themes that work with NFSFAN's Rom's

I can't seem to install a custom theme or skin (whatever their called) on NFSFAN's rom. I've tried it through M2DC with a zipped file and from a cab file but both times TF2D just sticks on "Tap here to Launch TouchFlo". I just want a simple blue theme on my Vogue. Any ideas to achieve that? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I've tried Poorlyduck's blue theme but can't get it to work. I've tried it though M2DC and also by just copying the files directly to the \windows folder. I love blue, I know I sound crazy but I want my Vogue to be blue all over!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] funtek:
I have this same problem. I've redownloaded the rom and reflashed a couple times (from the tri-color screen) and the rom works for awhile but after about 12-18 hours of use, something corrupts (last time it was all the start menu items disappearing). After I soft-reset it acts like it's booting, but it never gets past the first splash screen. The only way to get it to boot properly after that is a hard reset. Once hard reset, it works for a small amount of time, then corrupts again in a different way. I've never had this much trouble with a rom before... does someone have a link to 1.27 that I can use in the mean-time?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] blaudick:
Funtek

I downloaded the rom to my phone's SD card, is this what you did? I looked for the rom using File Explorer but could not see the actual file for some reason. My Phone would lock up also and then when I did a soft reset the phone would start all over with the initialization and customization like it was reinstalling itself every time I rebooted. To resolve the issue, I reformatted my SD card and reinstalled the rom via PC & USB. You might want to try this if you downloaded the rom to your actual phone and not to your PC.

This is exactly what I was having with 1.12 on my vx6900. 1.11 and below was more stable for me. I reloaded 1.11 and things are working fine as normal.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] funtek:
No, I never download the file to my SD card (my SD card is SDHC, so I can't flash from it). I always download and flash from my laptop. So I guess we're having similar problems with different causes.

I relocked my phone, flashed the stock Bell 6.1 update, unlocked and then flash 1.28 again this morning. Hopefully that'll fix the issue.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grog140:
Does anyone have this problem where your phone just becomes very sluggish for no apparent reason? I'm not sure what is being sluggish though. I have a feeling it's just Manila that's slowing down since I was able to launch and use the calculator and other windows mobile specific stuff fine. It's happened in the past and usually it corrects itself if I give it time but today it's happened twice that I had to reset it because I couldn't interact with it any longer.

A specific example of what I'm talking about would be say I want to check a text message so I slide the bottom Manila slider over to the text message section. Once I read it and try to slide on back to the home or somewhere else it just won't. So naturally I try it again and still nothing. Then out of no where it will just slide itself to a random spot as though it suddenly just not recognized my input. Then thining it's fine I try to slide it to where I actually want to go and it does the same thing over. This happens until I get fed up and reset it.

In addition I can't confirm it or not, but it seems to be happening more now that I've been using the screen rotate more to enter text with the landscape keyboard.

Can anyone confirm or deny that they have at least a vague idea of what I'm talking about? A fix would be even better ;)

Anyway, strange problem and it's getting annoying.

i know that my vogue used to slow to a crawl if it starts syncing with everything (ie. WEATHER, email, etc...)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grog140:
That might be it...today I'm realizing that there's something screwed up with my synchronization with google... Long story short is that it's not synching via activesync. And when I try to delete the server to re-add it then it just comes back right away before I re-add it. Odd...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] codybear:
lol, that's just windows mobile. :D

nah, seriously though, it can be when its all syncing at once, and manilla slows your phone way down and hogs battery/ram/etc.

Can also be how many programs you have opened at once....you may be thinking you're closing them, but they might be open in the background (not something you can see with the normal stock task manager unfortunately).

@ everyone else: I've had questions asking if I have "NFSFAN V16" rom, and I do not. Last one I personally used when I had a vogue was v12 or something like that. Does anyone have this still? It would be much appreciated!

I was looking through an old hard drive and I have every NFSFAN rom since version 1.19 (october 2008) through to 1.31, and then most of the 6.5 releases. If anyone needs a specific one let me know via PM cause I might miss it here in this thread.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hexto:
Hell yeah!!! All the Vogue development is on Android now. Unless someone figures out how to port WM7 to our phone which I highly doubt it'll ever happen there is no reason whatsoever to use this or any other WM ROM. Everything works better and nicer on Android: -)

Android

Is the Android Rom a "Generic Rom" can it be used with different carriers?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] incubus26jc:
yes generic. You dont have to flash it if you dont want to. You can have both at the same time. You can have windows mobile and run android by an exe off your sd card if you want to. Flashing does make it speedier though. I reccommend trying the sd non flashing version first to see if you like it. Once you try it, you will flash it. The build in my signiture by myn is the best for our vogue at the moment. It uses android donut 1.6, The android 2.1 builds are getting better but not quite as fast and stable yet, but they will be. Go to myns thread and give it a try. Download the classic sqsh package, put the android folder on the root of your sd card and run haret.exe thats it. If you want to flash, Download the nand version and follow instructions from the "easiest nand install guide" Its a very simple process, I'll be around if you have more questions
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dxiong:
well, I have been running Miller's WM 23544 build since he released it yesterday. That's the first non-NFSFAN ROM I tried, really love it, no more wired mic issue with such a new ROM. :)

My only problem with android is that I need to synch my contact with my exchange server. If there is any tool in android, I would love to try it out.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hexto:
Glad to see someone try other ROMs. Even when NFSFAN was still developing for the Vogue other ROMs were being cooked every week that were as good or in some cases better than his. Miller's work is really nice and so is NagROMs. Unfortunately it seems like they're the last two still developing for the Vogue

I just checked out the link on your post. Going to read that stuff. Do you have to format the SD card or can you sort of dual boot? I'll have to get a new one tomorrow if I have to actually format.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] incubus26jc:
you dont have to format, if its fat32. if not then yes you will have to. you can do a dual boot with windows mobile if you download the "classic sqsh package" from the link in my sig. put the android folder on your sd card and run haret.exe. thats it. it will take awhile to load on the first boot and its not as fast because its running on your sd card. If you actually want to flash it then download the "nand version" and follow the procedure in the link i gave you in the pm.

Has anyone had the problem that the messaging application breaks or something? Basically the sms tab in Manila says there's no messages but I know there are. And the email tab says "No accounts" when I know I have my gmail account setup.

So I try to go start -> Messaging and that just won't start. Nothing happens at all. The icon glows like it's trying but then nothing happens.

Does anyone know how I can solve this? It happened yesterday but I did a reset (pressing green, red, restart) and it worked again. It was annoying but whatever. But now it's happening again today! I'd prefer not to have to hard reset my phone every day. lol

Does anyone have any insight?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grog140:
I did the red - green soft reset pin thing. I did another reset just now because I needed sms for tonight but who knows if will stick ha ha. Wish I could pinpoint the problem.

Hmm, I could reflash I suppose. Sucks that I can't immediately check if it solved it or not though lol.

Just out of curiosity - how could reflashing solve the problem? Could it have been flashed wrong?

Thanks for the reply by the way :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] scotttr:
I had something similar with mms. After using advanced config I messed something up and had no data, also my link for manage existing connections wasn't there on the connections tab. I could add connections but not view or edit them. The connections were being added but were not visible, I couldn't use the same name twice.

I tried a hard reset, nothing.

Then I reflashed NFSFANs rom, still no link.

I had to start over and reflash the stock VZW rom then re-unlock the phone and then reload NFSFANs rom to get it working again.

If you don't find a solution and you get tired of doing periodic hard resets, it might be worth a try.

Android and tethering

Does tethering work with Android? If so, does tethering work with USB and Bluetooth? Is it tether-safe, does tethered data usage show up as "on device" data usage to the cell provider? Has anyone been stung with a tethering bill from their cell provider using Android?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
From what I understand, if you are with the $10 for internet with Bell you should be ok. Yes, the phone can tether via usb (not sure about bt, but it should be able to do it).
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
A bad flash can have "weird" consequences. You should always make sure that you hard reset right after flashing (don't even let it get past the first bootscreen), sometimes even more than once (that is what a few chefs have suggested). Good luck!

I am back to NFSFAN's rom after trying out Android.

There does not seem to be good exchange support for Android. Besides, it awkward using vogue phone's buttons on Android. I absolutely hate their unlock feature (and it's necessary because almost any key wakes the phone up). In vogue, only the power button wakes the phone up so it's not necessary to have unlock set on. The phone does not wake up as quickly as Windows Mobile. The icons appear small in Android but I mus say, the sound level can be set very high in android.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jacklad:
VZW gave me Eris for Vogue - on to Android forums i go

I recently called Verizon to ask what my warranty option were if my Vogue went bad - they initially offered me a refurb Touch Diamond as a warranty replacement because they didn't have anymore Vogues - got lucky and they couldn't find a Touch Diamond at that moment (the reviews I read on that phone were less than stellar btw), and they offered me a refurb Eris as a straight warranty exchange - no change to contract or new every two status - couldn't pass it up -

I've had a great time on this and other forums, putting the hard work of NFSFAN and many other chefs to good use - thanks to all who have been contributing to the life of the Vogue - my wife still has hers for awhile, so I'll still be checking in -

FYI - it seems that XDA has the best Android forums/developers so I won't be going far -

Thanks again to all -
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hexto:
Sounds like something went wrong with your install. I admit, the button layout is awkward at first but I got used to it in one day. The unlock works with the power button, only the power button wakes the phone up and does so as fast as Windows and so does the caller id. The icons look great as long as you use the correct resolution by choosing the right nbh.

Try it again. I recommend Myn's Warm Donut build using 240x320 resolution I also recommend flashing instead of running it off your SD card so its as fast and stable as it can be. Here are the links.

AVRCP (remote control profile)

Not sure if anyone else is still running this rom, but has anyone managed to get any bluetooth devices that use the AVRCP (remote control profile) to work with Nfsfan’s ROM (V 1.00)? I tried Vin’s rom and AVRCP controls worked perfectly, but I like the speed and stability of Nfsfan's rom, so I keep coming back.

I even tried Android (Myn’s Warm Donut RLS 3), but bluetooth was even more flakey. whenever I power off and on a bluetooth headset - either a Plantronics Explorer 320, or the Sony DR-BT22A stereo headset, they do not automatically re-connect to the phone, I have to manually re-connect them (in the Bluetooth settings on the phone, it showed as paired, but not connected). This was never and issue with Windows Mobile.

Hey guys!

Been using this ROM since it came out (or since I figured out how to load it with your help anyway ;)), but recently I've run into problems updating apps that are pre-installed in the ROM itself. Today's app I couldn't update was Microsoft MyPhone 1.6.

Is there a way to either uninstall pre-configured apps 1st to install their updated versions, or some reg hack to allow overwriting with updated versions of apps that came with the ROM?

Thanks for all your help! :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I don't think there should any problem in installing over the existing app. It should simply remove it if it conflicts. I don't believe there is any difference between cooking an app into the rom or installing it afterwards when it comes to updating. The only difference is that the app occupies space in the rom rather than your storage and also you cannot manually uninstall it. Try to soft reset the device and try to install it again, and make sure that it isn't running in the background or at startup (Go to \Windows\startup and make sure that there is no link for the app in that folder)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] zninja:
The error I get as soon as I try to install over top is (and I checked start-up, etc for links...none found):

"Microsoft MyPhone cannot be uninstalled. Would you like to continue installing Microsoft MyPhone?"

I hit "Yes", it tries to install, then gives me this error:

"Installation of myphone-1.6.2718-wm-pro-touch.cab was unsuccessful."

That was attempt #5 today.

Thoughts?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] egzthunder1:
It may be sharing components active when Windows starts up. I guess you could live with it, remove any and all files and reg entries for that program, or simply install a newer rom.
