Demo[95]

Your ROM is great, but you've removed default HTC's scrolling by finger (TouchFlo package?) and I don't know any other application to use for scrolling (except FTouchFlo, but it is much slower and buggy)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] greatsokol:
Russian would be usefull
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Hi greatsokol,

i've removed Touchflo as some people may not like it, other prefer other implementation. As you stated in your post there are some nice challenger :

FTouchfloSL and i also read about Touch Commander

Btw, for any translation request, i need 2 ingredients to cook it :

- A Diamond shipped ROM in the desired language.

- (Optional) an Elf(in) shipped ROM in the desired language.

So please post the link with your translation requests.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] grox:
Is it also possible to add the batterytweaks and the newest XIP and SYS??

So more tweaking and cleaning, before the translation??? In my opinion is this more important.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] greatsokol:
They are costs money both and too complicated (I need only simple scrolling by finger, nothing more).

Can you release
​

OEM\PACKAGE_Elfin_TouchFlo
​

OEM\PACKAGE_Elfin_TouchFlo_0409
​

as a separate cab? (Please :) )
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
The only battery tweak i've heard about is own by dsixda, and i don't think he has released it. But if you know where i can find it, i'll add it to the ROM.

As for the newest XIP and SYS, i know that some new versions are flying around, but to be honest i haven't took the time to search for a decent release. Would you provide me a link? :D

Sorry for the late answer;

Yep, expect them today. :cool:

[Edit] :

Here are the files. Enjoy.

Thank you!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] prevarant:
i need working network sharing cab,evrtining else is ok
[Touch GSM ROM Development] PressEsc:
this rom is great, no need to spoil it with manilla and touchflo, touchflo seems to mess up the ability to select multiple sms's and mails by sliding the with the stylus. i installed this rom, hoping that it worked like the original rom, and it did, thank you for this great rom :-)

if changes should be made then it would be cool to keep it unique and not make it like all the other roms out there.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Do you mean AdvancedNetwork Cab?

Thank you PressEcs; don't worry i'm not going to make another Manila Rom ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] prevarant:
sorry i mean internet sharing cab
[Touch GSM ROM Development] prevarant:
I find a cople in the forum but they not working with aether rom
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
I'm wondering, would that be the best ROM to maximize the amount of free RAM for programs?

I'm refurbishing my Elf to a GPS only device to put it in my car - so I need the maximum free RAM I can get to run the latest MN7 or IGO8 - nothing else needed.

My Elf is running a cooked rom I did a long time ago. I get a 24.22MB In use for Program, which with a 4MB pagepool leaves 27.5MB of free RAM.

I was wondering if this can be even better. Seems like it would with this ROM; Or is there another ROM that could be even better? I dropped the ball on the ROMs for a long time, an pointers would be most welcomed :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Sorry for the delay my friend, but here is the requested CAB.

Enjoy
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
I guess this ROM is clearly what you're looking for in term of free memory etc... Well it's the only [ONLINE] clean ROM you'll find on this forum which means it's the most uptodate one, and will be upgraded in the future.

Now i'm the cook of this ROM, so i don't like saying that it's the rom you need... so i guess you'll have to try it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
Not quite sure why, but when I try to flash this ROM I'm getting a ERROR 228: Invalid file size after the Elf rebooted and the flashing went for 2 or 4%

After that it reboots again, still works but obviously it's not the new ROM.

My device is CID unlocked, I already flashed countless ROMs. Don't know what's going on, any ideas?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
For those who love more shiny ROM, i'd like to introduce you Obsidian. This is a Manilla2D enabled flavor of AEther.

I hope you'll like it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Huum, really strange... could you try to dowload the .rar again and retry a flash?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] zeflash:
I redownloaded the FR version - same issue.

The rar decompresses fine, so it can't be a corruption problem.

From the wiki here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_RUU_Error_Codes, it seems error 228 is more a ROM issue - some invalid size set in the registry.

IPL is 1.14.0.0.2, SPL is 1.11.0.0.0

Edit:

Ah! it was the SPL. too old, it was checking the sizes of the ROMs.

in there http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=408637 it says the newest versions of the SPL doesn't check the sizes. Must be related. Anyway, now it works.

Next step, a 4MB pagepool. Gosh, I didn't remember what a mess all this was :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
When i first saw this rom i thought what is this, a clean up for my elfin??? I tried to understand what you have done and have been reading this thread with attention. Since i have the latest "touch of hd" by kwbr on my elfin i thought it couldn't get better but now i see that you have an m2d interface included and i'm seriously thinking in trying your rom but have only one issue: What is installed in this rom just the interface or also the apps that are included with it???? Keep up the good work
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Yes, that's definitively related to the SPL version.

Happy flashing :)

I'm simply trying to give you (the users) the ability to choose what you have. In the past I've been so frustrated not being abble to have the perfect rom; I mean the ROM X gave me 90% of what i wanted, and ROM Y gave me the other 10%...

Traditionnaly you have to choose the rom that fit best your likings... I want to give you the possibility to have YOUR perfect ROM... that's what I'm trying to do with AEther as a base of work.

Now Obsidian flavor, which is btw just User Customization, is an example of what you can do with AEther base. If you like you can use Obsidian as is, or customize it even more.

Now here is what you get with Obsidian :

2DManila
Album
AudioManager
CommManager
EnlargeStartMenu
GoogleMaps_compressed_2.3.0.9
IContact
LargeTitleBar
S2U2-1.40-QVGA
TaskManager

Which means a fully fonctional Manilla2D interface + IContact + S2U2

Remember that if you dislike any of this components (programs), you'll be abble to uninstall it... that's the main idea.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] heyyo1:
What benefits your ROM could give me, if I use ab.uc.dxs.14.01, which is clear, too?

I don't like to change ROMs, because of lack of clear ROMs. But this ones seems to me, that they are very resembling.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
You're right ab.uc.dxs and AEther are clean concept ROM; they are similar in their concept but similarities end here.

In fact despite ab.uc.dxs is a great ROM, it's quite a long time this project is now OFFLINE, which means it is not maintained, upgraded etc.

But even if you don't care about upgrades, by choosing AEther today you're choosing an up to date (SYS & XIP) clean ROM.

So i guess, the best thing you can do, is to try AEther :p

PS : let us know which ROM you finally chose.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
I've just release Obsidian V0.11 which fix Manilla 2D Music tab... Sorry for the inconvenience.

For Obsidian V0.1 user you can upgrade by installing DShow cab just below.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] prevarant:
great job you done
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dala11:
I really like your rom, especialy the clean part ;-)

Especially the Obsidian flavor extension, iContact, S2U2 and Manilla2D, good combo!

I've been testing your rom for a while and found a few bugs.

You've removed to much of the wifi stuff, the advanced configuration of the wireless network is missing. Allot of people use this part because in WPA/WPA2 you'll need to change the power management to max to avoid the dropping connections. (I have looked trough allot of cab/oem packages threads but I haven't been able to find that dialog seperatly)

In Manilla if you go to the settings tab, and press menu and than wireless network, nothing will hapen. This is because it would normaly open the advanced configuration.

Active Sync has issues, the first time I cradle the elfin it sometimes won't start active sync, and sometimes will but internet trough activesync will not work. If I decradle and cradle again most of these problems will go away.

I also think you removed a bit to much of the active sync part, because I miss a few configuration properties (but I can be wrong there).

The manilla album version is a bit old, because you cant use finger gestures to zoom,rotate and switch to the next photo. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=398173 here you can get the newest version)

I think you chose the best Manilla2D skin (TransTab), but I think you should change the today theme to be pure black, because the transtab theme is clearly made for black bars in the top and the bottom (look at the fades). (you can see screens of the black today screen here, I think you'll agree with me that it's a better fit)

The last thing is not really a bug, but maybe you should change the turnoff limit a little bit higher when on batteries, I got a big scare when I was installing it's ExtROM part and just turned off...

I have been looking at previous roms TESS and Onyx and I have fount the following packages which might solve the problems:

PACKAGE_Elfin_USBToPCPopUp

PACKAGE_Elfin_AdvancedNetwork 1.0.9.0

PACKAGE_Elfin_WLANSettings 2.3.0.0

I would also advise everyone to use the SD flash method, it's much safer, and faster.

You can also copy the Obsidian folders to the same SD card and after the flash is done you can reset and have obsidian installed in one go :).

So, Demo[95] keep up the good work, and I hope you understand I mean these comments in a good way, and not to disrespect your time and effort put into making this rom.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] trajraj:
Thanks

Thanks for this lite ROM

I m downloading the same n will try on My elf 100

Thanks once again
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dams74:
Very good french rom i have installed it this morning.

But I have a little problem.

In S2U2 the date is in english in my french version. I have already put the french lang.ini in s2u2 folder.

There is an other problem in alarms and calandar: the first letter of french days are in english

THx
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Don't worry i really appreciate constructives remarks like yours. Thanks.

Once again thank for your feedback

btw i attach the theme i'm using right now (Obsidian.zip). Rename it Obsidian.tsk before installing it on your ELFin
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Merci for using Obsidian flavor :)

You're right there is a tiny problem of localization in the french release.

Here is how to correct those problems

Go to Settings > System > Regional Settings and choose French.

Soft reset as requested by the system, and everything will be in french from now on.

Btw, no need to copy french lang.ini into s2u2 folder, as it's already done during install ;)

btw this will be corrected in the next release of AEther [FR].
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dams74:
thank you for the rapidity
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dala11:
Agreed, that looks better.

I will try to answer the other questions.

That was my vaguest bug, I had the feeling I was missing a active sync icon in the settings tab, but at the moment I'm not sure it was there in other roms...

Later that evening I found the cab for that too...

Damn, that is indeed a ****ed up sentence, I meant the Power -> Turn of Device if not used for. If I remember correctly they were 30s on battery and 3min on power.

I've also found a few bugs:

You've included S2U2, but renamed the cab to S2U2-1.40-QVGA which is good for version keeping but the installer also uses that name as a prefix for the configuration shortcut and the normal program shortcut in the windows\start menu\programs\su2u\. I'm not sure if it's because I have dutch localizations, but WM cuts the lnk description after the first dot. so the filenames are S2U2-1.40-QVGA-Configuration.lnk and S2U2-1.40-QVGA.lnk but you'll see only S2U2-1 and S2U2-1

One activesync bug I can reproduce (on my device). If you open activesync (either manually or by cradeling the device) and than open internet explorer. than go back to the today screen and use the taskmanager to close IE, activesync get's closed automaticly.

I've also noticed there are a few windows live stuff left, because advanced configuration is still talking about settings for windows live. The same goes for touchflo. (My guess is there are some registry keys left). Also the my documents folder can be emptied a little bit.

If you happen to have the cab for the PACKAGE_Elfin_USBToPCPopUp, that would be great too.. (Or maybe include that one in your rom).

Thanks for the time, and I'll look forward to the next rom/cab...

If only the extrom/SDConfig installation was faster... :rolleyes:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mirakle:
I installed it this afternoon on an elf (french version); so far soooooo good.

Thank you very much, I was looking forward to a ROM like this.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Vladimir.mitevski:
i just installed on my elf and i love it becase is pure, and simple, but i am upgrading to Obsidian, I still like the shine :) thanks a lot, an if you need beta tester i am here for you. i will give my feedback later. thanks again

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Great for the IPL; for the USPL it hasn't been updated as you've flashed an HardSPL, which means it is not overrideable (at least not with a simple flash).

But anyway, your phone is ready to be flashed.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dala11:
that's not so good, having a different IPL and SPL version...

you should try to get the SPL to 3.x as well, if I'm not mistaken this can only be done using the method described in the HSPL topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445666

Using SD-card flashing will not work because the 2.26 is write protected...

Has anyone used this rom with obsidian in Elf? Please post the memory usage and free in Elf. All i can see in this forum is of Elfin only. If anyone can post this info it wud be very helpful for Elf users like me to decide.

Thank you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ptitrusse:
Hi

I just installed your obsidian Rom on an elf, and I have a couple problems..

First of all the boot time is really really long, especially the part where the device is stuck with the Orange screen (first one), I don't know if this comes from the Rom itself or from the IPL/SPL, as I've upgraded it from 1.14 to 3.07 which is pretty much different I guess. (and I've changed the pagepool to 4mb)...

Next, I can't make office work. I've tried installing the whole package + the different programs seperately but I always get an error when I try to launch them. I was wondering if this wasn't coming from the fact that I installed the french version of the rom, but am trying to install office in english.. maybe it needs some language files from somewhere... do you know where to find a french office 6.1 cab or if the probleme comes from this at all?

thank you and congrats for your rom...

[edit]

@baucha : with 4mb pagepool you can run it pretty smoothly but there is very little program memory left
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dala11:
Nice update.

What is the difference between WLANSettings_40C.CAB and WLANSettings_409.CAB ?

I have 2 remarks:

You should realy change the screen sensitivity settings, you currently have values lower than the OEM default, this can seriously damage your screen.

I don't know why, but it's not possible anymore to change the background of all the manilla2d screens (the previous version I could just do it using M2DC).

Thanks for the rom again, will test your next one ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
XXX_409.CAB contains English mui files.

XXX_40C.CAB contains French mui files.

So this means you've to choose only one of this cabs, and obviously the corresponding XXX.CAB.

What make you say, i've value lower than the OEM default?

Read this and this (post 123 and 124) and you'll see that the sensivity settings is calculated during screen alignment...

Ok, to be honest, M2DC do not really correctly read and understand the HTCHomeSettings.xml (Manilla config file). In fact, as you can see in Obsidian manilla theme is working but M2DC isn't able to read it.

Why M2DC do not understand my (modified) theme? Simply because i've placed manilla file in a subdirectory of Windows? Why did i place them in a subdir? Simply because Windows is already overcrowded which make the browsing a nightmare. Moving those manilla file improve a little bit your experience.

Anyway, i guess you can still install a new theme with M2DC.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Thanks for using my ROM :)

Yes, with Obsidian it's quite long as there is more program to load during boot time.

If you think it's too long to boot, you might want to use AEther vanilla (without Obsidian enhancement)... you'll see it'll boot twice faster.

I've never tried to use English Office on a French Rom... but that might be the problem. will try to upload french one as soon as possible.

Happy to see that finally with 4mn pagepool it's pretty smooth :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dala11:
Thanks.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that. I knew the reg keys for it, but I thought they were baked in your rom.

During calibration I must have pressed to hard to try to calibrate the screen precisely.

I think it's a nice optimalization to keep the windows folder "cleaner"... So'll try to change the picture manualy ;-)

Thanks for the quick support.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] biroot:
Hi there, very nice rom!

I've seen a little bug in french version : on the calendar, the days are written in english (M T W T F S S) instead of French.

I'll report back later if i found anything else
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
If you change your regional settings to France, then the day will be written correctly. Anyway in the next release, the french regional settings will be selected by default upon installation (in the french version of the ROM).
[Touch GSM ROM Development] biroot:
Ok, thanks for the info i'll try this immediatly.

Another question, what is exactly WLANSettings.cab & it's translation? I don't see any difference in the wifi manager
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Sorry for the long time before this answer.

Anyway, WLANSettings adds the User Interface when you click on : Manilla Settings Tab > Communications > Settings > Wireless
[Touch GSM ROM Development] biroot:
Ptirusse pour changer le pagepool il faut modifier le fichier avant flash non? Si tu l'as flashé en 4mo ca serais cool que tu l'upload qq part!

Ptirusse changing the pagepool operation requiers to modify the file before flashing right? If you change the pagepool to 4mb for the french version of this great rom i'm sure a lot of people (including me) would appreciate if you could upload that somewhere!

Edit : ok i found how to do it by myself :) :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Dams74:
Your rom is nice.

I want to use Usb to Pc to select activesynch or Disk drive when i connect my elfin to Pc. I have installed MBarvian%20Opal%20USBtoPC.cab but there is no pup up when i connect to Pc. But it s OK manually

THX
[Touch GSM ROM Development] biroot:
In fact after what i read, it seem that i did not change the pagepool, since modifying the pagepool requieres to modify the Rom file.... so, can anyone flash the French Aether Rom into a 4mb pagepool? Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] biroot:
Ptirusse when i try to change the pagepool with paul's tutorial, i found some 00 00 20 00 hex value instead of 60 or 80... after reading a few docs, it seem this value is not the pagepool... so where is it? 4 more MB would be great for the Elf, sometimes programs shut down by themselves when memory is low.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] biroot:
SOOOOOOOOO! I finally manage to change the pagepool to 4mb! It's nice because with the original rom, after changing the skin, installing a few more softs, the phone was at his limit, ie sometimes the manila2D was shut down due to excessive memory usage (for instance after watching a few photos, then opening music player...)

So, for french users, here it is : Rom AEther French WM6.1 Pagepool 4mo

I hope you don't mind Demo[95], if you do i'll delete it as soon as you say it :)

Enjoy... by the way, i don't know why but i am unable to use M2DC properly ; if someone wants to use a totally black skin (like the one of the latest release of the Nike Rom by Netdrq) just erase all files starting with "HH" on the windows folder, and copy the files over! (no need to touch the htchomesetting or the weather xml)
