I don't use exchange server so I can't really help you with that, which also explains why I'd Data Disconnect button in Comm manager over Direct push button. Does exchange need Enterprise installed? Enterprise has been removed from this version of the Rom, so if it requires enterprise, I suggest you look for the cab and install that first.

Audio manager sorts songs by title. I could certainly try to look for the version where it sorts songs by track number. However, unless the sorting method can be changed, it's just a matter of preference. One man's meat is another man's poison.

EDIT:nvm what I said, most people seem to want it sorted by track # lol, it will be updated in next release. I have a version where tracks are sorted by track number but it doesnt work if I just installs it as a cab, it prolly needs to be cooked in.

HTC album will be updated to the version with directory option in next release. I'm also contemplating replacing file explorer with Gsfinder/total commander

***Some issues***

1) keyboard XT9 is very sluggish, can't be disabled in ordinary keyboard.

2) hardware keyboard "dot" + space doesn't change the symbols

3) comm manager press and hold doesn't change to vibration mode

4) Certain colors of the theme blends in with the text, making it difficult to see.

5) HTC Action Screen only works in portrait mode.

6) HTC Audio manager repeat button doesn't work
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] T4nkDr0id:
Thank you. I figured out the exchange server thing. i just re-flashed the rom and manually configured my connection settings. all is well now.:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
cool, but it would be great if you could tell us the solution so that perhaps I could put it up in the first page as FAQ next time in case some one runs into the same problem.

Also, those who has media.net issue, have you guys gotten it working?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bchau:
Thanks kin0kin. So far it has been a very speedy ROM (6MB) for me. Glad if you would replace file explorer with GSFinder (my first choice) or Total Commander (my second choice).

BTW, would you be releasing a Lite ROM? I don't really need any of the green items, except for the following:

Internet Sharing,

HTC Home,

HTC Camera Albumn.

A Lite ROM may offer more free storage space and free program space.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
Yes, there will be a lite rom, but at the mean time, I'd really like to try to solve all the issues and bugs first. Most issues now are related to the keyboard, which I think is quite important.

I could simply just remove all the apps (done), clean up the initflashfiles.dat (done) and post up the lite rom, but I also want to clean up the registry (20% done) and this is what really discourages me from quickly completing the lite Rom as it is a tedious process. (I don't cook like most cooks as in keeping the registries in oem folders)

Worry not, Internet sharing will

not

be removed due to the inherent issues of reinstalling it. I'd be removing the System Tools, and Accessories folder. I might move IS to settings->connections tab just to make it look neater ;) I really hate icons cluttering the program files directory.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leak73:
The xt9 issue was resolved in a past post, and it works. I have tried it and it works fine.

I miss Bubble Breaker!

So, what happened to Bubble Breaker in this ROM? The only game available is Solitaire. :(

Can it be added without any OS issues, or is there a working cab from which I can install it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
Yes I've changed the registry. But now, the two touch keyboard no longer loads, or is this just me? :confused:

Huh? bubble breaker is in the rom.....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nostabo:
You're right it's there in the Windows folder...the install didn't create a shortcut in the Programs-Games folder. :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
it did on mine..every time. You might want to reflash the rom as something may have happened during the flashing process
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BoldFace:
I am experiencing the same problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] A|G:
...

cool, thanx K bro!

now, why doesnt my att startup animation has no sound??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
I have removed the registries ;) if you re-enable startup sound, you'd start suffering from low phone volume.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] A|G:
...

cool!, now how to get wm5storage to work or how to format tf card??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Drakknar:
I asked before for the HTC Symbol pad because I suspected that without it, the device was unable to change the symbols using "dot" + hardware key.

Now that I installed the HTC Symbol pad cab you provided me, the problem is solved and I can use "dot" + hardware key successfully :)

(Btw I have disabled XT9 and HTC Various keyboards now)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
Some comments:

1) I have a WWE TyTN and dont have XT9 when I use my hardware keyboard. I have full, normal keyboard access and can type uninterrupted.

2) If you have a TyTN you need to change the keyboard mapping from the default 8125 mapping. This can be done using Schaps Advanced Config or by setting a registry entry (do a search for keyboard mapping, tytn). I suspect this is what solved the XT9 issue as well as I mention above

3) For that you need TrayIconMannerMode in windows\startup, it is currently in startup.disabled
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
i didn't know about the low volume issue until I read about you fixing it by disabling the startup sound - it is amazing how much louder the phone is now, I can finally hear properly even while driving.

I would gladly do without the startup sound.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
It's easy to get wm5torage to work, check back maybe 1-3 pages. Just have to let the pc detect the card, and do a reboot on both the phone and the pc after that.

dot + hardkeys were working without the symbol pad, you just had to config the keyboard qwerty registry to the right layout if you are not using 8525. All symbols are working except for the dot + space (âãàáǖǔ) I don't use it, but some people do so I really want to fix that. I had sympad reinstalled and it didn't make a difference. Might be something to do with the keyboard driver.

hmm when I mean ordinary keyboard, I actually mean the original tiny keyboard, not the hardware keyboard. XT9 is always disabled when using the hardware keyboard. However, if you try to create a new sms, then use the oem virtual keyboard, you'd realise that XT9 cannot be disabled. :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Drakknar:
Don't know why, but since I

- Disabled the Touch Keyboard and Keypad input methods with SKTools;

- Changed the registry entries for XT9 like explained here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1745051&postcount=247);

- Imported my registry entry for the italian keyboard layout ([HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\QWERTY]"Layout"=dword:00020410)

- Installed the HTC Symbol pad

the dot+space works fine for me :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
freeze freeze

Well, I used this ROM for about one hour, and had THREE freezes!

Installed the ROM clean on my TyTn, no extra's. Am I the only one?

It looks so nice, with all the applications I need.

But when it isn't stabile... (or is this normal with 1933 ROMs?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] BoldFace:
I haven't had any problems with the ROMs stability, in fact, its one of if not the most stable ROM I've used.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
v1.21 had never frozen for me even once, and my phone is very messed up as I'm always testing stuff lol

***Hardware Keyboard dot + space symbol fix***

my mistake, you are absolutely right! I looked at the sympad related files that I removed and I realized that I'd removed not only the symbolpad files but also the files required by the hardware keyboard symbol to work: kbsymdll.dll + sym.0409.txt I tossed those files back into windows and the hardware keyboard dot + space is working perfectly now, and better yet, the symbol pad is still removed ;) Thank you very much, that's one down and ugh...few more to go :D

***Touch keyboard and XT9 issue***

After much research, I've come to the conclusion that if you decide to use this keyboard with XT9, you will have to give up auto complete in sms/outlook contact field. On the other hand, if you choose to have auto complete, you will have to give up XT9. The touch keyboard will end up becoming a larger qwerty keyboard. Imho, it is not worth 1.5mb of space if you chose the latter. Therefore, I've decided to remove it in the next Rom. However, I've tested pcm keyboard thoroughly and it works pretty well although the keys are not as big. Auto complete also works in pcm keyboard. Pcm keyboard will be cooked into next rom with touch skin (not the default touch skin, that skin just doesn't match nicely)

***CommMgr press and hold vib button fix***

Toss the trayicon_mannermode file into windows startup folder. You don't need to move the trayicon_mannermode.lnk from startup.disabled back to startup...just the attached exe file will suffice. Vibration tray icon will not appear but the button will work.

***Theme notification/message title visibility fix***

Changed the notification/message title to dark gray, for future reference, don't use this theme as it will be cooked into releases after 1.21:

beta vs. final release

OK!!! K!....

I had installed the 1.21 beta rom, i didn't know that until i checked the thread again.

I noticed that the 6mb pp is recommended so would it be conclusive that the setting parameters on the beta are close to the final release of the 6mb pp?

I liked the responsiveness of the beta ROM, and i don't want to lose that?

Though i was told that a lower pp means more stable ROM.... what say you!! i know you've written RECOMMENDED next to 6mp but I'm looking for both responsiveness and stability... I pretty much got that from the beta version.

THanks in advance for making such a great ROM.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kin0kin:
There hasn't been any performance parameter changes since 1.2beta (there wasn't a 1.21 beta lol), only bug fixes and whatever that's in the change log. 6mbpp had always been my first choice, I only posted 4mbpp Roms for the earlier versions cause the dev rom was in 4mbpp...I didn't bother to change the pp before I uploaded the rom.

I've never heard of stability penalty with 6mbpp rom, the only real penalty is storage space and ram. But the overall performance is significantly increased.

The one and only thing that is known to affect stability is superstorage roms (merged extended rom).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pietrucci:
Well, in that case: I try again! (maybe bad copy).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] aaronsmckee:
Sweet, pcm is superior to the touch keyboard anyway, since your going with pcm for keyboard any chance you could cook in pcm contacts (as opposed to random access) as well? If not no biggie (random access is perfectly serviceable. One other request if you go with pcm could you cook them as cab installs so that when they expire we can easily remove them and then install the newer version. Last request :D , would you consider the new iphone pcm keyboard skin, the touch skin is very good but I think the iphone skin actually has slightly larger keys (which is nice for those of us with big fingers) and it kinda looks "touchy." Thanks again for your great roms.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DvTonder:
PCM Contacts, even though a great tool is not final yet and I would suggest not to cook it in.

From a keyboard perspective - maybe just leave it to the standard one and let us have the option to install our own preference - Touch Keyboard for me, PCM for others.

On a side note: Have not had any stability issues at all.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] I[E:
Awesome!

also very cool, both are great choices
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wodkasreineseele:
I'm still using Schaps Rom, but i will change to your rom. It looks very good and you receive good experience.

My question is: Is there coming a final version?

I use my HTC for work and cannot change every two days the rom, because its to much time for me.

The app S2U2 is a very good one, maybe you add it to your rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] rexmundi:
task manager

if you be so kind to add in next relase HTC Task Manager to improve memory management

greetings

good rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MaRaHoX:
Additional features as a cab

I think better is provide this as a cab - and Task Manager is normaly available!

When it is cooked into ROM, it cannot be easily removed, when someone do not like this feature!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] leak73:
I haven't checked the whole forum but I know i cannot install the htc task manager. I like that one better than wktask. My personal preference. As for the pcm contacts/keyboard. The 1.16 version of contacts is still a bit buggy, the 1.15 works great, and the keyboard is always on my handheld so if that was cooked in or not it doesn't really matter. Random access is usually a no go for me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bchau:
I have just tried out the Total Commander 2.5 beta 3 and it is fast, compared to GSFinder. So it is a good candidate to be used instead of the File Explorer.

Link at: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=16509

Still anyone know how to view and stored content in the Ext ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] blackout128:
First I have to say thumbs up to K's Rom v1.21. Your quick responses to people's questions made me feel pretty confident that you are pretty serious about producing a quality Rom. It by far has been the best rom for me. Second, I like to thank the members of this thread. With everybody's help and input, I've been able to correct some of the minor bugs with no problems.

I do have a question though, Can I delete the contents in the extended rom? I have made a copy of the contents(just in case) on my PC, but when I try to delete it says it is locked.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bjevers:
If one gets cooked in, I'd like it to be Total Commander also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mchapman007:
This ROM is great but i'm haveing a problem with connecting WiFI. Very slow to connect, even sitting next to my router it took about 5 minutes.

No other problems but still testing.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] r4y_m4n:
the wifi seems to be okay for me, maybe it's just your internet

not sure if it's a bug or just me

• But i can't seem to add my music on my microsd onto the music player (windows)

i usually go to "Menu > Library > Storage Card"

and now i can't find it

And i tried "Update Library" it froze on 1%

• Sometimes when i exit a window/page, i see like a blur on the today screen

• How do you exit a program? when i press the X button, apparently it minimizes it and it just takes a lot of ram - the only way i know of how to exit it, is by going to "Settings > Systems > Memory > Running Programs" and stop the programs through there....but is there a much faster way of exiting?

• I put a password on my phone, and i love all the skin on the phone, except for that phone lock - it looks very....old fashioned - i think it should be like all the rest of the skin (like the phone dialing and the calculator)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] danik_iceman:
Hey,

I think that Apps like Total Commander or task manager shouldn't be cooked in a rom. (if should then the rom should have its lite version without these apps) We are all different and use different apps, so someone would prefer gsfinder and the other one would want to have just the file explorer, and so on...

So, the best thing to do here is to use ext rom. It can be very handy to have the rom itself have as less apps as possible and make a zip file with config.txt and all the not mandatory cab files that you want to include in the rom, so that anyone just could copy this thip file and paste its content to their ext rom. That way all these not mandatory cabs will get installed after flashing a rom.

One more good thing about it is that the ext rom can be launched not only with this rom, but with most of these customized roms that are available here(the one that don't use ext rom).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] danik_iceman:
Changelog:

Future Changes

-Convert some apps to cabs and auto install from ExtRom

-Fix xt9 issue with touch keyboard

-Fix Dialer mute icon misplacement

-Fix non-working "dot + space" symbol change

-Fix keyboard numeric lock while in call

-Include SCLPF (if final version is out by then)

-Remove File Explorer and replaces it with GSfinder/Total Commander

-Update Audio Manager to sort tracks by track number

-Update theme color to ease visibility

Just a comment on this.

If you are going to cook your next rom with all of these changes, then some people might not like.

I recommend that you cook the first rom by fixing the issues, and making sure that they've been fixed.

And then, based on that fixed version of rom, cook a new one with additional apps(or with replacing File explorer or including SCLPF). That way two variations of roms will be more demanded and usefull applying almost no extra hard work that you do for us...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bchau:
The files in the WMDRM folder may have been corrupted. I would try delete the files inside the folder, then try update the library again.

That is what the HTC Task Manager is for. Turn the x button into a close button instead of minimise button. Having said that WM6 seldom releases all the memory when an app is closed. That's why over time, there are lesser RAM available until soft reset.:mad:

Here's my current project:

***5 rows touch skin for PocketCM keyboard***

I needed the numbers to be readily accessible...having to press another button just to pop up the num pad is wayyyy inconvenient. Also, it will have integrated symbol pad. Holding down the corresponding letter will show:

For example:

with this implementation, people who need to use those symbols no longer have to toggle the keyboard to symbol mode to use them. PocketCM keyboard is extremely flexible, I agree that it is superior to the touch keyboard. I could port the touch keyboard layout over to PocketCM but I'm really starting to like this more.

Also, holding down the number will show the symbols beneath them...i.e. 1=!, 2=@, 3=#......You will need to have pretty good memory to figure out what symbol lies beneath each number though lol

I needed their contact to check stock status :p I'd went there many times after seeing on their website that the item I want is in stock, only to find out that it's not in stock when I got there.

***Touch PCM Keyboard***

Here's my PCM Touch Keyboard skin + layout (download pcm keyboard here). The keyboard has HTC Symbol pad's symbols fully integrated into it. By holding down certain keys for 250ms, you'd be able to toggle certain symbols. For example, holding down "a" will show all the "a" accents. Holding down "spacebar" will show common browser shortcuts, and etc etc.

*I don't know why the first picture looks brighter than the others...*

Holding down the numbers will also toggle some symbols. These are usually symbols that are listed on your ordinary full size keyboard. For example,

1=~, !

2=@

3=$ (and various $ signs)

5=%

As you can see, I have also included some ghetto smileys into the mode button :p tapping the mode button doesn't change anything as there's only 2 modes in this keyboard (caps lock and lower case - double tap shift to toggle between them). However, holding down the mode button will show some commonly used symbols found at the lower portion of a keyboard.

The keyboard is based on the English layout. If you native language is not English, simply change the first two lines of the layout to the layout you commonly use. Everything else should work regardless of the base layout.

Installation is simple, just toss both files into Program Files\PCM Keyboard, select the layout and skin from pcm keyboard option and you are done.

K, get this bad boy cooked and out (not like you need to sleep or anything :D)! Have you talked to tene about using pcm without it expiring (or looked at installing it via cabs as part of flashing process so we can uninstall when it does expire)? One more thing is there anyway on your skin to make the letters that appear be larger than the standard pcm? I've got big fingers and sometimes it is difficult to see what letter I've hit (zoomboard has a pretty good implementation) not sure how difficult making the "pop up" letters would be with pcm but that would be awesome.

HTC task manager inside rom

but there is always "but" - inside many coocked roms there is HTC task manager installed without any complains, i'm not saying that someone's thoughts can be different than mine but task manager saves me a lot of time to free memory which can be used to other apps during usage of my tytn. You know - closing all of apps you use going into the settings -> memory -> close all apps - people can get very angry about it.

My opinion is HTC Task Manager RULEZ!!!

;-)
