@Laurentius26

I know it's not my business but I don't think vicai meant to flame you.

I suspect he just wanted to report his observations in a funny way by joking with the "not a bug, it's a feature" cliche.

I only write this because I find it's a pitty when this kind of misunderstanding happens between nice people...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
It's not the first time and I do feel offended indeed.

And about my English, I work together with a whole team and never had a fight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antaed:
Of course, I might be wrong; in which case I apologize for my unnecessary intervention.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
We are currently testing Platinum v1.1 Rotation and it looks good.

I get positive feedback from team.

But we need to test a few days.

It's because of the MS contact manager fix and the dialer, a port of com 2 and 3.

We where facing some issues with call history and notification manager, but it seems stable now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
I love this threads :)

Not too crowded (unlike other ROM threads), so we can give more attention to someone else's post and gives constructive feedback, or at least show appreciation to the devs/cooks and team :)

I hope that this weekend we'll have some good time (..flashing time ;) )

Cheers...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Yep, not too crowded yet and very personal thread as well :)

Believe me, we´ve had "flashing time" all easter long, but it´s also fun and very interesting to see how little changes can have a hughe effect - positive or negative on a ROM. I´m convinced though, that this will all be very beneficial for users, since there is so much flowing into this development - especially these days where it seems that WinMo is fading, its amazing what Leo and the others are getting out of this and the HD2 :D

So, thanks for beeing here and sharing your findings ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thanks Silverwind,

We have been testing the v.1.1 Rotation version whole night yesterday and it looks good.

So far still no major bug reports by the team. ;)

Currently I'm uploading the full version for team so it can be tested too.

It was already mentioned in version 1 that the full version doesn't support full rotation but I've made a extra change on it to make it more stable.

As you probably know the dialer included is a special version which supports full landscape. In version 1 I used this dialer on both roms but in version 1.1 I'm going to change it.

It seems like most users are interested in the full version anyway and this will give me the time improving the rotating phonecanvas.

The phonecanvas is depended on several other functions in the rom so to give CHT Team a more stable testing enviroment the full version will have a non patched phonecanvas

that doesn't support landscape as in stock rom. I will also include default lockscreen in the full version.

The v.1.1 rotation version I will upload this weekend too for test if you like.

Like I said it's working perfect now but it does need some extra work as it can cause conflicts if you change the lockscreen

for example or change taskbar icons or software depended to contacts etc.

My final goal is to patch phcanhtc in the rotation version and not replacing files in sys.

This way we can use both lockscreens and whatever software you like.

Offcourse if the phocanvas is more stable in the rotation version I will apply to the full version as well.

I hope that's clear LoL :D ;)

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:

Cheers friends, thank you! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Skyguar:
Hi Laurentius26,

Using your Rom for about a week and I must say I am very happy with it. The only one problem I found was weather which is not updating via wifi, only via mobile networks. Rom is fast, smooth and stable. Thanks for it very much. ;)

When could we expect your new Rom? Reading the good impressions from the beta team, so I am very curious :) Maybe this weekend?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Skyguar,

Thank you for the compliment.

Yep we are planning a release this weekend. :)

Not sure if it will be saturday or sunday as we are still updating some stuff but both roms are very stable.

The weather update and wifi we will investigate.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Skyguar,

glad your happy with the ROM - and you´ll also see that icon customization will be a "piece of cake" since Leo has done something "special" to it as well. No more chasing of "blind" or "wrong" icon paths :D

On the last betas that have been tested, Weather updates fine, also with wifi - behaving like you´re used to ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
I am back ! :-)))

Good ROM. I could use some help here....Does anyone knows how to remove RSS feed from home screen ? Thanx. :-)

p.s.

updating weather through WIFI works just fine for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Skyguar:
Thanks BHS Interceptor,

Looks like the one has always to track you because you are always after "what is best on the net and you know what is best on the net"! ;) By the way, I solved the problem with the icon in personal folder with the registry key which was not present in registry :D. All my icon theme works great now! Thanks for the helping hand and waiting impatiently what you guys prepared for the weekend! ;)

Regards,

Skyguar
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rataplan:
Welcome back ;)

To remove RSS feed from the home screen just go to the Setting tab/Personalize/Home screen tabs and uncheck RSS Feed

Greetz,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Final tests are started for both roms....

What's updated I will tell to you this weekend.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Tin, glad to read your back. I already missed you and was starting to worry ;) Looking forward to more of your "art work" :D

Regarding the RSS Feed (home screen widget, not RSS tab) on the home screen (little feed below flip clock) you can make it disappear with a change one key in registry HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila

"enable landscape" must set to "true" instead of "false", and the small rss widget will disappear... By doing this the only "glinch" you´ll have, is that in albums landscape, you won´t see the slideshow button (it´s there though and can be used).

Another option would be to install CHT and no reg changes needed - after CHT install, the rss widget will also dissappear, but the slide-slide-show button will remain in LS :)

Thanks for confirmation on weather update via wifi ;)

You´re welcome. Glad to read your icons are all the way you like them and yes, waiting will be more than worth it :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rataplan:
Oops, I misread your post, I'm glad Ber set this straight.

Enjoy the rom, and watch this thread, something great is coming soon. ;)

@ Ber, thanks buddy, this is real teamwork. :)

Greetz,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
Oh...but I do not have rss Feed option there.RSS Feed is not a tab.It is Homescreen widget.

I rememberd Laurentius ROMS since old Universal devices.They were known as very stabile and fast...It is pleasent surprise and nice to see his ROMS how behave on new devices. Excellent work indeed.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
@Rataplan, you´re welcome buddy - I just remembered that one very well since Leo included it especially for some of us. Initially I also thought about the tab, because we´re not used to have a rss widget on home tab anymore (except CHT users with the addon widget) :D

@Tin, glad it worked. Indeed, Leo´s ROMs have always been, and always will be, GREAT ROMs ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
One more night, tomorrow we are going to publish the roms.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thanks mate, I think Uni was one of the best devices ever, the fastest processor available that time.

Great keyboard.

It looked a bit weired making a call with it but I loved it. :)

On my job they called me 'sticky' with my stylus. :D

[May 01] Update V2 Platinum roms

Dear friends and fans,

Laurentius 26 HD2 Platinum V2 (full and rotation) is online.

What's changed you can find in post 3 of this thread HERE.

The downloads you can find in post 1 of this thread.

Timmy's showcase on page one of this thread is now outdated and that's my fold as

I didn't give Timmy the new images yet.

Attached are 2 images to give you a impression of V2.

I like to give a special thanks to the Laurentius 26 Team for testing and CHT Team for the new start menu and

awsom startup animation and Sense modifications.

Thank you all for the kind feedback and bug reports making it possible to improve the roms.

Grtz,

Laurentius26 :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] love is me:
Thanks Leo,

We have worked hard on V1 & V2 on the Platimum versions.

well done.

looking to see more from you :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MichelDiamond:
Oh, I know this phrase :)

Yeah, this is real teamwork and you've made an extraordinary job!

This is the first ROM, where I haven't found any major (not even minor) issue.

Also all tests with CHT-Suite were successful. So it's running great together with CHTE, CHTS and Loco.

Especially Loco and some system parts of CHTS and CHT shows, that this ROM is doing only, what the user needs & wants and is acting great to the battery!

The location services works country-independent very exact and so it can be highly recommended for the users of the CHT-Suite as well for all others, especially the rotation-fans.

so: fast, stable & great battery usage together :)

Thanx for the hard work!

Micha
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
Downloading and flashing. It is major release.

After reading changelog, it seems that updates are made throughout all ROM.

Before flashing, is there any report for excluded RSS Feed widget from ROM homepage or it is still there ?

UPDATE :

I see on the image that RSS Feed is here. Ups! I should use "old" reg hack. ;-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Tin2404,

On the full version the RSS widget is there.

On the rotation version there's no RSS on home.

If you like the full version and want to have it without the RSS on home I can make a small cab later.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
Excellent !Thank you very much ! It will help other users also.

I do have big fingers and always mistakely activate RSS when I want to open clock.

Right now I am looking forward to do some "light" themes and customisation addons for this baby. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
As a first step,unpacking ROM to see manilla files needed for weather widget and weather mod inside ROM ( for those who do not want install CHT ).

I allready have a smashing idea for new weather animations ( with fade in/fade out effects) and graphics decent to this ROM release!:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Sounds good. :)

There's no CHT cooked in the roms.

If you like to help us with skinning I can invite you to the team so we can further discuss.

Please pm me at Laurentius26.net and I will update your account. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] love is me:
A new skinner in da hood ;)

Greetz,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
Hi everyone. Thanks for this great ROM Laurentius. Quick question..I have installed V2 Rotation and i was wondering if there is a registry entry for manila to rotate clockwise instead of counter-clockwise. It will be a very big help if it can be done.

Thanks a gain for a great ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Stathis95194,

I know a sensor app exist to make it rotate to all sides but I have no idea how to make the Rotation version rotate clock-wise.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I've made a cab to disable the RSS widget on Sense home in the FULL version.

From now on I will collect all futher cabs below changelog in post 3 of this thread HERE

Enjoy. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
Thank you for invitation.I will reply.:D

I know there is no CHT installed in the ROM, but I think further for users who will install it.;)

Thanks for cab release !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HorstDCC:
major release

sooo happy with Platinum V2.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Welcome on board my friend, thank you. :)

Edit; btw your account is updated. :D;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
Thank you...I am planing to publish my Platinum Laurentius Weather for your ROMS on your site first, then here soon as it will be done somewhere about this week :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thank you very much my friend, I'm looking forward to it. :)

If you need anything for the skinning just give me a call.

Edit; btw I have introduced you to the team as well. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
Pease can you provide me a link if you know, or reference where to look for DOCUMENTS TAB ?

I know it is not attent to be part of this excellent ROM because of possible stabillity issue,but I do need it because it has been so handy to me for my work and bussines. :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
On the Internet tab, the title "Internet" is written twice one on the top of the other. Is this because of my tweaks or it's the same for everyone? Just a cosmetic thing, but to have it in mind for future releases
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Tin,

Forgive me but I do not understand.

The FULL version contains the documents tab.

If you like to have the dumped files I can give them to you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
No.unfortunatelly there is no document tab. :-(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Tin, regarding the Documents Tab, Leo included this one already on request in the "Full" version (the one without full rotation), and it´s extremely stable (as well as Footprints and RSS Tab - but you can disable any tab you don´t like or use without any "side" effects on ROM) . In this case, you also have the rss widget on home tab - reg tweak will disable it - and also very stable (tested extensively with CHT). Once you install CHT, the rss widget will also disappear fron Home Tab, so no reg tweak needed if you install CHT :D

Hola Stathis, from your screenie I take it you have the "Rotating" version. On the "Full" I can´t reproduce your issue, so before flashing your version, I´ll wait until another TeamMember running the same as you reports back, but there was no mention of that in BetaGroup. Could you please let us know if you applied any tweaks/cabs that could influence on "TopCurtain", "TabTitles" or "Title Bars"?

@Leo, muchas gracias for this new release... and outstanding ROMs :D

Especially for beeing so patient and willing to read and listen to all of our input and "wishes" You really ROCK :p - I love this ROMs

@Laurentius26 beta team members, it´s been a real pleassure and rewarding experience to be able to test all the beta versions and updates with you in team.

Outstanding Team Work guys, thanks to all of you ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tin2404:
UH !! I SEE NOW ! I HAVE DOWNLOADED "LIGHT" VERSION !

THANK YOUUUU !! :eek::eek:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hihi ROFL, sorry friend! :D

@Ber, thank you very much, I almost needed to return to the full version. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
You´re welcome amigo :D

@Leo, we all need an excuse to reflash another version, lol

I wish I had still both HD2s, one for each version ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
@Ber i applied my standard tweaks but nothing to do with topcurtains etc. But for sure it might be something i applied. If anyone else can confirm this on Rotating version it would be nice to know.

Oh and another question. If i flash the Full version and run the .cab for Rotation my difference will be only that documents and footprints don't rotate?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Everything will rotate but those two tabs will look like Co0kie monster's his eyes haha :D;)

No, serieus. I don't like the rotation of those two tabs on the full version.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Thanks for checking Stathis ;) Awaiting confirmation from team...

On flashing "Full" version and applying the cab, as Leo answered ...

... It will rotate all Manila Tabs as well, but you´ll lose the "natural" rotation and LandScape animation on the following three tabs:

- Albums, MusicPlayer and Documents.... These rotate into Landscape without the rotaion cab, but the rest of manila/sense will not rotate. Some of the standard apps will rotate anyway as intended behaviour.

The two tabs that don´t make sense with this rotation will be Footprints and Documents because they´re rotable, but don´t really have a function in LandScape - besides not "looking" as good as the other tabs. Btw, this happens to any other ROM that has LandScape, because Footprints HAS NEVER been ported to LandScape, and with documents, you´d have to rewrite a lot within the manila core files and registry to keep rotation on this tab and the rest of Manila (same as for kkeping natural animation in Landscape for albums and music)

The rotation cab enables full manila rotation as well as for all apps included in ROM.

Since I like the "Full" version, as well as the natural animation on the three mentioned tabs, I don´t mind the rest of Sense not rotating. For all apps to rotate, I simply use my personal workaround, a "manual" rotate. Using xTask/xHook, I assign the windows softbutton (there is also a hard key anyways) to the rotate function within xTask, so everytime I want to rotate anything (except Sense Tabs), I simply tab on the win softbutton (I also changed the icon for it) and I have what ever I want in Landscpae - then again, and I´m on portrait view. If I´m not mistaken, you can also assign rotation "counter clockwise" by changing the degrees in xTask ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Stathis, just got some feedback regarding your internet tab.... There were some taskbar tests done during beta testings, and Mike checked also the one visible on your screenshot - he remembered having the same effects on the tab as well as on the pin code pad... Could you check if the issue dissappears once uninstalling the custom taskbar you´re using atm? Just for information, most some custom taskbars might not work properly with the newest builds and dlls. From the over 20 custom taskbars tested, so far only three really work 100% :rolleyes: Atm, Leo and the team are also working on "preparing" some custom taskbars for this ROMs. Hopefully we´ll be able to have a few different ones to choose from made specifically for these ROMs :D

On the screenie below, you can see my internet tab and also a test candidate regarding the battery icon on taskbar ;)

Btw, I´m sure you´ll love beeing able to also switch between the different taskbars for these ROMs with CHTS :eek::p:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicai:
hi Stathis95194,

i am using some taskbar custom, and i have normal txt on rotation version. check my attach.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BHS Interceptor:
Muchas gracias for your confirmation Vicai ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicai:
nada mi amigo. told you, i will support as much as i can :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I uninstalled the taskbar and everything is ok. Thanks a lot!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the0stranger:
Rotation

Looks cool - is there something that needs to be configured to turn on the full rotation - I have none.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vicai:
nope, just download the rotation version (not the full!) and in *.7z you have

L26 Autorotate.cab

just install it after flashing, and voila :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Skyguar:
Well, this Rom will definetely stay on my htc hd2 for some time, I will definetely reconsider my ORD :D. Simple: perfect! Thanks Laurentius26, thanks for all of your team, CHT team, testers for this work! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hehe, I can't use my thanks button for today, so I do it this way. :D

Thanks Skyguar, such comments make us happy. :)

Greetz,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hi Stathis, right after flash my Internet Tab title looks fine, but after installing my tweaks, it gets messed up. Do you by chance increase the number of shortcuts that display? That is one of the tweaks I apply that I suspect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the0stranger:
Thanks! didn't see that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
@Skyguar, thank you very much my friend.

My thank you for today are finished as well.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
Osi no for me it was the taskbar. I uninstalled it and the problem was fixed.
