If you done the USPL, your SuperCID will stay until you flash another ROM with SPL such as those original HTC ROMs. So rightly you can just run the ROMupdateutility and flash another ROM but thers's no harm to do USPL again also.

If you flash the Blue Touch ROM, just run the integrated ROM update utility by clicking on START.bat in the folder will do the job.

Hey maassk213 & nmesisca,

Nice to have you back, maassk213. Happy New Year to You!

I have actually tried to build a ROM with .NETCF 3.5 but unfortunately I wouldn't get some apps to work. I will give it another go this weekends and hopefully I can cook a ROM with .NETCF 3.5 and LGMenu... Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nmesisca:
New version

Great Swift!

If you need help testing some of the apps with .NETCF 3.5 let me know I'm a developer, quite proficient with .NET and .NETCF (2 and 3), and should have enough time to dedicate to it at the moment..

Also, Im Italian, in case you will ever think of porting your work to that language..

I will be waiting impatiently :D

[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you too Swiftblade!

I can also help test applications with .NET CF 3.5. LGMenu is already an integral part of my Touch :)

HTC Album in portrait mode??

Hey thanx for your quick reply... the problem is the country was not mentioned on the network selection cause it was there in my original rom but now wht i did was I selected any random country operator and called my iSP and got the settings and inputted it manually but the annoying part is the network wizard keeps poppin up when I soft reset my phone any ideas how to disable tht....

Also on another note is when i lauch camera album from the cube it launches it in portrait mode any ideas how to launch it in landscape mode... and when i launch it from the programs folder it launches it in landscape mode...

I have read tht u hve to use Total Commander I did download it but i did'nt understand on how to set the parameters cud someone please help me out here...

So far this rom rocks man...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi whitefalcon... to change the HTC Album to landscape mode, there is two methods:

Method 1:

Install Touch Settings apps and use it to change the Cube Photo Launcher's "param" to:

param = -mode:camera -type:image

Method 2:

Use RegEdit app to change the following registry value:

[HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini\Appl_2]

change --> "param" to "-mode:camera -type:image"

Now wait for a few minutes and do a soft reset and it's done. Cheers

cid unlock with new touch blue rom 3.21

Sorry for my bad english..i'm italian.. I've tried this cid unlock several times, and now I am getting a bit weary..the process seems to always come to a alt when on my htc touch screen displays a linux penguin and the last line of text reads "Loading SPL to ram...." nothing happens after this point?.. any suggestions will be appreciated.. i have ROM 2.20.408.1B ITA

thanks a lot!!!!!!!:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
If you are not using the 1GB mircoSD Card, remove your SD card and repeat the ROM upgrading again. Good Luck!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AndreaMagnat:
I'm using a 4gb sdhc microsd!!! thanks a lot for the suggestion.. but.. in the rom readme is written that i don't have to remove my micro sdhc card..what can i do?!

:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
If you using the 4GB microSDHC card, remove it when doing the ROM updating. Just ignore the ROM readme, it's meant for those who have the 1GB or 2GB normal mircoSD card. Good Luck!

Questions

Hi

Sorry for my English but i'm french, then....

For the moment i use the V3d from Seyia, forum, but i have a big issue: after a long period of shutdown, the Touch is frozen on the second splashscreen, i must go to a had reset and then i lose all my data => very disturbing!!!!

The administrator told me that it is due, on some touch, to the Home 6 buttons...

I wonder if you have such issue known with your ROM?

Is your ROM 3.21 compatible with my touch?

What is the difference beteen Blue/....?

I have already Uncidlocked my touch, then can i just use the "ROMUpdateUtility" and not the START script, right?

Regards

PS: do you know if it is possible to remove Home 6 buttons on new ROMs and to come back to Home 3 buttons? And how to do it?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AndreaMagnat:
:( it doesn't work..it's the same.. what can i do?! are there other methods to cid unlock?! thanks!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
No, I don't have issue with using the 6 tabs Home plug-in. Many of us are using it without any problems.

As for ROM compatibility, do you have a ELF or ELFin? Can you give me more information of your device and original ROM such as RAM size, ROM version, etc.

As for using my ROM updater, I will advise you to go through the entire process by using START.bat. No harm in doing the CID unlocking again even you have done so.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi Andrea... give it a few more tries. Reset your computer and your device and repeat the updating process again. Some times it takes a few try to have a successful flash. Be more patient and Good Luck!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fana75:
hi

Sorry:o

I put the information in my signature but it didn't appear.

If ELF is a TOUCH (P3450) with 128Mo/64Mo i have this one!

See my settings below:

For the moment i use HTC Home Customier v1.0 b5.CAB to remove 2 of my 5 buttons form the day menu of the touch.

I turn off the touch this night and this morning it boots: no hard reset needed. I hope it will do this every times.

I have an issue with DBH_DBH_Slide2Unlock_Pro_V1.02.1117.cab:

When i want to lock the Touch it go to the DBH_Slide2Unlock_Pro_V1.02.1117 screen with the slide bar.

If i press 2 times the OK button button the Touch enter sleep mode (screen off)

If i press the power buton the touch goes direclty to the Day Menu of the touch without passing throught the DBH_Slide2Unlock_Pro_V1.02.1117 screen with the slide bar (no unlock action from me) while with the normal unlock feature of the pda it is ok.

Same behaviuor if i press power button instead of 2 clicking on Ok buton.

Any ideas?

Is your ROM fast? Sorry for this direct question! Is there a way to have a .cab file for French langage?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AndreaMagnat:
Thanks swiftblade!!! i've tried sometimes but my htc touch screen during the cid unlock displays a linux penguin and the last line of text reads "Loading SPL to ram...." every time nothing happens after this point!!!!:(

If you are using 4GB mircoSDHC card, you may want to try removing it and then try the ROM updating again. 4GB and above SD card seems to have a power issue. Cheers..

Lost HTC Action Screen in Today menu

Pardon me for being out of topic, but I've lost my HTC Action Screen shortcut in Today menu, was replaced by Home (Point UI) but I manage to uninstall it and edit the registry (delete fields in HKCU/.../Today/112 keys) it revert back to calender.

Although the Action Screen menu is still available in Program list, I want my HTC Action Screen in Today menu back, please tell me how?

And btw, how to exit from HTC Action Screen menu?

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AndreaMagnat:
I've just remove my microSD card..:(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
Use Advanced configuration tool and in there go to "appearance". There you can choose what the left softkey does. On my touch surface rom it is assigned to "New" which opens the action screen.

To exit from the action screen: just press the red hardware button.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] phoenix_ikki:
Wow fast response. Thank you so much. It works !! v:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] keithhiap:
Hi Swiftblade,

Just my opinion, no hard feeling about ur creation.

I believed updating the your current ROM is easy especially adding/removing cab, and updating 'initiateflash.txt'. Pardon me if i am wrong.

I would like to request a clean ROM with bigger storage with just HTC dual applications?

Is ok if u are tied up with HTC advanced ROM.

Because personally i believed some of HTC lovers also prefer a clean ROM.

I do understand, you are building a ROM to suit ur usage.

Because the Cooking guide is pretty confusing and not updated clearly, i can only extract the ROM, remove/add the cabs which was extracted out from different ROM creation, but have no idea how to continue from here.

Please pardon me if i have hurt anyone.

Yours Sincerely,

Keith

Just an updatre about my problem and other issue in the above post
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jacklyc:
im trying to flash my rom now.

this is my 1st time.scarry.

under instruction to flash tis rom.

1. Copy the Cert_SPCS.CAB and EnableRapi.CAB from the zip folder to your device's Storage Card.

i notice tht it require CAB installer to install it.

can anyone post a link for me to download the CAB installer?

thx a lot
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Jura_ZG:
Just copy these files to your storage card and double click them. Follpw the instructions and everything should be ok.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jacklyc:

because i unziped it,then copy to my storage and try to install,thts y i cldnt in stall it.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] ajcable:
Dumping?

Hi there,

I just unlocked my CID and I'm all ready to do the new BlueTouch Rom. I was just wondering will this ROM attempt to unlock the CID again automatically and do I have to "DUMP" before I flash?:confused:

Thanks a lot,

AJ
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
Swiftblade told me that it wouldn't hurt unlocking the CID again (which the script provided with this rom will do) but you could also just run the update program that updates only the rom. It's in one of the 2 folders when you download.

Dumping before you flash is nice for having a backup or you could try to find a thread where someone already dumped the rom you have.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi Andrea... Don't fret.... Restart your computer and your device. Re-connect your USB and wait till it has completed the synchronisation and then you try again. Sometimes it need a few attempts to get it right...

p.s. Did you install the Cert_SPCS.CAB and Enable-Rapi.CAB to your device before you do your flashing?

Good Luck!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi fana.. I can't answer the question on Slide2Unlock. Perhaps you may want to post on the developer thread for an answer.

As to whether my ROM is fast or not, I can only said that many who used it had said it is fast. As for french language, it is not so simple as a installation CAB. It needs translation of the entire ROM and apps, and this is beyond me. If you want to be able to read and write but in an English ROM, that is possible by installing multi-language keyboard SIP like Touch Keyboard, PCMKeyboard, TouchPal SIP V2.0.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hi junh... the question is what have you installed into your device after the ROM upgrade? What you experiencing is not normal and have nothing to do with the rom.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jacklyc:
great~!i ve successfully flash to this rom.thx swiftblade~!

i got some question,when i use touchflo to open picture it only shows the picture in my device,is there any way i configure it to search picture in my storage(or there is no such function and got to store those picture in my device memory?)

i ve seen a post in this thread that said htc album cld slower the speed of touch.which mean not encouragable to use htc album?besides,is it the same with the picture function under touchflo.

what is touchpal?and where can i find it?is it true tht remove it wil speed up ur touch?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
There are several ways to view the picture in other locations in your storage beside the default directory:

1. Install the HTC Album with Directory Options. This allows you to open up any location to view your pictures but will take up more memory space.

2. Install Touch Settings apps and change the default directory location you desired.

3. Remain status quo and put your pictures in the default directory.

HTC Album tends not to release the memory after its use and that eats into your precious Program Memory. This slows down your device if the memory gets real low. Work around is to do a soft reset and you will be back to normal.

Touchpal SIP is an interesting touch keyboard SIP that allows you to use your fingers to type your emails and SMSes. It is now in Version 2.02 which support multi-languages and the best part is it's free for the Standard one. The Professional version is now being offered cheaply at US$10.90 for 2 licences (yourself and friend). Offers ends at 1 Feb 2008. The website is HERE.

p.s. Don't be mistaken, I am not Touchpal SIP's salesman... :)

Adding to LG Menu

How all

Hats off to this rom it looks great, excellent work swiftblade.

One question how do you add to the LG Menus?

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nmesisca:
Swift,

am I right in assuming once I flash this 4.0 rom I can choose if I want to enable the LGMenu or the HTC Home plugin?

Its just I liked the HTC one..

What was the reason for inserting LGMenu in the rom? How is it different from Home (apart from estetically I mean..)?

Thanks for your work again!

N
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
You have to use hex editing to do it. I am not good at it but some guy did the dirty work for me... haha :D

LG Menu is a today plug-in. If you don't like it, just unselect it in Today's Items.

I have added it because I fine the menu is very "touch-friendly", i.e. you can use your thumbs to navigate through the menu and there is no need for the use the stylus...;) It complement with the Home plug-in somewhat. I suggest you give it a try and I believe you will love it.. Cheers

Error 26

Hi,

I'ved flashed my phone several time. The rom I have no is the v3.21.

But when I try to flash my phone with version v4, I have problems.

Version 3.21 I could only flash when I remove the sim and memorycard (6GB).

Do I realy need to leave the memorycard inside?

Thanks!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] andrewloh:
me too. My 4GB card also have problem. I flash it by removing the card.

When it finished and rebooting, I insert the card back immediately with super quick motion :p :p it works.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CarlosT:
Great ROM as usual... One question though: Why don't I have the mentioned Alarm Clock?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
The alarm clock is in the LGMenu ...:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
NO.. If you have SD card with memory 4GB or higher, remove the SD card while flashing the new ROM. After successful flashing, replace the SD card and do a hard reset or do like andrewloh - super quick replace the SD card.. Cheers.

Registry Editing For Extra Space

I was just wondering if it's possible to remove Windows Office and Adobe and if doing so will add a few more MB's of storage? I really dont need or want these programs on my phone. I hardly even use them on my PC. If it's possible how would I go about getting rid of them from the registry? Also, I do not like HTC Album for some reason and I'd like to dump that one somehow as well.

Much obliged,

AJ
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ajcable:
Oops

:o Sorry, Double post
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I like it too although my Touch is Pure White. Nice combination. BTW Andrew did you see a better performance with .NETCF 3.5. It seems faster with apps that runs it like Advanced Config and Touch Settings.

One more thing, do me a favour and give me the storage and program memory status of the Touch after flashing the ROM. Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
With the last comment it is Triple posts... ;)

Anyway, you can't remove them if it's already in the ROM. You can only do so when you cook a ROM without it.
