M2D Theme and G-Profile

If you all are like me, you know that a Touch running an NFSFAN ROM is a Touch at its sexiest potential. That understood, here are two upgrading suggestions for you to consider now and that NFSFAN (if you're reading this) may like to include in future releases:

The distinguished black formal of M2D themes: JKOTZE's New HTC Theme

G-Profile: This now has a "quick-change" feature so you can quickly switch to fully programmable sound/data profiles on the fly via a pop-up menu. Tip: I made one of my softkeys on M2D mapped to "qs.exe" (the pop-up menu).

Well, check it or leave it. Just wanted to share with the elite touch users out there (a.k.a. anyone running NFSFAN's ROM)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
Thanks Natefish,

that website is interesting, for themes personally I have been waiting for Twolf to publicaly release this one:

Paired with a diamond style diamond clock, this theme will be awesome!!

Is that theme QVGA or VGA
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
QVGA

There aren't too many themes compatable with footprints yet, but that's one.

Prior to footprints I used a few of Jkotze's themes

I've been quite absent for the past week or two, I know. I was a bit busy with other work. However I've started work on 1.29, and well so far I have a few points worthy of mentioning.

*Added Encryption Filter back (should fix Exchange Server ->mencfilt)

*Added Device Encryption Policy back (should fix Exchange Server)

*Added CacheFilter back (speed up file caching)

*Virtual Memory Setup in RAM (8MB through cache filter)

*Preload Cache during Boot

*Enabled Cache WriteBack

*Removed InfraRed Communications Driver (Vogue--> NO IR)

*Updated ObexInbox

*Modified M2D Theme

Hey NFSFAN your roms have been awesome, keep up the great work.

Now for my problem, i am on telus so i'm using your telus 1.05 rom and have been trying to connect my touch to my pc using activesync via bluetooth. When i go into activesync and select "connect via bluetooth" i always get a message that says

"Bluetooth Activesync - Cannot find an existing partership with a PC that supports Activesync. Would you like to set up a partnership now? [YES][NO]"

Now i have already gone into the bluetooth setting and added the PC as a new device, i went into the partership setting and selected ActiveSync as a service for that device, and set up the new outgoing port.

No matter what I do it keeps giving me the same msg in activesync when trying to connect via BT, i tried removing all the devices setting for the BT and setting it up starting from the PC end and end up with the same msg, i've done each about 4 times with no luck...

I've never had a problem connecting my touch via BT, and I can also sync my HTC s730 to the PC with absolutely no issues so it's not on the PC end so it's something with the ROM... any ideas?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
No, its not something with the ROM. It works fine for me. Search for your computer from the phone, then add it via your BT Stack.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] spikiex3:
Thanks for the help i just figured it out.. it was just being really stubborn for some reason.. i went and uncheck activesync as a service for the pc saved it then went back and checked it again, saved it and finally its working.. :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
In regards to the Cachefilter, I've disabled it, because it affected read/write transfer rates negatively. I've re-routed it through the entire file system in order to allow it to only control access handles, byte range locking and sharing, for the entire system.

Also in regards to the exchange server, I've been able to get the encryption filter to self-provision the device, assigning it a DeviceGUID. Therefore I assume this will thoroughly fix the errors on tight security with some exchange servers.

Cheers, NFSFAN

Hi NFSFAN, needs your help please

Hi NFSFAN,

My Bell touch has been stuck at blue Bell screen after I tried to soft reset the phone, and the computer connection is unable to recognize the phone for re-flashing. How do I go about re-flashing the phone?

Thanks.

Bell HTC Touch

Put it in bootloader mode and reflash.

any idea if the automatic sound setting actually works? the one that is supposed to put your phone on vibrate when you're busy? i have it set to that, but when i'm in a meeting, the speaker icon doesn't change. i haven't received a text/call during a meeting, so i don't know if it actually works.

I've seen a *lot* of users having this issue, primarily with Bell phones... is this isolated to bell, or does anyone on verizon and sprint have this happen?

Could it be related to the increased pagepool, or is there some other filesystem driver that isn't recovering from a failure properly?

Is it related to bad blocks on the internal flash rom (newer devices with cheap nand)?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bigjohn_S:
did you install the sprint picture mail cab? only works for sprint, but works great.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Hey all

I have 2 of these phones (both on Sprint) and mine is close to a year old as well as my wifes is only about 3 months and yes there is a hardware difference although other phones have had similar issues with this and other ROMs and most seem to be of recent build dates obtained either recently by the user or replaced via insurance by Sprint/Asurion

Having ran this ROM for some time (and just about all others at some point or another either for evaluation/review purposes or testing for daily use on my phone directly) and having just upgraded my wifes phone last week there is a noticeable difference in the 2 in regards to speed, delays and the common 1/2 second stoppages/hangs in apps/OS, etc where mine seems to handle custom ROMs without issue i.e. better built with earlier, better hardware (yeah me!!! LOL)

I did attempt to alter the page pool but was unable to as it stated it could not find or was invalid or encrypted (if memory serves NFSFAN encrypted it), so I was unable to test changing that to eliminate the possibility that the increase in PP could be causing an issue and dropping it to say 16 or 20 to confirm this rather than the 24PP I believe he currently has this set at (correct me if it is different, trying to remember what you stated in a previous post the PP was NFSFAN)

Personally, I can understand the encryption and have no use in needing it otherwise and can understand wanting to protect ones work on a custom ROM, but if it were possible to open up the changing of the PP that would be a HUGE benefit for those of us wanting to alter that feature for various reasons and testing as well

thanks

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Detroit_Doug:
Are you already on Sprint? are you on another carrier?

If you are a Sprint user and Ill assume youve been downloading and running the Sprint ROM available here I would agree with the other answer to installed the Picture mail cab and try that

not letting the customizations run or running the DCD carrier cabs wouldnt be a needed step as it is a Sprint ROM and the customization are doing the setup/config and the carrier cab from DCD would be a redundancy that would not be helpful

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Old faithful:
Well this certainly would seem to be the case with mine, as after flashing to 1.27 I lost the ability ot revert to the OEM carrier EXE (RUU error 328) and almost wasn't even able to reflash using the SD card method, and was experiencing loss of EPST data such as "date activated" which cannot be edited.

Now what caused the problem, I don't know, but your cheap nand flash memory theory would certainly be the most logical explanation, it's the only logical reason I could come up with after my phone failed after just a few flashes.

Maybe Bell got a bad batch of phones with defective memory...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
I've got almost 2 years left on my contract for the Vogue, I'm hoping to get a little more use out of the old girl. In that way I agree fully with NFSFAN, he shouldn't buy a new phone!!!

There has always been talk of the elusive "Iphone killer". It's too bad HTC is skimping on the hardware, I think the software is getting there. Screen resolution will now be better than the Iphone.

Here's some interesting specs:

Vogue: 2.8" screen 101mm H x 59.6mm W x 14.1mm thick

Touch pro2: 3.6" screen 116mm H x 59.2mm W x 17.25mm thick

Iphone 2.0: 3.5" screen 115.5mm H x 62.1mm W x 12.3mm thick

So, for an extra 4.95mm you get an awesome sliding keyboard. Hopefully the Touchpro3 will pony up on the hardware specs and we will have a phone with the processor muscle of the psp. The FM radio is cool, but I'm very dissapointed that HTC didn't decide to make the 3.5mm headphone jack of the blackstone standard. Here at XDA we can pimp out our phones software wise, but will always be limited to what HTC decides to selectively put in for hardware.

Till then, I hope NFSFAN is as happy with his Vogue as we all are, and doesn't get a job where his company buys him a new phone every 6 months! His ROMS allow us to have most of the functions of the new phones without paying $$$$$ every few months to keep up.

Keep up the great work NF, it's greatly appreciated.

restart igo8, ur gps should lock within seconds outside..

with TTS on 8.3.2, i was able to get it to work, but it was soooooo slow that my phone was not usable at all, even a touch on any button took a minute to respond.

No GPS on newest NFSFAN rom for Vogue

I know that Thermus posted a fix for the Verizon/GPS problem on this ROM, and please excuse my newbie-ness, but I was unable to a) Locate all the files needed for his fix and b) Not that sure of the process - I'm totally willing to do the work, and I'm not (too) lazy, but is there another method to get the Verizon GPS working? I tried the "shortcut" posted on another site and applied a Verizon DCD cab, but no go. GPS worked for me with the previous VZW upgrade to 6.1 plus the Valhalla fix.

Thanks for listening. NFSFAN's rom is awesome in all other aspects - getting this to work would be the icing a very cool cake!

Thanks to all who can help me!

Thanks I will try it out and report back.

TTS works fine for me, no lag, no stuttering (which I have experienced with TTS and 8.0.0x)

There are specific 8.3 TTS files, are you using those? The 8.0 TTS doesnt work with 8.3

EDIT

Still have the same problem even after adding those lines to sys.txt.

igo8 opens but freezes, will open respond after i press the power button, even then it will only move to the next screen, then i will have to press the power button again, and again and again.

works perfectly with astro through...

Since, I was the one who posted this issue recently I thought I'd reply to this.

While I can't quote on anyone else' phone, my issue was a bad download.

Whenever I tried to downgrade to the stock Bell rom 3.0.9.666.1, it kept ending successfully but no changes were made. its recommended (sometimes ?) to downgrade to the base rom before upgrading to the latest...

Anyway, nfsfan's rom are rock solid, dependable and down right awesome. As an example, I've had a constant data connection for 23 hours and 55 minutes and still have a 83% charge on my battery. Response time is awesome and I've haven't a single issue (/w 1.28 Bell).

nfsfan, yu rock.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
I'll have to put the ROMs on hold for a while. I have to get another HDD on my laptop, since the one I have now is almost dead (making loud whirring noises). I'm in the process of backing up most of my data right now. If anyone would like to contribute to helping me get a new HDD, I'd greatly appreciate it. Before I had my ROMs on my desktop for a bit, but then I had to get another PSU on that, so I transferred all the ROM stuff to my laptop. Now the laptop is broken. :(

This is the one I'm planning to get. It is reliable, faster and warranty is 5 years :)

just make sure that in your settings --> connections --> external GPS has the same com port and baud rate as what u have in your sys.txt

Potential Bug (Unconfirmed): I haven't been able to reproduce this, but today I attempted to enable Bluetooth on my phone through the Comm Manager and it kept refreshing the page but simply wouldn't enable. Once I did a soft reset and tried again, it was working fine again. This is a low priority bug that I've yet to reproduce, but just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else has experienced anything similar.

Change to Soft Key

Hi there, I installed this ROM after I upgraded the radio to 3.42.50 from Bell even if I have a Telus but I did everything as said on a tutorial about it.

So far everything is working wonderfully.

First: My problem is that my Right Soft Key is having the Camera instead of Programs... I don't know how come it is this way. When I go in M2DCustomizer it let me select a specific program, but what I want is the same option as it is supposed to be... Showing all the programs... How can I change this to be like that.

Second: The footprints widget is something new for me, how do I setup some stuff in it? In the HTCFootprint Dir there is 2 Dir which are "thumbnails" & "voices" but both are empty. What can I put in there and where do I find those? Is there a tutorial to set it up?

Thanks...

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thermus:
Ok, so yyour first issue has been discussed 500,000 times in this thread and not to mention all the other threads that have discussed this too. Please read through the post and find it. I would link you to the post but I myself dont remember where it is. Your second issue. The footprints tab, just go to it click the add button, take the picture when the camera opens, when it show the preview of the picture click the back arrow if your happy with it. After that it will show a screen with the screen shot and five buttons underneath. click the tack to tack the picture to google maps, click the paper note to adjust settings and so on from there. Dont be afraid to just click buttons and test what each does.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] margosmark:
In terms of footprints I dont know what you mean by set up, essentially all you do is used the widget to take pictures and the program in the background associates a GPS location for it. Pretty much lets you for example take a picture of a restaurant you went to, gets the gps location and later on you can go oh look i like this place, and since you mapped to to a gps location you can easily navigate to it again. Here watch a video on it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
"First: My problem is that my Right Soft Key is having the Camera instead of Programs"

Yeah, this has been discussed alot, but it's the way HTC seems to be making Manila nowadays, even TF3D. Go to the HTC Europe homepage and check out the new diamond 2 and Touch Pro 2........look at the screen shots.....the soft keys are Phone and camera respectively.

I preferred programs myself because it was a quick way to navigate to the last tab without doing the big thumb swipe. I guess pressing the camera button to activate the camera was too much of a nuisance for a bunch of customers. The sqweaky wheel gets the grease, if you don't like it complain to HTC and maybe a future version of Manila will revert back.

Cheers everyone,
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] GadgetFreak:
Yeah, but if memory serves, wasn't it revealed at MWC that HTC has the 'Start' menu button programed to open the programs function in TF3D

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rzawora:
You can actually rip this ROM and bring it into PPC Kitchen to make your own ROM. Anyone that wants instructions PM me... not very hard to release the lock NFSFAN put on it... Sorry to NFSFAN but I don't really agree with putting locks on nothing you really created yourself but a package...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] NFSFAN:
Well thats great, doubt you released any lock... Even if you did, the dump wouldn't be re-cookable FYI. So instead of making up crap, just don't say anything.:mad:

EDIT: Doubt anyone here would agree with you.

EDIT 2: Let me explain to you why it isn't possible to re-cook the dump you get, even if you do bypass the imgfs protection. Firstly, there will be no rgu or dsms left in the dump. Secondly even if you did sub in other dsms from another system per-say, you could only allocate for some of the SYS ones, but none from the OEM dir. Sure you will get the SYS, partly without the proper registry, but none of the packages. Then you wouldn't be able to recook any of the modules, because the imageinfo is reduced, in turn it won't re-locate properly, nor could you convert them back to file form.

Therefore the conclusion for today's class results to be: Yes, you can dump the ROM once you get past the IMGFS protection, but NO, you can't recook it. But you may be thinking right now... heck I got the dump, I can do w/e I want and make my own ROM, WRONG. Besides the images, exe + dll (from SYS), you can't really do anything with the dump. Unless you would like to borrow some images, and create a new album for yourself... IMO kind of pointless what you are trying to achieve my friend.

I hope this is a sufficient explanation for you and everyone there who may be wondering. I am really looking forward to you posting these instructions on how to rip my ROM.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rzawora:
I'll leave that for those that choose to reply and those that walk away. Though we will walk away with a great ROM thanks to you... don't get me wrong...
