I tried to flash this rom 4 times, only succeeding on the fourth and final attempt. Kept apparently losing connection part way through the flash with RRU.

Very odd, not experienced that before. Either way, worked in the end, just a little warning on the off-chance anyone else has a similar thing happen.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bimsdae:
I'm missing the beautiful pictures from opal in new ROM...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] davidwhitney:
Finally configured my install. Very smooth after the eventful flashing. Installed on an Elf, default everything, 13mb/13mb free after boot / a few bits of software. Runs very nicely at 72% memory utilisation most of the time.

Thanks :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I will add these as a seperate download then.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I can't believe it's the rom. I flashed it so many times now and never had problems. What errror messages did you get?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] seferismo:
shhhhhsssksskskskskksksksskskssk... what a waste!!!

good ROM

Hi kwabbernootje,

I've tried your 2.0 full and found this ROM is good, fast and no obvious butter finger symptom but I just have some suggestions for your reference :

a. when start the ROM, the windows icon is in the top middle instead of in the left right corner of the screen. This may not be a problem, but just looks a little bit strange.

b. Error message shows up when trying to install Avavnce config 3.3.

c. No keylock option in the setting tab.

d. in order to save some memory space, I suggest you can remove the rainning animation photos in the weather tab.

e. After change the registry table, the week day still cannot be shown in the home tab. This is realted to the M2D.exe that you use.

f. Suggest to add some often used software such as PSSHUTXP, Total Command and ADVANCE CONFIG. Of course you can leave it for users to install afterwards.

Hope this message is useful for you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] davidwhitney:
Yeah I came to the same conclusion. It was likely just an unfortunate coincidence.

It was an RRU message (I'm paraphrasing) about losing connection to the USB device. Whilst that's a possibility, it's extremely unlikely that it was anything to do with the cable / interface. It could well have been something incidental on my system at the time (I have a bunch of USB hard drives so a busy bus could've been the root cause...). It "lost connection" at about 7% on the first attempt, 30ish% second attempt 99% on the third attempt and completed successfully on the fourth.

I suspect it's nothing to worry about, but I figured I'd leave a note on the off chance that it's an issue with the ROM.

Either way, very happy with it now.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] liho19:
I flash from SD to ELF0IMG .Rom's you I am very satisfied. s2u2 set the VolumControl problems, not to modify anything! So when I replace the HTCVolumControl.dll in Windows with a blank file with the same name(thanks disxda): volum return to the default, no adjustment problems! You may have to decide later ROM this(Too little memory, the top of the screen to boot strange).

Thank.

Because of, amongst others, these kind of reactions i retire. There will be no further update of this rom available.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
don't give up so easily, keep going mate :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] davidwhitney:
Ah that's a shame, you're on to a good thing here...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
You're right htctouchp. The thing is, guys like seferismo spoil the forum and really have no idea how much effort it costs in starting and developing a good rom. But hey, it says the most about the person himself.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
What is this ****, the guy is asking time to finish what he is doing.

If you think cooking a rom is like pushing the TV remote button then you live in a fantasy.

The rom cooks here are wasting their time and leaving their family for your pleasure.

So please show some respect and appreciation for the hard work they do for you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] shafez:
Don't let those kind of people depress you and push you off the road to your target.

Please continue.

Thank you and best regards
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Techie87:
He is right :) keep going on mate :) you're doing a great job!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
kwabbernootje, only a response then you quit ???? Don't be so easy to give up. As I said your ROM is good although some area need to fine tune, and if you read the thread of this forum, it's normal and happens everyday that the users may complain or criticize to the chef for this and that. But the problem is how you react.

Many users are just asking or complaining without checking FAQ or searching the answer before ask, because most of them are lazy, and I guess this is called human-nature. But Some of them are also trying to find the real problems and report to the chef for solution. So my suggestion for you is just to keep a normal and peaceful mind for all of the post, no matter it's criticizing or not.

The real world is somebody will be happy and somebody won't, and nobody can change that. So why do you make those unhappy thing to disturb your mood ?;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
that's right bro ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] alhuang69:
Same comments here............
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bimsdae:
do not remove like rainanimation or add like PSSHUTXP, Total Command and ADVANCE CONFIG!

It should be a clean official ROM!

if you need this apps you can install them afterwards!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
why dont you get a life!!! ignoramus!!!

this aint some candy store you can jus drop by and say whatever you feel is right!!!

cos you wont come anywhere near the intelligence and patience of cooks like John and others here who are dedicating their time for people who havent lost their screws unlike you!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Thanks for your comments. They are most welcome.

I will look in to that. However i consider it a nice to have.

I think it has to do with CF3.5. I can update the current version to a 3.5 release.

It is there. But hTC does not use the old version we are accustomed to. I will update it to restore the old keylock.

The idea behind this rom is to keep it as close to the original rom as possible. I think I will keep the animated icons in.

Can you be more specific?

The idea behind this rom is to keep it as close to the original rom as possible. So it up to the user what to install additional. This way you can also install everything to the storage card.

It sure is. Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ayyu3m:
the start menu showing up in the middle at boot up can be corrected by replacing services.exe which is found in SYS\OS folder

you can use one from an earlier ELF(in) build, but dont use the one from the Opal as it has this problem or "trick" too :D

but this does make the services.exe an older version!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] !Aman!:
no, u don't have to use that from ELF's old build. using from 19591/19588 etc is also fine.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] a.fontenele:
Maaaaan!!! I simply dug this ROM!!! It's awesome! TouchFLo is working perfectly... I loved it!!! Very light although I'm using the full one! I like to have free space on the device memory... Now I'm really excited to become a chef too and do such a great job as you did... :D

About the complaint... WHAT A PRICK!!! This jackass doesn't know what it takes to do all you did and he's is such a looser he won't even try because doesn't have the balls and the brain to do it!!! All your effort will be acknowledged only by those who think about this... Sorry for my language, but I just hate these kind of people...

I've been looking for a ROM like yours for some time now, as close to the original as possible and with no unnecessary files and applications that are there just sitting and using the cpu... That's why I liked yours so much...

Honestly I loved it and I'm looking foward to your next release with some updates like .NETFRAME 3.5, GoogleMaps 2.2.0.20... LOL... Just teasing you man!!! Although these are some of the things I miss on my device now, I know you know what to do to improve even more this great ROM...

Thanks, and again man, CONGRATZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
What I means is in some ROMs, I can chnage the registry table to add the week day (Sunday, Minday, Tuesday....) into the home tab, (\HKLM\nls\overrides\...), but with some ROM's, it's useless evan you change the registry table. And as I know that relates to the version of M2D.exe.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] spacejam:
Here the same...

Any fix ?

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I am sorry but i still don't understand. The week day in de M2D tab? You a tab like Home, People, Weather? I have never seen it before. If you mean the date in de upper left corner (above the clock), it is hardcoded. I can't change that.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] spacejam:
I mean...

change the date format on top in the Home page: es. from "nov 19, 2008" to "Wednesday 19 November 2008"

this is related to HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte key !!

really strange, in some roms works and not in others, sure is due to Manila 2d exe or XML file
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Ah, in that case, it is hardcoded in m2d.exe. Sorry i can't change that one for you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] spacejam:
Thanks anyway...

Great job!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Thanks for the tip! I will try this.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I updated Arwen to version 0.3 and it has NetCF3.5 in there. It is running very smooth so far. I tried the latest Google Maps but it gave me some problems when running. I have to find that one out once I have more time to test because I have to make the cab into an oem package.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] a.fontenele:
Greaaat!!! I'm already downloading it... LOL!!!

Thanks a lot bro!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
Very nice rom, this is my first rom i tried on my touch and so far after 24h nothing to report.............. Can you please tell me how to fix the dictionary of t9 i want it to be in portuguese but can't find it here or anywhere else:o

Don't mind what people say keep up the very good work because of guys like you the touch and other devices are still up to date and sometimes netter than newer ones.......
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
I've installed v0.3 and found sometime the software will be closed suddenly without any reason. It seems this symptoms happens also in some ROMs, but obviously this is a problem for user.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
This could be a memory problem (shortage). Are you using an Elf?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
No, I am using ELFIN.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Ok, the only thing I updated in the latest version is NetCF3.5. Did you have the problem before this update? Indeed a lot of roms suffer the same problem ... and they all use NetCF3.5.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
I am not quite sure if it also happens in 0.2v. But I suspect it may relate to the "buffer finger" issue ????:confused:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] madsurfer1:
Try to install the EzInput T9 Portuguese dictonary in Development and Hacking, and see if it works on that Opal Keyboard.

Windows Media Player

Please could you change the version of Windows Media Player to 10.3 Build 19971, like the one in R2 Opal Rom Port. This will play MP4 video. Thank You.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
No that one is patched already from the beginning.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Last 0.3 release contained NetCF3.5 on request. Upcoming (full) release will have the latest Google Maps, version 2.2.0.20.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Thanks,

Lovely ROM, but virtually unusable due to memory problems on ELF. Even without anything installed, just the ROM itself, 'out of memory' prevents the device from doing pretty much anything. Have nothing to close, no programs running and 'out of memory' message popping up every few seconds. Will definitely give it another shot when lighter version will become available.

Great effort regardless. Thank You muchly. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
Before i posted my problem here i had already tried it, installed first the keyboard cab but my touch doesn't install it, after i tried the portuguese language pack but didn't work either:o maybe a language cab to include with the other dictionaries for this rom??????
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hazeline:
Just flashed, testing it now

Thx!, Trying on my Elf now ^^

I do see a improvement in the rom, before this rom i was using Opal Port Rom R2 lite.

It is much faster, however, it eats a bit more programme memory thats all. Thx!, i will looking forward to your full rom ^^

Opps, i think u forgotten to remove the games folder. I am using your lite version

Extra Information:

Elf free memory after flashing: 37.57

Elf free programme memory: around 19.XX plus minus.( without Touchflo)

Elf free programme memory: around 15.XX plus minus.(with Touchflo)

Again Thx! Keep Up the GOOD WORK!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] a.fontenele:
MAAAAANNN!!!! I LIKED IT FREAKING MUCH!!!!

Even better than the other one...

Just a question though, is the Windows Media Player working well on your device? Cuz it's not playing WM videos on mine... Do u know why??? I've already hard reset my device and nothing changed...

Thanks a lot man!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I know, working on that one. A new release will be out tonight witj several improvements ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I will include international keyboard (ezInput) support but first there are some other things that need my attention. Maybe this weekend.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I know and I will look in to that. The thing is I want to do a lot of things and there is just a lack of time. Come back in a week I would say and try again ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
It is gone in 0.4 lite which is ready for download.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I stayed with build 19972, but Arwen v0.4 plays MP4 just fine now.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
This version 0.4 is stable and fast, but still has the problem that software may shut down suddenly without any reason when I read the ebook.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] enigma1nz:
:)

Take all the time you need :) I love the look and feel of this ROM, so you are definitely on the right track. Will check the upgrades regularly. Bestest wishes.

I have no idea. What version of dsixda's ppc are you using? Maybe you can update to the latest version that supports the latest roms. I can cook new roms with a default PP 4MB for Elf if you want.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] liho19:
If there are many people like pp4mb.Thank.

Because memory is low, should I use with Universal pp4mb Page Pool Changer - for Elf / Elfin ONLY here:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2274573&postcount=2

Rom other uses Universal Page Pool Changer - for Elf / Elfin only, use device_info (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2544399&postcount=1) have the correct information! (Arwen for ELF (in) v0.4 less accurate).Missing something!

Hi liho, I will adjust the default pp to 4MB for upcoming releases then. Did you succeed in changing the PP from the default 8MB to 4MB?

By the way, I am very interested how this rom runs on Elf with PP set to 4MB. Can you tell me what your experience is (fast enough, will programs close all of a sudden)?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] liho19:
I will see to and information. Thank you.

ITS BEEN A WHILE i changed PP to 4 MB till now i must say am quite happy but didnt get much time to actually notice the performance,,, will check tonight..but am not using 0.4..right now i have 0.3 installed on my cell...

Your rom is perfect to me.

I'm using your rom v0.2, I'll wait for 1.0 or something to flash, it's too painful to me install all the software that I use.

May i know why the page pool size must be lowered to 4mb? With a 8mb page pool i thought it would be faster?

I tried several Manila2D roms on my ELF, but all of them suffer too much of low memory. I tried yours Arwen 1.0 and I found excellent. It's the only one that runs smooth on my 64Mb ELF. I used the "full" version of the rom, not the lite one.

I just want to thank you for your effort.
