does this rom include the camera optimization regedits, and the bluetooth audio profile enhancements? Just curious - my camera seems to be "fuzzy" now, when before (I'd applied the optimizaitons on my stock rom) it took decent pics. Not wonderful, but decent.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ljmeli:
DOHCstunr - just go to the Pandora website you get get the cab for WM
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Wipe your lenses? lol

Any optimizations on the camera, wouldn't change how sharp the image is on the screen. Every optimization you will find won't make a difference, because it is a 2MP camera, and any registry you set can't take the hardware beyond the limits. The only thing you can do is enable CIF mode on video camera. I hexed the camera.exe to allow zooming (2x in 0.2 intervals) up to 1M mode. Thats about all the optimizations you can do.

BT Audio profile enhancements? Well you can set those depending on your preference, you can play around with that in Advanced Config.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
As for the camera, try setting the macro settings to action (looks like a sports icon of someone running) helps clear up the pictures as the movement of your hand when you push the button can cause the picture to look blurred as the phone is moving when you press the button

NFSFAN, were you able to catch the new splash screen for Bell (With their new logo?) Let me know if you don't have it so I will send it again.

Thx

I uploaded my own version as well, a month ago or so. I prefer not to include any bootsplashes except for the animation.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I've been working quite a lot lately on 1.29. I've come up with a method of optimizing the FATFS partition and running a Microsoft cache filter with it. Several File System filters have been removed, and partition now works differently. I did this by rebuilding my XIP (eXecute In Place/Core), and manually optimizing the boot registry. I've been able to get the cachefilter to fully work on the FATFS partition, where as before there was an HTC File System Filter, which took care of maintaining the partition structure. The Release Directory File System Filter has also been removed, because this is not a used filter. Due to significant changes in the layout of the partition, there are significant speed improvements over extended periods of time usage. Cache is also preloaded at boot, and the ROM seems much more responsive and stable. 1.29 will undergo several beta stages, to ensure not only stability, but improved performance over extended usage.

This in turn I'm hoping it will fix many memory (NAND) related issues, especially with soft/hard reset, which seems to be caused by ULDR removal "incompatibility" with some NAND flash.

Goodge/Kilroy1stcav/NFSFAN,

similar problem, wondering if it is related: miss many calls because I cannot answer incomming calls. doesnt exactly lock up the phone, but does not answer call when I slide or press hard button - kind just lock the dialer until the call stops ringing. reboots seem to help. Dont remember having any of these problems with 1.09 - used that for a while, did not have any versions after 1.09 installed for very long until 1.12. I did have similar problems with some other ROMs I tried, Dette's is the only one that comes to mind. Any way, just wanted to report in case something could be done.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] myshinynewtouch:
thats a lot of stuff which i goes above and over my head :D but i like your ROMs very much and will be glad to test it out during the beta phases...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] n1co35:
hey NFSFAN,

i love ur rom and is hooked. however, i'm having problems with it for some reason when the phone freeze's and i soft reset. that soft reset becomes a hard reset...

am i doing anything wrong? i've had this happen to me numerous times.

as i look for any alternative rom's i kept comin back to urs. any ideas how i can fixed this? im using the vouge for sprint.

thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Please use the search in the future. This has been stated well over 100 times. Try flashing to stock, then back to mine. If that doesn't do it, then wait till the next release, there are major changes done to the partition layout in the TBA releases.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bigjohn_S:
Thanks for the answers, re CAMERA...

Now one more dumb question.

Noticed this in the car tonight...

Are the green and red 'buttons' lights supposed to be on 24x7??

I installed the Opera version you provided a page or two back and it seems to work just fine. I only noticed that in Manilla 2D, the internet tab doesn't seem to work when I press any of the shortcuts, even though when I update my Favorites the shortcuts update properly. Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks again NFSFAN for the awesome work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mfpreach:
Hi NFS,

I don't know if this helps you at all, but I downgraded to 1.27 and I haven't had a crash or an error. It has been completely stable.

I mention this because if you remember 1.28 was hardresetting/exchange server problems.

I hope 1.29 works like 1.27!

EDIT: I just read your previous post, sounds like 1.29 will be completely diff, than 1.28 :)

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
Does anyone have 1.27? I can't stand using 1.28, it simply won't let me answer the phone! lol

hi nfsfan, are u bringing over any new stuff from topax and rhodium over to your new ROM, like a lot of stuff overe there but don't know if they have been skinned yet for QVGA...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
I tried 1.26, and it's definately no better at answering the phone... Does anyone know what the last version before the new GSM dialer was put in?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
In the meantime, try something that overrides the dialer like S2U2 or Resco Contacts.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kilroy1stcav:
I know that in other ROM's the problem was S2U2, and uninstalling that would fix the problem, but I believe that slide to unlock is built into the dialer in this ROM, like I said that if I reset every night I don't get this problem, it just seems to happen randomly when I do not reset, and if I have a missed call that I have not viewed.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Phone codes?

Now, I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable PPC user and a proficient user of NFSFAN's ROMs. However, one thing has always been a mystery and I am trying to figure it out: PHONE CODES.

What are they used for and what do the different codes do? I figure it has something to do with programming the phone for some advanced functions. I have googled and searched, but can't find any info. Thanks.

Hello

This bell's page http://www.geardiary.com/2008/08/07/htc-touch-rom-upgrade-for-bell-mobility-customers-now-available/ indicates that latest Bell ROM has:

- Add support for location based services using Bell’s GPS Nav application

- Add support for Live TV & Satellite Radio service

Why those apps are not in standard program list of this custom ROM??

thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobzero:
GPS Nav is garbage compared to even the free alternatives, Live search, goog maps. Plus it costs $10/month and requires a data connection, in other words it won't work where you don't have signal.

Last time i checked Live TV & Satellite Radio still did not work, it just displays a message "comming soon" although last time i checked was in Oct 2008.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bigjohn_S:
those are the codes that your provider normally has you key in to provision something, or enter the MSL, etc. This dialer does not pass them to the CDMA phone, so, the codes are in a separate folder.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
Ok, I'm on a hunt for the last stock-dialer ROM...does anyone have 1.26 for Bell?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Last stock dialer rom was like 1.17.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
That can't be...I was using 1.19 that had stock...and my roommate is still using 1.18 that's stock...?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
My bad. I don't really remember off the top of my head which build had the stock dialer last. It was none of the 1.2x builds tho, I know that. The dialer is working fine for me. I don't know what the problem is, all you have to do is slide the square slider.

5.2.19208 Build

I've been using NFSFAN ROM for my Touch Sprint for long time but I always have problem with the newer build. All the newer build beside 5.2.19208 cause my Gamin stuck at the first run so I have to turn it off and back on couple times.

Does anyone has NFSFAN's Sprint ROM with 5.2.19208 build? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
Are you connected to the data connection when you receive calls, or do you disconnect when your done with your connection?

And do you have copies of the old versions you released?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Works the same when its disconnected or connected to data. No I don't have any of the older versions of the ROMs.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Download a newer garmin.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a tweak without a 3rd app that each time I would create and reply to a text from the messaging widget or email it would change to landscape by default. I have a htc touch from bell.

You can map Rotate Screen to camera (press & hold) button.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
This all sounds very promising! And using a Microsoft cache filter makes me a lot happier than HTC... their stuff is generally very good, but the built-ins are pretty much guaranteed to work. Can't wait to try out a few beta's!

I don't know what makes you want to do this with all your free time, but I'm very glad that you do!

FYI there are plenty of folks that are quite happy with the slide-to-answer (myself included)... maybe the caching fixes will also resolve that issue, as it seems like something is locking up the processor while the phone is ringing...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
The removal of the HTC FileSystem filter should get rid of all the limitations on the NAND flash (if any), and it should solve the issue with soft reset resulting in a hard reset for some people.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] masterslacker:
I was using the 1.20 ROM for a long time, and it has the white button canvas (not slide to answer), and the working data connection arrows. If I still had a copy of the ROM, I'd post it somewhere, but unfortunately I deleted it since I use 1.26 now and it's stable for me ...everything works fine.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
Ok, from what I can search down I think 1.22 was the last one before the new dialer. Does anyone have a copy of that, or know where I can find it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
Honestly, I don't get the point of the new dialer. Why is it being used? It's nothing "special", causes the data connection activity icon to not work, and in my case makes the phone unanswerable. Ignoring my issue, why is the GSM dialer better?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Boss428man:
Hey everyone,

I just installed NFSFAN's Verizon 1.12 rom onto my phone. I previously had the updated rom installed and my GPS was fully working using the valhalla cab. I spent many hours setting up NFSFAN's rom and man it is working nice, except for the GPS. I've been reading through the forums for a few hours and have found a couple different methods but nothing that's real clear or definite. I am trying to find out what works best / what has worked for everyone. I am hoping i can get this working pretty soon as I have some traveling to do later this week. If someone could please offer some tips it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!!

Bad Touchscreen?

My screen is responding really randomly when I try to touch it. Sometimes it responds, other times it doesn't, sometimes it responds at a different point from where I touch it.

I reflashed and still have the same problem. In fact, I can't get past the screen alignment part. I reflashed to Sprint's stock ROM and it still isn't working correctly.

Am I heading for a replacement?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] PatcheZ:
Hey KhMeRA, have you tried changing the Remote GPS to "Use GPS Intermediate Driver"? (tools->settings->System)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Old faithful:
Although this is not the thread to post it in, I would say it's hardware, especially if you've reloaded everything to OEM condition. I've read somewhere that the digitizer cable is quiite fragile. There is a tutorial for taking it apart, should you feel the courage/have the necessity to get into it. Look for "OSeven's Disassembly Guide to the HTC Touch - Elf". HTH.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] PatcheZ:
sorry NFSFAN, should have asked first before posting the older roms
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] natefish:
Not the thread? You are completely correct, but I know how active this little community within a community is, so I wanted to get feedback ASAP. This is a premier place to get advice for the Touch and this is SO not a good time for this to happen...I don't know when I will have time to get to the Sprint store. Anyway, thanks for the update.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] KhMeRA:
Thanks

It was on COM4. Now I changed it to itermedia dirver and I will let you know the result. Thanks

Quick note to Telus subscribers

Quick tip to prevent the week of frustration I had (as a result of my own stupidity).

Flashing a stock ROM will clear the entire ROM (duh...), you should call *22803 to:

a) Reprogram the phone (1 for english, followed by 1 for this option)

b) Update the roaming list (1 for english, followed by 2 for this option)

B by far is the most important, without it your data connection will be sporadic and slow (in most places you'll drop to CDMA 1X). To get the EVDO Rev A you pay for you need to make sure you have the most recent roaming list. Most of this should go without saying, unfortunately it took me 5 days to realize I hadn't done this after the last flash.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I would request that you remove those links. I don't provide any support for versions that old anymore. Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vilord:
Since you asked...

My vzw vogue had a problem similar to yours. I noticed that there were spots on the top left and top right of the screen.

What happens is that our phones have a soft/flexible touch screen that works by two separate conductive plastic pieces touching each other.

On my phone, the "glue" from the edge of the screen "melted" from the heat of being in my pocket, and flowed into the space of the screen and they got stuck together. So, I took a razor knife at the top edge of the screen (edge of the shiney stuff, not edge of the lcd) and pried it up. Wiping out the goo with a cloth and my finger seemed to work. Now I have fingerprints inside the screen, but no touch problems...

EDIT: If I was less lazy, I would do it again and clean it properly with a mild rubbing alcohol solution to get rid of the prints, but, I'm lazy and it is currently working fine.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
I've found that 1.20 was the last pre-dialer, which is working perfectly for me at this point. Honestly, I'd say you should keep all the old versions around so when someone does have a problem, they can always get the old version that worked well for them. Not supporting an old release is understandable, but deleting them seems like a bad idea.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I don't think it is a bad idea. Because then people start to complain about issues that they have in the older versions.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Old faithful:
NFSFAN, you could simply warn users that support is for the current ROM only, and that any complaints about previous roms will be ignored.

Since you're doing it for free, there is no reason for anyone to complain anyway, anyone using these ROMs do so at their risk and perils. For more information, they should just refer to the first post in the thread, where you post the revision history.

A suggestion would be to post some screen shots, because raves and rants don't really tell much about functionality. But I guess not too many people are sticklers for details as myself. ;)

Eventhough I'm not using your ROM at this time (I first need to understand what went wrong when I first tried, and gain more knowledge on the intricacies of flashing reverting to OEM status), I respect what you've accomplished and encourage you in this endeavour. In any case, it's YOUR work, you can do as you please with it.

Although I prefer to have the option of trying different ROMs, I agree with you that PatcheZ should have asked before posting the files publicly.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
In a previous post he said that he'd have no problems with someone posting old versions if someone needed it. IMO you should have the current version, and an "archive" of old versions. If someone downloads from the archive, I would expect that they wouldn't be looking for support on them.

NFSfan, what's with the new dialer anyway? I mean, how is it better for us over a simple skin on the existing one?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ideal2545:

Then someone must have posted a fake because I tried it out a whiles back.. I still have it, but it's really unstable... I can't remember where I downloaded it from but the filename was "NFSFAN's WM6.5 ALPHA 0 ROM.rar".

I installed it but it would not audibly notify me of any incoming calls, and would freeze up pretty often.... then again - it was an alpha version...

In due time I suppose. ;)

Hi guys (NFSFAN) i recently ditched my Vogue out the window, and got myself a Diamond . I have always used NFSFAN's Roms. What i'm trying to figure out, is what version of IE it is in this rom?? I know its PIE 6 but is there different versions?? Reason i'm asking is because i can't find a custom rom that has finger scrolling with IE, (for the Diamond) and also this site here http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=ONT which i use ALOT, works flawlessly when loading the page, and putting the radar into motion. His ROM's have been the only ones that work so well when putting the radar into motion with the play button at the top of the image. Yes, Opera, Skyfire Etc. will load the page, and will play, but the screen flashes real bad when each frame loads. This is driving me crazy. I know there is something different because when you click "menu" at the bottom of the page in IE, the menu items are different. is there more than one Ver. 6 of IE?? or maybe some kinda addon or something that he uses in his ROMS?? I like the finger scrolling VS the side bars as well. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

I went back to 1.08 since 1.09 would not let my camera work for some reason. I had alot of problems flashing to 1.09 from the 1.08 rom and had to go back to stock for it to even work.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Goodge:
Ok, I think I've figured out my problem with answering the phone. I reproduced the problem in 1.20, so it's certainly not a "new dialer" specific problem. If you run the Advanced Configuration Tool, then go to Menu, More Settings, Connections and set your data connection to "Always On", save, and reboot. Now, once your phone is done booting, have someone call you and when answer the call you'll see a huge delay. This delay is several rings long which can cause the caller to be sent to voicemail before the answer command reaches the phone network. The kicker here is changing the setting back to normal does not correct the problem. I'm sure there's some way to do so, but I just hard reset.

Can anyone else confirm this with their currently working properly phone? Sure, this is a bug in Advanced Configuration Tool, but as it's bundled into the ROM it seems like something that could be fixed here...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
No, it isn't the tool. The tool just changes a value in the registry. Having data connection forced to always on will give the phone a hard time to switch into 1X mode for call. The data connection turns back on right after the call is ended.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ideal2545:
Yeah I think im gonna have to go back to stock also, i found the 1.08 and reflashed my device, now my phone doesnt hard reset anymore, but its taking forever to ring and i just end up getting voicemail sounds instead... QQ

so gonna try going back to the stock, then back to 1.08 hopefully that fixes whatevers left over from 1.09...
