Said hundreds of times already, this is PRE-release... This OS is by no means complete or a finished product.

WHEN it is finally finished and a full release is out there, there is to be expected theme generators, the ability to add/remove items (which exists already to a limited extent) move items up or down the list and more plus what is more usable? what you find needed quickly, 80% of mobile users may not so should 15 different versions be released? Microsoft did that already with Vista and are planning the same for Windows 7 - people complained about too MANY choices LOL there just is no way to please everyone. Some people want the settings more easily accessible, others want music/video more accessable while others want more easily accessible Office functions and then theres alot that just want it for what it is a phone with email/internet connectivity.

Most of the items than can be done are only possible by people taking the time to learn this new mobile OS and tear it apart and determine what can and cant be changed and what apps can and need to be written to do so, give it some time and be patient, so far this is a very fast, stable release of what is essentially a beta product and people outside of Microsoft are working to make it fully featured as well as Microsoft to do their thing as well

Thats the main reason why I think NFSFAN and others a creating BOTH 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs at this time, to satisfy the needs and wants of the users - if you dont like 6.5 certainly no one is forcing you to utilize it and from what Im reading 6.1 has been great so far as well.

I found this "maze" your referring to fairly simple with some time to get used to how things work as well as pressing and holding the [settings] icon and then clicking "move to top" saves alot of scrolling by simple clicking on start>settings>setting needed LOL

While I agree to some extent, if you don't want to play with the phone and "fix" it, get an Iphone, they've got the average user's needs down pat.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] steve98:
Wow, thank you SO MUCH for this, this is such a big help. Interestingly, once I run this my mobile now shows the correct caller ID info when I receive a call while the phone is locked, fixing the issue i reported a couple of pages back.

The only bit I don't get from the instructions is:

To autostart after softreset:

> Create a shortcut of the csdevctrl.exe and add in the target after the executable name the word -SHORTCUT.

> Copy the shortcut to /Windows/StartUp folder.

I am lost trying to follow this, having never dealt with shortcuts on WinMo before. Would anyone be kind enough to explain how to do this in noob talk? Cheers!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bigough13:
NFSFAN, just flashed 1.12. It seems like each built is much better and faster than the last. This one is very fast, at least seems that way. Thank you again, again you have out done yourself.

Jason

edit: This is just a skin, and as such replaces image files. It will not change the dialer itself. For this reason it is only to be used with the CDMA dialer on the 6.5 ROM. It will not actually replace the dialer. If someone using the 6.1 ROM (GSM dialer) were to install this you would have a one way ticket to hard-resetville.

I'm with Bell, using ROM 1.31 and I'm also curious about this. Not so much his question 1, but question 2

Is the best way to use the PAN profile method? I accidentally used the DUN method yesterday and I'm wondering if I might get charged.

Great ROM btw thanks NSFAN!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
NFSFAN,

Understandably you are quite busy and god forbid attempting to have a life and some sleep rather than pumping out ROMs like a machine LOL

but.. any update to version 5 still being released today or will it need a day or two more?

Just curious if I should wait or not through the day today LOL

haha.. D_D.. was just wondering the same thing as i have been checking back on the hour :D

i was also thinking it would be sweet to port the htc touchdiamond2 keyboard to qvga and more specifically for our vogues.. but of course i dont know if this is even possibnle, just thinking out loud ;)

Same here.

on an unrelated note, I'm looking for a possible solution to add wifi to my vogue w/o loosing my storage card, does anyone know of a bluetooth wifi adapter or even an SD Wifi card+storage? I have a solution to add a microSD to SD adapter using the extended battery cover but still no storage+wifi solution =[
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokry56:
Sure man. Assuming you're on 6.5 here's what to do. (or rather here's what works for me, i'm not sure where you got your instructions)

1. copy the zip folder that's in the post i linked to over to your device (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=386451)

2. unzip it

3. use csdevctrlsetup.exe to change whatever settings you want... the only ones i touched were -- "Lock After Device Wakes" -check "Lock While on External Power" - check "Lock While Cradled" - check

4. save your changes (click on ok, then yes)

5. press and hold on csdevctrl.exe and then select "Copy"

6. go to /Windows/Startup

7. press and hold in the empty space then select "Paste Shortcut"

and done!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
no small request here LOL

try this..

an article on Spec-Techs Micro-SD Wi-Fi solution

http://www.chipchick.com/2006/09/spectecs_micros.html

and another on the Sumo-Drive from Suzuki Technologies

http://momopost.blogspot.com/2007/12/worlds-smallest-wifi-storage-device.html

Personally I see it easier to pick up a netbook and an external drive than attempt this all on a HTC Vogue, or at the very least pick up a Diamond2 or Touch Pro2 when they hit the markets if they have Wi-Fi that is after all, your looking to interface the drive with a device smaller than the storage unit itself LOL

but hey, to each their own

This May be common knowledge to most of you phone junkies out there, but I was just playin around and

Found a quick way to access comm manager so you toggle bluetooth etc.

What I Did

1) Searched Device for comm manager

2) found the Comm Manager app and copied it too device>Program Files

3) went to start>settings>personal>buttons and mapped camera long key to Comm Manager.

A nice quick way to access common settings on your device.

NfsFans 6.5 rom rocks!!! I've had many, and no hands down, this is the best!!!

New SMS layout

NFS 1st of all thanks for all your work on your roms. I just had a quick question. I'm using your 6.5 rom, and I noticed the SMS still has the old layout like the 6.1 roms. Is the new layout not included in this build or is it just a problem I'm having?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] steve98:
Dude thank you SO MUCH!

This is the perfect ROM now... makes this old vogue feel like brand new. Thank you NFSFan again!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
What new SMS layout are you talking about?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I might be able to release 6.5 v5 today. However I'm not 100% sure. I'll try to do so today, because tomorrow I won't be able to.

If you use total commander, in the file menu there is an option to create a shortcut of any file. Select your file, click create shortcut, hit "tree" and select the windows/startup/ folder, and click ok. Done.

YMMV = Your massage may vary, I know the touch is a great phone, however does it give happy endings also.:eek:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
I assume your talking about this from the Touch pro 2?

It is from HTC, not MicroSoft. Nothing to do with 6.5

Looks cool though,

I don't think it has a new SMS layout.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] derekwilkinson:
Is there a way to get the Music bar to go to HTC's Audio Manager instead of Windows Media Player?

Hopefully Microsoft will update Media Player for 6.5, because in this build it is awful! HTC's Audio Manager is much more friendly :)

It's lookn like we will have wait another day, or two, or three, for V5......

I will now unglue my eyes from this devilish machine, and unstick my finger from the F5 button, and go to bed once again dissatisfied.

NfsFan- You do great work, but, you also give false hope..... We understand it takes time to do the wonderful work that you do, but, if you can't release it yet, just say so, it's O.K. You don't have to string us along......
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] PatcheZ:
flashed to 1.31 the other night, found a strange problem.

while sending an email, on the "to" section... if i use the Compact QWERTY as an input i get 2 different email address completion methods (an outlook box-style and the t9 word completion).

If i select from the outlook box-style, it's fine.

if i select from the t9 word completion to complete the email address, a blank area with the cursor moved is inputted in the "to" section. Pressing the 'backspace" button to remove this blank section causes the phone to freeze.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmouw:
bummer...guess im goin to bed:(
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
This isn't my daily job. It is up to me when I release the ROM or if I even release it at all. You don't pay me to release it at a certain time on a certain day. I have other things to do, and understand that I can't work on ROMs 24/7. If you don't, thats your problem. But don't come here saying that I give false hope, and that I'm stringing you or anyone else for that matter along. Other matters have come up in my schedule, that at the moment just don't allow me to work on this. If I'd get paid for this, more than any daily job out there would offer, then sure I would understand. Until that happens please don't come here preaching that I should meet deadlines that I've setup, when it is completely up to me to change my mind, and release it whenever time permits. Thanks for understanding, and in the future try not to be so rude.

Hi, New guy here

i will have to say that this thread is by far my favorite thread and i love the roms that you make NFSFAN

Just installed this ROM today and everything appeared to go fine. However on the main screen I keep getting the message "Tap here to launch TouchFLO". I keep tapping it and nothing happens. I tried playing around with both the TouchFLO and Manilla2D settings but still can't get it to work.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

You didn't mention the fact that you are using another theme...If so, that theme may be incompatible.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
There are 2 keys... The one controlling the webpage in the M2D tab, and the other one controlling the text being displayed...

They are found at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\Customized

string: BannerURL --> value: http://www.htc.com/

string: BannerURLText --> value: www.htc.com
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ramirata:
hey NFSFAN

It's too bad about your departure over at PPCHaven. I am, however, glad that you didn't give up on your talents and are continuing you work on this site. Any site regarding PPC's is lucky to have you involved!! (Rom users are lucky too)

Happy New Year!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] spuzzum:
yeah i changed both of the them both and it still defaults back...like immediately, the changes aren't being saved or something is changing them back, after a soft result as well. I can save homepage under the settings tab and then when i open the widget i have to push the home icon and then it goes to google , but not if i click the globe.....i got a little OCD for this. But like i said i believe it's from a previous rom (not yours) from six months back, because i have the same boot screen too that stays even after flashes.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
Spuzzum - I was having the same issue as you. Try using CeRegEditor to change the registry. After establishing an active sync connection, you access the registry from your desktop to make the changes, then hit save. This will allow your changes to the registry to stick. It worked for me.

Good luck.

Here is CeRegEditor:

Communications Error

Every time I try to install the 1.09 ROM to my Verizon XV6900, the Update Utility says . The phone screen goes to the tri-color screen and then the progress indicator, but a minute or two later I get "Error [262] : Update Error ... the ROM Update Utility has encountered communication errors during the update process."

I am able to remove and replace the battery in my phone and come out of rom update mode, luckily. However, i have tried this update on two different machines and I still have no luck.

I have tried both recommended unlockers (they pop up a command screen and then disappear after a couple of minutes, no confirmation or info about the unlock status).

Anyone have any suggestions?

a bug..

ok.. so while i was manually adding my contacts to my phone, the phone froze.... since nothing would respond anymore i had no choice but to take out the battery and put it back in to restart the phone. so when it restarted the touch screen wouldn't work anymore, i tried soft resetting it still wouldn't work.... should i reflash the phone?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jbos6:

I think some people forget that this is a hobby for you, not a ful time job. Thanks for all the hours and hard work you put into your roms. I've been installing them from day 1 and i've never been dissapointed.

YEAH!!!!!! What a totally D***HEAD thing to say. Like he mentioned YOU don't donate and put in the countless hours that he does. So, till you do more than just download his S**T and complain about bugs you find I would suggest not saying much about release dates. And on that note,

Thanks for keeping us up to date on what's going on with the releases. I and other RESPECTFUL users know it is up to you when you release.

Keep up the good work.

Everyone,

seriously can we all chill out - Jsminnis said what he said and personally I think he was attempting some dry, sarconic humor (at least I hope so) and NFSFAN responded as needed - thats really all that was needed, this really isnt going to go anywhere but negative here and reflect really poorly on this thread and the group we have here in general and the forum as a whole...

Adrian, take your time .. I for one will wait, v4 is rock solid on my phone currently and Im no hurry for v5 if it will continue to be solid, fast and well built as you have a style of doing with your ROMs

Get some rest and deal with life, everyone here will survive and if not - well plenty of ROMs out there, good luck and seeya because there is NOT alot of Chefs making 6.5 ROMs right now and most are having severe issues with them, so if your in a hurry go there and try them, you'll be back

MMS is so flaky with VZW. Edit your registry as follows:

MMS should then work; it did for me.

Also - NFS thanks for all your hard work. Your command of this stuff never ceases to amaze me.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sean.Thon:
I agree and I also agree with Jsminnis, other than the stringing along part though I do think that was meant to be a joke. I've been watching the forum all day awaiting the release of V5 and yes, I am a *little* disappointed however NFSFAN has a life, as do we all hopefully and I agree with NFSFAN a 100%

We all obviously have the mindset where we want to play with our devices (really no pun intended) and are always looking to improve them or have the latest and greatest.

However I have been happy with every release of the 6.5 ROM NFSFAN has released and have had 0 issues with any of them. We all appreciate your work and tireless effort, and to say any less would be a lie. This is by far the best WM 6.5 ROM available for the Vogue. So lets all agree or agree to disagree and take Jsminnis's comment as the joke that I hope that it was, and we'll all live to flash another day :)

I think my biggest issue with the last two roms is im torn which one to use! LOL Im so used to 6.1 but really enjoying 6.5, it does take a bit of getting used too. But wow. 6.5 is smooth and solid for a beta. Not to get off topic but i've been using Windows 7 and im amazed how solid it is as a beta as well. Im wondering if Microsoft is learning from their previous mistakes and finally releasing some great software.
