[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] wherestheanykey:
Thanks for the response jimitr, it provided further variables to my problem. After reading your post in prompted me to try changing my left soft key instead of right, and it turns out that I also can edit the left key without it removing the date. So now I am even more confused, why would one work and not the other. Also when I try to put my name at the top of the home screen vs. "Sprint" that also removes the date from the screen. Have you or anyone else changed the name of the home screen without it wiping the date?

Nice post jimitr, very informative and helpful. I asked for this very file a while back and got no answer.

Thanks

I figured out the volume thing, however, sometimes when I am using my phone I notice that the clock will "roll back" to an hour ago, and then update itself to the current time. It does this quite a bit, and it is pretty annoying. Any way to fix this?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
I changed my top bar once to "Jason's Phone" but didn't like it. When my phone is on it says "Bell Mobility", flight mode it says "Phone off" etc. You lose this functionality when you manualy edit the name.

I haven't tried editing the right softkey yet.

I'll give it a shot when I have time (working so I need my phone working as well right now!!!)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
No

It does this when it is updating the home tab after waking the device up, or when the mortiscript from the CDMA weather fix zips it back.

Try plugging your device in, leave the screen on (on the home tab) and watch the home tab. The animations will now be correct.

We have had 2 revisions of the newer M2D 2.0 (1914 & 1919). Both are different animals requiring newer themes etc. Doubtless there will be more. As NFSFAN said, this version of M2D is still very much Beta.

Hope that explains it.

sorry it took me so long to report back (wow this thread moves fast!)

Ok, to paint the scenario...

I am running windows 7 ultimate 32bit signature edition (the one microsoft gave away for hosting a win 7 release party)

I was able to sync the phone with no problems, it was very streamlined and auto updated the drivers from the web.

My problem was when the OEM Rom Update Utility switched into the coke bootloader mode. It dropped the USB connection and then tried to re initiate just like normal, at this time win7 downloaded a new driver. After that, the update utility stayed on the PC screen with 0%, the phone however never switched out of the coke screen, I waited for awhile, and then the phone reset with some message from the RUU saying this cannot be used with your phone (something like that, dont quote me). So I tried again a few times knowing that win7 would not have to re-download the driver, but I had the same results, phone resets, error message from RUU.

Some of the scenarios here that you guys have suggested are not valid for this case considering I was able to flash the same phone, with the same file on my XP machine. My phone was running nfsfan v16 ROM with no add ons, themes or anything. I know the download was not corrupt because what I ended up doing was sending the same file I downloaded over my network to another PC that is running Win XP and successfully flashed the same phone. For the record, I did not investigate into this problem to much because I had a feeling my XP box would have no problems flashing my phone. Do not panic, Win 7 is a great OS and I'm sure there is a way around it as some other users here have had no problems (although I heard the official retail does differ from the leaked RTM's) I just wanted to give a heads up to the forum that there is a chance of problems using Win 7

and yes I was running a custom ROM (nfsfan v16) trying to flash back to the OEM Alltel ROM

No manilla theme, touchflo won't start...

Flashed this ROM today, looks great, thanks! A couple of issues....

Touchflo will not start, it just does that repetitive tap here thing. I tried replacing the homesettings file as described few posts above, but that didn't help.

Also, I can open the manilla 2d customizer, but there are no themes, I was kind of expecting the one in the screen shots to be there. I tried downloading a theme, but when I select "add" in the customizer it does not recognize the files.

The phone works in all other repspects. Thoughts?

Not related to the ROM, but I think this program deserves a mention:

it's great if you've ever wanted to play a song but didn't want to be bothered to download it. Just search the name on groovefish. It beats the youtube app for selection.

Modified Manila Weather File

I'm not a Mortscript guy, or even a programmer, but I went through the Manila home screen weather script, the Mortscript manual and spent a lot of time in the Mortscript Examples thread. I was able to modify the script from the first post to run Manila, go to the weather tab, update the weather and then used the rest of the script to copy the registry values to the home tab.

You can set the frequency of updates to whatever you want! It's set at a half hour right now. Since the script does the updating, I turned off the Auto Update feature on the Manila Weather tab.

The script will not run if the phone is locked. I tried to get it to work when locked and I tried to make it run in the background, but I just couldn't get it to work. Perhaps someone with more Mortscript skills than I can suggest how to add these enhancements.

If you do use this script, please keep a copy of your current script just in case!

OK, firstly Win7 Signature Edition is not retail but there are different editions just like retail which version are you using (untilmate, home, etc)

Are you positive you are running in Administrative mode with your user account, can you long on as Administrator as well and if so flash from that account to test?

You can also right click on the RUU and "run as administrator" as well to see ..

Also, have you attempted to put the nbh file from the stock rom on a clean SD card and attempt to flash from the SD card as well - may be an issues with the USB timing out if its waiting on a signal but nothing coming through

just some ideas, primarily trying to help you get the flash you want on it, can work on the issues after the fact

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] voguefan:
All good now, a quite complex re-boot did the trick.

Sorry for the trouble
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ihateu3:
thank you detroit doug, but I have already flashed the phone before I even wrote the first post using an XP machine, I just wrote the post as a heads up that win7 could be problematic, but so far it seems like an isolated instance.

I did not make sure I was running as an administrator, like I said I have an XP machine so I did not pursue much troubleshooting on the win7 machine, but I do have UAC turned off and am the only account on the machine

is win7 signature edition considered OEM if its not considered retail?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
I don't have that problem here. But I downloaded this http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/home/default.aspx and installed it. Windows Live initiated and completed. Try downloading the file and installing it.

If that doesn't work hard reset and try again.

I have a Sprint HTC Touch and I loaded NFSFAN's WM6.5 v1 firmware and I can't get the data to work. I get the dialing #777 message and everything, but when I try to access the internet, it does not work. Any help would be much appreciated!

You need to turn off touchFLO in home settings, uninstall the cdma weather fix CAB, turn TouchFLO back on, and then once touchFLO is up install the CAB again.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jweaks:
Almost!

That is on the right track! When I turn FLO off and uninstall the cab I can get the FLO back, but when I reinstall the cab the FLO goes out again.

I looked at the install instructions again... I thought I set the weather city like it says to do, but I think I was in the wrong place... I don't see a weather tab in M2D at least not the thing that says M2D customizer... where is the weather tab?

Thanks!

Ok, so after playing with some 6.5.1 builds I was wondering what NFSFAN's plans are for his 6.5.1 builds. Are they going to be very similar to the 6.5 ROM's....at least in terms of included software. I really hope so. I would love to have a nearly identical ROM but just with 6.5.1, eh?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mastershak:
anyone tried this? this would be awesome if it does work right, please do keep us posted on how it working out! i would love to be able to set the frequency of the updates
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mastershak:
so does touchflo now start up with the weather cab installed? please let me know. and if so can you post exactly how you got it to work i have tried everything i can possibly list to get it to work with custom cities. i have been using my method for the fix from some pages back and it works great but requires the modded manilla2d.exe.

wait have you picked a CUSTOM city yet? or just one from the list that is there already? my issue with the weather fix was it would work okay for one of the cities already there but if i used the weather customizer to create a new city it was never able to update the new city at all and the touchflo home screen stayed on the last city i had until a reboot then it would be blank again saying to update weather.

the custom city tool is under start-system-and look a bit down to the left you will see the city editor.

thanks for any input
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
I'm with Sprint and have never had this problem, but some have reported not getting data or GPS. They had to flash back to stock and provision the phone, then flash to the custom ROM. I don't quite understand how that makes a difference, since when flashing you are wiping out all data stored on the ROM chip. But, it has seemed to work for some who have the data problem. So that makes it worth a try.

The only other thing you could try is installing this cab. It may work.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mastershak:
the dcd one was the only one the EVER work for me on sprint. but i dont use it anymore after learning to flash back to stock and simply go online for one time and let it provision it from there. the nfs one for some reason never worked for me for data.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
The instructions have been on page 1, since the ROM was posted. If people would read, instead of just downloading the ROM and installing it and then come back and post questions that have been answered over and over again, in this forum. The answer to your question has been posted at least 5 times since the new ROM was available. However, you are also looking for answers about custom cities. They have also been posted. Try "search this thread". It does work.

Here they are again:

3. For the weather to show up on the Manila2D homescreen

you have to install the CDMA Home Weather Fix.cab

found in the attachments at the end of this post. However, make

sure that you ONLY install the cab after you setup the city in the

weather tab of M2D, or else M2D will not launch.

4. To add custom cities for the weather tab on M2D, go to Start,

Settings, System, and tap on Manila2D Weather Cities Editor.

Even though you insert the proper info in the proper format, that city may not work because not every custom city is going to work.

Some have had success with custom cities, while other haven't. It's just a hit and miss. So you may have to resort to using a city closest to you that works.

Even if i search for my custom city and i find it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] pigscanfly:
Double Posted Sorry
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Masterface7:
Yes the program that searches for new cities searches the accuweather database that has every city available from the website. The HTC weather tab however Can only show weather from cities that HTC supports even though it pulls the info from accuweather. If you want to have a city's weather shown that is not supported by HTC you have to find a patched version of the m2d that you are running, which i am pretty sure the manila2d.exe patched is linked in this thread for the m2d2 v1919. But yea no one can figure out why htc doesnt support the entire accuweather database i think it is dumb.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] HDRules:
It's working perfectly for me. Updates every half hour. I just wish I could have figured out how to make it work when the phone is locked.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
That is the Bottom bar of Windows 6.5.1 Nothing to do with Manila. I'm betting you can play with the .tsk file but I haven't really tried 6.5.1 much. I flashed one of Nag's ROM's for a day while in the states and bored but it was a previous version that the bottom curtain was transparent on. All the later versions seem to be less transparent on the home screen.

Nag's ROMs were too bare bones for daily use, when NFSFAN starts releasing his beta's i'll start fooling around with it then.

Those are Titanium themes, start / menu / today and select a theme for your device, then go to the items tab and select "windows default" or "TouchFlo"

Cbaty08 answered the other part of your post.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jweaks:
Yes, everything works for me now. My problem was I did not understand the original instructions.

First, I had to uninstall the weather cab.

Then, FLO would load and I had to go to the weather tab and set a city. I set it to the closest city to me, not a custom city.

Then, I reinstalled the weather cab and everything worked!

I have not tried a custom city, but now that everything works I will give it a go.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mawst95:
Hope you don't mind a x-post with another forum less traveled by NFSFAN:

I really like this ROM (its extremely well thought out and RSShub scrolling is fixed YAY!) but it has 2 possible deal breakers for me:

1. Resco explorer keeps defaulting to tree-view, rather than the "optimized for scrolling" folder view. I've been using Resco for 1.5 years with a dozen different ROMS and never had this problem. I own, like and want to continue to use resco. Seems like this should be fixable, no?

2. I don't know if this is a bug in the ROM or a freak occurance. My phone just sent out every draft or "failed to send" text from the past 6 months. It did this spontaneously with no warning. It sent out about 20 texts to 6 different people.

What happened might require a bit more explanation. I flashed NFSFAN's rom, then I restored my text messages from PIMbackup. I assume this restored drafts and messages that had otherwise failed to send. It appears that the texts didn't immedaitely resend, but rather--and I'm making an educated guess--resent when I started to roam on the subway. This was the first time my phone went into roam with the old messages restored.

Now like I said above I've used over a dozen different roms and I am using the same software I always use and this has never happened. Its really troubling though--since some of these messages were from late night shenanigans and were probably better off not being sent.

Is there some setting built into this rom to automatically resend unsent or failed messages? Was this just an unhappy random occurance? I'm a bit freaked out now though. Its ashame because I really like this ROM otherwise.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] geomun:
**Reply for caquito07 ** regarding texts not sending

Had the same issue Caquito07 (several pages back). To resolve it, I reran the NFSFAN verizon provisioning Cab since vzw is my carrier. Did not even have to soft reset to once again be able to send texts. Issue manifested itself by allowing my device to make and receive calls and received standard SMS text messages. Just could NOT send any messages without getting the same error you stated.

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

The message(s) could not be sent.....

Hi,

I'm having problems sending messages from my phone... I'm getting an error that says: "The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again"

The same problem happened to me with wm6.1, but I found a Hot Fix from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...en&tm#filelist).

I tried installing the same Hot Fix now, but it didn't fix it.

Any help???

M2D theme questions...

oh crud... I used the M2D customizer to load a new theme... it runs, but it overlays the weather over the Home screen and it wasn't supposed to do that.

I thought I clicked the "backup theme" button in the customizer before I did this, but apparently I didn't or I didn't press "apply" or something because I can't get the default theme back.

Is there an "m2dct" file for the default theme? Or where can I find the default M2D theme files that come with this ROM so I can overwrite them directly?

Does anyone have a black theme, with voicemail or call history on the home screen, that they know works with this version of M2D?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mawst95:
I don't think that's the fix. Its a problem with the touch optimized mode not sticking. In the latest ROM (w/ Sprint Vogue) Resco 2008 defaults to tree-view. It will occasionally go back to touch optimized mode randomly, but it always starts in tree-view. Its definitely a bug that I haven't experienced with any other ROMS. Not saying its NFSFAN's fault:) Maybe its not playing nice with something cooked in the rom?

I checked over at Resco forums and there seem to be a few people with the same issue. I've been on multiple builds of 6.5 and 6.5.1 and never a glitch.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikevillarroel:
thanks.

You did not find any fix, did you?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] eric2k:
1.Resco needs to update the app to fully support 6.5. Flash back to 6.1 rom if you can not live without it, or wait for an update from Resco.

2.If you took the time to read the first post, it says do not restore text messages

Do not restore text messages and then you will be golden.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] tempests:
I would not call it a bug but rather an incompatibility, because Reso is older than these new ROMs. Maybe you should go back to one of those multiple builds.;)

Regarding text messages, if you choose to restore your text messages and emails, all messages and emails that were backed up but not sent, will be sent again. I usually make a backup right before flashing. This way I have the most current backup to work with.

THATS MY POINT... it will work with normal cities fine i have said this MANY TIMES. i have tried over 20 custom cities and NOT ONE WORKS you keep telling me to follow directions. it should be made CLEAR that NOT EVERY custom city will work then!!!

i did follow directions EXACTLY. they simply dont work. myself as MANY others have said the same. YES it works with the already entered cities listed. not for customs. again im not the only one...i dont mean to sound rude but stop telling me to follow directions then decide to say well it may not work with all custom cities that is the whole point....

anyway the way i posted back pages works PERFECT EVERY TIME. no matter custom city or not

Data stays connected forever

I have what seems to be major issue with data connection - it never disconnects, or rarely. I have found that is has stayed connected for hours and hours with nothing running that uses data - neither the home screen weather or the weather tab is set to auto update - I have two email addresses - both are set to check every two hours -

I read somewhere that if you set the data to disconnect after a certain time it can affect the ability to answers incoming calls while using a data program (like google maps) - is this true? Any ideas of a safe way to stop data connection?
