Hi

I find my old HD2 in junk box after one year, and take it to play with. The first rom i try was this.

I´m very impressed of layout and performens, all work ok for me right "out of box"

Are there still some development of this rom?

Are there still peoples using HD2? If so: what Rom are You using on the HD2, WM 6.5, WM 7.5 or Android ??

Thanks to CRACING !!!

:laugh:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Glad to hear my ROM performed well and you liked it.

Sorry but the development has stopped because I have sold my HD2 and also there aren't any updates which I can provide to this ROM. WM development is officially stopped as well.

As far as HD2 users, There are still many I think but may be only few of them are using WM, just because its no longer supported. Instead they use Android. :)

Thanks...

Hello CRACING!

Have u ever thought of cooking an android ROM? ... it would be amazing to see you cooking for the HD2 again :D hahaha !!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Yes I do thought but Android development looks very complex to me and it hardly enters into my head. When ever I try to dig inside, I feel like getting rid of it. :silly:

Also there are so many expert developers for android and if I make a ROM, it will be just a another ROM. Will be nothing special either.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] efebe:
Well, yes, there are so many expert developers there, but we dont have CRACING as a cook ;) which, i think, would be amazing... And i doubt u wont bring anything special... See, back in the days (when i was using WinMo) your rom was (and im sure still is) the fastest and greatest ROM of all, so I think you can do a great job ;) !! ... BTW, its been great to know that u're still around the HD2 forums :P

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ev0luti0n_:
Hello!

I've installed this rom on my HD2, coming from Artemis v64. I was and still am, an hardcore artemis fan but i was very impressed with your rom. Congratulations on building such a fine release!

In this short list i will enumerate the things i think are pros and cons:

pros:

-super fast boot (never seen this before)

-uber beautifull design

-news break + 4 icon row home screen design/integration

-Phone and menu icons + task menu softkeys perfectly positioned on screen edges

-own customization tool to tweak rom settings

-again.. excellent eye candy and design integration... superb!

-hotmail integration on e-mail client

cons:

-No Portuguese version (i only need the T9 though)

-no 24h format version

-no icons to quickly activate vibration/wifi/bluetooth (they really save time, and on the case of the vibration it saves the precious volume button from braking, due to switching from vibrate to ring all the time)

-no option to use 4 rows on the menus

Note: this was my first impression and i have not used the rom for 24h all together. Will update as that happens... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Welcome to my CR192 ROM thread and I'm glad you liked my release.

Reply to your cons:

1. My ROM doesn't fully support multi languages yet but I will try to solve the users issues in ROMs. I have future plan for multi language ROMs but its just the matter of time. :o

2. 12h format is default setting but if you want 24h format, tap on the clock (home page) -> Menu -> 24-Hour format. Not sure if this is the right thing you are look after.

3. Yeah I'm not using the custom quick list yet. The stock one with only Power Off, Lock device, Set Vibrate and Terminate Data connection options.

4. Thanks for the suggestions. Will sure include in my next release. I had forgot about this. :p

Looking forward to hearing from you...

Thanks...

Best Regards

@ To all others who are waiting for my GTX 2.0 release.

I'm extremely sorry for the delays. As I'm having lack of time. Finding some jobs. :rolleyes:

Hoping to release in the end of this week...

PLS insert Android Launcher for your Rom & make touch button for Lock & Screen Off same as Energy roms

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Sorry but I cannot make my ROMs same as other ROMs. It will be very apart from other. :)

I will try to use the use user friendly apps to make the ROM better but I will not copy others.

Also using many 3rd party app makes ROM slower so I don't like to make more customizations either. I love to keep as official!

Thanks for your suggestions though...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Sorry to say this but I'm not able to get GTX CHT 2.0 working when cooked. Cab works fine.

GTX CHT 1.8.5 worked in a single shot. This took whole day yesterday but there is some problem with add/edit popup menu in edit mode, its coming outside the screen (Half). :S

Well, I takes some time but on the other hand I'm working on some metro ui based ROM. Lets see which one finishes soon. :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ikovac:
I am using your rom for a month now. Not a single glitch. Very good. And I like where you are going with the new version! Keep it simple and leave people to install their favourites on it. Easier for you - better for us.

Not trying to steal the thread here, but I recently got a new android phone (still Froyo 2.2.2 btw) and I was supposed to use it for work. I can tell you that my old HD2 with your ROM is far better choice in business enviroment. Exchange sync is flawless (appointments acceptance and simple mail sending for example), wireless AP settings flawless (some very popular roms overhere have issues with this - forgetting settings for example), and especially the basic phone usage (contacts, recent numbers, texting, and even taking notes etc...) is much better than android. I know WinMo is the MS OS and Exchange MS server but Android fully supports Exchange, right? NO! Check the Contacts fields (e.g. "Other") with same fieldnames as in Outlook, and for example picture sync. It is all wrong/buggy/not working. I guess many people don't care of contact's fields, but in enterprise enviroment (e.g. CRM, Outlook, Company addressbooks and contact exchange) it is a big issue.

Heh after all these years with smartphones (since the original Tmobile MDA/XDA) and despite some good things on Android (using it for over a year) I still find WinMo actually more usable.

The interesting thing is that I have my laptop, HD2 and Android sitting on the desk, all three on wireless. We have Exchange 2010 with Direct Push delivery (mail comes immediately to your phone). Usually HD2 receives it first, then Outlook on laptop (!) and then Android! :D

So thanks Cracing for making me still having my business phone SIM inside my private HD2!

P.S. I don't even dual boot into customized great superduper fast Android Rom on my HD2! And I must say it - it boots up flawlessly from your rom too!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Hello,

Wow your post is so amazing. I never though my ROMs would be so great. Now realized it. My hardwork finally achieved and you gave me boost. :)

Of course, I never liked android. If I would, I had been moved over long ago. Feeling sad that WM is no longer active and hard to move over android dev. Well, I'm trying my best to stay here. Lets see how it goes. :rolleyes:

Hope you'll enjoy the best out of my ROMs. if you have any doubts or issues please share here, if I couldn't someone else will surely help you.

Thanks a lot...

Best Regards

Sorry for the delay. There were some changes to do and they took a while. Now the ROMs finished but unfortunately, wupload is offline for some reason and I'm waiting for it to get online.

Please hang on. :o

Sorry for the delay again friends. My ISP had blocked wupload and some other sites and I have realized lately. Fortunately, changing DNS fixed the issue for time being. :o

Task Bar Clock

Thank you CRACING for an excellent ROM. I'm using your 23SEP11 GTX version on my t-Mobile U.S. HD2, and it's one of the cleanest and fastest ROMs I have tried.

I'm having a slight visual issue with the Task Bar/Menu Clock. When I select 24-hour format, the clock digits shift one place to the right and don't line up with the black background. When I reselect 12-hour format, the clock moves back to it's original position.

I noticed this in the previous version as well, but I've been using your ROM for only about 2 weeks and didn't have a chance to ask about it before you updated.

Any ideas on how to solve this issue?

Thanks again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Hello,

Yeah I have designed the background to fit default clock format background. If you change the format, it doesn't stay in background area.

As you can see the background image of taskbar. The black square (background of clock) is included in the whole taskbar image so even if the above clock text moves, the background image stays as is.

So if we really need to correct it, we have to edit this image and move the black square according to where the clock is present, using image editors.

I will release a 24 hour format cab to fix for this. It also consists, cht my analog clock without AM/PM outline. :)

Thanks for reporting...

Hi Cracing,

I have a very weird problem.

On the first day when I installed your rom, I setup 3 alarms.

the last one did not go off.

I reset it again to 5min later...it did go off...guess what..now the 2 alarms all will go off.

I have disabled the alarm...however...they still go off.

Now i am getting up regularly at 2355 midnight...haha..:)

i guess somewhere the registry may be messed up.

I will reload and try.

btw..i am using the GTX...it is a good rom..

cheers

jack
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Looks very weird but shouldn't happen. Possible registry messed up. Try hard reset or a task29 would better. :)

Using GTX since many days and had no trouble with alarm. Using daily at night.

Hello guys,

Sorry for being out or inactive for many days. And also sorry for the download link getting broken off (Of v6.5.3.1.4b). I didn't expected wupload could remove my files nor I know, until one of user reported me. I didn't think the same file was inactive for 30 days to be the reason for deletion. :S

Anyways, I need some time to reupload or I may come up with new release. Just to cheer up, I'm working with beats audio edition ROM as well. Haven't worked out but hope it will be ready soon. :)

Thanks a lot for your patience...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kanishkapd:
hi cracing

hi

i am interested in trying out your rom. before that can i pls clarify these,

1. is there a video where i can see the rom in action?

2. what is meant by this "Legend of packages: Blue - Updated/Modified, Red - Removed, Green - Newly added." do the rom come in different colurs?

3. are the soft key bar buttons (x button, menu button, phone button) coloured? or do they light up on touching? :)

sorry if my queries are kind of ridiculous. :)

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
1. No, I don't think so.

2. It is a legend so you know which packages or applications in that list were modified from the original ROM. It is not describing colors of the ROM.

3. GTX buttons are white and the onpress action is black/gray. Normal ROMs have black buttons with a white or green onpress action.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kanishkapd:
thanks.

i hope somebody can upload videos of roms...would be helpful to have a look before you actually flash it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Why not just flash the ROM and have a look for yourself? There are images in the first few posts of what the ROM looks like. It only takes five minutes to flash and boot a new ROM. That's much faster than watching a video.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
You are right.

Flash and see how really it is. Doesn't harm to flash either. You can shift if you don't like it. :)

Thanks...

Hi Cracing ... first time to try one of your ROMS. First impressions .. eye catching .. and speedy. No issues installing document reader tab or e-reader tab. Initially tried opera 10 to see if flash worked (yes did select plugin in advanved settings) did't appear to work so revertsed back to 9.7.

Will continue testing ........ must say very impressed

Many thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kanishkapd:
dear cracing

dear cracing,

hi

so i took some time off to checkout your rom. and i m left with mixed feelings.

your rom is fast and eye candy, especially during the startup process. and has

some good features. the best thing i see is that you are committed to continue with wm development.

i loved my previous rom (kumar's touch premium). i looked for another rom because he doesnt support wm anymore. ::confused:

one feature i liked in that rom was the dark black soft key bar with the soft keys lighting up green when touched. is there anyway i can get same feature in your rom too?

and i d like to suggest that it would be nice if you could add some more colour to the task bar, and the settings tab icons too.

and i cant find the ppcbackup application. do i have to separately download it?

and would you consider releasing a rom with cht cooked in? :)

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CRACING:
Have you used opera 10 cab from my ROM package? coz it doesn't support flash.

My main importance is to keep the ROM as official. With non of UI customizations then official changes.

1. Its the theme, you may find in one of the WM themes thread or else send pm to kumar's touch premium developer.

2. Sorry but I would like to leave the UI as official. I do have plans of UI customized, like GTX but no eta. Present idea is Beats Audio Edition which will be in red and black UI.

3. PIMBackup is included in the ROM and can be found in Start -> Phone -> PIMBackup.

4. Yes I do have plan of releasing a black ROM (like the present official alike) with CHT 1.8.5 and/or 2.0 but no eta either.

Thanks for choosing my ROM and pleasure to hear more feedbacks from you. Hope you enjoy the best...

Best Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kanishkapd:
thanks

thanks cracing,

i found the ppcbackup. :D

i will give my likes and dislikes of your rom. hope it would be of any use to u, for the future updates.

likes.

1. faster than the previous roms i used. nice boot up screens too.

2. nice icons. but would have liked them to be bit larger and colourful.:)

3. nice to have the task manager at bottom right.

4. like your idea of giving the user the choice of installing preferred opera version.

5. no unnecessary additions. some roms have 2, 3 different apps with same functionality.

6. secure box and the in call recording options. (dont know if these are present in all stock roms, but, useful at times.)

things i miss from the previous roms i used,

1. CHT and editor.

2. as mentioned above prefer slightly larger more colourful icons.

3. prefer to have colourful task bars and bottom bars. i know its your vision of keeping as much stock UI. but some users prefer more colour.;)

4. android loader app would be useful to some users.

5. cooked in zoomer app, capture screen app., shutdown app.

overall i m satisfied with the rom and going to use it from now on. :) the major plus point for me is your continuous support for wm and this rom. i have been trying to install some custom task bars and bottom bars but would not work out. even steve's start button icon app wont work. appreciate if you could give some advice on those.

and thanks very much for your work and support.
