The most awesome, by far... I only miss windows live and hotmail... I was using it as "Push" email previously.
[HTC Excalibur] mofogx:
Another issue I'm seeing, now that I'm installing gmail and opera mobile, is that the file associations for jbed and jad files are not there. How can I get jbed to install the applet automatically once I access it through internet explorer, instead of manually doing it?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Same here had to manually install, but if you have Resco or another file manager then make the file association to jbed. :)
[HTC Excalibur] register_software:
Thanks. Wifi connected but internet notworking in IE

Thanks a lot. Seems like a good rom. Using it for an hour. Had to reset couple of times and things are fine now.

Issue:

Wifi connected but internet notworking in IE

Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] Empel1960:
Has anybody be able to use the symbol key, for me pressing it shows always é cannot access the full set of symbols
[HTC Excalibur] torrentsite:
Is this nice rom also in Dutch?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Works fine for me :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Haha nice screen shot man...
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Nice one it's actually pretty tweakable once you know what the .cpr is called and also can play with the panels and location of via the .xml, taken me a couple of hours today just to find things :)

And your band from Haha for 24 hrs... :D JK "do you think u could manage it?"
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I might be able to I am not sure if I can...
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Defo some kind of BT problem... Mine disapeard again soft-reset not sorting it.

Got it working by running BTTest.exe in the Window Dir untill reboot.

When i run BTTest i get:

Error

Open BRF1: failed..

Would you like to set up??

I click yess and then it will show up in coms

For now i ahve added Hotkey
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Hmm okay. So there's definitely an issue with BT. Were you guys opening up the fancy new comm manager and turning it off and on that way ?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I just done mine via the settings panel, will try reebot and open up the fancy new one see if any difference?

Yep works through the fancy new com :)

So you could just point the settings panel com to the new fancy one...
[HTC Excalibur] scarthabest:
ok i updated to this...looks good so far..but still messaging isnt working what should i do?
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
One other thing I was wondering, would there be anyway to combine the notifications with the current home screen setup? I.E. instead of having a separate sliding panel for email/msg and one for call's missed/vm. Could we get it put into one panel for all four like Rick's ROM? Maybe there's already a way to do it and I missed it in the settings.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
There is a way, of course, but you have to edit the registry. Look under HKLM\soft\microsoft\chome\ and under the home (or clock?) panel, you'll see something about notifications.
[HTC Excalibur] showaco:
From what I've seen of the reg, its a matter of disabling the htc message panels and enabling CHome panel instead.
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
I just tried to upgrade from Ricky 24, and i followed instructions, and i got an error 260. (was on the tri color screen). but it didnt erase my previous install, so it didnt get very far.

edit

so got it installed. Will do some kinda donation when i see more progress and bug fixes.

as its early im hoping some things in rickys, or other tricks go into this:

-forgot how i got it, but when you scroll through the panels, the shrunk top panel (i.e. "tmobile time" at top when appointments panel is selected) is always at the top

-would prefer as someone else above posted, combining the missed calls, emails, txts like in rickys

-OMAP

-pocketplayer

-celetask

-the alarms section is different then rickys (only two alarms, no single screen to edit all teh alarms.

-the new panels (is cHome configurator still useful)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You're not supposed to be on the tricolor screen, so you didnt read the instructions in the black screen. Beep... Please try again... :D
[HTC Excalibur] smart1:
Great rom NRGZ28. I couldn't connect Activesync via BT though.
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
I'll see what I can turn up when I get some free time to get out and play with this again, I'll be sure to let you chaps know what I find. I just find separate panels for notifications to be redundant on my home screen.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
All you have to do is go to display settings and choose something else other than HTC Home. Try Sliding panels or Sliding panel media :) Then you'll see the "old" sliding panels you're familiar with.
[HTC Excalibur] mactron:
I found a crazy bug on my German xda cosmo with your rom. The keyboard layout when uisng opera mini seems to be azerty or something similar. Any idea how to solve this?

Which files do i have to take from the German ROM to make the Keyboard work?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Well it's not really a "bug" since this is an English only ROM, to be used on regular keyboard S620's. I dont know exactly how to fix it, but I'm going to guess you're going to need eT9.Excalibur.XXXX.kmap.txt where XXX is the code for your language. 0409 is English for example....
[HTC Excalibur] kingtaco11:
Wow this looks sick! I will surely download when all the bugs are fixed!
[HTC Excalibur] Joe USer:
Looks good and I would love to switch, but unfortunately I need MSN Messenger and Hotmail. Has anyone made any progress getting MSN working?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Ver 1.1 is coming today with a working verison of Windows Live Messenger :) Just wait a couple hours...
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
NRG, are you cooking one for the Blackjack II
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'm looking into it, but I've ran into a couple of road blocks. THe samsung is different than HTC devices and I'm afraid I might brick it, blindly trying to flash a new ROM... we'll see though.
[HTC Excalibur] blackjack2:
OMG, yep, I hear you, that's a chance I'm not going to take I guess, scary stuff
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
two problems with 1

1. the symbol button makes an é, rather then open up the symbols menu.

2. when i was entering owner information, on the phone number part, 0 isnt set up properly and you must enter alt-0.

:) looking forward to 1.1
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Yah I can't wait for a newer version of this rom to appear where it will have some of the bugs ironed out... :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
1.1 has been up for a while guys.. look in the first post.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh haha im an idiot
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
That's because the 0 key is the tab key in a word field. It's 0 in a number only field.. Not really a bug, and nothing I can do about it anyway.

The first problem, I'll have to fix. Thanks :)
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
hi nrg, I'll be on the lookout for more bugs in 1.1... great bug fixes in it already.

about the 0, as i've examined it further, its broken in other areas as well. (i.e. when entering a new contact phone number) it should default to the alt. numerals just as 1-9,+,-,(, and )

I like the new htc stuff btw!
[HTC Excalibur] goswin:
Sorry for my late reply, but I had no access to a computer this weekend. Just installed the rom. Simply fantastic. Thanks a lot, keep up the good work and yes I hope as well somebody from HTC is reading this thread.
[HTC Excalibur] hishishi:
WiFi

Wifi wont load up, click it on it thinks for a little then stays off go into connection status and it says drivers not loaded
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah, I just noticed 1.1 wont load Wifi. I have a fix and I will post an updated version today :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Thanks for that.
[HTC Excalibur] n0d:
FINAL

cuando sea rom final lo bajo:p
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
What did you just say there man?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I think he said when is the final rom coming.. but he should say it in English. This is an English speaking (or writing?) forum. :)
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Actually he said that

when

the ROM is Final, then he will download it :rolleyes:

NRG, I've installed last version and so far it's working like a charm. Very nice addition with TopBar BTW. I've found two things: one is that OMAP doesn't keep the clock after reboot, and the other is that when the camera is on and try to set options, the soft keys become blocked.

Anyway, congratulations on this amazing ROM

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
I have noticed that too with the camera and the softkeys becoming blocked.
[HTC Excalibur] kash2k7:
does windows live messger works

does windows live messger works because on the first version it wosnt on it so hope u put it in and the htc photo album has a little glich this is a cool rom like it so just keep on improvin a fix wat need to b fixeed
[HTC Excalibur] cire6:
when i run it with my pc, the result is shuting down my pc and when turn it on again some files came out, so i run the rom updater, error 207 cant flash. something is wrong with my pc or with me? :D
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
What are you guys talking about ? The camera seems fine to me. I went through all the options and evertything seems fine. Did you guys install the lastest 1.0a version ?! If so, please try this. Reboot, after bootup press the power buttona and choose commmanager. Exit the commanager. Now try the Camera.. does it work okay ?

And what is the "glitch" for HTC Album ? It seems to be working just fine on this end ?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Yah that seemed to work going to comm manager and then exiting it... :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I've noticed that too. Tricky commamanger that's for sure. Maybe I should just go back to a "default" commmanager and leave the fancy one behind. THe other one seemed to work just fine.
[HTC Excalibur] cmzeunges:
I didn't know if anyone else had this issue with 1.1a, but it doesn't seem to see my 4gb sdhc card. I believe 1.1 did, but I am not sure... Otherwise, I like it this rom.. thanks for the hard work on it!
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Worked for me

The commanager trick worked right away for me. I even reboot several times to see if it kept the config and it did. So it seems to be a one time thing and because of that I guess I'll let you keep the fancy commanager :), it's really cool.

How about the OMAP Clock not keeping changes after reboot? Can that be done?

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I know... Omapclock isnt supposed to do that. It needs omapclockset and omapclockkeep (which ARE in the ROM, in \windows). Problem is, whenever I try to run omapclockset to set the frequency, it errors out. That's why I didnt put shortcuts to it in the start menu yet.. still working on a solution. BUt if you get a chance, run it yourself and see what happens. :)
[HTC Excalibur] jonj:
Love the ROM - 2 questions/comments

Congrats on a great ROM

a) Why are my menu fonts appearing larger than normal (only option is to make them "larger" under accessibility!)

b) Why when an incoming call comes in do you not have soft keys for Ignore/Answer?
[HTC Excalibur] mjpuczko:
i just installed ricky's 080408 rom, went to gprs, set t-mobile data to epc.tmobile.com (not using proxy) and internet worked just fine. i couldn't get that to work with this ROM.

edit:

i flashed again to the 'rose' rom, no luck with using the $5.99 plan. weird.
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
I may have to flash back over to it and try again to see as well with 1.1a. I was able to get the 5.99 t-zones proxy to work with the first Rose rom . If I come up with a different result than you on 1.1a, I'll let you know.
[HTC Excalibur] mjpuczko:
righty-o. thanks. i noticed something was missing under connections:

GPRS Settings
[HTC Excalibur] sphinx780:
Hey NRG,

If I want to run the sliding panel media on Rose, would there be a way to get the HTC weather on that h/s too? I tried to make it fly with Chome Config but no luck. Not sure if it's just not possible or not so I figured I'd check with master builder :D I'm definitely no expert on this stuff so I may have just missed the easiest possible option :rolleyes:

Thanks man.
[HTC Excalibur] n0d:
I'm sorry nrg......... is that my English is very poor:(
[HTC Excalibur] mjpuczko:
ok, flashed to another ROM (ricky v24/opera) and the $5.99/tzones trick works there. flashed back to rose, no luck. oh well.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
No the 5.99 tzones hack will not work with the rose rom, i have tried with my friends phone.
[HTC Excalibur] renegadedj:
i just read this whole thread debating i want to try this rom. but you just decided for me jdogg.

its a no.

only because my wifi at home seems to be effed up and i need my laptop back from my gf so i can test it if its my phone or my network at home...
[HTC Excalibur] torrentsite:
Great rom thank's for it!

But.....the combination of FNQ is not an ! but an % and also I can't into the symbol list....:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] MrPhoni:
No more chance to use SDHC with 1.1a

Great release!

A little bit annoying that SD memory can't be used with 1.1a. If you try to insert a 4, 6 or 8 GB SDHC into your device it will not be detected. I think a lot of people still love to use their microSD with this great build.

NRGZ28 could you take a look inside this issue?
[HTC Excalibur] jeyventura:
i download it today

it looks good man keep working in it i love the htc camera album :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Oh yah the camera album is amazing... :)
[HTC Excalibur] cmzeunges:
Yeah, I tried both taking the card out and rebooting, only thing I haven't done was go back to 1.1, I think that it was recognized it in that version.. Once again, thanks for your hard work!
[HTC Excalibur] MrPhoni:
Are you sure that you didn't mean "not recognize" ?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
A version with the card bug will be posted tonight guys...its all done....I just have to uploaad it.
[HTC Excalibur] MrPhoni:
After the fix it will be definitely the best build I ever saw for Excalibur. Awesome. NRGZ28 thanks a lot!
[HTC Excalibur] MrPhoni:
It's fantastic what you are doing for XDA Developer community. Every genius has to work to show one is a genius ;-).

Thanks a lot for having a genius like you on board!

Thanks again,

MrPhoni
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
QFT

This man wins teh intarnets 4 todai
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I've mentioned before that I'm not sure how to flash the BJII safely, so I will be looking into that later. Not now though...
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
I'm really liking the sound of this ROM. When you say WM5 Storage, what do you mean? My gf has a 2GB microSD card. No, it's not High Capacity. Will the phone see it with this ROM installed?

Also neither of us use Outlook but have "Outlook" contacts and SIM contacts on our phones. I would love to back these up before flashing. I might be using her phone as a guinea pig and want to at least keep her contacts. So any recommendations on back up programs? Maybe there's something out there or here on these forums that will allow me to easily back up the contacts? Maybe more as well?

Any help is appreciated as always!
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Hey NRG, so just wondering are you going to be coming out with another version of this fairly soon, or do you feel that the 1.1 version is stable enough for now?
[HTC Excalibur] The Rotagilla:
Flashed without issue and very nice so far. Two questions and I probably overlooked the answers elsewhere...

1) I was using Kavana's 6.1 ROM and had threaded text messaging. Is this an on/off option?

2) Can I add a city to the weather panel if it is not listed?

Thanks for the help and work on the ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] cmzeunges:
Yep, thanks alot! I appreciate it!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Oh .. in case you guys didn't noticed there's a new version in the first post. 1.1B

It fixes the comm manager problems, wifi problems, as well as it now includes the SHDC drivers for your 4gig and UP microSD cards :P
[HTC Excalibur] wolfepakt:
so I played with this, and it is pretty cool, but one issue I noticed is that on the phone # entry screen in Poutlook the zero does not work..... is there a way to change that or is it a bug. (I live in an area where I must put the area code in.. plus it is wyoming where the area code is 307) I can put it in on the phone # entry screen but not poutlook??
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Are you running the latest 1.1B version ? Doesn't sound like you are...
[HTC Excalibur] dvn821:
Can I run this right away or do I have to downgrade to WM5?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
You don't have to downgrade to anything! Just install this!
[HTC Excalibur] Empel1960:
Hi NRGZ28

One bug and one question

The bug is the same with your previous ROM, when I press the symbol key I cannot access the symbol's page it just type é

The question now, is possible to install your weather application on this ROM, I tried but the 5 day panel forecast it doesn't show the info, nor the current conditions on the clock panel

Other than that your ROM rocks, thanks for your hard work
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
It IS possible to install the weather app, but it wont work. You will need some additional files. I will release those later this week in the miniweather thread :)

As far as the keyboard bug.. I'll have to look into that. I never use the symbols.. heh :D
[HTC Excalibur] dvn821:
My phone has been stuck on the HTC screen for more than 2 1/2 minute. What should I do?
[HTC Excalibur] MountainDrew:
Wait some more, it can take several minutes on first boot.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
What MountainDew said.. OR.. follow the recovery instructions in the first post :)
[HTC Excalibur] dvn821:
I like it a lot! But a vibrate on everything?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Who cares... change it to what you like. LOL :rolleyes::D
[HTC Excalibur] dvn821:
Haha, yeah but how can I change it so it won't vibrate on every single Error on the phone.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Play about with the settings.... Sounds and Profile...
[HTC Excalibur] dvn821:
Thanks. I just found it out. Sorry, I should of messed with it before I asked. But back to my problem the music on the phone still plays 2x and calls are always on speaker still.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
that sounds like a hardware problem...
[HTC Excalibur] dvn821:
Oh. Well its okay. Also no games?
[HTC Excalibur] MrPhoni:
NRGZ28, Thank you very much. Now, all of my SHDC cards are working like a charm.

Thanks again!

MrPhoni
[HTC Excalibur] nonstopvibe:
Guys where some of you had issues with your keyboard layouts & the "sym" for symbols key not working do not despair, I almost went back to another ROM but ... I "think" it's just an international keyboard layout problem. I could find no setting to change but ...

Elsewhere on this site I found & installed the UK version of the "et9FULL.cab" file & installed that on the device, now my keyboard layout is back to what a UK Excalibur should be, so just a small fix we can do ourselves.

Not sure why it's not right @ start, int he device in the Rose Rom seems to be all the different layouts just no way of selecting which you use (as with Ricky's ROM) ... Anyway it's frustrating at first but so easily fixed :)
[HTC Excalibur] mossimo53:
hey NRG...the backup wizard on kavana's rom for contacts...where can i get that because all my contacts are backed up with that...
[HTC Excalibur] miXwui:
Hi, I was wondering if there was anyway to decrease the font size, because kavana's ROM was way smaller and the font size now is too big...it's bothering me haha. And I don't want to go back to my old ROM :( I already tried going into accessibility>font size but "normal" is already bigger than the "normal" in kavana's.

Thanks.

P.S. And adding Resco Explorer would be nice ;]
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Check my sig :)

The .cpr you will want to edit is HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr
[HTC Excalibur] Billyvnilly:
I'm only getting 1 day battery, with very light usage. anyone else notice it?
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
I just flashed the new rom,I like it so far,works well. But I can't seem to find Audio Booster anymore. Will it be back? Please.
[HTC Excalibur] blcistheking:
ive noticed this also
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I removed the Audio Booster because it doesn't work with our phones. I read that the Excalibur doesn't have a hardware equalizer and only the S740 does :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I will look into this. I forget what kind of font Kavana used... anyone remember ?
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'll try to extract it from his ROM and add it to the next release. I will release it as a cab if I can, before that.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'm digging through Kavana's ROM right now... I got the "backup genius" (to backup SMSs)... BaseHue Express... etc. I will add all this stuff to the Tools folder on the start menu in my next release.
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
Symbols not appearing

For those who are having problems with an é instead of Symbols try this:

1.- Edit eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap located on Windows folder with whatever program you use (I did it trough ActiveSync and Notepad on PC). Remember just in case, to make a copy of the original one

2.- Change this line

{0xE9 0xE9 0xC1 0xC1 0xff} // Launch Camera with Fn

with this

{0xE9 0xFA 0xC1 0xC1 0xff} // Launch Camera with Fn

3.- Save changes

4.- Reboot and try open Symbols. It worked for me (this is a fix I had to do with Kavana and Rickys, I think because of international keyboard layout)

Hope this helps.

Cheers
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
If you guys don't use the Weather panel, try turning off the auto updating feature in the settings for it. It will eat your battery more...
[HTC Excalibur] germansak:
I´m having the same issue. I just realized it and now I´m paying attention to see what happens. For example, last night I let it with 100% charged and this morning I only had 55% and the only thing that happened was the alarm clock.

Could this be a ROM issue? or maybe it's time to get a new battery :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Will implement this in my next release which should be coming in a couple of hours... heh :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I left mine with 100% last night and this morning I had 87%. Seems normal to me for it to drop that much... Maybe it IS time for a new battery, I have a new one in mine :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
WM5torage is just a utility to make your phone an external "usb key". Try it in the accesories folder, after you install the ROM. As far as backing it all up, I dont know... my contacts are always backed up to my Exchange folder so I've never had to do that. Try moving all your Outlook contacts to your SIM, that way they're all on the SIM and will stay on the SIM even when you change ROMs... :)
[HTC Excalibur] goraps:
NRG this is not meant to be a slight in any way so please don't take it that way. I have installed your latest ROM 1.1B and Ricky's version as well and I find Ricky's to be more stable.

I still had Comm Manager problems in your latest ROM where it would just hang the phone and never load.

As well I still had some soft key issues where in File Explorer for example I would click the Right soft key to select the storage card and the menu button would high light but do nothing and stay high lighted like there was a down click.

I also had the phone become very unresponsive when I clicked the Welcome Center panel on the home screen. I would try to load the welcome center but it would never load. After this occurs the phone becomes very laggy and other things begin to stop working. Perhaps due to memory but I am unsure.

I hope this helps to make your ROM that much better.
[HTC Excalibur] swaney:
its keeps saying i have low memory when i have 18 mb of free space wats up with that
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I've noticed that if you open commmanager first, the right menu softkeys as well as the WelcomeCenter work fine after that. I still dont have a definite fix for this...

As far as Ricky's being more stable, I'm sure it was just a coincidence. His ROM is my ROM... with a few additions :)
[HTC Excalibur] tomiglio:
I also noticed that srs wow hd doesnt work either with this rom,says it cant find any drivers. It worked with my previous rom. :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Post #1 updated with version 1.2...
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
what been add to this new rom?
[HTC Excalibur] jonj:
Battery..

Also seeing decreased battery life and I've been alternating between two. Only noticed this since I've flashed to NRG's ROM
