As far as i can tell the office files are in the windows directory and thats exactly where the installer will put them allso (unless you install on your memory card) so i guess it wont take extra memory then does it?

The problem with Exel not working in another one of Bram's ROM's has been discussed before and you can fix it yourself (the fix discussed there goes for this ROM allso). My office works allthough i just deleted the office related registry entry's i managed to find.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
Yes it does... files in the rom don't take storage space (there's a seperate "rom-space"). The cab will install them over it. Afterwards you will have the files double. The new ones you installed AND the one from the rom in case you uninstall or make a hard-reset. Ofcourse you will only see the one you installed in your file-manager.

Excel

Could you tell me where the excel discussion and fix took place. The only thing I could find is the reinstall of the Office2007.cab. Thx.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] whistler-nl:
I'm not sure these are all present in the registry (Inkword i think) but delete the other registry entry's and then re-install office.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\InkWord

Bram,

Excellent rom you made!

Is there a way to save current configuration?

It is al lot off work to restore all the settings and other things after renewing the rom.

What can be kept and what is lost?

Battery Drain

Hi All

Anyone got an ideas why this rom Drains the Battery so much. It is an excellent rom but I seem to be charging it up all the time.

Any help would be appreciated, or is this going to be sorted in SP2

Thanks

Bram, what's the status on the next version? You were talking about sp2 but your sig says 2.xx Big changes planned?

Anyway, I would like to know if there's a change that wm5storage will be included in your next release. I like your rom and I need to program, so it would be great if it would.

Keep up the great work!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
"tried to update but i received an error 270 , the image file is corrupted. Does anybody knows whats going on? "

Please to make this forum international try to post everything in english.

Try to download the file again, maybe something went wrong there. I'm flashing to this rom daily and i'm not recieving any error's

I'm using the one in my signature. (try to download that one)

On the other hand did you first CID unlock your touch (regular old touch, and not enhanched)

Greetz,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
I think everyone would appreciate it if you talked english :p But to answer your question: I read that you have to try a couple of times to flash, sometimes it doesn't work on the first try. And it might help if you removed your sd and sim card.

I don't know if this could cause that error, but: have you CID unlocked your device first?

Edit: Re-Mi beat me to it :p

One tiny problem

Hi there,

I have one little problem with my [x] button / battery icon. On the today screen it looks like there is some invisible button in front of the [x] button / battery icon. When I open some application I do see the [x] button.

I tried to change this in the advanced config, battery status etc. but I can't get rid of it.

Could someone help me with this?

Image of the problem:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Re-Mi:
First thing i tought was also Advanced configurations. On the second tab of the program what does it says on "Show on title bar" i've noticed that if i have anything different that Battery it shows up weird.

Greetz.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dondonnie:
On the "Show on title bar" I have selected nothing. When I select something like time it is there like it should be. But I still miss the HTC x button as it should be in the ROM (HTC x-Button 1.5)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dondonnie:
Solved

While posting the above message I realized I haven't seen the HTC [X] button under settings on my phone.

I downloaded the HTC X-Button and installed it and now it is working. So it could be some problem in the Rom, in other words it looks like it isn't there.

Thanks for the help though :rolleyes:

Hi Bram,

I really love your custom ROM's. I changed from the SPV-c500 to the Touch and I can't say I like the change. Too many flaws in the software of the Touch. However, I started experimenting with your ROM's and others, and I find them very useful.

On problem I have noticed is the following:

When I am in a call with someone, I can't use the on-screen buttons for muting sound, put it on speaker, etc. There is just a blank screen. When I rub my finger to find the location of the buttons, they do appear.. just in words. It's far from useful that I can't use them properly.

Is this an error to just my Touch or does anyone else experience this?

Looking forward to the new version (WHEN!!!!:D )
[Touch GSM ROM Development] anheuer:
Is the problem with batterystatus a problem of the rom or the batterystatus version?

Because i clock my device above 260....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
The 4 sided cube is currently under development, making a new design to it and the whole rom. I release it when The whole design is ready, and release that roms under the new names of 2.xx!

when you check the first post there is a change list.

gr. bram
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
260 is the max for this rom on my htc touch.

But noonski found out that that the pocessor(or cooling of the processor) is not as stable as other pocessors in other devices.

it seems that even if you have an identic HTC touch, the max overclock depends on your device.

My device can clock to 260, and myb yours can clock to 300. Very strange isn't it?

And by that, the different rom may couse a difference between high and low clocks.

So our touch is a very unstable device.

With my rom(Touch Surface 1.75) I clock variable between 143 and 247 with a boost of 260. works very nice!

Black Touch XL

I'm not sure about this, but I thought only white devices were XL (ELFin). I just bought my Dutch MDA Black touch and it seems to have 256 mb flash size and 128mb RAM.

I don't think i'm going to be able to flash my rom with the NLD 1.75(2.21.707.1B)?????

Does anybody know about a Black Touch XL?????

thanks in advance
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bram_smulders:
Touch xl cannot be flashed with Regular touch roms, Mayb one day i'll make my roms for both devices.

The MDA touch wich everybody buys now are touch XL's.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Mr. Guy:
I found a original rom for my touch XL. It's a .nbh file. Is it possible to replace the .nbh file with the .nbh file including in the rom placed in this thread and flash the replaced .nbh file by using run utility manager?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
No you can't. Bram already pointed out that this rom is only for normal touch and not for the touch XL. You can only flash your touch xl with roms especially suited for touch XL.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] anheuer:
So this could be different for every user??

Is this somethin you always had or just with this rom?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Mr. Guy:
you are not following me. i only want to replace the .nbh file with the correct file i found for my touch xl, is that possible? than i would be updating the correct file for my touch xl
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
I'm sorry. I read your post too fast (damn caffeine :p).

I'm not really sure if what your suggesting would work. But maybe using the rom updater from this thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=348469" is a better start. It is suited for a touch xl (elfin).

But I don't know if you can just interchange nbh files in the updater application. Somebody else will have to give you that info.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Devil_Inside:
It's you, who's not following. It was said twice alreay! This rom is FOR NORMAL TOUCH ONLY, not for Touch XL or any other Touch editions.

If you want to experiment, just go ahead... but no one here will be responsible if smth goes wrong.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tiftof:
He's not trying to flash this rom, he's trying to flash a touch xl rom using the updater that's being used by this rom.

btw, Mr. Guy, why do you want to flash your device to the original rom you found? As far as I understand, you are still using the original one that came with your device.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tazhtc:
Installed and tested

works very very well, is a great rom

many compliments Bram

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nmesisca:
Well,

its the same thing on the CPU of your desktop PC really..

The 'quality' of the processor determines what level of overclocking it can take..

That, and the type of cooling used, of course. And even using the same heatsink, the thermal paste could be different. :p and used in different quantities..

The point is, every integrated circuit has physical limits very specific to itself, you can only be sure its gonna perform as it should if you use it at default settings..

The rom can influence power consumption too, and some of them do.. thats why I dont generally flash my device with a new rom the moment it comes out.. :o

..

Lets see who's the first one that installs a water cooler in the Touch :D

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tazhtc:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Mr. Guy:
Flashing original Rom

Thanks for understanding me!

I have the original rom. When something goes wrong with flahing a customized touch XL rom to my touch XL, i'll have the original rom and know how to flash the original rom (.nbh file).

Thats why i'm asking if it is possible to replace Barts .nbh file with my original T-mobile MDA touch XL romand use the update utility manager to update the original ROM.

I dont know how to flash the original .nbh file to my touch XL if anything goes wrong in the future with flashing

@ bram:

nice work, love it!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] lbatteau:
I made a huge mistake by flashing my HTC Touch with this Rom. Though it never said XL or ELFIN during the purchase, I found out it is a 256/128 Touch, so apparently it is XL/ELFIN. After working with the new Rom all afternoon without problems, it started going wrong when I turned the phone off. Instead of going to 'sleep' mode, it rebooted, showing the T-Mobile bootloader screen and then shutting down completely.

I've been trying to restore the thing by flashing it with the original Rom, and other Roms for ELFIN/XL, but to no good. I'm hopeless! Just received the thing yesterday!!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Spec:

HTC Touch 256/128

WWE 1.31 SP1(2.21.707.1B)

IPL 2.81.0002

SOL 1.11.0000
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
Take the rom tiftof mentioned (he gave a link) and replace the nbh. It's an Elfin / TouchXL rom. This is a normal Elf rom. Don't know if there's a difference in the updater, but you will ben more safe to use that one. Please stop using this thread for this.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Mr. Guy:
Flashing original Rom

You mean replace the .nbh file provided by Bram and then use the utililty updater as i mentioned before????

I will no longer place any comments refering to mentioned problem in this thread. Please mention the correct thread. is it this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1786942&posted=1#post1786942

Yup this could be different for every user.

With seksona 1.17.xxx roms i could clock to 299 without any harm.

The device and rom decides how high you can clock.

problem has been fixed, releasing a patch soon!!

Lets see if i can fix it in the new version of the rom.

gr. bram

ps. Thanx for all your replies and help to make this rom better and better!

By the way, hasd anyone tried the Alttab attachment from first post already?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
No! as said before, this rom (the nbh file) is for the normal touch.

Tiftof gave you a link to this rom for the touchXL. You've got a nbh file you want to use (make sure it's for touchXL and that you've got a touchXL)? You are more safe to replace it with the nbh in that rom.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] xenokira:
I used your 1.31 and really liked it! Everything looks great about this ROM except I keep getting an error whenever I try to connect to my university's exchange server on activesync. Not sure if this will be any help, but the support code is 0x80004005. I verified with my friend that also uses the exchange via his WM phone and he has connectivity, so I don't think its a server issue. I also experienced the Advanced Configuration error other members mention above. Thanks for all your hard work :)

Update:

Just tested with a different ROM and I was able to connect without any issues. I wonder why it doesn't work with Surface 1.75 :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nitin.b.kumar:
quick basic questions

I currently have ver 2.52(2.20.707.1B) ROM on my HTC I was looking if there was any update on the same....

am I right in thinking that instead of downloading the next version of 2.52 which would be 2.72, if i get Surface 1.75 it will be the advanced version of 2.52..... ??

also, was just wondering what is RADIO ??? I see people mentioning abt version of radio.... it meight be a funny question to ask.... but is it the FM radio ??? i guess not... !! please update my general knowledge..

Also, I wanted to know if I could get back my original ROM which I got with my Touch while buying....?? back from HTC site or some place... !!

Thanks guys.... you people are doing a great job making new ROMs

[Touch GSM ROM Development] jackolus:
sorry Bram but I must say that it's the worst rom I've ever use...

I had been using Touch Dual and I simply loved it ! But it was a time when all the sh** stuff ruled the device and I though "why hard reset, let see what's new"... and it began:

- in the tutorial you alarmed to flash WITH card inserted... it's wrong becouse ruu stuck at 0% and touch can not run despite bootloader! after a few desperating attempts it finally finished ( but without sd ), which I inserted before customization...

everything seems fine for a while

- ie cache and some stuff installed in the folder "Storage Card" on the device so real memory card is called with number 2 and of course folder on the device is undeletable

- it's not becouse of you, but with xt9 on and native language sms is shortened to 70 signs

- long press of end key is not "alt-tab" but quick menu with pretty unusefull shortcuts

- the most unbelievable thing is that calculator, touch settings, camera and some others application DON"T EXIST in the memory ! in the start menu are only shortcuts

touch settings is really must have application so I simply downloaded it but installation says that I haven't system permission to install it !!!

sorry for those critically words... I'm very impressed your hard work, but pleaaaase - can we just don't cross the line of sd card in extended rom ? :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
It's not wrong.... flashing goes just fine with microsd inserted! Must be a mistake from you.

Not true again.... this is because you put in microsd too late!

Guess.... not true! Can SMS just fine with 160 chars.

Yeah yeah, not true! Read the first post again ("Endkey Mapped to red hardware button longpress replacable with Alttab").

Unbelievable? He made a mistake in this rom and he said he will fix this.... can't he make mistakes? CONTRIBUTE before criticizing this way!
