actualy it was me not grabbing my glasses lol... i over looked it, they provide a delete button without going into the menu.

to bad about the weather thing, wish there was a simple way to uninstall it now that im running it. so far i like this rom but have noticed some random lockups and now and then it auto shuts down have not figured out whats causing it yet, could be a faulty battery. also sometimes while im doing something it flashs back to the main screen pretty fast not sure if it has something to do with the backlight turning off once i figure out what might be causing it, i might ask for help fixing it.

one question anyone else noticed that the power % seems to not read properly? battery in settings bar is always higher then if your use celetask to check it. and even that one i do not trust much.

anyone know how to change MMS settings so it does not always give me a delivery notification? i forget to remove it sometimes and i end up with 5 or more reports cause of sending it to multiple people.....

hey guys, got nrg rose remade v.17 ricky & styles

downloaded this about 2 days ago, but having one big problem. i cannot use my data (i have rogers bb data plan) but before i had flashed it, i was able to use explorer & msn. but today wasn't able to do nothing. i checked under comm-GPRS - amd i have to create a new, and same with every other options.

it there anyway i can get the info, or somehow fix it?

also, if i downgrade back to wm5, would that help?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Use connection setup ;)
[HTC Excalibur] mani87:
i didnt, but not luck. upgraded to 6.5 and everything was back in my options.

unless i didn't run something properly, but its fine now.

thanks again

napster works!!

I have to say many thanks to Ricky and Stylez for putting together this rom. I was having so many problems with the Kavana rom, it just wouldn't play my drm music in windows media player and it would crash the entire phone when I tried. So I also had problems with the t-mobile rom because it wouldn't recognize the 8 GB micro sd card I had just bought. So after much tinkering I downloaded the Rose rom by ricky and stylez and now I can sync up my phone with my napster account and it plays like a charm on the 8 GB micro sd card. Wohoo, I be jamming mon!!
[HTC Excalibur] notreally:
Can someone put \My Documents\UAContents\ in a .zip and upload it to mediafire?

I accidentally deleted it and lost the ability to create MMS.
[HTC Excalibur] kash2k7:

[HTC Excalibur] Bupahs:
ok, you talked me into it. I'll download it and see if you guys can steal me away from the Kavana ROM I've been using :cool:

[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
What do you mean small, are you trying to go with a smaller DPI?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
The way i turn off the sound on bootup and all the other silly blips is Settings\Sounds Warnings none, Question none, Exclamation none then Profile\Normal Edit System sound volume off
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
Advantages? Disadvantages?

So, what are the differences between this rom and Ricky's version of Kavana's rom?

Is there a built in weather app? Is sms threaded? Can you watch youtube videos? I would like to know before I try it out, becuase I really like what I have right now, but I am always into trying new things:)
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
If you look at the post on page 1 where you can download the ROM, it tells you all that is in it. My advice would be to give this ROM a try. Cracking ROM in my opinion :)
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
I did look at the first page, and I downloaded the .txt. file of changes. But it only told the difference between versions of this rom, and not Kavana's..

In your opinion, is it better than Ricky's version of Kavana's??
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
What i will say is that "better" would be the wrong word to use....this ROM is an advance on Rickys last ROM and because he has worked closely with Stylez on this ROM makes it look and feel alot nicer :D
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
Ok, thanks, I will take your word for it and try it out! :)
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
Nice one bud. Once you have flashed this ROM and had a look, come back and leave ya comments, but im sure your gonna enjoy :)
[HTC Excalibur] walliester:
well all i got to say is major props to all you guys for having a cool rom and spending your time for it ,thanks again .
[HTC Excalibur] thousandlegs:
Flashed and love

I flashed this rom last night. I'd been using Kavana's 6.1 and this is a nice evolution. Very good job to NRG, Ricky and Stylez. I can't donate any money right now but I can say that if I could I would because you guys put a lot of time into these roms and apps and it is greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] qaplus:
Jbed 20080813 is much better than 20080222, At least gmail app can run flawlessly. Why not integrate it into this awesome rom?
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
My view of the rom

I like the rom, but i dont think that it is as good as ricky's version of Kavana's. This is because of 1. it has a separate message pannel, instead of it being with the calls, voicemail, etc. 2. i can't find a way to set opera mini 4.1 international signed as the default browser. i dont know if either of these are under RickWayatt's control, but if they are- it would be so cool if that addition could be added. Lastly, i love the weather panel, and the music player (better than windows media player)!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Re: Messaging etc in one panel, someone else wrote this on NRG thread so thanks to them would put name but i just draged from a .txt i took of it.

For anyone like myself who likes the new "HTC Home" home screen, but likes a single noitification panel instead of 3 of them, here is a simple change to the XML for the home screen.

First connect your phone to your PC using ActiveSync.

In ActiveSync, click the [Explore] button.

Go to the "\Application Data\Home" folder

The file is called "HTCSlidingPanel.home.xml". Copy it over to your PC, and open it with a text editor.

Look for the line specifying the Plugins ...

<Plugins Order="CClock;CAppointments;CHome;HTCSMSMMS;HTCEMA IL;CWindowsLive;HTCWeather;HTCFavorite;HTCMUSIC;CW elcomeCenter;Settings" CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" SMSMMSOverride="true" EmailOverride="true" >

Note this has references to HTCSMSMMS - the panel for SMS and MMS notifications - and HTCEMAIL - the panel for EMAIL notifications.

In addition, at the end of the line you can see [SMSMMSOverride="true" EmailOverride="true"] - these are the flags to tell CHome not to display SMS/MMS/Email notifications in it's panel.

If you delete [HTCSMSMMS;HTCEMAIL;] and [SMSMMSOverride="true" EmailOverride="true"] then the CHome panel will display all the notifications as it does in the older Sliding Panel home screens.

My personal preference is also to have the Notifications above the Appointments on the home screen, so I reordered those. You can order then as you wish.

The Plugins line should now look like this ...

<Plugins Order="CClock;CHome;CAppointments;CWindowsLive;HTC Favorite;HTCMUSIC;CWelcomeCenter;Settings" CPRFileName="HTCSlidingPanel" >

Save the file on the PC, then copy it back to the phone.

Hope this helps other beginner Home Screen Hackers like myself.

Re: Opera Mini we not been able to do that and have spent many hours trying to, the core is different than the WM6.1 previous ROM so some things are not compatable.

Glad you like the ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] the-light:
im getting used to this Rom, mostly like the player...

still having problems with the wifi shortcut (e), at first it opend comm manager, but now i need to do it via settings.

any ideas?

much oblige for this rom.
[HTC Excalibur] Ryanmo5:
Has anyone else had problems with losing connectivity? I have set it to tmobile and us but every time I do and it restarts it doesn't work. Also guys may be asking the wrong person but why doesn't nrg mini weather app work on this rom? Asked nrg but he never responded. Thanks for the message panel post I appreciate it and love the updated rom guys great work!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Thanks for your comments :)

When you say losing connectivity you mean? Via EDGE GPRS?

I think NRG has updated his Mini Weather on the thread..?
[HTC Excalibur] Ryanmo5:
I mean when you are setting up connectivity to tmobile. I choose usa then tmobile and do a restart but when phone turns on and I go to connect to internet or any program that uses the internet it says I don't have connectivity. Its weird it didn't do this till today.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Not sure about this have you tryed setting up a manual connection?
[HTC Excalibur] Ryanmo5:
Yeah I have, oh well ill keep toying with it. :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
The reason it is not included is due to that you cannot use custom fonts as Opera Mini will display the wrong font and there is no work around to this "post one does have the reason why", unlike the jbed that is included, to which we updated the version that the was in the WM6.1 ROMs, so had to sacrifice the new jbed for people to be able to customize there device more. :)
[HTC Excalibur] qaplus:
What is the custom font problem? I'm still using the origional Kavana 6.1 Rom. I switched font to a custom made Chinese font called SofiaSans. Everything in Opera Mini rendered nicely with that font.
[HTC Excalibur] Quick 4:
May sound corny....

Does anyone have the sound files for the "you got message" and "you got mail." I see that they are not in version 5.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
The Rose jbed does not allow the use of customized fonts with Opera Mini without displaying a cutom font, not always does everything render nicely as you will find if you look about the forum for Opera Mini font issues, i notice your still using a Sans font, with the old jbeds you could work around this by placing #tahoma in the win dir and rebooting as Opera Mini read the first font in the Win Dir, this is not the same for Rose Jbed, the font on Opera would have been unbearable as it was reading capture it.ttf from the 5 fonts plus the original on the switch.

So we have used an update on the original jbed for this reason so as people can tweak there phone more :)
[HTC Excalibur] jonj:
Battery life

I've had reduced battery life with all the installs I've tried of Rose (both NRG and the Ricky/Stylez versions)

The ROM is great but the battery issues are keeping me from leaving it on my phone.

I've seen a smattering of others saying the same thing. I didn't have any issues with prior Kavana/Ricky builds and no issues since I've gone back....thoughts?

Keep up the great work all!
[HTC Excalibur] wreiad:
I can't find the "numerous additions". I also can't flash the rom. I get up to 3% progress and my phone restarts, and I'm told "the rom image is corrupted". It's weird because I just flashed to v1.4.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
are you running auto.bat?
[HTC Excalibur] wreiad:
What's that?
[HTC Excalibur] wreiad:
Oh so that's what's missing. Yeah it's working now. I always knew that cmd prompt window was necessary when flashing roms, but I didn't notice it when attempting to flash to v1.5. Thanks rick. I'll definitely look out for this in the future. All I need to know now is how to change the font size of the phone. When I use HTC Home, the font size is normal, but music is played by default with HTC's AudioManager. When I use the regular sliding panel media, music is back to the default Windows Media player, but the font size is bloated again. Oh and i still can't find your numerous additions.

Edit: Found help.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2473569

Still can't find those "Extras" though. Can someone point me in the right direction? Also, the menu animations are gone.
[HTC Excalibur] Cal-El:
I am also a Dash and Wing owner and It has been so long since I have flashed my Dash it took me a least 4 trys to get it! LOL! My Wing is hard slp'ed and I flash it like three times a week, way different! Nice to know I am not alone! :)
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
i personally like the HTC audio manager much much better.

i just flashed my phone with this, awesome!
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
I like it as well. One thing I don't like, though, is that I can't scroll through the songs from the home screen by simply hitting left or right while on that particular panel. :(
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
yeah i just noticed it right now too lol.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
You can if you use CMusic with WMP.. It's using HTCMusic with AudioManager that prevents the track scroll on panel.
[HTC Excalibur] sagementor:
Can anyone use Chinese Font and Input Methods with this ROM? Please tell me how. I am using Kavana's wm6.1 Chinese ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] RoachX:
Hi loving the new rom.

1 little problem however

Does anyone know how i get the text messenger, to detect numbers in incoming messages and then insert the contact into the message. Previous roms i have used do this (rickys). I dont have voicemail right now and i get missed call texts that are very useful, but not so much when i can't see the persons name.
[HTC Excalibur] wreiad:
Well then that's that. Awesome rom. I still haven't been told how to fix the font size that get bolded whenever I change the the homescreen to sliding panel media but okay.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
It's in the Slidingpanel_320x240.cpr just change from <!-- HomeHome==Clock layout templates --> all references of "Bold" to "Regular" you will then have the same standard font size as the HTC Home :)
[HTC Excalibur] wreiad:
Thank you Stylez!!

Now one last request: How do I change the font size of the menus? It's too big for my tastes. I want it to be the same default as the other roms. Also, can you show where exactly the extras are? I want to experiment!
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
The Extras are in My Tools\Extras

Here is a bit about .cpr and font postion

The .cpr's are differently named in Rose HTC Homescreens: HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr & Sliding Panel: SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr

Hope this helps.
[HTC Excalibur] 123SIT:
Long IE

Could someone point me in the direction for added the long IE setting to the Comm Manager as it was in Kavanas ROM. I really got used the this and would really appreciate some guidance. Yes I have searched the forums, google and even dumped kavanas ROM with rickys kitchen but to no avail. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] rickwyatt:
download our new rom as it has been sorted.

short press now opens celetask long press

now opens comm manager

hope this helps
[HTC Excalibur] 123SIT:
Long IE

This would help, but is there not just a reg edit I could do. I'm running 1.5 and already have opera mini installed, don't need the default browser choice, just the long press for the IE key. If there are no other changes, then I'd rather just stay with 1.5, since I've reflashed about 10 times in the past 2 days. Just getting a little lazy about getting everything back like its supposed to be. Thanks in advance.

edit: I'm just gonna reflash, but I'm still curious as to how the long ie feature comes about.
[HTC Excalibur] 123SIT:
Issues

Bluetooth not working, comm manager not showing up, phone hanging.

This is after a fresh flash. First flash didnt have bluetooth working at all. Second flash let me open comm manager, but never would let me enable bluetooth. Really wishing I woulda just stayed with 1.5, didnt have any of these issues. All for the long IE, dammit. Shoulda stayed demotivated, haha, just joking I have faith in you guys.
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
Have downloaded and flashed v1.6 No problems to speak of so far. As far as i can see all good for me. Another top notch ROM guys, well done :)
[HTC Excalibur] 123SIT:
Issues

I may have been to quick to pass judgement in my previous post. Seems as though a reflash and hard reset may have fixed my issues. I will followup and let you guys know what the deal is. Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] drifterrolly:
did something stupid, i flashed the 1.6 version, but then i restored my whole system using spb backup.

now the whole reason i installed 1.6 became useless lol, any chance you can explain how i can add on the changes you did with 1.6? ie:opera mini, default browser, and such.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
The default browser etc is built into the ROM via .ccs so the best you can do is reflash and add all your programs again, i know it's an inconvenience to have to install everything again but once done it's done, Ricky and i have flashed so many time over the last 3 weeks that it's just become second nature, i only just managed to set my device up fully last night in 3 weeks and am thurully enjoying the new ROM :)
[HTC Excalibur] LiverpoolFCfan:
User Configuration - How to start ?

A couple of questions regarding reflashing the ROM :-

1. Instructions for flashing say take out Storage Card before starting. But to my knowledge, UC requires finding a configuration file on the Storage Card in order to customize the device. Am I right in this - or did I miss something ?

2. Assuming the Storage Card is needed, can I pop it in between the flash and the device starting up for the first time? OR at the point where it first asks to press OK to restart device ?

3. If one of those methods works, can anyone point me to a starter UC file for the Excalibur - one that would set Owner Information, Regional Settings, and install a couple of apps.

Thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] jasonusmaximus:
I only know that I've flashed several times, always taking my card out, and I've never had any problems.

[HTC Excalibur] alfrjw:
Camera Album

Tried this on 1.5 to see if it worked:

1. copied back HTCAlbum.exe, HTCAlbum.exe.0409.mui, Camera Album.lnk from the saved NRG 1.3 rto \Windows

2. emptied "\My Documents\My Pictures", leaving it empty (my pics are all in \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures)

3. Launch "Camera Album"

4. SUCCESS!!

Going to retry on 1.6 as soon as I have some time to do the reflash

Hope this helps
[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
slanderous comments towards forum members will not be tolerated... this is your warning.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Should work on v1.6 aswell, if this is a surefire fix we will implement it in the next ROM :)
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
Hope that fix works for ya Stylez....as you said if it is the fix then v1.7 on the way :)
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
This seems to be a bug in ALL S740 based ROMs so far. My original one, their remake, Vox ROMs, Wings ROMs, etc The only fix I've found works EVERY time is open up Comm Manager after a fresh bootup. Just the fact that you opened it, should make everything else work fine. Don't ask me why, I still don't understand why it behaves like that sometimes...
[HTC Excalibur] torrentsite:
I have no problem at all, everything works fine for me...

Great job Ricky and Stylez!!
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
I'm sure you will encounter that bug sometime or another... :rolleyes: But yeah, great job! Woohoo!! :rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Nice I like this new version (1.6).
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Glad you like jdog only just seen your mod status this morning fair play bruv :)
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
Ummm this bug sucks...
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
You really shouldn't even notice it if you reboot and just let the phone do a full load, it doesn't happen to all...

Nothing we can do about it as NRG says it's noticed widespread with Rose. Just to add you will probably find that it doent happen after you get the first load :)
[HTC Excalibur] rma1482:

[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
home screen locking up/not displaying

I've only seen this happen with NRG's 1.3 Rose and now with the 1.5 Remake.

While using the phone one of the screens with become frozen. It completely overlaps the home screen. I can pull up Celetask using the shortcut key and end the application but the home screen is still borked. For awhile I can pull up Celetask but nothing I do will get the home screen back to normal. I then have to hold the power button down for a minute or more (literally) to have the phone shut off.

When the phone comes back up I see my wallpaper. It sits there for a bit and then I get the Windows Mobile loading animation (lil red, yellow, green, and blue circle). It spins for awhile and goes away but there are no panels. Nothing. Just the taskbar and wallpaper. I can pull up Celetask but if I were to just hit Start nothing would happen. The screen(s) will just glitch/clip. The phone seems to work fine all day and at some random point this happens. The last time it did I had to flash the phone.

It also appears that I can open Resco using a shortcut key as well and from there I can run applications but screens after that will lock up. I can only get back to celetask and Resco. I have the phone OC'd to 240 using OMAP...could that be it?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Have no idea what you have done? Have you messed with the .cpr etc or maybe installed something you shouldn't, the only thing i can say is reflash as it should not be happening and has not happened to anyone else, so it's not the ROM @ fault here...
[HTC Excalibur] l0lcats:
I only have what came with the ROM and the only other apps I use are TCPMP and DivX Player which are both on the storage card. However, neither are running when this happens. I can lock the phone and unlock it, use Resco and Celetask, and any other app. It's jut the home screen that will not load.

As for the CPRs. I edited HTCSlidingPanel_320x240.cpr. I deleted the Wireless Network line so that it doesn't show in the clock panel when connected. I also changed the position of the date and time in the clock panel and changed the font of just the time.

Date is positioned to display in the upper right of the panel adjacent to the carrier. Time is centered with a different font and a larger size. Something like 28. After that it's MyFaves which I've edited to match my five. Then comes SMSMMS, Home, Appointments, Weather, Photos, Music, Programs, and Settings.

When I flashed I noticed that both the MyFaves and Programs panels had 13+ pages. Programs had 8 pages that were all Word. I deleted those pages and ever since an hour or so ago it's been fine. Through a few reboots even.
[HTC Excalibur] walliester:
ok just one question i cant seem to remove or uninstall the weatherapp.exe is there another way to do ti ,i meant is pretty cool but it always boot up when i reboot or turn my phone on.and i don't use at all .thanks
[HTC Excalibur] chillybilly:
If you use CHome Config you can hide the weather panel. Just save your changes after :) hope that helps.
