How much more time for it to be available: Touch Surface ?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Touch surface is currently in the development stage.

It's becoming a very stable rom with a 2.21.710.2B base, wich is very packed with new features.

Also the free memory after first boot is 29.23mb right now, and running very stable.

Currently i'm testing how far i could go with overclocking, now running stable on instant 283 mhz with not a noticable batteryloss.

Hoping to run stable with higher clocks.

Gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Makkiezz:
Verry happy to read about the progress you've made Bram.

I'm using the NLD 1.31 SP1 at the moment and it's much better than the default T-Mo rom.

I only had some problems with windows Live. After signing on, accepting the agreement, username and password, live search bar and live services off, and then turn of sync contacts sync. it throws me back to the sign on page of windows live.

Good luck with further development.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] CarlosT:
Great, simply great... One question though: isn't the overclocking safe threshold (i.e. before the device freezes) dependent on the device's hardware quality?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rikkiepikkie:
Wow Bram free memory after first boot : 29.23mb!!!

That's great. You probably talked to Xtrini right (about his memory manager);)

keep it up and bedankt!:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Straetmans:
Can't wait till your new rom is released:)

But don't you think overclocking the proc. with 50% is bad?! It will get damaged after using it for a while. Or is there a option you can choose what speed the proc is running?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tfxro:

When is the day of change.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
When it's done :P

batery status gives You such option and nothing is gona change, I suppose

Memory leak.

Look nice. :)

But. In this ROM resolve problem with memory leak?

How much RAM after 3-4 days of normal work? :confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] StreetBiker:
:) Great Bram, nice to hear. :)

:confused: is the problem with the syncronisation of the calendar with Microsoft Office soved. Remember, we had to re-enter all appointments. :confused:

Maybe a usefull program for installing: MohairSofa Calendar Plus is a program that runs under the Pocket PC's Today screen. It emulates the standard Pocket PC Calendar plug-in exactly, except that it offers more features. Features include the ability to see multiple days, the ability to look a given number of appointments ahead, and multiple ways of displaying the various calendar fields.: http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zyncmaster:
Thanks Bram...

Glad to hear from u Bram... ;) Waiting to see u release ur latest creation! :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Trekvogel:
Can't wait. I've never flashed my Touch before. I'm waiting for this rom to be released. Can you give us at least some timeframe? I mean, will it be a week, a month or a year for example...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
Don't think so.... the base is still windows mobile from microsoft :p.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Henry_Lee:
Its right, but some guys talk about magic MemoryManager which solve problem with leaking of memory.

I hope, I wait..... I pray for it. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rikkiepikkie:
MemoryManager would give you some extra ram memory, but would most probably not resolve any pre-existing memory leaks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Henry_Lee:
If it true, it very bad. :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Hey Bram,

How is the Rom holding up ? does it run stable? Or did you encounter some problems with it?

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] The Stranger:
Just i question

Re-Mi,

In this HTC standard rom: Usefull: Original 1.11.404.1B_NLD NON-branded (Download)

Is there a original IPL / SPL build in? How can i check my IP / SPL or build in a rom?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Well, i not sure if there is an original IPL / SPL build in? ( I know they are low digits) After i brickeed and reset my touch with the newly found multirom (elf + Elfin) my numbers are higher.

Secondly i don't know how to check this before flashing. but once it's on your touch, you can check it in the bootloader (press and hold cam button and softreset)

Greetz,

Device: Elf/Elfin (flashable to both)

Hey Guys,

I'm a huge huge huge newbie in this area. Was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to explain how an update like this would work? I would be placing it on my HTC-Touch in the states fresh out of the box. Would I need to download any other updates/patches before installing a file such as this?

thank you very much to anyone nice enough to reply.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Whoohoot.

First win 6.1 rom :D

I'm really curious to try this rom out. Right now I'm using the Blue Touch rom v4.0 But now that my exams have finished I have the time try out the upcoming Surface rom :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] eaqle23:
I cannot wait for this ROM..........
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vijayvasa:
Bram, If yours will be the first rom which will have 4-sided cube , and have 30MB ram, I will be the first in the queue and I am sure I will even purchase a license from you :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zyncmaster:
Sweetttttt...... :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Makkiezz:
....a surprisingly surprise!... Can't wait to experience the new ROM.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
Hey Bram,

do you have an estimated release date for your next version? I'm anxiously waiting :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Since it isnt a surprise anymore i might aswell say it:

I'm implementing the most cool stuff from wm 6.1 into my Touch surface rom, threaded sms, internet explorer, etc.

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Great news Bram.. But is still is a suprise.. allright there are some other 6.1 roms but not a nice cooked rom.

(btw i really didn't know, i just guessed it :P some posts ago)

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
I know, but since there are 2 rom out there with 6.1 in it, it was'nt such a surprise no more, haha.

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dennito:
functions like the official release?

Hi Bram!

Will your Rom have the functionalities as are shown in the official microsoft release?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
This demo site is not what 6.1 is all about, this site has been there since wm6.

So the graphics arent right with the original product.

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Henry_Lee:
As I understood, you cook new ROM based already on WM6.1?

May I hope this new ROM will in this age? :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dennito:
thx

thx bram, gr. dennito
[Touch GSM ROM Development] daflip:
and when could we test your rom, brams? :p

I know we are impatient
[Touch GSM ROM Development] havocnl:
Oeh i just can't wait....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] rtakeo:
please//// take some screenshots... for who waiting so much,... we deserve...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
We deserve? Don't know about that :p

But it seems like Bram is keeping his lips shut about a possible release date.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
well i don't blame him, he's currently testing it himself if he point out a date and something goes worng with the rom he will get a flame ond 200 posts about why he didn't release and that he promissed it etc. etc.

We know that bram only will release stable rom's and when there is a bug after release he will fix it asap. But his goal is a stable rom at once.

That doesn't take the feeling away that i also wnt it asap, but i think it's a wise decission not to pick a date for release :D

Greetz
[Touch GSM ROM Development] StreetBiker:
Just a question, is the new Windows Mobile 6.1 also available in the Dutch Rom or only in the WWE?

Keep up the good work Bram. :):)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
I think it will be in Dutch... no wait it has to be in Dutch.

Bram is known for his great dutch roms so i think he won't let us down.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Hi guys,

haha, funny to keep you waiting :p

i don't name a release date because i haven't finished the rom yet as i want.

there are some minor problems that need to be fixedand tested.

So the beta testers can get their copy soon to test and evaluate, there will be a registration for it.

i want to release a clean and stable rom here so it takes al little longer to build. and offcourse i'd had to port all from the wm 6.1 core to the touch so it takes time.

In the future there will be a dutch version, but for now i'm only busy with the wwe rom. when thats finished, i'll start making it dutch!

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
It's NOT :mad:

he he :p
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikkelnl:
I'd be happy to beta-test the WWE version Bram! If there's something I can do, let me know ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tejot:
the same thing, as I even mantioned before :rolleyes:

Greetings and thanks for Your work
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Muthas:
I can't wait till you release the next ROM, but I have a little issue with your current.

You included BatteryStatus which is maybe nice, but now (after like a month of usage) it starts popping up messages with 'BatteryStatus is shareware! Stop using it!'. Now I've never seen that message before, while I've been using it for a long time on differents ROM's so I wonder what's going on..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TheMusicMaster:
I can confirm battery status causes a nasty popup to appear - since today.

But it does not say you can't use the program, it just states it's shareware and you're free to use it.

However, those popups appear very frequently (every time i wake the device up) and this is annoying as hell....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Yup, i also can confirm it :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] paulleung:
Today I have the same problem, and I don't want to see it pops up each time I wake up the device but to delete it and reinstall this software again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] TheMusicMaster:
O.K. it is not a big issue..

Just install the latest version (link).

After reinstalling, the popup is gone :D

(i installed the "V. 1.04 Beta nightly build")
[Touch GSM ROM Development] flykthewiz:
does this mean it is a wm6.0 core with 6.1 apps or a 6.1 rom?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] top2:
The same thing !
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
We all got it today,

Just go to the baterystatus website and download the cab install it and its over :D

Is the new version of the HTC Touchflo 'Manila' on your new ROM Bram? Will this be the surprise?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] DennisM87:
Danish Rom.

Hey Bram..

Just wanted to check in on how its progressing with the Danish Rom for Touch :)

And if you need some translating done u can send the text in english and we are an whole community that would love to help with translating text to help you out..

//Out

DennisM
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Manila is in an alpha stage, and is not even close to be run clean on a touch (in fact the one leaked is for a VGA device)

And the suprise was the 6.1 rom Bram already told us :P

But i hope the manila project will take a fast leap to "good usage" because i very interested

I don't think Bram will release a Danish rom, first he will release the WWE rom and then he will take a look at the Dutch rom.. so if there is going to be a Danish rom you will have to wait your turn :P

:D

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AsusFreak:
Hi Re-Mi,

I found it great when you're always defending Bram's work. But: take a look at the new ROMs ShadoW 2.0 and PDAVIET. Both are stable and fast. I'm looking forward for Bram's work as well but I hope he'll integrate WM 6.1.

Greetz

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
Well, i know i looks a little obsesive :P but i must confess currently i'm using an other rom the shadow 2 rom ;)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] The Stranger:
We are the champion.

:D He is also a Dutchman, he

:D

But you are right man, time is flying - new roms are well done cooked and running on my Touch, so Bram's release must be something special, spectacular never done before?

Bram... I believe in you and know that you will come with something soon.

* It's becoming a very stable rom with a 2.21.710.2B base: Is this WM6.0 ?

Anyway >> meanwhile he is breaking all the records at the moment, he is running at 283 MHz stable with not a noticeable battery loss at all :eek: and aiming higher clocks.

Wouw... don't let us down, do not make it a Xtriny story.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Martincyborg@gmail.com:
something wrong with that post Stranger. if you believe and know, then wheres the need for hoping? hey guys, Brams work is awesome and I do think a little patience is in place when it comes to his work. Its not like he is your employee or anything. ;-)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] charli:
I totally agree with you martin, and I don't think that Bram cooks this Roms to compete with other cookers or anything. I think that he just cooks them because he likes to share them with other people. So just don't compare between cooks please.

:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] steveapp:
I've tried just about every rom posted on the forum over the past 3 or 4 months, and was the same when I used my hermes.

I think all the rom cookers are great, they have their own styles and each to their own, I've liked parts of just about each rom, its not a case of one is better than another, just finding the one thats the best match for you...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] terra65:
Agree....and if you want a ROM to be great in every aspect (which is personal), just start cooking yourself :D

Don't forget to share it here

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
It will be the WWE version as Btram stated before :( i also prefer the Dutch version first, but i think he's got more english users then dutch one's

And all the rom stuff Bram's getting is in english ergo it's easier to present "your" rom in the language it was natively build on.

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jackolus:
more important problem for normal touch users is pagepool...

THE others says that it's impossible to change it from 8MB in wm 6.1 but we have Bram of course and he's the last hope :)

Haha, i'm your only hope indeed:p, my pagepool is 4 mb.

Great news, the users with the normal touch we are grateful for it to you because lately all the roms go out with 8Mb of pool and we cannot change like this pool for what we do not use these roms because it remains very few free ram. Thank you, we will hope with longing that Friday should come

[Touch GSM ROM Development] CarlosT:
Hey Bram, like others in here i'm eagerly waiting for the release of your upcoming "hit" ROM. I got several questions though:

1-You stated that it ran at 283Mhz without battery loss. Isn't that a bit counter-intuitive? I mean in theory higher clock frequency means more power drainage, so how does this work?

2-Will it run on wm6.1? or it will be wm6 with some of wm6.1's features?

3-Can you please provide some exact figures about the free RAM on this ROM?

I hope this is not much to ask, thanks.

1. This means that ican run @ 283 mhz constantly without battery drain compared to the 6.0 touch roms. they are so fully packed wih software draining the battery. wm 6.1 has a lighter core an i removed some **** wich runs in the background to minimize the battery drain.

2. As i stated in question 1: YES

3. Storage: aprrox 50 mb

So this comes from a ELF base only?

Or do you know the new adres of the Pagepool from ELF/ELFIN ROM's?

I'm curious for anything new, as i've been checking out some other Roms.

Shadow and Blue Elvin 5.0

Can't wait to start on a new 6.1 Base.

Hi Bram,

Are you planning on releasing 8MB PP version also , as the 8MB PP versions seem to work well with my Elfin.

With a cook as good as you are I can expect 4MB PP version also to run as fast.

I can Wait for an 8MB PP version if you say you will release it.

Everything okay?

Your final release is almost there, and I ... like all the others are waiting for it, during waiting I'm reading this 60 pages thread and i noticed something!

Why did you change the base and build during the finalizing of your rom?

from

Rom: 2.21.710.2b

Os: 5.2.1921 (build 18128.0.4.4)

To

OEM: TS_OEM_6.1.2.23 >> And which base rom are using now?

OS: 5.2.2021(build 19521.1.1.0)

Ext-Rom: TS_EXT_6.1.2.23

I think thats cos 6.1 runs much faster))
[Touch GSM ROM Development] crazyray:
Hopefully Bram will posted it at the of today, so I can enjoy the new rom on vacation :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
TS_OEM_6.1.2.23 is based on 2.21.710.2b but i've made so many changes/fixes/mods/additions that i gave it my own build number.

The os is changed from wm 6.0 to wm 6.1, so the os build numbers are different.
