Hi all, this release is *extremely* unstable for me.

I keep getting error messages popping up on-screen, about "ontime > offtime" and all kinds of other stuff I don't understand.

Also, my screen seems to randomly go unresponsive!

I am using a BELL HTC Touch

I need to find some older versions, this is rendering my phone almost unusable at times, when it gets all lagged out
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Have you tried flashing back to stock 6.1 and then flashing back to the v8?

Also, flash your phone more than once.

Instead of flashing twice and a hard reset,

I flash my phone 3 times in a row.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jacklad:
Stop being dopey!

I just wanted to chime in here - I am currently running the newest version of 6.5, and everything - EVERYTHING - is working great. I have nothing but appreciation and gratitude for NFSFAN, CODYBEAR, DETROIT DOUG, and everyone else that has made and continues to make contributions to these ROMs. I am far from an expert in these things, but I do know how to follow directions, and if you do, THESE THINGS WORK. Those guys are taking time away from school and family and life to do this, and we should only be grateful. That being said, the ROMs are not perfect, but they were never presented as being perfect. The guys have basically cobbled together something pretty f-ing cool out of nothing, and are learning how the new operating system works and reacts right along with the rest of us. They have put together something that will extend the life of these phones and maybe allow us all to learn something about how they work along the way - I for one am enjoying the process (although my wife thinks I'm retarded).

If you want perfect, flash back to the stock ROM, shut the f*** up, and take your problems to VZW customer service - I'll take my chances with the support from this board all day long -

OK, I've said my thing. Thanks to all for your hard work - can't wait for the next update -
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fwaits:
The way I would suggest doing it is to flash the latest BELL stock ROM (with the 3.42.50 radio) then do a hard reset after it completes. Then flash the V8 ROM, let it run the customizations after calibrating the screen, soft reset, then do another hard reset after it gets back to the today screen. Let everything run as usual and calibrate, then load whatever stuff you usually do. It has always worked for me a little better that way and seems a bit more stable/speedy. Your mileage may vary of course, but there is definitely a noticeable difference doing it this way vs. just flashing over whatever you have and being done with it.

Fav People panel problem

I did some searching but didn't see this one yet ...

Anyone having a problem dialing when selecting someone from the Fav People panel? I'm using 6.5 v8 ROM. When I select someone, I get these msgs on an error screen:

- "unexpected error has occurred in ATContacts.exe"

- "This is an invalid id"

- "Parameter name: id"

Everything else seems to work great. Thanks for any help!

The dialer on 6.1 is the GSM dialer, it is the CDMA dialer on 6.5

To conference call on the GSM dialer (6.1):

after dialing a number and connecting, hit the green button, you'll get a dial tone, you then have to dial in the second number you want to call (cannot use contacts, have to use the phone number buttons and punch it in). when second call picks up, hit green button a second time, and voila! - conference call a la workaround.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ernestchi:
I have two slight problems with this rom.

First, I use the phone keypad to input, and everytime i need to type it is set to ABC mode by default. Is there any way to change it to XT9 by default?

Secondly, when I use the audio manager to play my music, the music does not play when i turn off the screen and put the phone into standby. I am running S2U2.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

is any way you can do one Rom for cricket
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Nice.

But I've been on edge about the faq for the past few weeks.

People just don't read it. :/

1, read my faq.

there is a fix in there.

2, install this cab,

it changes the registry to allow music programs to keep playing music while in phone is in standby(pressing power button to turn off screen).

I have not put it into my faq yet, but will in the next day or two,

I thought I already had it in there.

I can post the registry location so you can do the edit if you'd like,

but I was going to wait to post the location till I added that to my faq.

Read my faq,

there are cricket carrier cabs and a mms&wap(internet) cab that makes both work.

not just stating me, haha, because I know I don't have everyone's name in the faq, I forget sometimes, and other times I'm in a rush and just copy down info into notepad and save it on my phone to add later on.

great rom

I love what this rom has done for my phone: it's changed a glitchy piece of crap into a smooth and speedy machine.

I love all the slipstreamed programs too: everything EXCEPT manilla 2D, I don't like how it overtakes the today screen (I really like the custom HTC home screen), and I hate how it replaced the compact soft-key menus with huge screen-hogging menus.

I was wondering if there was any way to simply remove manilla 2d (it doesn't show up in my remove programs options). If that's not possible, could somebody direct me to where I can download the "rom kitchen" application I'm always hearing about so I could do it from there (it's probably not as simple as that though, eh?).

Any help is appreciated.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ski21:
Is there a way to disable activesync. My battery keeps draining quickly less then 6-8 hours and I noticed that activesync is always on. I close it out, but in about 10-15mins it's back on. I'm running 6.5v8. Thanks

Auto Profiler

Do you guys have any good reccomendations for auto profilers that work well with WM 6.5? I am going to try G-Profile, and I have tried inesoft phone and it had a few glitches with WM 6.5 (when profiler switches to vibrate then back to ringer the incoming call stays on vibrate). Plus I like the dialer with Iconsoft phonex much better so I got rid of inesoft phone.

Anyway, thanks for all the help. Codybear I love the FAQ... it is amazing. The rom is amazing (I'm on V7 and found no reason to change). This forum is addicting. I read it for new tweaks every day.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
You can't delete it,

just uncheck at:

start>settings>today>items(tab)

and then check whatever you want to show and press ok button.

I do not recommend the rom kitchen program you were talking about if you're new to this stuff.

I've been told you can potentially brick your device if you don't know what you're doing.

But if you'd like to venture into it,

it's available at ppckitchen.org

but you won't be able to just remove the manilla 2d program from your phone's rom, you'll have to build a whole new rom.

Also, make sure you choose the right phone and operating system when you go to build the rom,

or you might as well smash your phone into pieces now.

Not to mention you won't get a rom that's as stable as the "pro" builders here on this site. They have put hours upon hours into testing and research to make their rom as fast and as stable as they have got them.

I'm currently working on one,

once I get it working good,

I might build a couple different versions depending on the total memory size of manilla 2d, if it's significant enough that it makes a difference,

I'll build a clean version with only titanium installed,

and then another clean version with titanium&manilla 2d installed for those who want manilla or both.

Fyi, when I say clean I mean it only has the essentials loaded in the rom plus whichever today plugin you'd like more.

More than likely its not the activesync program that's doing this.

I had found a fix a while back(not the one in my faq),

but it made outlook email not a possiblity on the phone.

The async fix in my faq is not working properly yet with 6.1.

I still have yet to figure out a good fix for stopping this program.

But untill then,

make sure everything is closed in the background,

Find a task manager program that actually shows all background tasks as the stock task manager does not show all process actually running on your ppc.

Also, what size battery do you have?

Also, do you constantly have a data connection(connected to internet)?

if so, that drains your battery quite fast.

Do you have email updating alot?

That right there will do it for you.

Please give details of what you do on a daily basis with your phone

so we can fix this for you.

What have you installed, what have you edited(registry, etc.)?

EDIT::

Not sure which one's are fully functional with 6.5.

I personally just have everything set on vibrate,

that way I don't have to hear the ringtones all the time,

and have them ruin my favorite songs. haha.

Plus they get annoying constantly going off,

so I'm no help with that question.

And you're welcome, other people contributed to the faq as well!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
Hey Codybear. You do know that that registry fix also fixes the problem with the lockscreen interuppting the alarms too right? Makes it a bit more functional. Now if only I can get that backlight to stop defaulting back to 10 sec. I would be fine.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
huh, never knew that.

Good to know.

Funny how a fix for one thing that was used in 6.1 works for a couple different things. lol

I'll have to add that to the faq also.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ski21:
My phone is a refurbised phone from ebay. I have the stock battery. My battery drains quick with stock rom, and any other rom I try. I tried most of them because I was hoping maybe one had some kind of battery saver. I just installed the 6.5v8 and that's it, no other programs except s2u. I use my phone only for phone calls, and PAM, which is tethered with a USB that charges. When I'm connected with PAM it actually charges the phone and this helps get me through the day. If I don't get to use PAM, my phone hardly lasts, and all I do is make phone calls, I'd say less then 60 mins worth. I don't email at all and don't use outlook, I have it on my work phone. I was thinking maybe sinced it's refurbished the battery is shot, since it drains quick with all roms including stock. I'd say without any use and within 1 hour, it's down to 72%.

Well crap, Now my screen went white. I was using it as PAM, then when I unhooked it I notice my screen was out of line. Like my soft keys were towards the middle of the page. I did a soft reset and then the screen was just all white. I did a hard reset and still all white. I put in bootload and still all white. Any suggestions. I do notice the phone is hot, it was sitting on a desk next to the window, and it's a warm sunny day here. Could it be overheated?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Yeah, with the fact that it's doing it on all the roms you've tried,

it sounds to me like you have a battery that is on it's way out.

I would recommend buying a new battery.

If you need help finding one that's cheaper,

I can try and search here a little later today, just let me know.

You're lucky I'm nice, haha, your phone's section is located here.

Haha, flash v8.

He said he's working on his touch pro rom,

so just wait till he gets done with that,

cause he said he'll update the vogue rom

after he's done with his touch pro rom.

By friday I hope to have a beta release of my rom,

hopefully,

if not it'll be next week for sure since I won't have school.

Yeah, definitely recommend screen protectors.

I go through about one a month atleast.

Without it my screen would be complete sh*t right now,

and you wouldn't be able to see anything.

And I've only had it like 5-6 months.

it was working perfectly.

What was the exact default name for the data connection on this rom?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
The 2 are both different modes. Bootloader or activesync.

When you flash a stock ROM it asks you to establish an active sync connection first.

When flashing a custom ROM it is recommended that you do it from bootloader mode. Yes, active sync will disconnect but that's ok.

There is a write up in Codybears FAQ about flashing here:

i connect the usb and it says usb...

stays at 0% for a minute and then I get a connection error 262.

im running windows seven and using windows mobile device center...

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
Change it back. :p

haha.

But first, when it prompts your for the username and password,

make sure you have the save option checked, and then hit ok/connect.

then disconnect the data.

after that reconnect and see if it asks for the username/password.

if it does, you might just have to rename it back.

I personally do not change anything with those settings,

if its not broke, don't fix it. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure why that happens though,

or the internet sharing problem...

I hope with the official release of 6.5 it will be fixed.

It does that.

Don't bother syncing,

open activesync, go to file or one of those drop down menu's,

there should be a connections option,

open that.

Inside that should have a check box to allow usb connections,

uncheck that.

Then, just put your phone into bootloader mode,

plug into usb,

once bottom of screen says usb instead of serial,

flash phone using the RomUpdateUtility.exe just like normal.

Its a waaaaaay safer way to flash.

**Read my faq for more info on stuff like this and other things aswell.**

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Nobi125:
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I changed it because it was called something like "Data Connection" or "Data_Connection," which sounded kinda plain. I changed the name to "Sprint 3G."

Checking the save password box worked like a charm. I have no idea why I didn't try that lol. :o

I think I know why people are having issues with tethering after changing the name. There are registry settings that tell the internet connection sharing utility exactly which connection to use, if you change the name of the connection, it will not refer to the right one. I remember having to specify the name when DHarvey's early ICS fix came out for the Official Sprint 6.1 rom.

Are you opening up the update utility or are you clicking the Vogue Unlocker Batch file at the bottom of the folder?

Make sure you open the batch file first (with an activesync connection going, do not go into bootloader mode) because it loads a temp SPL, then it automatically opens the update utility that will ask you to flash the 2.31SPL.
