FAQ

Q: How do I flash this rom?

First of all installl Hard-SPL or USPL. Read the thread carefully. Double check if the installation of SPL succeeded. Before flashing it is best to have a fully loaded battery.

When you downloaded the rom unpack the zip file and start ROMUpdateUtility.exe (this is part of the flashing tool RUU). It should be pretty self-explanatory. Don't panic. The flashing process and the first boot can take some time.

Q: How can I enable threaded SMS?

Use threading SMS for that. You can find this program in settings.

Q: My SIM contacts are not shown in the dialerlist?

Install this cab to enable SIM contacts.

Q: Although I can toggle BT beam from CommManager I want to restore the beam applet. How can I restore the applet?

Install this cab to restore the beam applet.

Q: I can't receive files with bluetooth

Enable beam from the Comm Manager.

Q: I can't turn on Data Connection in Comm Manager

This is standard behaviour of CommManager. It will be enabled when you:

1. configured your carrier datasettings (typically done during system setting by "Connection Setup".

2. start a network connection e.g. by opening a webpage in Opera or PIE.

Once the connection is established you can terminate the data connection in CommManager.

Q: Google Maps isn't in English

Some versions of Google maps use the language depending on your regional settings.

what bug does the touchflo have??? by the way cool rom man
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bimsdae:
kwabbernootje you are awesome!Every day a new ROM!

Thanks a lot!

Will test new ROM now!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
It is a driver issue. In the Touch HD TouchFLO version you can enable vibration when pressing tabs. Anyway, it does not work out of the box and needs more research ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bokechukwu1:
oh thats no big deal lol other than that great work on the ROM flashing and testing right now, will there be a lighter version of the rom in the future for more program and storage memory to be availible
[Touch GSM ROM Development] munnna73:
welcome and regard for u r work so nice happening in xda many developer provide all defferent type rom for flash thanks alot
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
For now I won't do a lite version of "a Touch of HD" ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Demo[95]:
Huuum great idea.

Hoping a better Manilla HD for elf soon.... btw how did you managed to start the HD version... i'm stuck at the "tap here message"...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] eXPerience1983:

Bug / Glitch report

Nice rom btw....but....

I can't change the weather location. The add and remove location buttons are always grey.

fix: delete hklm -> software -> manila2s -> weather from the registry and reset

holle
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
That is really strange. I don't have this problem and can add _and_ delete cities ... Anyone else having this problem?

By the way, there is no such registry key as "hklm -> software -> manila2s" in my rom. Wrong forum?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AlexisRoj:
Bug with the camera when I use wit template don't work mark a error.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Alexis, what exactly does not work? Can you explain what you try to do?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] AlexisRoj:
For me is very difficult I don't speak English, I speak spanish, but I select take a picture with a template the cam is out, I don't remember the message because I chance the ROM but I go to flash my cel again and tell you.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] dsixda:
It's probably just missing the 3 or 4 JPG files that came with the Camera package in the kitchen. I notice that if I remove those annoying images (e.g. "Man of the Year") then it complains about missing themes.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi marco,

Here is the original OEM package from the rom. Give it try or build your own cab :)

can you upload the ringtones for blackstone?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] marcosvafg:
OK! Thanks!

But... where i should put this files?? :-)

Thanks again (and again, and again...)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
The SMS time issue is fixed in version 3.0.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Files should go in \Windows. Take a look at the .rgu file for registry entries.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
Very nice an update every week, just one question: where does google maps has the images of street level? Are the changes worth doing an upgrade from your latest version? A little bug i encountered with your rom (or is it my f...... network???) opera browser isn't smooth it hangs a lot trying to open simple pages like xda or other forums i haven't tried youtube yet but think will be the same. Thanks again for this rom
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi becosemsaida, I have no problems regarding Opera. The "browsing" speed is fast in both Opera and PIE. (I have an 8MB adsl connection at home)

If it is worth upgrading to v3.0 is up to you :)

Take a look at the changelog.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
Since i'm from holland i know how the internet works there but since i'm now in portugal i have a wireless connection (:mad:) and only 3,6mb at home and gprs on my elf but i tried it with my "home connection" and it's still laggy and very slow. I think i just have to go back to holland to use my elfin with the gprs connection (another 2 months!!!!!)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Yeah, you can't have it all. I guess the weather is better in Portugal :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
This might be one of the last updates because I can buy a Touch HD (bargain for 400 E :)). My Elfin is for sale.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
Rain, and cold now but too hot in the summer i'm thinking in going back to holland for good since i'm living here for too long already and only spend 4 months a year there if i just can convince my wife.................. sorry to hear that you're going to abandon us you are a great chef maybe i will find a bargain like that......................impossible here in portugal a touch hd unlocked costs 780e and locked is about 600e and not yet available here.(xmas????)

Manilla Photo tab working in Lite version

Based on jacobras links in Onyx thread, I put HTC Album and M2D Photo tab to work on Lite version.

PS -> I don't have time to test OEM HTC Album, but it's another solution

The lite version will run fine!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] azzazil:
guy ... i not to sure is it bug ... every time i shut down (off the phone) not softreset ... my sim contact still show ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chihliouma:
Please advice how to change the time format from 24 hours into 12 hours (AM/PM). Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] sirkula:
I have allready installed some ROM with WM 6.1 and it runs ok but the only thing is that it uses too much RAM it's runing on 77% USED memory,will I have more free ram with this LITE version. Cuz sometimes I'm getting message: Low memory shut down some app....etc...then touchFLO M2D turns off from time to time....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Change your regional setting to English US and reboot. After that select the date and time format you want (12 hours and select "pm" for pm and "am" for am)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I recommend to use the lite version on elf. Read the startpage.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
No bug. It is a registry setting. Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM to 0 to hide sim contacts.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] marcosvafg:
For now this is my only problem. How can I use a Portuguese keyboard with Lite version.

Any idea?

hi kwabbernootje

Where is the Bluetooth icon in top bar gone?

it would be important for me. Can you tell how to restore it ?

Ps: Great Rom

marcello
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I think it is caused by using some Touch HD bluetooth packages. Because I will concentrate on a new rom for the Touch HD I bought today I won't have enough time to sort things out. I am very sorry but this rom is stable and very fast at the moment. Maybe someone else can or will pick up further development of my rom.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] marcosvafg:
Hi kwabbernootje!

A little question this time :)

All menus have itens highlighted using green color, rigth?

Why only in Call History are you using blue?

This is a way to change it? Is it in registry?

Thanks again
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I have been searching the registry and the dialer package but without succes so far. When someone else finds out I will do an update. See my previous post.

I can do new updates with quick fixes e.g. but people have to sort things out themselves for now. Everyone can pm me with suggestions or fixes.

It's a nice release, the only thing that bothers me although it's a feature the help files should be easy to install in case that someone needs them.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:0
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I have used wm devices over the years and never used the help function. Did you? ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] joshua1982:
I don't use the help files either, I don't need them. What bothers me is that when I click help it's giving an error, I would just like to know which files it tries to open and I will put a sample help file myself, just not to get any error. ;-)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Joshua, that is strange indeed. When I select help from the start menu it shows me a page with some rom information. What version do you use?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] joshua1982:
Im using the latest one 3.0 which runs perfectly so far, except I can't even call it an issue but when I click help on some of the basic programs not the one located in the main menu I get an error saying it could not find the help file. If you like I can help you out this issue, I think it would be better that the files located in Help folder inside windows which are basically shortcuts to the htm files inside windows to all point to your file with description of the ROM. Not seriously an issue, just would like to make it the perrrfect ;-) ROM. ;-)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
oh boy, it took me a lot of time to remove all helpfiles and editting a lot of xml files. I'll take a look at that tomorrow. It would really help me if you can specify what programs you are refering to.

Got another question for ya... Have you any idea how I could set speed dial as default on my Elfin? The less taps I use the better... I`m usually driving when I need this setting...

Thanks a lot

Also I noticed that the operators gprs settings database may be an older version. Not a big problem though.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Alien-X:
awesome,

now you just have to fix the visibility of the camera icons in the camera tab :D

great rom !
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ultracd:
Four lines end four columns

Before everything it would like congratulates it for the ROM. Excellent work. It would like to suggest two modifications that would improve your work still more. The fast dialing and the item programs, you can place 4 lines for 4 columns? One I hug
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Alien, nothing wrong with the camera icons in the camera tab ;)

Indeed the icons won't appear when you have no images installed. Take a couple of camerashots and you will see that all icons appear (camera, up- and downselector).
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I removed the speeddialing to increase the speed, especially for elf users. I forgot in which file I adjusted this setting and didn't make a note of it :(

When you find out I can restore it.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I will replace the streaming filter from Blackstone with the original Elfin package in a new version. Give it a try.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
This is fixed in version 3.1

Awesome rom but gmail not showing mail

hotmail working fine though

in gmail it comes checking headers but does not display the mails afterwards
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Welcome2Miami:
of course, never seen such a genial rom !totally satisfied.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I heard of that problem before. The strange thing is, I don't have that problem with using gmail. What I will do is remove the Microsoft hotfix for mail and see if that helps.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ishanISCOOOL:
That would be great THANKS.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Smart dialing is already part of the current dialer. You can use voice dialing instead of speeddial while driving ;)

As for the 4 columns, I tried it and I don't like the layout so I keep it the way it is (like it is on Blackstone). You can easily adjust it yourself by editting the HTCHomeSettings.xml file in the \Windows directory.

<Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_COLUMN" id="3" value="4" />

Replace the default value of 3 by 4.

hi kwabbernootje

Thank you for fixing Bluetooth icon in top bar

i will flash it instantly.

you make a great job.

marcello
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi ishan. You can try the attached installer. I created a cab file that replaces some mail files from the Microsoft mail hotfix with default files from Blackstone. You can try this for my rom version 3.1. If it works I will replace the files in the next release.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
You're welcome
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ishanISCOOOL:
I figured out that gmail works even without the patch all one has to do is go to advanced settings and select download all messages instead of last 3 days.The patch did not make any difference though.

Anyways thanks for this great ROM, 10/10 for it.

Regards,

Ishan.

Bluetooth FTP Tab Missing

Hi All,

fist of all thank you to kwabbernootje for the very nice ROM :)

I had an issue, as the ROM didn't have the FTP Tab on the Bluetooth settings menu.

Not just this ROM but several ROMs running on WM 6.1

I did find this post from jlopez0978, which solves my problem :D

Cheers

[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
After a few days working with this rom i can say that it's very, very, stable and fast. Just have one issue i can't work out and i have already tried to solve it by using this and other forums: How does modaco gprs works?? I already set up my connections but can't even see the app. please help????

Bluetooth Headset pairing only once

Hi All,

I have tried some 6.1 ROMS on my Elf such as the Onyx 4.0, 4.1 the "A touch of HD" Manilla V8 but all of them did have an issue with the pairing of my Logitech F0408A which was working perfectly with the "old" Merlot ROM.

I can pair the headset but only once, if the device is not listed on the connected bluetooth devices, the ELF will ask to pair the headset, and the headset will work like a charm. But as soon as I switch off the headset, or the connection will go down, the Elf will not pair again anymore with the headset.

To be able to pair again, I must delete the device from the bluetooth devices list and pair it again with the Elf.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Strozzi

p.s. As my post on the upgrading root has been moved to trash, I try this way now tofind a solution to this problem.

Thank you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
Try to erase all your bluetooth devices and then pair them again but if you have your bluetooth set to undiscoverable the headset doesn't find it and you have to do it all again i have multiple devices connected to my elfin and works great just have to set bluetooth to discoverable in settings..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] strozzi:
Thank you becosemsaida for your reply, unfortunately I have tried multiple times to delete the devices, and or try another approach to have a stable pairing of that headset, but it was always the same. After switching off the device or the BT connection was down, no pairing anymore to the headset, until that was listed under the paired BT devices.

Strozzi
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Scorpia:
Awesome ROM. It's exactly what I like. Relatively clean, without putting a ton of custom applications on. Works well on my Elf. Thanks. I still haven't defeated that "Mobile Error" message in SIM Manager though. I get that on all M2D based ROMs. My SIM is almost unusable. Just need to copy SIM numbers to contacts.

One thing, Process Manager is spelt "Proces" manager in my settings. Doesn't really bother me, just wondering if there's any way to rename it?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ultracd:
First he would like to be thankful for the reply however I am with a tremendous doubt. How I go to edit the HTCHomeSettings.xml archive if it is part of the ROM and is read only? using to advantage this modification it could be made for the border people? Thanks!

AVI player

Great ROM! I have been testing it since ver1 along with other ROMs from the forum. Now I am sticking with 3.1. Its working like a breeze.

Is there an avi player that I can get in the next upgrade? I can't get the tcpmp working. I get crash.txt msg all the time.

Best wishes :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Have you tried another sim?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
This is fixed in my rom in release 3.2 ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Since you use the lite version 3.1 it is not part of the rom. I added NoData in the lite version 3.2.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
1. Copy HTCHomeSettings.xml to your pc.

2. Edit it with Notepad.

3. Copy the file to your device.

4. Copy it to the \Windows directory with Resco Explorer (lets you overwrite systemfiles).
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
I use Coreplayer. Best player around. If you like it buy it!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kwbr:
Great. Version 3.2 is out, I kept the Microsoft mail hotfix as part of the rom since it is working well.

Restoring backups

Hey bro! Thanks again for the latest update...

I have a question that may sound stupid, but there's only one way to find out... How do you restore your previous backups when you flash a new ROM? Since I started flashing my device I've been using only your ROMs (Arwen and a Touch of HD) and whenever you release an update I download it. I'm currently using SPB Backup and it works great, but when I restore the backup file I have the option to restore in "upgrade mode", among other options... I guess I'm doing it right although I encountered some problems sometimes, which made me install applet after applet... And it's a real pain in the neck doing this, I lose a lot of time... Do you have another suggestion on restoring backups???

Tks a lot bro!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] becosemsaida:
sorry, but since i have an elfin i use the full version. It's 3.1 though, i've already asked you if it's worth upgrading to 3.2 but still waiting for more feedback but i know the rom is great.......
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Fingers666:
hi guys, first off all ive been looking for a rom like this since i bricked my phone and wow, its fantastic. so far all is good but ive hit a little snag. when connected to my laptop i can run youtube messenger and the weather util without a problem. then when i unplug and use gprs none will connect. i find this strange as i can use opera and pie without any problems. so my question is has anyone else had this problem and is it fixable ? maybe a cab file as a quick fix. if not then its not a major problem as im more than happy with the rom, guess ill have to buy a wireless router and use wifi.
