Phoenix 2.10 released

Have update and posted the links for released version of Phoenix 2.10 on first page.

See the first post for list of bug fixes.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] hispano68:
thanks!! i'm downloading it
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] obsydian:
Thanks downloading now and will feedback later.

i have installed v2.10 and till now (2-3 hours of testing) i have no problems to report!! everything i have tried is working flawlessly... for once more time, rling u have done a great job!!! :))

My first question... in this rom, i can't find the task manager that was included in previous versions... is that so?

can u please tell me which task manager were u using so i can install now?

Thanks!!!!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Have not changed Task Manager, and I'm still using the Task Manager from Jade. It can be found under Settings>System.

Great job with this ROM. Big thanks again! :)

V2.10 16Key

Want to try, but 4Shared blocked by provider, Rapidshare sometimes works, sometimes not (when file is larger than 50 mb). :confused:

Please upload to mediafire, when you can. :)

Thanks.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 369011:
Ok.

Then it seems that i am looking for something different..

In previous version (1.13) a program was included in the rom (you could even create a short-cut and put it in the PROGRAMS (M2DC) page just by selecting it) that could provide info about which programs were running, the % load of cpu and had the option to end all tasks at once.. don't quite remember its name, but i think it was like 'task manager'...

and another hint.... the icon of the program was like a (black-green) screen of an oscillator...i hope that helps!

Thanks!!!

(my post is highly scientific...)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Just checked the packages for V1.13. Task Manager has not changed. Only 2 program removed - Slick and Skype. Slick does have the icon you described - two yellow dots joined by a wiggly line between. However, Slick is definitely not a task manager.

Total Commander could do a lot of what's required - it is a file manager alternative which I used daily on my PC (and to lesser extent phone)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Uploaded as requested
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 369011:
Thanks for your time rling.

Though, as u said, slick isn't a task manager. I'm very curious right now, as i was using that program in v1.13 to check applications running and to end tasks!!! (of course without having installed any other task managers).

I think i'll revert back to v1.13 to get a screenshot and some info and return later to v2.10

Thanks!!!

So far so good, only issue appears to be a return of the BT issue, whereby in my car it connects, but will not disconnect so thinks its linked to the headset, even when i'm away from the car.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
It's not directly ROM related but:

Does anyone have problems with too loud talk volume?

When some people call me (not everyone) they speak too loud, I can hear it 3 meters from the phone. And I'm not sure the phone remembers the volume setting. Every time I try to lower it, it's on the highest setting. Can anyone confirm that?

Rling, do you know where this talk volume setting is in the registry ?

edit:

OK. The reg key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneVolume. Every time I start a new call it maxed out (255 ).

edit2:

Sometimes those values resets sometimes not. I have to watch it for longer time, maybe.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 369011:
..............
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Registry:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume

The key for voice cvolume is titled volume. with value FFFFFFFF (hex) as max, and going down. Set it at 99999999 (hex) for a lower volume.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
On first pairing to BT device, it will ask if you want to make it default car kit. Say no, and you should avoid this problem.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 369011:
rling, i installed again v1.13 to get some screenshots from the task manager i am talking about.

Some info...

version installed 1.13

16key

I have only installed SpbScreenshot so as to get the screenshots.

Of course task manager was there before installation of SpbScreenshot.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
That's got me stumped. Will flash the old ROM and have a look. Will report back.

Edit: Searched and finally foundit. Its a utility by DotFred, called TskManager, version 3.1. You can download it directly from dotfred's website:

http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

In re building of the kitchen for Phoenix 2.0, this utility was omitted. Will add it back to next build (if need be)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 369011:
Ok Great rling!

i installed TskManager by dotfred.. it's working fine.. though it's a bit different from the one in v1.13 -this is much more sophisticated, with more functions.

still this is not a problem; i could just be an older version.

Keep up the good work!!!!

Thanks! :)

I was doing a battery drain tests for a week :) Sometimes I have 10-15% battery usage per 18 hours, sometimes it's 20% per 12 hours. In exactly the same conditions (I even put the phone in the same place every time). I thought G-Profile or Sliding Actions was the cause but tonight I was testing without G-P and SA and battery dropped 20% in less than 12 hours. Quick chech in task monitor showed me that HTC Album was running in background and it constantly used 0.10 - 0.50 % of CPU. It's not much but maybe it doesn't let a full sleep to the phone?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Wezternator:
Battery life

Hi,

What is the battery life like when using this ROM? I used to use LILLY but found it would drop about 2-3% battery from playing 1 song O.O

Iplay music alot from my phone(about 4-6hours a day) would this ROM be ok for that?:confused:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
More important than ROM is what software are you using to play music (except if you're using WMP then different ROMs could have different versions of WMP). Try the Nitrogen player- it has a low CPU usage.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Wezternator:
I normally use the HTC Audio manager. But if i use this ROM i would use the one built into manilla (i think its in manilla, last time it was one of the buttons along the bottom)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Try the built in TCPMP player.

Do remember to turn off the bluetooth when not using it. I've found that to be the biggest drain on power.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
HTC Album is for viewing/taking photos I think :) Not for listening to music :)

Of course I have BT disabled.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Depends. The built in Album player would give similar power usage. The built in TCPMP uses less power. If you use a set of bluetooth headphones, then battery drain would be significantly higher.

I've been happy with this XIP/SYS's power usage - it's the best one I could find.

Sir,

How to disable the auto disconnect for extended GPRS in Phoenix ROM ver 2.10.

Thank you..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Of course :o Wonder what triggered its activation?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
I know why it was in a tasks list but I wonder why it constantly takes CPU time, when it should be inactive. And I wonder if other-older versions of HTC Album have this "issue" too? :)

HELP

I bought a phone HTC Touch Dual (Niki 100) and software are in Italian, what ROM I should do or what to hand in English language

Phone: HTC Touch Dual

ROM version 1.31.408.09

ROM Date 10/30/07

Radio version 1.58.16.27

Protocol 25.61.30.03H

External ROM version 1.31.408.8601

Please tell me if it can be just the thing to do (steps) you have to download the order to be followed.

Forgiveness for the errors of writing I do not know good English

Thanks in advance

Sincerely Robert
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
That's too formal! :p

It's a registry setting. I've set it for 5 minutes. Current default:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]

"CacheTime"=dword:0000012c

You can change it for longer (entering the values in hex)

You can also disable it by deleting this line from registry:

"SuspendResume"="GPRS_bye_if_device_off"

The phone would not disconnect once it connects for any reason, causing excessive battery drain, if you forget to manually disconnect.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Don't quite follow. If you just want an English ROM, make sure you have a phone that is not locked to a phone provider (ie CID unlocked). Once that is done, then you can flash any of the official HTC WWE ROMs.

If you want the phone to run Itlaian, have a look at one of the other custom ROMs, eg Lilly's

Phoenix 2.11 released

Just posted the links for Phoenix 2.11 on 4Shared.

Minor update. Changes made for improved speed - SD card access and transfers.

Added FDCSoft Task Manager 3.1

Now to work on Phoenix 3 (Topaz XIP/SYS)...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
Nice :) Thank you!

Can you tell me how to change the PROGRAMS list to default? I mean 3 items in a row. It scrolls smoother than 4.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
That can be done in M2DC. Just scroll the bottom tabs to launcher, and you can specify the numbers of columns and rows. I've left it at 5x3 as many skins have not been done properly. and the icons overlap in this formation.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
No, I mean the Windows programs list - not Manilla's.

edit: OK. Thanks :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
That's a registry change. From settings>Advanced Config>User interface. Change horizontal icon spacing to a number larger than the default 56. Windows will adapt accordingly.

No, not aware of Yota contacts.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to back up words in T9 - must be in a dictionary somewhere.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Difference between 2.20 and 2.30 is not all that significant - just a different XIP/SYS combination - one taken off Topaz, the other off Rhodium. Rhodium is a cleaner build, but does swell the ROM to its limits.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
Thanks for answers.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Mano75:
Yes, indeed. In your PDA's Windows folder, save these 2 files somewhere else: eT9Cdb.Cdb and eT9Rudb.Rdb

In every new flashing, just add them to your Windows Directory.

Cheers!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
There is one thing I don't like in this ROM.

In threaded SMS you have to manually "visit" every SMS to make it marked as read. In older builds when you came to a thread or when you sent a message all SMSes were marked read.

Is this adjustable or it depends on SYS build?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
You can disable threaded SMS with SMS Tweaker in Settings.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
You misunderstood me, maybe my english is not so good :)

I don't want to disable threaded SMS. In older builds I haven't got to manually "visit" each SMS to mark it as read. It was done autmatically (when a thread is opened or SMS in this thread is sent). You haven't noticed this?

Eg. I'm recieving 3 sms at once (from a single person). When I click Reply only the last one is marked as read. It still shows me I have 2 new sms. In older build all 3 sms was marker read (because they are in the same thread so I see them all at once).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
I've disabled threaded sms on mine. Will look into it.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Phoenix 2.30 released.

Ported 21040 from Rhodium.

I have my suspicion whether this (21040) is a real build. The build numbers for all SYS is too even (all 21040), and it was missing the bluetooth files. Nevertheless, it is stable and fast.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] ajeevlal:

Battery Problem

Hi Guys,

In my experience with this ROM, my HTC Touch Dual should charge everyday

cause of the battery drain so fast.

Did anybody feel like mine?

Thank you
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
I have higher battery drain too. Since 1.11 or 2.0 version (don't remember exactly).

It may be a new Manilla from Iolite. I'll try to disable Manila tonight and test the drain without it.

BUG: Setting a different Manila theme in M2DC doesn't set new background wallpaper. Yoda stays :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
I made sure the battery consumption is not too high. On minimal use (a few calls and playing games) it drains around 15-20% over 10 hours. Overnight standby was around the 10-15%.

Which radio are you using? Drain was very high with 1.65.29.22 Try 1.65.28.25.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Oops. That's my doing. I've changed M2D to use .jpg instead of .png for background as a test before changing the entire lot to jpg. It saves a lot of space.

Change the new theme's name background to hh_fw_background.jpg and it will work.

Did not realised that everyone else use .png for the background as "standard". Will revert to png with next version.

Alternatively, you can edit homesetting.xml with text editor and change the hh_fw_background.jpg to hh_fw_background.png.

Phoenix 2.41 released

Seemed to have lost a day's update with the server problem on XDA.

Phoenix 2.41 released.

Built on ported 21042 XIP/SYS. Runs faster, and also slightly smaller overall.:)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
I've tested 2.40 for battery drain and it seems it's close to HTC original ROM. First 10% drop took 16 hours (overnight + 2 calls + a few SMSes). I hope 2.41 would behave the same :)

And checked BJK PL keyboard, without it typing a contact name in To: field of SMS hangs too. But not the whole system, only SMS process. But it's not a big deal - I have never used this function in real life :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Power usage should be identical.

This is a bug in the BJK keyboard and is beyond my control. Bug does not exist in the 20key version.

Out of curiosity, does the 20key version work with the 16key keypad?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] RsRichard:
hi,

i flashed to phoenix 2.11 with the 1.65.29.xxxxxx from official asia rom.

before that i flashed the official rom, to have the 2.16 rom base.

my phone is hardspl´d with 1.22.

well i have two nikis with exactly the same configuration.

in the first one the battery lasts for a few days - ok.

but in the second one it only lasts for 1 day and a half since my flashing orgy. before that both were the same.

i now flashed the 2.41 phoenix rom to give it a try.

do you have any idea, why my battery gets empty so fast in niki1?

my procedure works like this:

-spl phone with 1.22

-put in in bootloader mode

-flash official rom with 2.16 rombase and 1.65.29.xx rom.

-put in bootloader mode

-flash phoenix rom.

shouldnt i put it in bootloader mode when flashing?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
The radio 1.65.29.22 will cause a very high battery drain. Recommend you switch to 1.65.28.25 or another radio.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Once Hard SPL 1.22 is flashed, you do not have to reflash SPL again. Just flash any ROM you want, including mine.

If flashing fails for any reason, turn off phone by taking battery out, reinsert battery, start phone with camera button held down. This will drop phone into bootloader mode (3 colour screen) , and ready for a ROM to be flashed.

The customRUU or any of the official HTC ROMs will automatically drop the phone into bootloader mode. You do not have to do that manually.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] rling:
Planning to change the M2D screens for next build. Any recommendations or requests?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] RsRichard:
ok, i will flash the other rom, thats not 1.65.29.xx...

New XIP/SYS - 21127. Thanks to bbs.xbeta.cn. The SYS needed a fair amount of work to successfully port.

Overall, a bit faster than 21042, and feels like its on steroids compared to the WM6.5 ROM.

Ah! Happy to be home on WM6.1

Will be tweaking this one to see if I can wring a bit more speed out of it.
