Hi guys

The development of the surface rom is on hold due to personal reasons, i think everyone knows about it.

I've got none spare time right now, so the new touch that i was talking about is on hold, the money you guys have donated is in good hands and will be spend well if i got out of the personal stuff.

Gr. bram

Ps. dont flame me because i dind't release my rom yet nor i've bought a new phone, or accusing me of getting money without serving you.

I've learned and served so much on this forum, it has became i life time hobby ****ing up phones and ****. I'm not ganna abandon you guys, i'm just off due to personal reasons. My heart goes to u guys!

How can I customize cube in this firmware? Editing of the registr do nothing.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] andygeerlings:
A question.

I have a Dutch T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus, which is the same as the Touch Enhanced/XL (the 256/128mb version).

I already SIM-unlocked it with a guide elswhere on XDA-dev.

My SPL/IPL version is the following:

IPL: 2.81.0002

SPL: 2.81.0000

First: Is it possible to use the WWE 'Surface' ROM with the Touch Enhanced/XL (I prefer English anyway)?

I assume it's also needed to do an SPL unlock? How to do this with the Enhanced/XL? Afaik the USPL update mentioned in the FP only works on the 'regular' 64/128mb Touch, or am I wrong here?

Second: Is it possible to dump my original ROM etc. before updating to the surface ROM, assuming this is possible (and advisable) in the first place? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] DaveD1978:

Hi!

This might sound like a stupid question, but how do you upgrade / replace the CE OS version. I'm building my own ROM and can't find the answer to this question anywhere in the forum.

If Bram or anybody else can answer this I'll be very happy.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if I post in the wrong thread.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
The 4side cube from musicman works just added in.

But the simple way to edit it has yet to be found. I just replace the icons with my own and edit the name and paths in the registry. But to do that for 27 icons (excluding the fast contact selector) isn't funny after a couple of times :P

(maybe once it's finished i could make a own folder with icons, and a registry backup for the paths, and past those in every time i installed a new rom)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] gjagils:
Hi,

I read:

So in this rom the hardware buttons work but the newest keyboard doen't work? Because if that is the only thing missing i'm also want to start updating :-)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
That's correct the only thing missing is the new htc keyboard. But because it's left out the hardware buttons work now :D.

I even saw Bram added a few extra programs to it :D

i read someone had a fix for the excel problem, back with the old 2.52 ROM.

Anybody know what it was or can post a small how-to?

[edit]

Quick question for all you fast rom upgraders.

How do you guys backup and install your settings and visual styles and programs with settings?

Takes me way to lang for my tast every time i flash a rom...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
To answer your question about the styles. I have a folder on my memorycard that holds some of the icons etc when i flashed i simply copy them into the newly made folder and do a soft reset ( i did this with the home icons in the 2,52 days). The same thing i do for some programs such as no data, pocketalarm, games etc it takes some space in my memory card but saves me time finding the programs again and again
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Rudje:

it works but you must know it :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] havocnl:
The rom has a version of battery status installed by default. i would like to upgrade it to a newer version for some new features. How can i do this. When i install it i think the new version will be installed into program files ("programmabestanden"). Can i safely remove the files in the \windows\batterstatus folder or just copy the new files over it?

what is the best approach?

I have a request. Will it possible to make "light" version of this ROM? I mean version without any extra apps (Battery status, Pocket RAR, PHM Regedit, Screen Capture, Total CMD, etc.).

Bram,

Now that you are online i've got the 6-side cube

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12798

working on my regular touch.

Well now just the blank cube and added a few shortcuts myself.

But maybe it would be something you could add in the next rom ;) just to be the first with the multiple cube baked into it.

(btw you need the files4gsm form musicman)

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Is this six sided cube handy to use, because you have to flick 6 times to get to the other side of the cube. 4 sides will be perfect i think, more apps but less flicking!

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Maybe you're right, but i intend to use 1 side for the "settings" programs (reg editor, Schap's, TotalCMD, Screenshot, well the things you have in the system folder)

So only three adjustable sides left :P The flicking doens't concern me, but it think for bigger half of your users you are right about the 4 sides.

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
I did try the four sides cube (iCube). It used way to much program memory (about 5 extra MB). I didn't try to find out why because I really dislike the iPhone look and went back to the standard asap. Re-Mi: how is the memory usage of the 6-sided cube?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
I wasn't talking about the iphone look because i dislike that to :D used the icube before. but now i got an "orginal looking" cube with 6 sides :) and it doesn't need as much mem as the icube.

The only thing i used from the icube thread is the files4gsm.zip file to replace te original files in the windows directory.

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
Just tried the 6 sided cube. It work, but it does eat A LOT of program memory. Before I had 23,7 mb free after a reboot, now I only have 18 mb free. It does take 5,7 mb! Going to try the cube configuration tool 3.0 now to see if it's easy to add / remove programs to the cube.

Great Rom - One Tiny Thing

http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html

I used the instructions here to set Opera Mini to work better, and stop asking me to allow net use. It worked fine before, with some other roms but with this rom, the solution doesnt work.

It seems to be ignoring the fact ive set the file \windows\appdb\selector.utf to have tckmax - ive checked and its definately right by the instructions but i still get 2 or 3 warnings..

Is this because the Esmertec Jeodek module is pre installed and im looking at the wrong file possibly ?

Any thoughts would be very gratefully recieved :-)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
You know this made me thinking.

I think it's a relative good idea to make a basic rom. But i have a question does it make any difference if you install all the apps later on or if they are pre-baked? (memory based)

The reason i like the idea of a basic rom is the fact that some of the programs have a regular update (schap's is updated for example) and maybe the biggest reason is that some of the programs you can get in more languages than english. (totalcmd, i think schap's is also multi lingual, and probly more programs).

So if it doesn't make any difference i think it's a good idea. And maybe you could make an addon packed with the optional programs.

Or better yet. (but i don't think that it's possible)

Give people the option to install aditional program's the moment they install surface in the installing proces.

The idea;

Because a picture says more than a thousand words :D

Please commit you idea's about this.

Fwe things which I noticed with this ROM. When I restart I still see T-mobile screen and then se the HTC touch opening screen. Also when I restart (soft reset) and I have have to type in my PIN the phone stops...I see the wait symbol from windows mobile and after 2 seconds it freezes..The fix is to soft reset and when it asks for my PIN to press cancel. Wait till I see home page and then manuallly activate comm manager and turn on antenna by entering the PIN. Any solutions for this problem??

Confirm it has anything to do with radio ROM?(Radio rom 02.93.90)

from NLD to WWE?

hi,

great rom! first thing I did when I got my touch: get your rom on it. I'm running 1.31 SP1 NLD now. But if got it right, your WWE rom supports the htc dual keyboard?

If I wanted to go from NLD to WWE, I would just have to download the rom and use the Rom Update Utility that comes with it? I wouldn't have to mind updating the USPL thingie and the radio rom?

Thanks for your help and ofcourse your great rom! :)

2 problems I'm having with 1.31 SP1 WWE

- Sometimes when programs are running in the background. They don't show up in the running programs when I click the icon on top right on the home screen, neither in its option screen. But they do show up when I go to Setting -> System -> Memory -> Running Programs. It most commonly happens with SMS/MMS and the Comm Manager.

- When I go to the actions screen I click "New Email", it sends me to the message application where I can choose between sms/mms and my email account. When I click "New MMS" in the actions screen, it takes me to a new email window.

Anyone else having these problems?
