Hi all,

I've successfully flashed ShadoW2.1TE, and it went smoother than I thought. I had to CID unlock twice (stupid penguin popped up first time) but other than that, it went pretty smooth.

As far as Shadow2.1TE goes, I like it. I never spent much time with the OEM ROM @ WM6.0, but I do think WM6.1 is faster and more stable.

That said, Shadow2.1TE has some programs that i don't use like ...

- WkTask, because I lose the clock in the taskbar, and I prefer MagicButton

- Voicedialer, becuase I use MS Voice Commander

- ClearTemp and Hibernate, because I use memmaid

But 3 programs isn't too bad, especially when I have the ELFin with more memory. It is a huge improvement over the OEM ROM already.

I also ran into a few quirks, which may be ShadowTE ROM related.

- Speed dial doesn't work. I can't setup any digit (except for 1, which is default for voicemail) for speed dial.

- There are some problems with SIP's. Everytime I try to change the SIP, the device freezes for ~ 15 - 20 sec before I get the pop up menu bar to choose which SIP to change it to. First time it happened I thought the phone's hang.

And then I also had some stability issues, which may or may not be related to the ROM because I've been installing softwares and tweaking the registries, so it could be the s/w or registry changes, but the last few days my phone has frozen up easily (like 2-3 times a day) and takes forever to start up after reset. Half the times the phone would freeze after a reset too.

So I've been thinking of re-flashing the ROM and starting from scratch. I've thought about flashing the ShadowCE, which I heard is more stable and faster, but the green theme really kills me. I can change the theme, but the task bar and title bar would remain green ... sorry, but the green is a deal breaker for me.

I also thought about Noonski's WM6.09 ROM cos it's pretty clean ... but it has some issues (like screen alignment) that need workarounds and make it difficult for newbies.

The BlueElves has many preloaded programs which I don't use ... so it's not for me.

I may end up reflashing the ShadoW2.1TE again ... any suggestions?

But 2 programs isn't too bad

WiFi problems

Hi,

First of all, I really like this rom. I upgraded from Shadow 2.0 which was great as well. But now with 2.1 I have WiFi problems. With 2.0 everything was fine but now I have a very bad connection. Most of the times I can't update weather and surfing like this is totally out of the question. Does anyone have the same or know a solution? Could upgrading radio rom help? I upgraded to a newer (but still quite old) one but it didn't help.

[edit]Solved the problem!

It turns out I had to set power mode to "Best performance" in the Wireless Lan settings. That's odd, since even at a few centimeters away from the router it won't work with the other settings. With best performance it works great everywhere.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] the cheshire cat:
ah yes so many unnecessary questions so little time, first off:

you may seek the search function in the forums

...there's a good chance is your problems aren't special

and neither are you

when flashing STOP at the end of step 2

if you experience stability issues or active sync annoyances disable the advanced network functionality in the settings/connections/USB to pc

(trust me you won't need it)

to enable menu animations first go to settings/system/large start menu and disable...reset... enable menu animations... reset... and DONE

do you have wifi related problems? get detailed... who else is on the wifi network? weather can be fixed by doing a registry edit... search for it

and read up on it all

[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
I used to have this ROM on my ELFin but has since moved to ShadoW 2.1 CE ... I like to keep it light and enjoy the snappy performance.

The 1 thing I really miss the TE though, is the ShadoW dialer. I have installed the HTC Dialer on my CE to replace the stock MS WM6 dialer, but Cloudyfa's Shadow dialer is better.

Can Cloudyfa (or anyone) please put the dialer skin in a .cab format?

Thanks a lot!!!

HTC Weather Problem

I dont know what coudl have caused this but i have reflashed this ROM 3 times now and im still getting the same problem.

when the phone is connected to wifi i can not download the weather.

Can anyone shed some light onto this for me please:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Queequeg:
Instead of reflashing the ROM, you should have tried to search this topic. :rolleyes:

The problem is well known and there is a post on this thread describing how to solve it:

There is a "Search This Thread" button on the brown button bar above and it can save you a lot of effort. :)

I've read through most but not all posts here...

I have in the past flashed my Axim X50v but am worried to flash my less than 1 month old Touch (Elfin) beacuse I might break it for good!

Can you "brick" the phone from this upgrade? Can you reach a point where you simply can't go back to an original, safer rom?

Also, I am on Rogers and have Name Display - does this ROM support Name Display?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Yes, there's always a chance you may brick your phone to a point you can't bring it back even to the original ROM. Is that risk high? Not if you follow all the steps, but that risk exists.

I think most of the ppl here brick their ELF(in) while trying to CID unlock it. Make sure you choose the right USPL that corresponds to your IPL / SPL (v1? v2?) and do your homework before you start.

Once you've successfully CID unlocked your phone, the risk of bricking your phone is very low IMO.

But if you don't feel comfortable with it, then don't do it, that risk always exists.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
Hi buddy, I found the tool, but whatever is done through changing the PP by searching the offset and alter the value is only for ELF, ELFin needs to alter the XIP before packing the files into the signed nbh, so I may have to wait for a larger PP version Shadow then...

[Touch GSM ROM Development] @cid:
Anyluck? I want the Missed Call Tab to really direct to missed calls too.

Is there any reg tweaks for this? Can you help, Cloudyfa?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] number16:
Depends on what you define as "slow".

The Touch should not be 'slow' when navigating through menu's, or using basic softwares (calendar, contacts, or word, excel etc). You will, however, experience the 'slowness' if you try to play video files, or do something that's extremely CPU intensive. This is afterall a 200MHz processor.

Using CE DOES speed things up significantly, and I strongly suggest CE over TE.

There are other ways to speed things up a bit too, like overclocking, or tweaking registry to increase system cache (at the price of storage / program memory).

If after flashing TE ROM you experience slowness even in terms of how fast the start menu refreshes, then maybe you want to reflash again. I had t his problem when I flashed my wife's Cheetah (Treo 750) with Wm6.1, and reflashing it fixed the problem.

Elf problem

Hi

Don't know if i'm being dumb here, but tried to flash this rom to an Elf since this rom was built for a Elf + Elfin, according to the tittle of this topic.

now, followed all the steps, CID unlocked the phone and correctly flashed the rom to the phone. after marveling at how fast the phone was, started getting strange phone resets, until i woke up this morning and the phone wouldn't get past the "Smart mobility" screen.

now, can anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong? been searching around and can't get the phone to work. tried different rom versions, with successful flashing, but the phone still gets stuck at the same screen?

thanks for any help.

Yo Cloudyfa

Time for you to move again I think, I have been seeing build 19585 and similar being cooked by others but the result was rahter disappointing, mostly incompatible with Chinese shell app and forcing users to use the "funny" splash screens.

We are all looking forward to seeing your next version of Shadow, if for ELFin anyway, may we request a 12MB PP version?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] thejoker01:
Well, I just finished upgrading. Seems like a solid and fast ROM thanks!

One thing I noticed is that the up and side-to-side animations are kind of slow for the touch cube, is there a registry entry I can edit to make it as fast as the down animation?

Also is there a way to get profile switching back onto HTC Home?

can anybody tell me which one is better shadow 2.1 or blue elves 5.0?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
I have been using the Shadow 2.1TE for months and my comment for it is one word: stable

I have to say it is not the fastest one around since it has only got one version and it is using the stock 12MB dynamic PP which is just about right but you would expect a 16-18MB PP would improve the overall performance.

Then all of a sudden, a multi PP version of Blue Elves came out, by natural mean, I moved to it because of the PP size but nothing else.

It is smoother than the Shadow I have to say but the stability is not as good, I used the same set of apps and settings so I can tell.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
So who is the true winner?

Well, I have tried: Mobiz, Viet, Blue, and I concluded that the following are the most important when comes to a cooked ROM:

1 - What is included and what is not

2 - What can be installed and what cannot

3 - Speed x Stability

If 1 x 2 x 3, I have experienced, Shadow 2.1 TE is what I use now knowing that changing the PP is so easy.

I know this thread is quite long, but next time don't be lazy to click "Search this thread" and input "weather" into search column. One of post you'll find would help you.. It's this one:

For FTP is use Total Commander (CeCmd)

For the weather you just need to :

- disable HTC Home plugin

- go to the registry (with Cecmd or PHM regedit for example)

go to HKML/Softwares/HTC/HTCHome/weather/settings/ and delete every thing in there

- also delete every thing in the HKML/Softwares/HTC/HTCHome/weather/ exept the settings folder

- Relaunch HTCHome and sync again

Bricked My Device

Hey guys, I'm not posting this to flame anyone this seems like an amazing rom.

I have the 128 mb touch from Rogers in Canada, and this bricked my device ... twice.

I don't know why, but after being installed for a short time (20 mins) it just turned off .. and wouldn't turn back on. Assuming I had screwed it up, I was luckily able to reflash in bootloader mode to a different rom and then put this back on.

And it happened again.

The third time I must say, I tried the blue elf rom. I've had no issues except that I don't like it as much. So beware ... I am not versed enough to know why this bricked my device but it did.

Thanks for the great work, hopefully you can discover what the issue is - I really liked the speed and interface.
