How about camera ver 5.09 instead of 4.11, shafez? :rolleyes:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] gtee:
One suggestion, Esmertec JBed is much better than JBlend, which doesn't offer full screen running of the Java programs such as opera mobile.

Another suggestion, to save some memory, maybe you can shift all programs/temp data write to SDcard?

I got me a cable to I'm ready to go, but I keep getting this image is corrupt error. I'm starting to think I'm doing something wrong. What I do:

1. Make sure my phone is connected

2. Run 'elfin-uspl.exe'

3. Follow all steps.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] buggers999:
Got a question about the animations shafez. The animation when you switch tabs is very slow. Is this because that's the way the animation is or because the touch is relatively slow? Would be great to have it a tad faster, although setting my cpu speed to 299mhz doesn't help anything, leading me to think it's the just the animation.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
I see this sometimes on my Onyx ROM. Could be due to the fact that Audio Manager or Comm Manager are running in the background?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ptitrusse:
hi

great ROM!

is it possible to choose a digital clock instead of the analog one on the home screen? or will I have to download an alternate theme?

Waiting for R2 anyway great job!

(in case it's impossible to choose do you know where I can find the exact same theme with digital clock? couldn't find it here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425974 )

regards
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
The original Opal M2D Does not have the animation as it was in Opal Port. In R1 I used dsixda fix to get the animation to work.

I think HTC disabled the animation because of this reason.

Regards
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
Sure it is easily done, But some people likes the Analog Clock and others likes it Digital.

The Digital Clock cab is only 131 KB and it will not take much space to install after flashing.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] gagandeepbains:
can you provide me some other download link for R2 else than megaupload, as it is not working on my connection.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Thanks again Sherif! Created a mirror @Mediafire again:

Mirror download

- Download Opal Port R2 Full.rar here.

- Download Opal Port R2 Ultra.rar (lite version) here.

- Download tools needed for flashing the rom here.

First impressions R2

- Flash went ok.

- The first boot after a succesful flash is rather slow (2 to 3 minutes), so please have patience.

- Extended rom install went ok.

- Network wizard detected my Dutch provider and configuration went ok (including gprs settings).

- GPRS is ok (including autoconnect, disconnect via statusbar and config via Nodata).

- First sync went ok. Device is recognized as "Touch_Viva" (configuration item at [Settings][System][About][Device ID]).

- Default X-Button setting is ok, End programs by tapping "X" ([Settings][System][Task Manager][Button]).

- Regional settings Dutch (Netherlands) ok.

- Sliding tab effect is still working ;).

- The rom is very fast and responsive.

- Wifi is ok. Now you can enable/disable Wifi via Communication Manager and via [Settings][Connections][Wireless LAN]. R1 bug is gone.

- Camera (hardware)button is working. Best thing is, binding the hardware button to another application is working ([Settings][Buttons][Program Buttons])!

- PIM replacement (vjbrisk) works ok.

- Adding local city to weather works ok (after editing and replacing the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file).

- All photo and video functions from the tab work ok. Including zoom and rotation of images and playing captured video's. Best of all, files from the device and from the storage card are detected by default.

- Email (including auto setup) is working ok.

- Adding contacts to the speeddiallist starts the Random Access correct (with alphabetic list to scroll).

- Long Press End Key is working. Can be enabled in [Settings][Buttons][End Key].

- The Opal Youtube player runs great.

- Tomtom version 7 runs great.

- Bluetooth carkit (Nokia CK-7W) is working ok.

Overall performance is again very good (even better than R1). The default pagepool size is 12MB for Elfin and 8MB for Elf (can easily be changed with dsixda's pp changer). Great rom, very impressive! We all owe Sherif a very big thanks!

I replaced the default analog clock with a digital one. Simply install this cab file I created. Removing this will restore the original analog clock.

I can' t install it either...

using: elfin

USPL 2.26

IPL 2.26

after running elfin-uspl.exe succesfully (getting the blank white screen) i started the romupdate utility, but after 3% progress it says "image file corrupted". The RUU_signed.nbh seems to be okay, downloaded it 2 times.

any suggestions?

thanks,

[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I use this for flashing and it works. Just copy RUU_signed.nbh into the same directory and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] murmeltier84:
Oh sorry, I forgot to say: I installed EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab allready, because i flashed my elfin allready a few times with other roms :-)

Great Rom

I tried Shadow, Touch Essential, Blue as well as yours - Opal Like Rom.

Yours is the fastest. I concern much about the speed of dialing and incoming call.

It works excellently - No need to wait and never lag in procedure.

But I found a big problem that I think never do others face.

Because I'm Chinese and yours is EN-rom.

It can't display any Chinese in the M2D whatever I have installed some plugin for displaying Chinese.

I can read Chinese text message in "Messaging" but not in M2D.

Can you help?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:

[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
People's favorites are different, and very hard to forefill everybody's needs and make everyone happy.

That is why I did not include any 3rd party applications for several reasons

- 3rd party Apps can be installed to SDCard.

- 3rd party Apps get regular updates.

- You can easily remove the app you don't like not like if it was built into the Rom.

- Free more Storage memory.

Anyway, I am happy becqause most of you are happy.

Thank you and best regards

[Touch GSM ROM Development] gagandeepbains:
its really nice rom, but lite version is not up to mark it lacks basic functionality ie one cant install cabs or extract zip files. midlet is important component of a device even that is removed from rom, i dont know reasons but lite version seems slower than full version, but full version is excellent, keep it up, who needs lite versions when full version is so fast.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
Lite version is exactly the same as the Full version, only difference is removed apps.

Lite version is for people who want to custmize their device thier own way, so they can only install the apps they need maintaining the M2D functionalty.

Lite version is also aimed at the ELF users with less memory so they can install apps on SDCard.

So if if R2 Full serve all you needs, then why bother trying R2 Lite :rolleyes: :)

[Touch GSM ROM Development] buggers999:
What he says, that you can't install cabs, is a problem though. I tried to install HomePlusPlus or something (Batterystatus' new name), but it didn't show up in the programs list. Thought it was my fault, but seems like it's not?! I'm gonna flash Full soon.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
I am using R2 Full, Home Screen PlusPlus does not create a Program Icon, Only Creates a Today Shortcut.

If you install Second Today you can configure it and it runs perfectly ok.

Other programs install ok and shows up in the Programs List, Just Tried Advaced Configuration and it works ok.

Batterystatus 1.04 installs ok and creates a Program Shortcut.

Seems it is Home Screen PlusPlus that does not create the Shortcut.

What an awesome ROM! Thanks for your hard work.

Have been using Onyx for the past few weeks but was having a problem with voice dial through my Bluetooth hands free kit in the car. Posted a couple questions in the Onyx thread and the regular Elf forum but I guess no one else had the problem or uses voice dial on a hands free BT device.

Your Opal R2 ROM works great with voice dial on my BT device! With the new hands free law in my state, this was important and necessary and I really did not want to go back to using the Blue Elves ROM after getting a taste of Manilla 2d.

One small problem I have is that wifi will not turn on. I click on it in Comm Manager but it just stays off. Wifi was working earlier today when I had the Onyx ROM. Any advice how to get it turned on?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] seferismo:
wifi works for me. try hard reseting it again. if it still not work try flashing again.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
Wifi is working fine in my ELFin, I am using the R2 Full.

I suggest you do a hard reset then check the wifi again before you install any programs on the phone.

shafez, would it be possible to have future builds cooked (or have this one rebuilt) using Model ID: ELF010150. I'm not sure if this effects anyone else, but I am unable to flash from my SD when the Model ID in the ROM is ELF010050.

I actually have my own Opal port that I did using the information from the Opal forum and ended up with what you originally had. It works great, but as you know the Camera doesn't work and the battery indicator isn't accurate.

Anyway, I tried to dump your most recent ROM using Hybrid Kitchen, but instead of OEM and SYS folders in Packages, I ended up with a bunch of loose files. So at this point I can't try your ROM due to the Model ID and I can't rebuild it since it won't dump properly. =(

arabic or farsi fonts

Hi Shafez,

Nice rom!!!,

do u know by any chance, how to write sms in arabic with this rom. I have tried many programs, which makes possible to write in arabic, but the downside is that it also changes the Regional Setting to arabic. I live in norway, so i prefer that regional setting to be norwegian, but i could still write arabic sms.

i have downloaded this keyboard from the following link, which does not change the Regional Settings

http://www.shahabonline.com/FarsiPack/neaType.htm

but the problem is that it connot connect the alphabets to each other. For example, i write ur name in arabic, it appears like, SH A F I Z. I hope you understand what i mean. Can you help me in this regard?, although it has nothing to do with the rom. I just thought you might have some experience with the same problems.
