Heya

Hi SwiftBlade...I'm back.

Around 24 hrs. of running the v2.01. Things seem very stable. I decided to leave the IE cache on Memory instead of card (on card, IE starts behaving sluggish).

I had booted at 25MB free. Have not rebooted since the last 18 hrs., regular usage and the free memory hovers around 21-22 MB. Oxios Hibernate does not release any more memory now. I'm not sure if this indicates some leak. Will continue testing and report if anything.

The ROM sure responds faster than any others I have tried, even with multiple applications open. Earlier, with IE open and TCPMP (streaming) simultaneously, brought the device to a grinding halt. Now the device is responsive.

Anything on the cab for the OEM HTC Home 2.10?

Cheers....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bjfong:
could someone pls seed the 2.10 rom on bittorrent or something? sighhh rapidshare keeps downloading halfway =( can't get sendspace to work...someone pls help
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fredfox_uk:
Very impressed with this ROM.

Definitely the fastest, most stable ROM you've done so far. The memory leaks seem to be less of an issue with this release too.

I'm becoming a real expert at re-installing everything now !!

Thanks and keep up the good work :)

New ROM installation guide for rookies?

I've never installed a new ROM, and I am scared of blocking my Touch... I've been reading around many posts and haven't found a "ROM installation for rookies step by step manual"... Are there any?

I bought a free Touch (so I guess it is not "locked" and I do not have to do CID or SIM unlock, do I?

Sorry if my questions are too simple, I read here really very complex topics, but it helps me a lot to learn...

Thanks, friends.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] voddie:
I am having problem downloading it too. Any kind soul care to mirror the rom?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] LittleBigBen:
Hi Swiftblade

flashed you new rom and really like it

two questions...

first: what do you mean with 'Music can now be played directly from HTC Home Music Tab without opening Audio Manager apps after the music library is compiled' i still have to open the audio manager in the tap and it stays open in the background....

second: in the fav people in the cube i'm not able to add a whole person with all the numbers just one number of the person... can i change that? i liked having all the numbers...

thanx!!

Swiftblade

I had flush the new v2.10 rom, everything work find except when I tried to save the changes I made in Advanced Configure, it propmt me a error and uable to save the changes that I had made. The error seem is DirectoryNotFoundException ...

Any idea that I had done wrong, I had based on your instruction to change the IE Cache to Storage Card.

I had also change the location of My Documents and Mail Attachments to Storage Card, but I am unable to do a sync with PC, so I take out the My Documents and Mail Attachment key from registry. And the Sync back to normal.

Now, please help with my the Advanced Configuration problems, PLEASE HELP:( :confused:

Thanks, anyway your ROM is stable and truely fast and I love it a lot.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] daverage:
Another stunning release!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
You'd have to create the folder where you want the cache to be on your storage card, before assigning the path in Advanced Config. Make a folder like 'cacheie' or something and then try assigning the path. Advanced Config probably does not create folders by itself.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
ANy other link to download rom.

Cannot download from rapidshare or sendspace.

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi wongh_hk... maassk213's reply is right to the point. Your problem is the directory your put in the registry is not found in your SD and thus the error from Advanced Configuration Tool. Same thing to your mails and attachment. Those directory you pointed in the registry must be created in the storage card.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi maassk213... Good feedback on the rom. As for the cab for the OEM HTC home, I haven't forgotten. Abit busy with my works right now but I will work it the moment I have some spare time. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fcuk8888:
just wanna say thanks again
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi Ben,

Your first question: you are right to say that the audio manager is playing in the background. It's only look crisp and neat instead of the whole audio manager opening up.

Your 2nd Question: Unfortunately, I don't think it can. I regconise each number as one contact. Still experimenting separating the 2 sets of contact and manage toget favourite people at HTC Home to work but then contacts in cube open to a empty contact selection page... Will shelf this for the moment..:(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fcuk8888:
damn, i torn my headset cable today.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] LittleBigBen:
okay but thanx anyways its a great rom!!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
Hi,

Its a lovely rom. Great work.

My album arts in mp3 tags are not displaying in audio manager.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Very important to
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
Thanks Swiftblad and maassk213, the problem had been fixed.

I had noticed in this rom there is a psShutXP, I just wondering what is the different between the button Display off and Shut Down, I had tried the 2 function but it seems like the same :confused: :rolleyes: :D

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
In psShutXP, there is 3 options Reset, Turn off and Light Off. Turn off is like display switch and put your device on standby mode. Light off only turn off the backlight, the apps is still running in the background. Actually not much fifferent...:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey Noonski,

Tried your suggestion, didn't work out. I actually got the contacts at HTC Home tab to work but then the contacts in Cube open to a contact selection page with no contact entry inside to select. How do I change it to point to mscontact?

As for scrolling in Random Access, it's still not working and that's way I don't use it in rom.

P.S. Thanks your your earlier hints on the HTC Home....:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi faisals... I don't remember album arts are displayed in audio manager but I may be wrong. Try windows media player, it may display the album arts.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] iceggy:
Hi Swiftblade,

I really appriciate your great job on the latest ROM. I just upgrade to your latest ROM an hour ago. I is just out of this word.

Thanks swiftblade.

Question:

1. Does the ROM comes configure to store the email in storage card?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] therock88:
was it is easy to install..could you tell me what files you used

could you let know what files you used and what you did..like the steps. i have heard ppl getting their phone stuck ,,missing files, corrupt files etc

i have a touch from asia..so its ok to where did you get your phone

i know there like more than one touch..one from asia...sprint and others.

so which rom you update to 2.53..please let me know thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] therock88:
everything fucntions

did you see if everything functions..internet , wifi...etc
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
Thanks, it clear off my question.:p :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
hi iceggy,

No, this configuration has been returned back to its original location as some users find problems with it when swapping mircoSD with that setting. You can set the mail attachments to SD in the email setting

[Touch GSM ROM Development] therock88:

i just updated the rom blue touch 2.20wwe builde 18521..but dont see any changes....same screen etc.i notice a little faster though..

after installation of rom does it change by itself or you have to do some settings.the themes etc.....any suggestions
[Touch GSM ROM Development] veeru27:
Check under start\settings\Device Information and see what ROM version you have!. :D.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] therock88:
so i guess i did not install it then

the funny thing is i followed the instructions to the tee..it restarted and everything was fine..but there was a error though at like 10 %....but i notice the phone when opening applications is way faster ..i wondering if i should just leave it...so any ideas how to install it correctly again...thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mingean:
i tried this viigo tool, and it is not able to connect to server.

doesn't seem to work for me.

i tried info feed before, and it seems to work fine...... and i sort of like the features

possible to provide the info feed cab? :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi mingean... The info feed cab is attached at the 2nd post HERE.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi therock88... try to re-install the rom again.. It should go full 100% and restart itself if not the rom is not updated...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi maassk213... Okay finally got the cab for the OEM HTC Home_2_1_10_0s created. Download from installation cab on first page or here: ELF_OEM_HTCHome_2.1.1005722.CAB. You must disable the HTC Home from Today before you install the new OEM HTC Home.

Be warned that you need though that your nice iphone HTCHome icons will be changed to the original ones. If you want them back, go to Windows directory and delete all the HH_XXXX files and do a soft reset.

Cheers... Swiftblade

WM5storage, it won't start

Swiftblade,

Thanks for the great work.

Just one question, when I want to start WM5storage, it won't start.

"can't switch to Mass Stoge USB drive, error 1f. Maybe some programmsb have open files on storage card"

Even when I do a soft reset, I still have te problem.

Any I idea?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I just tried and it worked for my device.. Strange now... Anyone else having this problem also and can explain what is happening? Frankly I don't use it frequent.

Just a stupid question... did you insert your mircoSd card... haha:D Seriously, did you do anything or change any settings related to the storage card? Maybe can give me more details of the error message and I see what can be done... Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
OEM HTC Home

Thanks Swiftblade. Installed the cab. Was not too worried about the icons, but rather the 'transparent background'. Rebooted. New Home plugin came up (with original icons as you mentioned).

Tried the Music tab. It invokes the Audio Manager and sends it to the background by itself. A little nicer to operate the function and I don't have to manually minimize the Audio Manager. Memory usage is the same (obviously). However, after closing Audio Manager, the released memory is a little lesser than it should be (~500k lesser or maybe I am just imagining it!) as compared to with the earlier HTC Home.

Bigger problem was that I could not use the HTC Home Customizer to change the background, clock font and icons anymore! :( Maybe some icon paths have changed, but HHC says 'cannot find location' or something along those lines.

Sad - have reverted back to the initial Home plugin. I'd have loved the functionality (although minor)....but the clock font and the transparent background (using lovely wallpaper) is more important to me ;)

Thanks anyways!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi maassk213... HTC Home Customiser don't work? But I am using the OEM HTC Home version and HHC works. Maybe you want to try re-installing HHC after installing the new OEM HTC Home because it work on my device.

Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
Thought of that option already :). Will be back with my results in 15 minutes.

On another note - What does 'startclean' really do? Is it similar to what 'ClearTemp' application would do? If yes, I'd like to take it off the startup apps list. It add a good 10 seconds to my startup.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
No, startclean gives you a clean start menu after a soft reset. You can take it off by removing the startclean.lnk from the Windows|\StartUp directory if you so wishes.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I will not include tcpmp media player as it can be easily installed using installationcabs. The best part of installing thru' cab is that it can be installed on Storage Card instead of the "valuable" device memory in Touch.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
Tried reinstalling HHC. Does not work, says 'An error occurred while copying background' etc. No big deal though. I'll find the workaround. Meanwhile I am back to my initial Home plugin. Will experiment later when I am off work.

Took off 'startclean'. 'Cleartemp' allows me to remove the recently used programs list. I'm using 'QuickMenu' and that has 'Recent' as a seperate sub-item in the list. So I am OK there.

Are there any other tweaks/ bugfixes in v2.10 that should prompt me to upgrade?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
Hi Swiftblade,

After soft reset, program memory is about 27MB: however after opening some applications and then closing them using 'stop all running programs' keeps the memmory at 16MB. Reset again and the memorry is 27MB.

Any suggestions.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey maassk213.. You are really tweaking your Touch to the max...haha:D and I think that is all the bugfixes in v2.10.

Just an idea if you wish to try.. since it is only the music plug-in that make the different, maybe just replacing the "wmpPluginToday.dll" alone will do the trick. I attach the zip file below if you wish to try.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi faisals.. you need to set Task Manager to "End programs by tapping "X". Do the following:

Go Start-->Settings-->System-->Task Manager-->Button tab-->Set "End Progras by tapping 'X'"

Hope this helps... Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
Hi Swiftblade

I was wondering, since you don't want to do vanilla ROMs anymore, is it possible to get the build 18521 aku 0.7.0 somewhere else?

Seems like this build would be a great base for newbie cooks like me ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
Hi ,

Thanks for quick response.I have the same settings for x button to end programs and not to close programs, but still getting low mem. After soft reset I get good 27MB mem and stays there if I do not open any application.

Thanks again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Seems that HTC X Button apps doesn't close a number of programs like Comm Manager, HTC Album, etc. You may want to try out the of Batterystatus's Task Manager if you are using the program. Work better IMHO.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
There is no need for that. Noonski had already clean up and released a vanilla OS 1933 based rom (Courtesy by Xtriny) based on 2.20 WWE for purpose of cooking in his "Cooking Class Start Here" thread. Plough through the thread for it. If my memory serves me right, it should be at Post#191.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
Memory

Faisals - Swiftblade is right. Some applications like the Comm Manager do not really close and keep running. I was using pBar to control that earlier. Now I use the Tasks list in QuickMenu to close such apps. A nice feature in QuickMenu also closes ActiveSync automatically after a connection is terminated.

Swiftblade - I'm going to replace the DLL and see if that works. Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
Maybe I should change my name to 'tweak freak' :D. It helps when you are running Windows 2K3 server in a VirtualBox on Debian with 128MB RAM allocated to it. Tweaking is absolutely a must ;)

Anyways, on the DLL -The DLL version is the same as the current I have. I replaced it anyways. the functionality (of the Audio Manager going into the background) cannot be achieved. Thanks for trying though :). Don't worry, I'll hunt for the solution!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
Oh really.

I got confused with all the build numbers then.

Yours says 18521 aku 0.7.0, the others I've seen 18125 ..

There are OS version 5.2.1933 saying build 18125, some saying OS 1647 build 18125 also ...

this is all quite confusing really :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
Hi,

I tried to close all the applications from x menu drop down list and then checked the running programs list which is empty. Memory still hover around 16MB.

Nothing new is installed.

I just checked the mem status and it shows 14MB free. Running programs list include activesync, comm manager and internet sharing. I just stopped comm manager and now free mem is 14.6 MB. Using stop all did not change any thing. Stange....

After soft reset mem status is 23MB.

ANybody else having same issue or should I reinstall the rom.

Will check tonight again and let you know.

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cybertech:
I really have no luck in trying to download and try out your ROM.

Remember I mention it take 3 - 6 hours to download from dl.free.fr

as shown:

If can complete still ok, but always break after certain times.

And from RapidShare, either it always show need to wait 90+ minutes

or if given a slot, when click download, it always show " Your IP-address

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is already downloading a file. You have to wait until it is

finished" the thing is I don't even see anything downloading.

Give up!!!!!

I installed extra "Slide to unlock", Tonemanager and Batterystatus on the phone memory

And my microSD card is a 6GB from SanDisk

Downloading

Cybertech - Most likely you are on a NAT and are sharing your internet connection (maybe on a shared cable modem or something). In this case you would always get the message like the one you are getting from RapidShare.

Hang on a while. I'm just downloading the v2.10. Will mirror it as soon as I am done and post the link.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
Ahh, good information.

About the memory issue; it's the cube & its related resources that takes up memory.

I'm cooking my own ROM without the cube, and the RAM available difference between the first run (right after the hardreset) and the second one after a softreset is down to about 800K.

Without the cube and after the first softreset, I end up with about 30.5MB of free RAM with a 4MB PP. Given I hardly ever use the cube (contacts only, and I can find good replacements for that) plus the fact the cube always spawns when I do games or such things, I don't have use for it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
maassk... thx for the mirror. Posted on the start-page.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
This is great, another cook has been born. Maybe I can consider early retirement now...;)

And yes, TouchFlo (the Cube) is hogging alot of memory and not many people frequently use it or use it at all. It's more an eye candy. If you disable the Cube and want to use the favourite people tab in Home plug-in, replace the "Quickdial.exe" with the one from 1.17 ROM and it should works.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
I don't use the HTC home plugin either ;)

SPB mobile shell rules! Well, it takes a lot of RAM too, but hey it brings a lot of things too !

I did my ROM to have exactly what I want in it: the kitchen tools are available, people are kind enough to provide for bases that can be properly extracted & recooked. Removing stuff is way easier than adding, so I took the matter in my own hands.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
I don't agree on that. Removing everything clean. Means DSM files need to be rebuild and that again means that Dll files in Module folder need to be cooked as actuall dll's to this with the wrong dll's and drivers stop working. Also you have to be very carefull in the size of the rom.

BTW i found some other new ways to free up memory which i'm testing.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] frankheyward:
could the pre-installed programs like adobe reader LE be removed?

hi, anyone know if there is anyway to override file explorer to delete useless windows files or uninstall programs like msn messenger or adobe reader LE or move office mobile to the storage card. These would presumably save some storage space right? memory resources is SERIOUSLY lacking in the elf :(

[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
Well I'm not going to argue on the "right way to do it", you are most probably right. I didn't care about the DSM at all, I don't know what they are for and how to edit them (yes, I'm still learning).

But in the end the ROM I cooked with the files I removed is still working well. I only touched the HTC oem folder, I don't believe there is anything critical there (the HTC exe & dlls might be dependent on the OS dlls, but not the other way around).

What would be the side effects of removing files without editing the DSM?

That discussion should go to the cooking thread maybe :)

can't Logon

Hi,

after flashing and also having run the Network Wizard I can't connect Data using my XL Com (Indonesia) SIM Card.

I am always asked to input the Password in Order to logon to the Server - although the Password I input is correct!

Tried it also manually, but: same result.

When trying the same with a Telkomsel (Indonesia) SIM Card or with a SingTel (Singapore) SIM - no problems at all to connect.

There is sure nothing wrong with the XL Com SIM (as I tried it in other Phones)...so:whats wrong with the ROM?

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Thanks a lot in advance..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cybertech:
I encounter exactly the same issue as you on the 3 given download sites.

So until now never use this newer rom.
