Original HTC Home icons

Edit : Sorry to bother you. I found out that after deactivating Home plugin from the home settings, it is installed and OK.

Hi Swiftblade,

I very much appreciate your tremendous efforts to make your ROM better and better everyday. So far, it is the fastest and most reliable ROM I've used. Good job. Thanx a lot.

Just one question : How can I go back to the original HTC Home icons? I tried the HTC Home cab file you posted but it gave an error that the program or settings couldn't be installed. What did I do wrong? :confused: Please help.

Regards,

Is it just me? 2.10 slower than 2.01?

I just flashed the version 2.10 and it seemed like slower than the 2.01.

Is there a reason for it? It is very laggy compared to 2.01.

I did a hard reset after flashing. Screen showed up quite slow and execution of every screen had a long pause to it. It is empty with nothing installed!!:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi existenz... before you installed the OEM HTC Home posted at the first post over the one installed on the rom, do the following steps:

1. Disable the HTC Home plug from Today first. Go Start-->Settings-->Today-->Items-->Uncheck HTC Home.

2. To be safe, do a soft reset.

3. Now you can installed the the new OEM HTC Home.

Cheers..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey jychan28... I have installed both the v2.01 and v2.10 and the speed is similar. The only changes made was replacing the MediaHubMini.exe with a patched one to get the cube the launch camera album properly. Maybe it's a bad flash. You may want to re-flash and see is it better. These things do happen 1 out of 50 flashes.

I did notice that during the initial start-up for both versions, there is a slack while the system is initiating and subsequently should be very fast.

Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey somchai15... it probably the network wizard had set the GPRS Authentication Mode for XL Com wrongly. Try to change the registry value of "NDISGPRSAuthenticationMode" from 2 to 1 or 0 under[HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\XXXXXXXX\Connections\XL Com (GPRS)]

Hope it works for you. Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] existenz:
Thanx. I did it already and it works fine. Now; I would like change the numpad where I input my sim pin and the call log icons near every call item (missed, in and out icons) to original ones. Do you have a cab for these? Or, do I need to change them manually and how?

thanx again.

Moving Office to storage Card is not possible it gives errors opening Files.

Same for MSN it won't let you log in.

But Adobe reader..... I have a package for that.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1659360&postcount=6

But it won't be set to file ahndler for PDF's

Let's say i download your rom and re extract it.

It will give a large amount of files missing while extracting and sometime the extracting process won't put them in the correct folders.

But for regular cooking that is not something important. But making vanilla the rom will always be reextracted. So it helps out cooks not to have files in the wrong places and getting confusing errors.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Not very clear what you want to change. I guess you wanted the original dialpad. If that's is what you want, you can use the Advanced Configuration Tools in Accessories to do that:

Go Start-->Program-->Accessories-->Advanced Configuration Tool-->Phone Tab-->Uncheck "Show video dialer"-->Click "Done"

Device will reset and you will get back your original dialpad.. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] existenz:
No, not exactly what I meant.

1. I want to change the dialpad which comes when you first started your phone where it is asked to enter the pin for the sim card back to the original HTC one.

2. I also want to change the icons near the each call log item indicating which type they are; missed, coming call or outgoing call.

Are these possible? :confused:

Regards,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Okay I think I am abit clearer what you are asking.

Question 1: You are referring to the original Network Wizard that auto-start configuration each time you inserted a new sim card. I have the cab which I attach here. Install it and it will auto-start configuration.

Question 2: Call type icon only show in the original dialpad but not the video dialpad. You revert back to the original dialpad as instructions given in the earlier post and see is that what you want.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] existenz:
Well, not what I wanted. :o So sorry.

Let me put it this way;

You soft-resetted your Touch. When it starts again you will first see htc logo and then microsoft mobile splash screen, finally you will see a dialpad and there will be some text up indicating you to enter your pin no. That is the dialpad I want to change. I don't want those seperate shinny buttons but I want to have the dialpad which comes with the OEM ROM.

The other one is the call log icons. When you start call log app, there are the calls you received, you made and missed on the right side, right? And on the left, there are corresponding icons (shinny again) indicating what type they are. These are the icons I want to revert to ones which come with OEM ROM.

Hope this time it is more clearer. :) Sorry once again.

I had installed Battery Status Build 243 and ROM v2.10. I reset my phone in the morning around 8:00 and I found the Program Ram is slowly reduce from 22M to 16.2M as at now 22:53pm. There is no program except Battery Status is running. Is it the problems of memory leak of OS or it is Battery Status caused the problems.:confused: :confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akagi07@hotmail.com:
hi yes finally updated to the newest ROM.. everything so fast now.

but can check if this is my touch display problem or wat?

after the update, if I locked the phone, put in standby mode, when I on back the backlight again, the display seems fickered alot.

nothing happen if i left it unlock. scared me
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
Switfbalde

Is it possible to show the BT status at today to indicate if the BT is on or not.

Thanks

:):)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
That dialpad is in a dll file as BMP resources together with the battery icon.

It can be replaced but you then need to resign the dll.

So it's not an easy replacement.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey existenz.. if you have that OEM ROm that you are talking about or the .dll then we can do something to it.

-->Nooski - Thank for the clearing up the issue..:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
It is the memory leak that we are talking caused by both the OS and battery status. Batterystatus Build 243 is the most memory efficient but memory leak is still present. The OS will caused memory leak bet'n 1.5~2M per day without reset.

There is such a today plug-in available if you search the forum butI think is a waste of resources as the blue flashing light will already tell you that BT is on.

First of all congrats on your successful download and flashing to v2.10. I wouldn't reproduce the display flickers that you are talking about so I assume it is not caused by the rom. It maybe one the today plug-in apps or software you installed that caused it. Cheers..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akagi07@hotmail.com:
alright.. if thats the case. i could only tot of the HHC customizer..

i will try hard reset again..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mingean:
great.... just what i needed :)

thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] C J:
Swiftblade, v2.10 is indeed faster.. :)

Have not encountered any problems so far except for this..

Comm Manager icon backgrounds seems to be of different shades of grey.

And when I use advance configuration to change icons to 8 instead of 10, it's not only the colours but the alignments that are giving the problems.

See the attached pics for better understanding..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey CJ... haha you have over-abused the advanced configuration tool to alter the sequence of apps and changing it into 8-buttions. This is because the graphics files are numbered accordingly and sized to 10 buttons. It should look like this screenshot below which is taken from my device.

Change the sequence back to the one shown in the screenshot and it should be alright... Cheers

HTC Album issues

Hi,

looks like I am experiencing problems with the Launch of Picyries as well as Videos...

When launch "Pictures" via the Cube I can see only Images downloaded for my Spb Insight - but not my actual pics which I stored in 100MEDIA on the SD Card.:confused:

When trying to launch 'Videos" - "no files found" shows (my Videos are also stored in a "My Videos" Folder on the SD card.:(

Any idea's how the Registry can be set in such a way that the appropriate Files are opened?

Thanks a lot for yr Assistance/Advise!:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey somchai... first of all, has your network problems resolved?

Now come to pictures problem. The "Photos" should launch the Storage Card\DCIM\100MEDIA directory where you stored your pictures. I think when you installed Spd Insight, it have altered the default directory. Uninstall spd insight and see whether you get back your pictures. If that's true then we have to do a registry tweaks if you still want to install spd insight. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] existenz:
I think you already have the OEM ROM 2.20 WWE that I was talking about.

Actually, what I really want is to have all the home plugin & other graphics same as the original HTC ROM with your 2.10 ROM apps, Pagepool, storage, RAM and etc. I suppose there may be other people that will appreciate this type of custom ROM too. But, since I know that you're busy of studying on your ROM to make it even better than ever, I simply couldn't ask it before. :o If you say I can't, that is fine. I will stick to your ROM anyway. Thanx. :)

HTC Album issues

Hi,

tks for yr fast reply....

I saw yr suggested changes for the Network issue but was too lazy to switch over SIM Cards until now...hehe...but am sure that yr tweks will solve the issue (seems to be an issue with the new ROM..as with the orig Touch ROM I have no problem...)

I un-installed Spb Insight....now it shows me all the Pics I have on the Storage Card (incl Album Pics fm iPhone Artworks) = something I also don't want!

All I want is that it shows me the Pics which I have in 100 MEDIA resp the Video's I have in the My Videos Folder on the SD card.

Any ideas?;) Thanks!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
hey somchai... if you want to point the cube launchers to a different directory than the default one, you can try to install Touch Settings from this thread HERE. You then can change to the directory you desired. Cheers..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Per Knutsen:
Great Rom. Thank you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akagi07@hotmail.com:
oh ya. i found my touch display fickering is due to the HHC home customizer..

still wondering what's wrong .. unable to change the theme design now..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi akagi... which version of the rom did you install? I am on v2.10 and I have HTC Home Customiser installed and working without any problems. I'm puzzled too. :confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] benjieguingona:
Looks like a great ROM Swiftblade. Congratulations on the great work! It looks like this will be my first "flashing"! I just wanted to know though if Cyberon Voice commander 2.0 is included in the programs as it came with my touch and i use it a lot and would terribly miss it if i lost it. Thanks!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
The Cyberon Voice Commander 2.0 in the original ROM is being replaced by Voice Speed Dial 1.2 in this ROM which is working fine. Try it and if you still prefer the Cyberon voice commander, there are installation cab for it. Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] iceggy:
I have some mix feeling on the new rom ( v2.10 ). I feel it is much slower than v1.21. I keep seeing the "hour" turning on the "home" page. I don't see that while I was using v1.21.

Anyhow, I will keep a look out for any new update ROM.

Question: How you manage to update the Radio to 03.97.90?? I am still on 2.97.9 ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] millenium:
v2.10

hi everone..,.. i ve got to try this version.

Download from RARHOST

Download from RARHOST - If anyone is having problems about being returned to enter the keycode over and over again, please make sure that scripting is enabled in your browser (esp. if using noscript plugin with Firefox).

About BatteryStatus and memory leak - Its true that the OS leaks memory...but BatteryStatus makes it look worse in my opinion. Frankly, I was using the app to overclock for a more responsive Touch. But with this ROM, I've not had the need to overclock. It is responsive in itself.

For records - I've not rebooted since the last 72 hours now and my free memory is at 21.3 MB - normal usage (calls, music, video, browsing, email), one power recharge.

I'm happy :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
hi iceggy... shouldn't be so. v2.10 is definitely faster than v1.21. You may want to try to re-flash it. I am using v2.10 and I don't have to overclock it with batterystatus and it fast enough.

Updating to radio need another flash with the radio. Someone put up 3.97.90 radio in this forum. Do a search for it and flash it to update your radio. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ngchinlam:
hi swiftblade,

any other places i can download your rom. I like your 1.21 very much, but i can't seem to download from any of the 3 sites.

I tried using 3 browser but no luck on rarhost
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi ngchinlam... Willing as I may, I am afraid I am at my wit's end with this downloading thingy. We are really at the mercy of these file-sharing hosting site unless someone who has plenty of bandwidth and kind enough to mirror it here. So be patient and keep trying.

HINT: The trick I used with Rapidshare is quickly pressing [F5]-->[Enter] repeatly after each failed attempt until I succeed. No Guarantee... of course.. Cheers..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ngchinlam:
Thanks for the tips,will give it a try later. by the way , your rom is really good. cheers.....

[Touch GSM ROM Development] boybi:
I just flashed my 2 day old Touch with this ROM. I then patched the HTC Home with N2A's to include my city in the weather options. I forgot to backup my phone. The HTC Home now reverted back to the 3-button OEM one and I can now view my city's weather. But I like the new HTC Home with 6 buttons that is included in this ROM. Is there a way to go back to the new 6-button HTC Home and still be able to view my city's weather?

Great work on this ROM btw!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Thank you very much for the new mirror, maassk213... :) :)

New download link copied to first post... DONE!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey boybi,

If you only want your city in the weather tab, you actually need to replace the HH_0409_Weathercities.xml file, do a soft reset and it should do the trick. Remember to disable the weather auto-update first.

Since you have already installed the N2A HTC Home over the rom's one, this is what you can do:

1. Use Total Commander to make a copy of the HH_0409_Weathercities.xml in the Windows directory of your device now and save it somewhere in the SD card.

2. Uninstalled the N2A HTC home, disable weather auto-update and do a soft reset.

3. Copy back and replace the HH_0409_Weathercities.xml in the Windows Directory and do a soft reset.

You should see your own city now...

first time rom upload 4 me, worked a treat, well pleased . been faffing about trying install the weather fix (long winded) ,when all was needed was to install this rom which was easy ..... happy days!:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] iceggy:
Hi Swiftblade,

I got it fix. I flash it with the original HTC ROM first, then, I flash again with your wonderful ROM.

So, far, it has shown really big difference. I can say now that this v2.1 is really fast. :)

Thanks for the wonderful ROM.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] boybi:
I followed your step-by-step guide. The HTC Home is now back to the one that came with this ROM (6-button). But now I can't retrieve the weather data for my city. I think N2A mentioned that he made a patch that would get the data for a particular city from his own server.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
If N2A has done it thru' a patch, it's probably a file named Weathercitiies.mui.0409 or maybe HTCHome.mui.04049 or somtheing like that. Look for the file if you can and copy it to the windows directory. If not, you can upload the N2A HTC Home.cab here and I will take a look at it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey linwen... you can choose a different theme tsk file to change the Today background. There are two tsk files, HTC default and HTC_brand and even Greenland Meteor inside this rom.

Go Start-->Settings--Today-->Choose your theme tsk-->Ok

You now got a new theme.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] linwen778:
Oh I c and changed. Thankes! :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] technobe:
I'm a newbie and am looking to flash this ROM as it looks really good and have had positive feedback so far. My first flash! I've been reading and searching the threads to make sure that i'll do it right. Before i do, are there any newbies too who have flashed this ROM for the first time? Did the automatic CID unlocker give any problems? Some feedback from you guys would surely be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Cheers!

Here's the link to N2A's HTC Home weather fix/patch:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=319187

I downloaded this patch file:

HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin_N2A_WeatherPatched.cab
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey boybi... I had a look at the thread and it seems that the work around involves patching the HTCHome.dll to read the creator's own weather server instead of htcaccweather.com. Unfortunately, the patched HTCHome.dll for the new Touch HTCHome with 6 tabs has not been made. The one you downloaded is the old HTCHome with 3 tabs and that explained why. You probably have to wait or made a formal request in his thread for a patched one for the new Touch HTCHome. Cheers..

Hi,

Coreplayer not working. It freezes/ hangs. Anybody have similar issue.

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Are you referring to the TCPMP or the full Coreplayer and what exactly freezes and hangs. Appreciate if you can be more specific like when you are playing youtube, video, MP3 or whatnots...

Theme

Hi,

This rom is really the best I've tested. It has been very well optimized from v1.0 to 2.10, especially memory leaks issue.

Although I think that Activesync does have lots of memory leaks, probably related to my consequent agenda appointments (6 monthes forward). But where with the original rom I have near to 0 ram free, here with 2.10 it's about 10.00Mo, quite nice.

I liked the flower theme of v1.0 not present in v2.10, can you make it available?

Tnx again for your really excellent rom.

Mike
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
HI,

Its the full version of core player.

Its starts slowly and begins palying htc demo.

Then if asked to scan sd card it freezes. But if it scans individual folders, it performs fine. Can there be any file in the sd card that makes it freeze.

Will try Tcmp to see if it works.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Glad you like it! :) Now I shall come to the strange one... Did I have a "flower" theme in v1.0? I really can't remember it. Maybe is the "green grass" vistaB1 theme. If it is, you can find it in the "Removed ringtones and themes" attached file on 2nd page of this thread. Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] madlive:
Hey guys, might be a dumb question, but I couldn't find a quick way to change my today screen into the classic htc one or at least a screen with the not so very colourfull icons.

Thanks for this very nice rom update, it speeded up my touch. I came from the default (well the standard touch firmware). This is a big difference! Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi faisals... my advice is to use TCPMP (The Coreplayer Pocket Media Player) instead which is designed for PocketPC per se. It runs extremely smooth and I can watch Youtube and Goggles videos direct from Internet without any problems whatsoever.

Quick report

Another 24 hrs. have elapsed since my last update (96 hrs. up without reboot) and the free memory still hovers around 21MB. I'm very satisfied with the memory management (negligible leaks!)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Guys, please read the forum before posting. I had just posted a reply few posts earlier (at Post #730) on how to change the Today themes.... :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey maassk... Excellent! Just proved that the main culprit of all this memory leaks is (Tada..) BatteryStatus. So dudes, if you don't use skype and do not overclock, leave Batterystatus alone. I have no doubt that BatteryStatus is a great application (I had rely on it for a long time) but for we the Touch users where RAM memory are so precious and scare..... Well the final decision is yours.. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
Skype

I'm using Skype without the need to overclock using BatteryStatus. I have no issues with Skype either.

I was also relying on BatteryStatus for a while (personally - no need and all the recent versions with the eye candy additions, made me lose my interest in the application).

But, its still a personal choice, as SwiftBlade said!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] voddie:
Are you referring to Radio 03.07.90 ? because i could not find 03.97.90 anywhere in this forum.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Yes, voddie... it's Radio 03.07.90 that came with the newly released 2.20.707.1B WWE ROM. Sorry for the typo error..:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] boybi:
Thanks Swiftblade for looking into the N2A weather patch thread! I've already posted an inquiry about the issue on that thread. Hope N2A can do something about it.

Anyway, in the HTC home plugin, there are 3 indicators for email, sms, & missed calls. Is there a way to change the email to tasks or appointments instead?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] boybi:
Btw, Swiftblade, in the profiles tab of the HTC Home plugin, there are four options: Normal, Silent, Vibrate and Automatic.

What does Automatic mean?

When I set it to Normal, the unit doesn't vibrate even if I set it to Vibrate and ring in the phone settings. I need my phone to vibrate and ring so I would know if someone is calling even in a noisy surroundings. Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] voddie:
No. You dont have to be sorry. instead, i should be grateful for the ROM that you cooked. You should receive a fine culinary award. :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Firewired:
Swiftblade, are you going to have a go at integrating the iTunes app into your ROM, although I know it will be one mean task linking icons and apps etc., but it would be awesome if it was integrated in?

I have it installed on my Touch and is so cool but just lacks the integration with the HTC Home screen.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
iTunes app???

Which one is this?
