Great ROM!!

I flashed the ROM yesterday and spent all night installing apps / customizing it. This is a great ROM!

Compared to the TE, which is what I last put on the ELFin, the CE is MUCH more stable and much faster. My last PDA was the HTC Magician, which was a 400MHz processor running WM2003SE, and was pretty fast. The Touch running WM6.1 in this CE ROM is just as fast, which is great considering it's a 200MHz machine running WM6.1, which is more taxing on the device.

I recommend this ROM to all of you ... even the green doesn't look so bad neither ;) (And you can get rid of it installing other themes & a dialer skin)

There are, however, problems that I am still dealing with though ...

1. You cannot receive or send file via BT. I've turned the beam on, and obviously BT on, and I still can't receive files. Seems like some OBEX files are missing ... I'm still looking into it.

2. Sometimes you gotta press the PWR button twice to turn the machine on, as some others have mentioned already. This is minor.

3. This one's really strange: Sometimes after a soft reset, my regional setting got changed to "ober(!@#!@#!)", and all of the text's are all screwed up (turned into symbols). My original regional setting, which is English(Canada), has disappeared from the list. I'd have to change it to English(USA), reset the device again to get the English(canada) setting back.

4. Wifi doesn't work half the times. I have no idea what it is, but after successfully connecting to a wireles network once, since then I cannot connect to any wireless network (same or others) ... this includes wireless networks that are wide open too (not secured). Anybody else experienced this?

5. There are other little quirks ... like I'd lose the soft buttons in Today view, and a soft reset fixes it. Minor ones.

You weight the pro's with the con's and I still think this is a great ROM. The wifi problem is the biggest killer ... but this is a ROM I'd suggest to anyone.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
The non stickiness of soft buttons is not rom related.

Look foor DotFred's Softkey Applet tochange softbuttions in controlpanel (correct them)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ruiz107:
Perfect!! :D Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Thanks Noonski ... it doesn't disappear most of the times anyways, so not a biggie.

The biggest problems though, are wifi and BT connections ... and they're bad enough I might have to go back to TE, which would be a real shame. Can anybody help??

Wifi Problem - it CAN detect WLANs that are available, but cannot connect to them, even the wide open unsecured ones. I have searched hard for any solution but can't find anything. In the TE it could connect to WLANs no problem at all. In the CE, the first time I ever connected to WLAN it worked, and after that it just cannot connect to it.

EDIT: My bad. I can actually receive and send files via BT ... I just didn't know I had to pair-up the device with another before I can send / receive. In WM2003SE, I could send file without making a partnership. BT is no longer an issue ... Wifi, however, is still an issue.

SIP Problem - it's showed its ugly head even on the CE! I begin to think it's a software conflict problem instead of a ROM problem. Right after I flashed the ROM with no software installed, changing the SIP was no problem. You click on the up arrow beside the SIP button and the SIP menu pop up rightaway. Now when you click on that button to change the SIP method, there's a ~ 15 sec delay every single time. The only external SIP that I installed was TouchPal keypad. I am not sure if that's the reason ... has anybody else experienced this?

The SIP Problem, I can live with, but the BT and Wifi problems are potential deal breakers ... I may have to go back to TE (or wait for official WM6.1ROM) if I can't fix them ... which would be such a shame because I do like how quick and otherwise stable Shadow2.1CE has been.

Any help is much appreciated!!!

Here's The Cube i hope i put in all the needed registries.

http://rapidshare.com/files/105289013/HTC_Cube-SPCBETA.cab

I didn't make this rom so i don't know if there might be some missing.

So no guarantee if this works on CE, but it should.

And euh it is big and it will drasticly change performance as it is being installed after flashing.

Any files installed into WIndows folder after a flash do not occupy REAL ROM memory, but maybe you won't even notice it.

(just open windows folder with explorer and count how long the waiting icon shows, then install cube and do the count to see the difference)

BTW this cab is for Touch Only
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Thanks Noonski!

Is this something that can be uninstalled through "Remove Program"? Or, at the very least, something that can be uninstalled if I backup the device before the installation and restore it that version?

Just in case it is too slow after the install.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] WMguy:
Thanks a lot Noonski! It works perfect and zero slow down.;)

@number, it is listed in the Remove Programs screen.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Yeah that's normal with a cab installation.. but it is possible to remove it from intsalled programs.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Noonski you're DA MAN! Thanks a lot!

I'll defn install it.

And better news, I also fixed the wifi problem. Apparently I went into "Network Sharing" and enabled it, and after a soft reset everything works! Not sure what network sharing has to do with WLAN connectivity, but it did the trick. So if you, like me, have problem with WLAN connectivity under this ROM, you can give it a try.

So the CE is here to stay. I really like how it's a lot more stable and much faster than the TE, while you can customize the applications that you use without taking on 'garbage appz' that you never touch.

Great works guys!!!

Now, the only outstanding problem I have is the SIP problem ... it's a nuisance more than a 'problem'. Like I said, everytime I want to change the SIP and click on the arrow beside the SIP button, there's a 15-20 sec delay before the SIP popup menu appears.

I read somewhere that you cannot change the default SIP on the ELF(in). I didn't try to change it, but I did realize when I installed TouchPal keyboard (very good SIP, btw) by default it tried to make itself the default SIP. This could've caused a problem.

Anybody knows how I can fix this SIP thing? Thanks in advance ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Installed the 3D cube and it works great! I don't notice any hit on performance neither. When I checked memory, it's gone up slightly ... I used to have 70% of free memory with no application open, and now i have 67%. Still, in actual use of the phone I didn't find it any slower.

Thanks again!!

Can somebody post HTC home cab link? because I found one installed and nothign happens on 6.1CE from shadow.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] MPerki:
Congrats Cloudya.

I've been using this for a few days on my elfin now and am very impressed with the results.

Excellent Memory and storage.

I've stripped off some more rubbish like the Getting started option.

I must admit to trying BlueElves first but found it overloaded and a bit bloaty.

Nice work man

hey mperki.. how did u edit this rom? this doesnt get packaged.. even i love this rom, flashed it once but then removed it for want of some packages within and some to be removed..

Change of micro SD

I've been using this amazing ROM for a while, and I don't want to change it (or reinstall it), but I want to use a new 2GB micro SD instead of the 1GB I'm using now.

Can anybody tell me if it's just a 'copy-paste' (from the old SD to the new one) or I've got to do something different ?

Thanks to all,

G.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
As long as you copy everything from the root direction to the root directory of he new SD card (i.e. keep everything exactly where they were on the old SD card) you should be fine.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] saifias:
I would love to have this ROM without the following:

- HTC Random Access (to use my preferred contact app)

- HTC Enlarge Start Menu (i am using QuickMenu)

- Green theme including Dialer, ComManager, Calc etc (i prefer the original WM blue theme)

None the less, CE 2.1 is one of the best ROMs available ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Ameet:
very true.. so true :D that was the first rom i flashed on my elfin when i got the touch
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ITMASTER:
Does anybody have info about HTC's official lunch date for new ROM based on WM6.1??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Yes it is the best ROM I've ever used too, and I'm sticking with it.

Regarding #1 ... what is random access anyways? I heard of it a lot but I don't see the contact app being any different than the stock MS Contact Mobile app.

#2 - yes, I don't use the enlarge menu neither, but I don't think it takes up that much space, and you can disable it. I disabled mined, and deleted the shortcut, and pretty much forget about it altogether.

#3 - the green isn't as bad now I've warmed up to it, and you can skin it (incl. dialer, CommManager) The one thing I can't change, is the default keyboard with the green and red buttons ... very Christmas like ;) That, combined with the fact you can't change the default SIP, is kindda annoying.

BTW, WM6.1 IS supposed to have a green theme, not blue.

Speaking of CommManager, there's a HTC CommManager .cab floating around that's black, and looks way better. Only problem is it is missing the beam On/Off switch. I've actually deleted it and went back to the green one for that reason.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Hi Noonski,

After installing this HTC Album folder, somehow the menu for this HTC Album is in chinese?!

Not only that, but some of my other apps' menu have been changed to chinese? I checked my regional setting and it hasn't changed (English Canada).

Worse, after removing the HTC Album, the chinese menu still stays??!?

Is there any way to fix this? Or do I have to hard-reset?!?!

Edit - Found the solution ... the HTC Album was extracted from a chinese ROM, thus the chinese menu. You have to replace RFileShell.dll in \Windows with the original file.

I've just installed this and it's working great!

However, in Internet Explorer I am unable to enter text in the login window at Gmail.com. I tried changing the input keyboard type but it still won't work.

Hi,

I have just tried to install the new Rom, but I am stuck.

This is what I have done. My Elf is already CID unlocked.

I have the complete folder on my desktop. I haven't copied any file to my Elf.

I double click on Romupdateutility and the wizzard starts. I press Next, next next and the update starts. My Elf turns Red/blue/Green and the wizzard starts 1%, 2% 3% en than it says...image is corrupt and everything stops.

Anyone any ideas of what goes wrong? At this moment I have the Blue Elves Rom installed.

great rom, but x-button doesn't close program...

First of all, thank you very much for the great rom. It's pretty responsive and feels solid. The only thing I can't find is the option to configure the x-button.... I want the x-botten to close every program I use, but now I have use the program manager to do it. Is there a solution? One other small thing: is there a dutch dic for transcriber available? Thnx
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
bten,

There is a CAB file for HTC Task Manager 2.0. Just search the forums and you will find it. It's the same thing as the real one.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
nigel, that sounds like your Touch isn't REALLY CID unlocked ... make sure you use the right version that corresponds to your SPL/IPL.

bten, clicking the "X" doesn't really close the window, that's a MS Mobile problem dating back to the very first PPC. There are lots of programs that fixes this problem ... wktask is the one I use.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
I've encountered a problem in ShadoW CE that just started happening randomly today (no programs installed), whereby if I enter a new appointment, it doesn't get added to my calender. Also, if I try to move to the next day in Agenda view (in the Calender app) with the right button, it won't move.

Luckily i made a backup with Spb Backup yesterday and I restored my programs again and it is fine now. hmmmm.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Hmmm I think I've got a problem with BT.

First of all, I can't receive any file via BT. I have my BT paired up with my wife's device (Palm Treo 650) and I can send files to her, but not the other way around. I've tried different files and no luck.

I then fried my older phone (HTC Magician / imate JAM) and same thing. I can send file from the ELFin to other BT devices, but I cannot receive any file via BT ... and it sucks when you don't have an IR port.

And i have both BT and beam turned on, and both devices are paired up with my phone.

The other problem I have, is if I click on Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > COM ports, I don't see a "Add a new COM port" item under the menu. The menu is completely blank. It seems like I cannot add a COM port to any device ... now I've ordered a BT GPS receiver to work with the Touch, and I know I'll have to add a COM port to the BT GPS receiver to work ... isn't that gonna be a problem?

Did anybody experience these BT problem as well?

Non-removable contacts

I noticed that this ROM puts in some contacts such as "Customer Assist." and "411" that the contacts program won't let you delete. I've looked around but can't seem to find anything that lets me remove them. Any ideas?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
I have the same thing but it's on the contacts list of my Sim card (not on the Outlook Contacts), and was always there before the ROM was installed. Are you sure it wasn't there before?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] asveikau:
Yeah, I'm absolutely certain it didn't show up on the stock ROM that I had. When I first bought the device not long ago and popped in my SIM there were no contacts visible at all. I suppose they could be from the SIM (they don't appear to be outlook contacts), but my old ROM didn't display them.. Curious...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] WMguy:
I've noticed that my videos don't show up under DCIM 100 Media folder on this ROM. The only way I can view them is via File Explorer. Is this the same on everyone elses or am I missing something?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] babakmaham:
this rom is very nice.

i tested all roms .this is the best for elfs.with big storage in memory .every thing is good.

tnx .i highly recommend this rom for all elf users.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Hmm ... are you sure they aren't on your SIM card?

I flashed the same ROM and I don't have those entries in contacts.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Kaitlyn2004:
I Believe I just unlocked my phone using USPL... but is there any way to verify apart from putting in another SIM card from another carrier, which I don't have access to?

I want to make sure everything is right and good to go before I attempt flashing this ROM!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kokotas:
First of all, please read the General Guide to Htc Elf(in).

As you'll see there, SIM unlocking is different from CID unlocking.

So there are different ways to check if each unlocking worked.

Good flashings;) and best regards!

Problem with the power button

When I'm using the original ROM and I press the power button, only the display is turned off (to turn off the phone I need to hold this button).

I installed the ROM Shadow 2.1 and when I press the power button the phone restart. The same problem happened when I installed the Blue Elvis ROM.

Amber Light Anomaly

Here's something that may point those who know far more than I about these things toward a solution:

I too have the amber light that stays on after a message has been viewed. However, I've found that running the free up RAM feature of SK Tools will immediately turn the light green every time. Have also noticed that the problem seems to occur most often when I check sms/mms/calls via Spb Mobile Shell Now screen.

This was a near-perfect ROM for me, but both times after I flashed it, after a couple of days it would no longer accept new Appointments when I entered them. Kind of annoying, because you enter one and then realize it was never saved! So you miss appointments.

I tried Blue Elves but it was kind of slow.

PDA Viet is buggy but it is the fastest.

Back to my slowwww Rogers backup. *sigh*
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Maybe no one knows about my old SPC rom then.

Only known bug was the USB to PC link not working.

And that's been fixed in new SP3 version beingmade now.

Maybe it's because the whole Preconfig thing. Good thing i'm taking it out then.

As far as i know it was the fastest haven't used Ameet's rom to much because it was to empty for my personal use..

Inbox - save sent messages (IMAP) & incoming call softkeys

I updated to Shadow 2.1 CE on my ELFin a few days ago and after doing a few fixes (weather and favorite people) I like it. My problem now is that the option 'keep copies of sent items in Sent folder' keeps getting re-checked after a soft reset. Even if I go into the registry and set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SaveSent to 0, it gets set back to 1 after a soft reboot. Any ideas? With Gmail IMAP, you need to disable this feature to prevent copies of sent items showing up in your inbox.

Also, is it possible to change the softkeys that come up on incoming calls? Prior to updating I had the options Answer and Silence. This allowed me to answer calls without putting wear on my green button. I now get the options Silence and Send Text. I see no reason to select 'send text' for incoming calls.

Thanks,

Grant

Dumb question probably, but I have never used Verizon. And will I be able to change to an ATT sim whenever I want to?

Also will tying up the IMEI with Verizon effect the return of the ph within my 15 days?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] murphyjasonc:
You can activate it with a Verizon sim and be able to change networks without any problems. I haven't tried it with this phone but with my Nexus 6P I was able to swap sims from Verizon to other carriers and back again without issues. The Pixel 2 XL is unlocked also so I don't see why it would be any different. As long as you bought it from the Google store or through Project Fi you will be able to return it within your 15 days. They have a record of your IMEI number and it will not change.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lightfire:
Thanks for the reply. Where I live is a hole for ATT and I thought I would try Verizon, although I prefer the less expensive GSM MVNO's.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gmt2001:
Be warned that if you select the "Unlocked" version from the Google store you may not be able to use it on the Verizon network unless you go directly to Verizon. My MVNO (StraightTalk) says my IMEI is not authorized and I ended up having to switch to their ATT SIM.
