Look amazing man, great job on Miniweather.
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Rock on. Can't wait!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's in in there now.. in the second post. Check it out... see how it works.. keep in mind I didnt really FULLY test it yet, I just kind of threw it together for now :)
[HTC Excalibur] jbmatson:
I've just upgraded to version 1.3, and I've found that I have to press Alt-0 to type a 0 in a phone number field in contacts.

It seems to work ok in other fields, like the to field of a text message.

Is there a fix for this?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will fix this later (if it's even possible).. but for now, you can live with it.. right ? :)
[HTC Excalibur] jbmatson:
Yeah, it's not a big problem since I figured out I needed to use Alt.

Last night i had to take down someones number on a piece of paper because I couldn't get 0 to work, which was a bit embarassing. hehe

Thanks for making the ROM though. It's pretty cool so far. I hope you'll keep up the good work.

I'm glad I chose a dash... it's really improved heaps since I first upgraded from WM5.0!
[HTC Excalibur] jbmatson:
I don't know if you noticed this as well, but in text fields both 0 and Alt-0 produce a 0, there doesn't appear to be a way of typing a tab.

Not a big problem for me either, but you might want to know...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah I noticed... I'm working on it as we speak. It's weird though, because the layout is exactly how TMobile and Rogers have it setup in their ROMs. I'll mess around with et9.excalibur.0409.kmap.txt file some more and see what I can come up with...:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] kash2k7:
can this version sync by bluetooth

can it sync by bluetooth really hopin sooo like the other version so far keep up the gud wrk n luking forward for WM 6.1 PRo :) i will wait for rose rom 1.4 before i try any thing more:D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah.. I cant get it to work. The ONLY I can make it do is type a 0 in a number field WITHOUT having to push the ALT key. I cant get it to a "tab" though... sorry :/
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
I reloaded the Tmobile version of 6.0 and checked out the keymap...its identical. So I tried it...same deal. Tmobile never mapped the Tab key either

edit...verified on the official HTC 6.0 rom as well, tab does not work
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
NRG...i haven't flashed the new one yet...going to flash it anyways but just wanting to know...did u put that sim manager that kavana had in his rom? that would be a great tool to have in the phone!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah, I know... so I dont know what do about this "problem" anymore. I guess I will just leave it the way it is for now...
[HTC Excalibur] aznwannabe358:
Great work, my favorite rom so far! keep up the good work, we all appreciate it!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
:)... he is amazing at creating ROMS :)
[HTC Excalibur] tomdot:
and perhaps start working on cooking the BJII ROM based on S740? I have both an Excalibur and a BJII and this Rose ROM is the best I've used! Thank you Thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] tuantuti:
thanks alot mactron

mactron, u r my hero. megaupload is the best. download complete. im gonna install ROM tonite and report tomorrow. thank you so much :D:p.

NRG, u rocks. keep up the good work.
[HTC Excalibur] ygb:
The Tegic eT9 US English Keyboard Fix works for this rom also to fix the zero and symbol keys. Just reboot after installing.

Strange thing happened (twice) that my call, end, and pwer keys just disabled. I couldnt make or end a call and had to remove battery to restarrt. Could not pinpoint exactly when and why this happened.

Thanks NRG- You are very appreciated!
[HTC Excalibur] jeanpiere:
i've been using the attached fixed since ROM v 1.2 n it works perfectly on the dash i have, even the tab work!!!
[HTC Excalibur] cire6:
hope that NRG will not stop doing things like this!!!

youre been a big help, keep it up... :)

thank you, sir!
[HTC Excalibur] mactron:
NP since i got 100 Mbits/s Upload it was fun for me ;)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Thanks for that file man...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
So before I go try to put these new files in the ROM, did you experience the lockup before or AFTER you installed this Tegic cab ?
[HTC Excalibur] tuantuti:
my impression after 15 mins of installing: very smooth, the effects are attractive. havent test voice quality. keyboard mapping is fine (now i understand the tab problem, but not big deal for me)

i can suggest to include Resco Explorer and SMS pack for your next fix NRG. this would make the ROM perfect. these two softs (in my opinion) are essentials to beginner users like me :D.

In all other aspects, its a great ROM. fast and attractive. well donw. my appreciation to you. :D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The voice quality should be the same... the main drivers are still older and take from WM6.0 (as there's no official 6.1 ROMs for our phones)..

Glad you like it :)
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
What rom are you coming from that has a working tab key? I will load it on my phone and grab the keymap, I want to see what they did as none of the roms (HTC, Tmobile) that I have tested have a working tab button
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Will my 8GB SDHC card be recognized by the phone with this ROM installed?
[HTC Excalibur] tommytutone:
yep. my 8gb sdhc works great.
[HTC Excalibur] jhunkab:
I have the keymap that works perfect, including the tab key. I had taken it from one of the forum here, after I installed Kavana/Ricky's ROM, as their ROMs did not have good key-map for US T-mobile DASH.
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
crud...that keymap is identical to the ones I have tried as well. The tab function must be somewhere else? (kind of like how the dialer on tmobile works, alphanumeric)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
gospeed.racer is right... This keymap is the one included in my ROM already. What I think the "problem" is ... some of the .dll's associated with eT9 are different than what's in older ROMs. I'll see if I can play around with them.
[HTC Excalibur] tuantuti:
i have installed the T9 Keymap cab file found on this forum and it fixed the problem with the tab key. install the cab file, reboot your phone, and voila. i have tested during composing a message and the tab works fine. also when i tried to input the reg code for some softs, the 0 key works fine as well (without holding alt key). i will go home tonite and attach the cab file for all to try.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Awesome.

10char
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Thanks man for doing that, can you PM me the cab as well when you get this done please.
[HTC Excalibur] dewey1973:
Thanks for the great work NRG.

The WiFi in your ROM has been more reliable than any other ROM I have used. Usually I have to disconnect and reconnect from my home WiFi every 10 minutes or so. With your ROM, my first attempt online lasted 30 minutes without a single hiccup. AWESOME!

Am I the only Dash user that likes MS's voice command? I know it eats some resources. Is that why you chose not to include it? Does anyone have a link to install it post flash?

Thanks again!
[HTC Excalibur] tuantuti:
here you go. sorry its so late. i just got home from work and upload it rite away.

i installed the cab, rebooted the phone, opened a new message, hold Alt +Space to kick start the input method menu, choose ABC instead of T9, and tested the 0 button. it worked. thats everything i did. good luck all:D
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
I'm setting up applaunchers and dialers with CHome but when I view them on the home screen the icons are uber tiny....what can I do to change that? I had used CHome with Kavana's and did not have this occur.

Also, is there a way I can get SMS, MMS, and EMAIL plus missed calls and voicemail back into one sliding panel?

Oh, and HTC Photo Album is flipping out. Just keeps spazzing on one image. However, there are over 150 pictars on my storage card...is that it's way of saying I'm trying to load previews of each? I can't move the selection from the first image as it always snaps back.
[HTC Excalibur] tuantuti:
i installed NRG Rose ROM v1.3. the tab key works fine now as i commented earlier. good luck.

to NRG: thanks alot. i love my dash again now :D

also, does anyone know how to reroute the HTC Album to show pictures on the storage card. i cant seem to configure this. thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] akurit:
i also wondered about rerouting the htc album and so far the rom seems pretty smooth and i really like it...heres to the craziest rom out there for the dash!
[HTC Excalibur] tarascaassoc:
I've been running the 1.3 ROM an it is very stable. I install the T9 cab and that is stable and fixes the keyboard perfectly. The encryption setting still doesn't work yet but maybe I'm the only one who uses that. Java apps are still a little wierd, too (just annoying, no crashes). Could anyone confirm this with their favorite Java app?

Excellent work on this ROM development!
[HTC Excalibur] vukashin:
I'm sorry if I'm spoiling the fun :) but when I tried to install this ROM, installation started and at about 3% it said that the app is corrupted and it canceled the installation. I tried to download again install app, but it reported corrupted application again. What am I doing wrong?

P.S. I've followed all the steps mentioned in first post on this thread.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
I'm setting up applaunchers and dialers with CHome but when I view them on the home screen the icons are uber tiny....what can I do to change that? I had used CHome with Kavana's and did not have this occur.

[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Also the icons in the CHome config panels i create are SMALL pluse the dialer doesn't work! I made my myfavs panel as I had with my install of chome config on Kavana's and it says that "dialer" cannot be found!

Please push an update to correct these issues as fast as you can!

these too:

Volume adjust does not work in Audio Manager

HTC Photo Album: Change where it points to? Cannot move from first image, constantly flickering

Zero '0' does not work in some text fields

THERE'S NO NOTEPAD WITH THIS ROM!!! QUICKNOTES CANNOT OPEN .CPR FILES!!!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
If you don't like it, DONT'T use it and use Kavana's! Don't tell me what I *NEED* to do and stop shouting! Thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
:( Fail. Sorry but you're going to have to change this "don't like it, don't use it" attitude. All you will do is push people to those other roms. I never said I didn't like the rom so take your words and shove them down your own throat. I am helping you by adding things to the bugs/does not work list. You can help me and others by providing solutions or fixes. Don't like it? Take the ROM down, remove the thread, and go somewhere else.
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
wait, your telling the person that is building the rom to go elsewhere? Dude you need to relax! Its one thing to tell him about the bugs, but to demand that things are pushed out as fast as he can- seriously? Can you go tell Google to fix all the loose ends on the G1 too while your at it:rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
also, the flickering icon in the photo album was already discussed (by me) and I found that if you delete the two flickering pics in the album it will work just fine. Use explorer to find them, not the photo album. It will be obvious which ones are the problem.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Well that makes sense now that you clarify it....the photo flickering is a personal photo taken on a vacation. You had mentioned deleting the stock images that loaded with the ROM which I had done. Voila, confusion.

Me calm down? lol I wasn't cracking the whip and saying work work work! I expect the releases to come out when they are done. It's just I see this "don't like it don't use it" attitude from NRG a lot and it's like hey now, simmer the f*ck down before you drive everyone away.

I'm fine with the small icons, they've grown on me. But rather than acting like a fool NRG could say oh yeah the icon sizes are set in this .dll or on this line of the .cpr. Dude needs to take a step back and change his approach to support requests...
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
You realize that NRG is doing this in his free time and doesn't have to offer it to anybody, right? I'd be frustrated too if I willingly put in all this time and effort to build something and many people don't even say thanks, they just say 'fix this or do this cuz this sucks'...people could show a little respect for dude and just ask him if he wants to make such and such a change and report a bug. If I were him, I'd probably tell people to piss off and just do my own thing. I'm thankful NRG has shown more patience than that IMHO.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
No bearing whatsoever. Don't want the attention don't open the door.

To add further:

The Camera settings are glitched. The d-pad barely navigates through the panels and the cursor, if you will, flies back and forth uncontrollably. I figured I'd set the camera up and change the sharpness, contrast, resolution, etc. Turn off the shutter sound whathaveyou and found the experience to be quite painful.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's simple... don't like it... don't use it. Nobody's forcing you to do anything you don't want to do, and that includes flashing a new ROM. I don't have to support you in ANY way. Not with THAT attitude...
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
BUG NOT FIXED CAMERA ALBUM STILL HAS LOADING BUG
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
No need to SHOUT. What do you mean by "loading bug" ? It loads and displays pictures just fine !?
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
sorry:o what i mean is when you open album it loads all the pictures fine but you can't press up down lift right the selecter all ways go back to the frist picture
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well it works just fine for me and I havent had any compaints about it... Are you sure you didnt load some funky keymap file on your device and that's why its doing it ?
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Damn I can´t wait to get home to install it!! I´m sooo anxious. BTW NRG, I know it´s too early since you probably have a lot of work on fixing stuff, but if you plan on translate your ROM into other languages (if it´s doable of course) consider me to help you on the Spanish version.

I'll post you some feedback this afternoon and congrats on a ROM that I´m sure will become a must have on our Excaliburs

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Thank you. I dont have too much work ahead of me, it works pretty well so far. I even ported the nice dialer to my blackjack. I will provide a cab for the update dialer to be used on other devices later :)

I will be able to translate it to other languges as I have .mui files for several languages. But that will probably be a project for later... :)
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
Is there a way to get the top bar transparent? And what happened to application launcher? is there a way to get that back as well? Anyway the rom is awesome,totally rocks !
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
The top bar IS transparent... maybe try a different background. And what is the "application launcher" ?!
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
application launcher is that panel where you can put some of the applications.Another thing,how do i remove getting started? tried removing it through the home screen but doesbnt seem to work
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I dont know what you're talking about with the application launcher, but you have to remember this is a STOCK OEM ROM, not your customized ROM you had before :) And I was able to remove the getting started panel just fine, by going to the last page and clicking "Remove Getting started" :) So I dont know what you're doing wrong...
[HTC Excalibur] nhung:
I think tomiglio means the sliding panel application launcher.

I have not install the ROM, so I do not know if it has the CHome Configurator. If it does, use it to add your applications. If it does not, install it and add your applications.
[HTC Excalibur] the-light:
well done nrgz

thought u where joking about making a new rom..

do u got an hebrew .mui?
[HTC Excalibur] n0d:
h

:p VAMOS A PROBAR EL MEW ROM BY NRG A VER SI ESTA CHULO LO BAJO AHORA MISMO

:(PLEASE EXCUSE ME SPANISH I AN DOMINICAN Y LIVING IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:o
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Ok, so far it's working really smooth and nice. The only thing I've found (I don't know if it's a bug) is that windows media player doesn't reflect what's playing on homescreen.

Other than that I think it's really awesome ROM. I'm gonna wait installing my fav apps (Pocket Media Player, SmartToolkit) to see if you come to a solution on Windows Live issue.

Suggestion: Why isn't Rinku/NRG Iconbar embedded in the ROM. I think most of us have it installed and it's really cool.

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Ok, I was dinking around with the ROM....nice and smooth.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic but figure it might help a few of us if we screw up with this.

Then I played the roll of idiot and hit the wrong back-up replacement from SPB, leaving me with no ability to connect to activesync.

So, here's my newbie question of the day. I can get to the tricolor bootloader screen per NRG's instructions but need to know how to reflash to either rose or rickwyatt's ROM at this point. Try running the updater but am getting the 270 error but right now have no way to get the app unlock on to my phone. Maybe I'm missing something but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Update: 3rd Hard Reset got me back to 'rose' so I'm good.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Next time that happens and you're in the tricolor screen, go download one of the offficial ROMs for your device. Say you have a TMobile Dash for example, you'll go download the official TMobile US WM6 rom. Then you'll be able to flash your ROM and activesync. Then, you can flash back to rickys, kavana's or mine :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It's not supposed to. I believe that panel is supposed to reflect what's playing in HTC's own Audio Manager. I believe there's a settings somewhere for it, but I dont recall where now....

Keep in mind with is ROM you can always revert to the microsoft sliding panels, by going to screen settings..... and have it look like does on Kavanas' :)
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
NRG...why dun u work for HTC?? i think all of us would put in a pretty good word for ya. appreciate the new rom...have yet to be on a computer where i have admin rights to flash the rom but from the looks and sound of it...badass!!
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
NRG..why dun ya work for HTC?? i think everybody here would put in a good word for ya. cant wait to get this new rom on my phone...have yet to be on a comp with admin rights...from the looks and sound of it...badass!!
[HTC Excalibur] jrronimo:
ooOOooo, I've been waiting!

What version of Java is installed?

How much free RAM after a reboot?
[HTC Excalibur] DMC78:
Hey guys just installed my first ROM ever and am loving how much better my dash is. Thanks for your work NRG! The only issue I am having is that my activesync won't work. I have tried reinstalling it, but still am not getting anything. It connects but I can't "explore" the device or anything. Any pointers? I have looked through the forums but haven't been able to find anything so far. I am trying to sync it through the USB. Thanks for any help.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Epic Fail. Get out then. Oh, and on your way go ahead and stick this "L" right to your forehead.
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racer:
I have not had any activesync problems, but since this is your first rom have you made sure you have the newest activesync installed? you need to be on 4.5
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
He probably just needs a to do a reboot... Activesync can be weird like that sometimes.
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
Hey NRG, did you ever try 96.dpi on your Rose?

Another exciting thing I've tried is the Tasks panel support (its very buggy on rose, but I think its very buggy on everything)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I cant say that I did... I dont imagine it would work "out of the box" though. A lot of things are different about the system files in this ROM...
[HTC Excalibur] iamanalog:
NRG, im probably blind but how do i disable weatherupdateservice... i have 1.3 running and i would think i wouldnt need it to start...
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
I think that you have to enter to the forecast of HTC Weather -> go to menu -> options -> uncheck "Download weather data automatically"

That should do it

Hope it helped
[HTC Excalibur] Knightofhearts:
Great ROM. Its very stable and everything works for me. Quick question is there a way to put MS voice command on this? I know it was included in other ROMs and I was wondering how I can put it on this one.
[HTC Excalibur] DMC78:
I have uninstalled activesync and reset the computer and phone many times. I can get it to connect for a second or so and then it drops. Never syncing. I finally was able to copy over my pim software which it was briefly connected but thats it. Never had issues with this before. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
[HTC Excalibur] DMC78:
The craziest part is that once I get it to connect once (which is very brief before it drops). I have to reset the computer and phone for it to recognize the phone again.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Are you running the version 1.3?
[HTC Excalibur] DMC78:
yes, and I am running Activesync 4.5. I am trying it again, and changing the USB cable, even though I doubt thats it since it has worked fine until i changed the ROM. I really want to make this work, is such an improvement over the Tmobile garbage.
[HTC Excalibur] shawnterry987654321:
Battery

Has anyone else noticed a shorter battery life? I flashed v1.3 two days ago and yesterday I noticed my battery was at 50% when i got home after only touching it for a 10 min call. Wi-fi and bt turned off. I just checked it and its at 69% after 3 hours off the charger with no use at all.
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
that might be a problem with ur battery...mine is having about the same battery life or maybe a lil better than kavana's...too small of a change to tell.

the only problem i have had so far is that when i plug in my headphones i get no sound but if i take them out the speakerphone plays the music....am pretty sure it is not my headphones but then again i can be wrong. fyi it does show an icon in the topbar indicating that my headphones are plugged in...sooo it could be my headphones but just wanting to check if anyone else had that problem. thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] goraps:
Settings --> Connections --> USB to PC --> Uncheck Enabled advanced network functionality
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
when navigating through images on the storage card (click on image to view larger) hitting left takes you forward in the images ( IMG_123 > 124 > and so on) and hitting right takes you back through the images (IMG_124 > 123 > and so on). This should be reversed so that left goes back through the images and right goes forward.
[HTC Excalibur] DMC78:
goraps you the man!!! Thanks for the help. It worked like a champ!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Not something you or I can change. It's the way HTC programmed that particular application.

You guys have to keep in mind that I didn't program this ROM. I don't have control over every single application in it and how it behaves (and this isn't reffering to THIS instance, I'm talking in general). All a ROM cook does (that's me...) is put files together to form a ROM. So if you encounter a bug, or something doesn't work the way you want it to, there's not much I can but look into it to see if *I* did something wrong. Other than that... we're ALL s**t out of luck pretty much.
[HTC Excalibur] goraps:
No problem, I have had it happen many times after flashing my phone with a new rom. That option is always checked by default.
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
Just to clarify further, this isn't the HTC Photo Album. I can't get that thing to work. I'm just talking about hitting all photos from home, menu > folders > storage card. Open an image hit left to see the next one up and right to hit the previous...
