other than cooking it in, fail.

Just for reference, this is the key:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
"Dll" = rilphone.dll
I spent the best part of the evening trying to get it to work, but point it to any other rilphone.dll and I would get no signal at all. Resetting the key back to what it was restored it. Hope that helps.

Thats why a heck of a lot of us are here (at XDA) in the first place.

wait, i'm confused. how do we replace the new rilphone.dll with the good/old one? does anyone actually have it/has anyone gotten it to work?

Da_G explains it pretty nicely in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3354857.
Without the nk.exe patch, when you replace rilphone.dll, the system checks it against it's internal certificate store, finds that it's not signed with a trusted certificate, and refuses to load it. This is why replacing rilphone.dll on unpatched ROM's results in no radio function.

Aye, if I was reading it correctly, there was an alternate way using DriverWiz to cab up the dll which has worked on older devices, even when the nk.exe wasn't patched, e.g. here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3486508#post3486508
Unfortunately, At0mAng tried to use this method at one stage but it didn't work on his Rhodium. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4642101&postcount=215
It would be great if we could get this to work!

Nah wasn't able to fix that.. I'm using rilphone from 2.07 Rhodium ROM, that fixes the 2 bar bug.

What is exactly what you call the '2 bar bug'?
