I use the phone keypad when sending text messages (never really got the hang of the full qwerty) and I noticed that there is no left parenthesis in the symbol category. Plus, in the 16 symbols page views, only about 7 pages have anything on them, leaving almost 9 empty pages with 19 symbol slots per. Is there a way to add missing symbols or even create some of your own (smileys/emoticons)?

Thanks again nfsfan and all who helped! Been using v8 for 2 weeks now and this is the ONLY issue I've had...VERY solid!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dormaned:
Marcjc--

had the same problem as you, I assume you were running the official VZW 6.1, before flashing the V8. The VZW 6.1 cripples the GPS.

I did this to un-cripple the GPS:

http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS

it takes about an hour, but it works. In step 4, I flashed the official VZW 6.1 to get the latest radio 3.37.78, again "DO NOT LET CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN".

This fixed all my GPS woes. Finally.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
no kidding huh? Re-flashed it last night, been working great ever since. This morning, about an hour ago, ActiveSync stopped working. Rebooted it, now it is acting up again. Boot goes through to the startup animation, and freezes the phone.

I honestly just dont get it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcjc:
Great.... I was running 6.1 so I will try what you mention and let you know how it goes...

thanks for your reply.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcjc:
In looking at the instructions, the last step is the AGPS fix... I was under the impression that this is already included in the v8 rom? Is my impression correct?

Thanks,

Marc
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
and onto re-flash number 3. Looks like I might just be headed back to 6.1 if this is what to expect
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] yearn:
Are you going with 6.1 or 6.5 or both for your new ROM?

And maybe once you get it perfected you will port it over to the Diamond, lol!

Ill keeps my fingers crossed!!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tweakerxp:
Can I please get some help with this bizarre issue:

I have 6.5 V8 and I just did a soft reset. Upon restart, I got the initial windows configuration screen (set the time, etc.) as if I had done a hard reset. Now when I click on the start menu everything is duplicated, for example, I have Contacts and Contacts (1) Contacts (1) has all my current contacts in it. Contacts is blank.

What can I do to restore my previous configuration?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rolandroland:
I use the Telsus IP/port (for QPST and registry) and it works.

Though it doesn't work inside like it used on his 6.1 with the original Verizon IP before that was blocked or whatever happened there. But I don't drive indoors so I am not complaining.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Yeah, I don't think it's on the faq, it must be here in this thread.

I think that was the one I had saved on my home computer and was going to try a couple things out with it but never got around to it. :rolleyes:

Are you talking about my registry fix not playing the music with the screen off?

Because it works on my phone no problem with the screen off

and with or without it locked.

Weird, never heard of that problem, or that fix before.

I was actually going to look into this in the future.

I just have to find the files for the keyboard,

and then I should be able to figure it out.

But I just haven't had time to look for the files yet.

Please do let us know,

I am waiting to hear back from you,

that way I can compare with my faq's fix and adjust where necessary.

Geez.

This is weird.

You do know it takes like ten to fifteen minutes the first time it boots up after flashing your phone right?

It always seems like its hanging up on the htc logo,

but it's just doing it's thing.

When I let it boot up I usually just walk away and go eat something and then come back like twenty minutes later or so.

But after you get through the initial startup/setup,

it starts up as fast as 6.1 and in some ways I think it goes faster.

I'm not sure, anyone else know?

I didn't bother with agps or anything like that really.

I don't use my gps on my phone that often for it to really bother me.

I'm assuming he's going with 6.5 since it is the touch pro, and has been out for a long ass time, so there's no point in making a 6.1 rom for something that already has millions of 6.1 roms out.

That is ridiculous.

Did you instally anything after flashing?

What have you all done to your phone?

I'm trying to figure out what would do this...

And unless you have a backup of your setups,

I'm pretty sure there's no way to restore it.

Haha, drivings indoors would be intense.

I always wanted to take a mini cooper in Mall Of America in Minnesota.

That place is f*ckin huuuuuuuge.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
Yeah, i know it takes 5-10 minutes on the first boot up, no problem there. But this has gotten to the point of hanging on the HTC screen for 30-40 minutes+. I think i can consider that "broken"

Install 3 went good today, only thing i did different today was I allowed the VZW customizations to run this time, and have yet to install any additional software, just configured the software that was on the phone.

So far, so good. Been running solid since 9:30am PST today. Got the MMS setup, GPS, cant get a lock on a satellite.

Another 6.5 question. The Windows Lock feature (when you hit start, and the Lock softkey). Do you know of a way to have the phone auto-lock when the screen turns off?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Yes, there's a program called autolock.

the exact name of the newest updated version can be found within the last two pages. It was included in v7, but caused alot of problems for people,

so it was taken out.

I personally am going to try to mess around with the program here in the next few days, and see what I can get it to do,

or find/build a better one. :D

But I'll prolly just search for one,

as I've been feeling quite lazy lately. :rolleyes:
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
i like the functionality of SU2U, but would love to use the built in application within windows.... doesnt look like that is going to happen.

one more thing. Do you know how to make T9 the default input method, not ABC? I know i can select the default keyboard, but the damn thing always defaults to ABC, gets quite annoying.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tweakerxp:
Yes, I installed S2U2, Evernote, Skyfire, and MSN Live Search. I will note that the reason behind the soft reset was because S2U2 was no longer loading when I was waking the device, so maybe it was the culprit. I just remembered that the most recently installed app was MSN live search, so that could be it too.

Anyways, I'll just live with it until a new ROM comes out. It seems kind of pointless to reflash it with V8 and get everything set up the way I want it, just to have to reflash again in a few days.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcjc:
okay.... so I got GPS working.... Thanks dormaned for the tips @ http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS

The note I posted about the aGPS fix included.... it's not.

The GPS wasn't working after following the tips from dormaned, so I then I followed the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix and all is working fine.

Thanks to all for your help.

Order in which I did things:

1 - http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?t...IX_VERIZON_GPS

*at step 4- used the current 6.1 verizon rom

2- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix

Thanks again. :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
That registry fix works. I'm talking about my BattSuspend registry fix that I posted some time ago. It just extended the time that the phone would go into suspend.

Yeah, it's what I did with my sister's Verizon Vogue since it was being stubborn.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] QkSi1ver:
SO having a Touch Pro is the next logical upgrade? I mean i love the Touch because I have a cheap planand get to use the unltd browsing and a great UI plus all the custom roms you spoil us with....

I'd like to upgrade my phone but im not sure if i can use the same plan to the Pro... Have you sacrificed your plan and dropped the unltd browsing? What do u recommend?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] TrainWreck44:
bro, the exact same thing happened to me.... You cant restore your config but what you can do is go into the windows folder and delete all the duplicate icon files.... thats what I did... so my start menu was normal again.... but the phone ran rather slow... so i ended up hard resetting.. the only app that i use that you have installed is skyfire... but i don't think that is the culprit... because I reflashed and set up my phone again and it runs great....

I ended up flashing the original bell latest vogue rom... let all the customs run.... it reboots... then when it loads after the customs before i did anything i soft reset again... after that I reflashed the 6.5 v8 rom and its been running perfect ever since... (about a week ago) I dunno if anyone else has tried it but from now on im flashing to the latest bell (or your service provider) rom then going to the custom one... no more flashing over custom roms... I dunno why this would make a difference but it seems to have solved the problem... with me at least :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Yeah, I have the registry location in my faq,

and a cab that will edit the registry for you if wanted.

Good to know, Ill have to adjust the faq with this info.

Okay, I was just verifying that it wasn't a problem with my registry fix. :D

I say no. I would wait for the touch pro2.

The touch pro has a couple problems that they are not bothering to fix.

For one, the keyboard breaks,

People have reported taking really good care of their phones,

and the keyboards just deciding to break

and the screen will get a spot on it that looks like an oil spill.

My friend bought a touch pro about two months ago,

and just got his fourth one thanks to insurance.

And he takes really good care of his phones too.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] soccerman821:
im with u on this.. i cant wait for the touch pro 2.. y buy a last gen phone right before actual good ones come out? ive only heard negative things on the touch pro.. specially the crapped out verizon one
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Yeah, no joke.

I'm really hoping verizon doesn't do the same thing to the touch pro2,

but I'm sure they will.

I just hope alltel will still not touch the phone,

they didn't do the same hack job as verizon did to the touch pro.

H*ll, that's if they will still let me get a phone through alltel and resign.

haha. Doubt it... :/
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
is there ever gonna be another update? i wanted as an excuse to change my theme again lol

and of course new features or something! :D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
Hey good to see ya here again, your on this thread as much (little) as me lately:D of course I have the spending 12-13 hrs a day flying an airplane exuse!!!

DD and CB are far to good at answering everyones questions by the time I get to a hotel to check!

Anyways NFSFAN was on here the other day saying next week for our Vogue update, he's putting the finishing touches on his TP ROM. Curse those PPCHaven guys who bought him a new toy!! I was hoping he'd wait for the TP2 myself, maybe he knows something the rest of us don't.

BTW NFSFAN (If you read this), I know it's been asked before but what did ya go with for a data plan?? As a fellow Bell slave I was curious. Do you have any plans to get the tp2 when us canuck heads get it or are you going to wait for something better??

Jason
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
It'll come soon enough... ;)

Haven't seen you one here in a while...

Pshhhhhh, that's no excuse. :p

So tell me, does using your cellphone really affect the plane?

:D
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thejacer:
Alltel - After flashing to v7 (haven't felt the need to upgrade yet lol) my gps is crap (as seems to be the default for the alltel touch). normally i can apply shadow-tech's agps fix but now it won't work. cant complete the call as dialed and what not. any1 know if this is caused by the rom? should i flash back? cause i'd kinda like to have my gps working lol
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dxiong:
how to relock

Just started using 6.5 V8, I am with Bell, and never had any one single issue since it is flashed, your ROM rocks! Thank so much for your hard work on this!

However, I have a question for the unlocked phone, the phone's body has lots of cracks, and needs to be replaced under warranty, what can I do before I return it? I can flash back to the official Bell 6.1 ROM (don't know how to flash back to the original stock ROM). But I heard I need to relock it before return, I wonder how I can do that?

Thanks in advance!

-----------------------------------

Sorry, guys, I should search first, I will search and go to ImCokeMan's threads for how to do that...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
yup, phone froze up again overnight.

basically what it does it the OS still works, but any application you try to launch, comes back with an error that the application is unsigned and cannot start. A reboot of the phone results in it hanging at the HTC boot screen.

think i am going to have to try the BuildOS from PPCkitchen, see if i have better luck than with NFSFAN's ROM. I am going out of town this weekend and cannot afford to have my phone down.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dxiong:
When you said "Then load the stock ROM", did you mean "the newest stock rom"? I read codybear's NFSFAN 6.5 ROM FAQ thread, and he mentioned "To relock it, all you do is use the Imcokeman's .40 unlocker, redo the unlocking procedure with that unlocker, and then flash the newest stock rom from your carrier. And that will relock your phone." I am with Bell, the newest stock I can find is the 6.1 with the file name RUU_Vogue_BM_WWE_3.09.666.1_Radio3.42.50_Ship.exe, I think that's what I would try. If you are using the newest stock rom, I will be conerned about this approach then, I just don't want to brick my phone for now. In ImCoKeMaN's thread for Unlockers for Custom Roms on Vogue 2.31(GPS) and 0.40(nonGPS), he has a warning at the bottom of his post there: "WARNING: Attempting to downgrade after GPS (3.xx) upgrade can cause (at least as of now) bricking of devices (I have a dead mogul and vogue to prove it!)", and I am completely confused reading that.

I also heard there is another approach using 0.41 Unlocker: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=29172&highlight=warranty+downgrade, but the author wrote it up back in 06-13-2008, before the the newest Bell 6.1 ROM, so I am not sure if anybody has successfully relocked theirs using this approach.

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] magicalan:
i been here looking at the posts :p

hope you get the touch diamond2 which i think its better than the touch pro because the pro is HUGE

but hey there both the same just the size that i dont like and the keyboard.

what carrier do you use? me sprint! i been seeying alot of ads on sprint about the palm pre :p
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] zeke0zero:
What happened to my Data Connection?

I apologize in advance if this was answered elsewhere but I have tried 3 different fixes and none of them worked.

I am using a Verizon xv6900 Vogue.

Radio version 3.37.78

I just flased to the new 6.5 V8 rom and it was beautiful, except my data connection wouldn't work. Then I read some more and realized I should have let customizations run.

So I reflashed back to 6.1, the data connection started working again, so I reflashed back to 6.5 and the data connection worked till I did a soft reset. Now I can't get it to come back up in 6.5 again.

I have reflashed to verizon stock rom, then flashed back to 6.5,

I had verizon deauthorize my phone then reauthorize it,

I reflashed back to NFSfan's 6.1 rom and back to 6.5 which worked before, now it does not work at all.

I love your roms NFSfan and I'd hate to have to go back to 6.1 now that I've seen how pretty 6.5 is. Please anyone I need all the suggestions this community has.

Thanks!

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
It's all good.

At the IMCokeMan's thread he should have the process there,

I have a little quick overview in my faq,

but it is just a really quick overview of what I found at his thread.

Man-o-man.

That's ridiculous.

Well that's why I particularly stick with my service provider's radios just for that precaution.

But all you're suppose to have to do is re-unlock with the .41 unlocker,

then flash your carrier's newest official rom.

So if you upgraded with another carrier's radio,

that could potentially be a problem with that process.

I advise to search and search and search some more throughout ImCokeMan's thread and see if there's someone else that had the same issue as you and if it bricked their device or not.

Yeah, palm pre is pretty dope,

I just don't like palm.

But the pre is not a bad choice.

And I'm getting the TP2, not diamond.

The only thing I like about the diamond is the camera.

TP2 has tons more I want,

including keyboard.

The vogue I've always kinda hated because it didn't have the keyboard.

Once I have had a keyboard on a phone, I've hated all the phone's I've had without a keyboard.

Try running the dcd carrier cab.

It's located in my faq,

Stereo Bluetooth Support?

I Flashed My Vogue With Version 8 and it dose not support my stereo bluetooth headset is there any way we cloud get this integrated into rom v9 :confused: as i am sure a lot of people use their phone as an iPod
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] zeke0zero:
Wow, 4 hours of scrubbing the forums and you guys were nice enough to make a sweet FAQ. Wish I'd checked that earlier.

The carrier cab worked like a charm, thanks for the help!!

I have to say, NFSfan, you have outdone yourself. This ROM totally sped up my GPS locating and the touchscreen has never been more accurate. The vibrate-on-touch is a great feature too.

Keep up the great work man!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
the "Vibe on touch" you mention here is an application called "TouchResponse" that one of our XDA members developed over in the Development and Hacking forum.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhrc4:
no **** huh?

BuildOS 6.5 ROM i cooked and flashed has been solid and steady all day, even going through plenty of reboots just for good measure.

I was able to get everything as clean as NFSFANs ROM, just need to do the aGPS update and i think i am good with a ROM that is close to NFSFANs, nice and clean.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Congrats man.

When I get my rom all set up,

I'll be starting another faq with the stuff I put in my rom,

like registry hacks and tweaks and all kinds of other stuff.

So keep an eye out, It'll have a bunch of goodies. ;)

Man I was loving the 6.5rom ...

But I just washed my touch :mad:

Good thing I have insurance so 50 bucks to get another one shipped.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spalla:
You mean the warranty? Once you install a cooked rom onto your phone, it's gone.

Fortunately, restoring to stock rom will fix the issue.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Snakehn:
He can't he said he washed it, and since there is no way for them to tell that it was "hacked" he will get a new one LOL

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
My last device bricked because of the re-locking process.

I was using 2.31 & downgraded to 0.41 & well it erased the radio n wouldnt install the radio n the stock rom + it froze in setup via usb & memory card method. I was given an error # in bootloader. So I did find this custom rom & it did work after flashing a radio but no service. I then flashed back to 2.31 successfully but then the radio never worked properly even tho installed so I got a new one. You can however install I believe 0.41 then installed the earliest rom from your carrier. Bootloaders now are 2.01 in newer versions & 1.07 in the early editions. This is why I suggest a stock bootloader application needing creating.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
I just personally wish that IMcokeman would remake his unlocker.

He made the newer one so the stock rom wouldn't relock the phone each time you flashed to it. I personally would much rather have to re-unlock my phone after each time I flash a stock rom.

But I'm sorry to hear that about your phone.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kjhadfield:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Old faithful:
Your experience almost exactly replicates mine (see my post of february 2009). Although this may have been caused by some hardware problem, the similarities are too uncanny to ignore...

It goes without saying that since getting my replacement phone, I haven't tried any new ROMs... The issue of reverting back to OEM condition must definitely be clarified once and for all...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dxiong:
Thanks for sharing your experience, that's what I am afraid of doing. Well, what I can do is just simply reflash to the 6.1 Bell Stock ROM (it has the radio update), the 6.1 Bell Stock ROM just looks like the orginal 6.0 OEM Stock ROM, I think it will be fine to return it to Bell (I am still waiting for my replacement to be mailed to me, and then will ship the old one back to Bell). The only thing is that it is unlocked, I hope that won't cause any problem.

So for your bricked phone, did you return it to your carrier without any problem?
