For some reason no matter what you set the calender to (Month,Week, etc view) it still opens in the agenda view. Has anyone been able to solve the "agenda view" problem?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
After you make the change in Calendar from Menu -> Tools -> Options you have to completely exit the program for the changes to take affect. When you go back to the today screen press the Task Manager then kill "Calendar." Now reopen the calender. Your new settings should have taken affect. The task manager is the little three bar and triangle icon in the top right corner.
[Touch Pro CDMA] kyle4269:
I tried that and all it does is show the month view for a second and go right into agenda view.
[Touch Pro CDMA] mypantsaretorn:
for some reason i cant program my phone... everytime i dial *228 it tells me that it cannot program my phone right now and i have to call customer service and theyre closed now... i tried activating a saga and it was programmed no problem...

i unlocked the phone.. installed rev1... everything seems to have gone through smoothly but now i cant program the phone! whats goin on?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Strange, it works fine for me.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
I would probably try again in a couple hours.

Dialer skin?

Okay - I've read through the thread with great interest. Which Dialer Skin do you use?

I love everything about my TP EXCEPT the speed of the HTC Dialer Skin,... specifically the fact that the phone lights up during the first three rings and then finally rings so that I can answer it.

I've already tried all the tweaks and hacks out there. I've changed my SC from 2 to 1 to get a quicker response,... but I'm curious - do you have a dialer skin on this? Is it stock? able to dial ##PST and 911? Does it have the ring delay that the stock rom has?

Thanks in advance - and I sure do appreciate your work on this ROM!
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
My ROM it has the stock Dialer and stock settings, themes. Double check the first post, the point of the ROM was to be as close to stock as possible but with MINOR enhancements. The most notable enhancement is the newest version of CE OS from eRice kitchen. Makes the phone quicker than stock.

I can tell you how to fix the ring delay. Its a reg setting. Its not really a delay. If you closely look at your phone as it is about to ring. the little circle pad lights up and start dancing it lights for about 5 seconds. It makes it look like a terrible delay if you don't realize that the phone is actually showing off its capability to you. You can stop that by using either Advanced Config or Diamond config. I forget what one but it is something that you can control and is not an SCI setting. SCI is well before the point at which the phone rings.

Hope that clears it up for you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] SeeBeatty:
Okay - please do tell!! I have both tools on my phone - tell me what to do (I've looked at all options and don't see anything that stands out as the answer.

I'm two steps from trading it in for the Omnia today. I really like the TP - but I need the phone to perform as a phone first; Than a document reader; and finally a music / podcast player. It's what I need a smart phone for.

Are you telling me that yours does not ring 3-4 times on the callers end before yours makes a sound? Are you running TF3D and you have the original phone skin together? You don't have the occaisional lag on yours?

I've had the 6800 (Mogul), the 6900 (Vogue), and now the TP. I've flashed my other two - but the Vogue doesn't get good enough reception to make it usable for me. And that's my only hesitation about the Omnia - reception. My house is a fringe area.

I am at a crossroads - either I get the TP to perform better or I get a Omnia.

Thanks Scott!
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Ok I am working on some ROM stuff right now. I will look into it for you later this afternoon. I know I changed it on my phone when I first got it because it drove me crazy watching those lights bounce before the phone even RANG!

I had never had 5 rings though like you. I think you may have identified the problem. It could be your reception causing the issue as well. You and I may be experiencing two totally different problems.... You can only try.

AS far as the TP performing better. Well... That takes time. I am working on some things like I said above..... Need to learn more about this phone because it is different than the other models.
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
In Diamond Tweak, try changing the Ring Time setting to Without delay and see if that helps.
[Touch Pro CDMA] SolShade:
OMG my phone is awesome now.:eek:

Thanks Scott and all that put work into this ROM.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Thats what I was trying to think of!!! Why the HELL did they ever even make an option like that!
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
Scott, I have used your roms for the 6800 and was always amazed at how much better my 6800 worked and I am so glad to see that you have started working with the 6850.

I am going to try your rom this evening but I wanted to ask everyone's opinion about the setup of this phone.

I am looking for the best possible configuration for this phone for optimal speed, signal and battery life.

Has anyone found a good combination to make this possible?

Thanks
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Awesome! Glad you like it! It was no bother at all. I had to get my VZ Nav working on a Kitchen so I could use it and cook up ROMS. Figured I might as well share ;c)
[Touch Pro CDMA] SeeBeatty:
Yeah - that and the ringtone instant were the obvious choices,... I tried both of those right off. Didn't have any luck. Now, ringtone instant seems to stick and be set after a soft reset. But the ring without delay will set back to with delay - i keep trying,... but it keeps setting back. I may actually do a hard reset and start over. (I've installed a lot of hacks and tweaks). So it would be nice to see if it would straighten itself out.

If I can't get it straight - I'll consider switching again tomorrow to the Omnia,... but I'm going to do some more research tonight.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro CDMA] t0mmyr:
i guess you're not gonna be doing anything for sprint touch pro owners?
[Touch Pro CDMA] digitalattic:
Hi Scott,

Thanks again for getting this rev done so quickly. I'm gonna flash it tonight and will report any bugs I find, but looks like it should be pretty clean now.

I'm working on cabbing up some of the PPC Kitchen Herman OEMS I like:

Phone Codes: Provides shortcuts to the various Apache CDMA Support tools.

Gyrator: GSensor screen rotation app with many features.

G-Light: Allows you to adjust the backlight dimming levels and timing.

GSen: GSensor app that adds screen rotation to any app as well as other features.

Sensor Lock: App that uses the sensors to lock the device and other functions.

I'm new to this sort of stuff, so it will probably be a few days before I have anything to post, but I promise to share if the results are good;)

Donation for your work coming too.

Off topic: I loaded up your M2D ROM on my 6800, and I must say I almost wouldn't have upgraded to the 6850 if I had found it sooner! I think there may be a bug on the App Tab: when I try to use the "All Programs" option on the lower bar, it doesn't go to the programs screen like TF3D does on the 6850. Not sure these functions are the same for both phones, but it seems that they would be.
[Touch Pro CDMA] oanderson007:
Quick question Scott, does your rom or kitchen's build of windows need the update from HTC's site entitled " Hot fix to enhance WAP security for HTC Touch Pro "? Or is this already applied in this windows build or rom build?

Also thanks a million for being essentially our sole supporter for roms for the verizon touch pro, thus far. You are opening the door to us to make our equipment worth what we paid for it. I hope to see the gps unlocked and some possible ram freed up from the device like DCD was able to do for the 6800 but as I am unable to accomplish these god like achievements with my current technical expertise I will patiently await the day for these improvements to come. I am now aware thanks to xda that there is 64 mb we will not be able to get access to, but that still leaves us with 128, and upon start up windows is using more than the 6800 did so it is hopeful that we can clean it up a bit like dcd did by removing some windows items, such as windows update, error reporting, and anything else we dont really need on a day to today bases(I am aware that this is rom but something is using the ram, not sure what though). So thanks again, your work is appreciated. Also thanks to cmonex for her spl unlocker, of which non of this is possible and also eRice for the kitchen which will further us along in our search for our perfect customer rom. :D

P.S. I love the calc skin on the Rev 1 rom. Also please keep us updated on any news on GPS unlocking from GC. I currently have navigator and wouldnt mind paying if it had all I wanted. (no satellite view is killing me:(, and the zoom level is lacking a bit on street view as well) . Thanks for the hope Scott and everyone on xda and ppc geeks working on our "Special need's" Verizon Pro. :rolleyes::D
[Touch Pro CDMA] SeeBeatty:
Lock - to avoid answering calls as I unholster,...

Really liking this ROM - Made my decision,... I'm sticking with the TP over the Omnia. RF Signal is better on the TP and the customizations (which I admit I love todo every other week - so thanks for the Kitchen) are more convenient on TP.

Quick question about device lock - Scott do you use anything in particular to avoid accidentally answering the phone? I've used PS and S2U2 - both with mixed results. Just wondering (given that we have close to the same configuration on our phone now) what you advise.

Thanks again (bought you some coffee for a week). ;)
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
I'm not sure it's due to this ROM, but I don't remember it happening as much before this update, but it seems like ActiveSync keeps starting up on it's own on my phone.

I'm not doing anything at all and I see ActiveSync in my program manager. I stop it and it starts up again soon after.

That occurring for anyone else?
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
I noticed this on the stock ROM. I use exchange so I assumed that was the reason for it.

I just flashed to Scott's latest ROM and setup exchange and see the same thing as well.

If you are not using exchange, i couln't imagine why this would happen to you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
On my i760 ActiveSync was always popping up...TP does it too with stock rom.
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
I'm not using exchange.

Ok, I guess as long as I know it's not just me and it's not just Scott's ROM, not much I can do.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
OK, how do I add this ROM????? I unlocked following PPCGEEK thread with no problem. When I D/L Scott's file I cant unzip it....not even an option!! It is a .rar file and I cant open or run it.....please help.
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
Download WINRAR and unzip the files.
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
Scott,

Did you load any TF3D themes into the ROM or is this a case of what you see is what you get?

BTW this ROM ROCKS THE FAT A**!

:)
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
The file from his website says: VX6850ROMRev1.rar I cant unzip this file?:confused:
[Touch Pro CDMA] rachbu:
You don't have to be using Exchange--if you sync any email (IMAP, POP3, etc.) to poutlook, or if you connect to a PC via usb, activesync will run in the background.
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
Yes, I sync to the PC, so I know Activesync runs then. It's just weird that if I do a fresh reboot of the phone, activesync starts up, I close it, it starts up a again and so on.
[Touch Pro CDMA] ka911:
hi guys,

I want to report a bug under Weather tab! after I select one city I want to add a new one(in my example I want to select Spokane in WA it will freez and then it will remove my first selection and then I will not see any city under WA! any one have something like this?
[Touch Pro CDMA] SeeBeatty:
Not here, I removed two and added two without incident (for instance, I like Seattle, Chicago, and New York) But I add my location in FL and my parents home in IN. All worked without any hickups.

I have to say, this ROM is SSSSMMMMMOOOOOOOTTTTTTHHHHHHH.

Thanks again Scott!!
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
I am so sorry, i meant WINACE not WINRAR.

That should allow you to extract the files.
[Touch Pro CDMA] gh0stb0y:
Just a heads up, I thought it was weird too, and I was running the stock rom. I can not have it sync'd for days, reboot, it'll still come up. Not scrosler's rom.

On a side note, I just flashed to to his rom, and it's working great, though I've not played with it much it. The only thing I've noticed so far is that the EVDO reception is fluctuating a lot more than before. I used to get 2~3 bars in EVDO consistently on the stock rom, but since I've flashed the past couple of hours, the EVDO receptions jumps from nothing to 4 bars back and forth a lot. Not that big of a deal...phones' running a bit better, that's what I paid the money for in the first place! A functional piece of equipment! Thanx!
[Touch Pro CDMA] ka911:
dear friend,

I'm sure that the ROM top smooth with out any question, its just the weather I'm having a problem with! and how can I select a different country? after I select the US city I want to add another city from another Country
[Touch Pro CDMA] gh0stb0y:
Can't use FULL QWERTY

scrosler, after flashing to your rom, I noticed that I can't switch to full qwerty without the keyboard being slid out. The onscreen keyboard in normal viewing is compact keyboard. When I try to change it in settings, the effect doesn't take place even after a reboot...am I the only one with this problem? Thanx.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
Scott, can you help me out? The file I'm downloading from your website is a .rar and I cannot extract it. What should I do?
[Touch Pro CDMA] SeeBeatty:
I think this is what you are trying to do: Try this
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
No, actually I was asking what I need to do this- as far as other files or software. THEN I would no what to Google. But thanks for trying...
[Touch Pro CDMA] SeeBeatty:
Huh? Let's back up,... if you have WinRar you can extract the .rar file and it will create a folder with all the documents. I assumed that you read the stickies and know how to flash a ROM (you've been around enough for that). I just downloaded the TP ROM from Scott's site and I didn't have any problems extracting the file with WinRar so there shouldn't be any issues with the file posted on the server,... so I remain baffled by where you are stuck.

I thought you didn't know that .rar is another form of .zip requiring a different program to extract it,... specifically WinRar,... available as the first link in that Google Search a performed for you,... guess I don't understand the problem enough to help you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
Got it......but I dont see any difference from stock Rom just yet....actually memory used looks like more now:confused:
[Touch Pro CDMA] Reistlehr:
:(

Tried the ROM. Way laggy even on the calibration screen and seemed to flow down TF3d. Although memory usage was down to 43% with TF3D enabled.

Nice ROM, just not for me :(

yet
[Touch Pro CDMA] Reistlehr:
lol. or im stuck with it. can't flash back to pre-release. flash wont take. lol
[Touch Pro CDMA] Cranemachine:
Rev 1

Do we need to completely reflash to get the new Rev? Or is there something I can do to update without a hard reset?
[Touch Pro CDMA] kyle4269:
need to reflash again.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Thats actually an M2D bug that is talked about in that post.

Glad you like this. Please share anyhing you create. I will host it on my site if you would like....
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
No, I dont have that fix cooked iun unless eRice put it in the sys folders. I havent checked.

n the same note I can add it in to the next kitchen. I am working on your exact request right now.

I am booting clean with 71.65 megs of RAM without touch flow and around 65 with Touch Flow ;c)

It will be a couple more days while I refine and research. But dont worry I was trapped in the blizzard this weekend and have something special for us. Its nice... Thats all Im gonna say ;c)

It will be an XDA exclusive! Free RAM so far is 71.6 on fresshboot, 65 with TF3D loaded. Very fast, all stock with some utiulties.

I researched all the available reg tweaks, TF3D tweaks, etc and will incorporate all the good stuff!

So far the results are VERY promising...... So far..... Few more things to do and I will release it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Thank you very much for the coffee!!!! I appreciated that! If you get an email entitled President Elect Barrack Obama its from me. I was showing my buddy the easy way to spoof email, forgot about it, and responded to your paypal email ;c) Oooppsss...

AS far as locking.. I never lock my phone. I just put it in standby. This phone however is differnt than my vougue and titan. I am always turning it on in my pocket. The power button doestn seem yto have the resistance the titan and Vogue did. But other than that I tune my phone for extreme speed. I dont use anything that sits in memory. I actually got this phone to boot with 85 megs of RAM!!! Not very usable but fast as all hell!
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
Can't wait!

Will be an early Christmas GPS release?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
I beleive activie sync runs on all roms all the time. I am not sure 100%. You can kill active sync. I am sure of that. I think you need to kill replog.exe or something close.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
No, I never noticed that. On my ROM, its slightly differnt than what I release to the community, I have set it up for only one city. I'll take a look but wont speend much time on this ROM.... I got a nice rom and kitchen coming soon...... Its going to blow this one away..... (Nothing wrong wth a little hype before a release ;c)
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Glad to see you like it. I was worried when you said you were going to go the Omnia..... Ughhhh
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
You will need to unlock the database. That is a feature of my next ROM, the database is unlocked already. Search for "custom city weather database" for now. You should find what you need. I will link you something but I am at work right now ;c(
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
This usuall happens if you apply certain tweak such as sip disable. I didnit do that to begin with and had no issue with this ROM like that.

Did you apply ANY tweaks and if so list them or link them and I can tell you how to undo... Assuming it is a tweak.

If its not a tweak, then I am not sure.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Thanks for the help. I think I will update my site to include a link to WinRAR or possibley just upload a self extractor on next Round....
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Im not working on GPS. GC14 and others are. I dotn have that level of knowledge (yet) but basically it requires some low level reprogramming of the phone. I got kitchen skill but no CMOS skills... Yet....

Hehehehehe
[Touch Pro CDMA] RonMac:
Aww Maaaaan :(
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Quick update

Hello all,

Just a quick update. I noted some very minor issues that bugged me with this first ROM that 99.99% of people will never see. Just small things that broke when I tried to port form Stock ROM to someonelse's kitchen. The ROM did serve its purpose though! I needed to find out how this thing runs, what works and what doesnt. I have done that. The experimentation statgge is nearly complete....

here is what I am working on if you are interested.....

New Kitchen / ROM that is based ENTIRELY off stock ROM. No use of anyone else ANYTHING except some graphics and OEM's. the core kitchen is my creation entirely! Yes we did however go backwards in CE OS for now... I did this because our dvice does have small changes in the SYS folder that is not present on the other devices. Hence we need our own 100% kitchen.

The new ROM will incorporate a minimalist effect. Most uneeded services will be shut down when you first boot. No large titlebar, no large start menu (you wouldnt beleive the memory they take), and a couple other services you didint know where wasting memory.

All tweaks are reversible and the reversal scripts will be included with the ROM. I will load it up with only utilities such as TF3D config and Diamond config. Ram on boot now is hovering around 68 Megs free without TF3D. If I shut down other garbage on the phone I can get up to 80 megs!!! I tweaked TF3D and took out some Tabs which can be added in later with the TF3D customizer. I also upgraded to a new version of Opera.

Will leave thge stock TF3D theme but have included the US weather database fix as well. Anyways, just thought I would see if there is any interest in this ROM. If so please post and I will release it when I get home tonight. Just a couple things to tweak.

Basically this ROM will be all stock with tweaks by me and tweaks I find.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Dont worry dude, you want it only HALF as bad as I do. At least we have VZ Navigator... Yes its the worse there it is... But better than nothing right now.

GC14 knows what he is doing. Let him work on the GPS and I will work on cleaning up the OS and making the device fast.
[Touch Pro CDMA] stanglifemike:
Sounds good, thanks for all of your hard work!! Is there anyway to completely dump Opera in favor of Skyfire? I personally cant stand Opera Mobile, now Opera Mini I do like. Thanks again
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Sorry, I only have an OEM for Opera so I cant exclude it without excluding it for everyone. I will release the kitchen also so you can always cook up your own without opera.

Thanks!

Scott
[Touch Pro CDMA] havoc8731:
Did I just kill my new phone????

hey all....

I just got my new phone from verizon...booted it up, then loaded the unlocker and new rom. It rebooted and said it was starting for the first time, then turned off. Now it won't tun on at all!!! Did I break it right out of the box??? Help!
[Touch Pro CDMA] havoc8731:
I see the problem

OK, it looks like there is a spot in the back for a card? Or something? when I push it in, the device powers on, but I didn't get a sim card or anything to go in there? Any advise? Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dimitri407:
Hey Scrosler.... Did you add Google Maps to this version? Am thinking about going with Rev 1 but needed to find this out first. I would rather have the 2.3 version.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Nope, No GPS app other than VZ Nav.
[Touch Pro CDMA] havoc8731:
Never Mind

It suddenly stopped doing it and it's working fine now....weird...
[Touch Pro CDMA] dimitri407:
Looks like Verizon might give us a little help in unlocking GPS. But I am sure that the devs here and at PPC Geeks will have it done sooner.

http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/verizon_relents_gps_to_open_up.html
[Touch Pro CDMA] Scott:
Yeah, very strange.
[Touch Pro CDMA] gh0stb0y:
Sounds great, looking forward to that! I "fixed" my compact keyboard problem by installing SPB MS 2.1.4...that somehow corrected. I didn't apply any tweaks, it was just odd. Oh well, it's working now and now I'm just sitting anxiously for a new release from you! Thanks a billion!
[Touch Pro CDMA] lexluthor:
So will this still be fast like your first revision? Are you going all the way back to the Verizon CE OS or somewhere in the middle? I was under the impression that the updated CE OS was why it was so much better.

As far as the large titlebar and large start menu, what exactly do you mean by those 2 items? Can they be turned on and off from the phone menus/registry somehow?

I'm still on your first revision and am happy. I haven't really found any other problems with it (my button and needing to install .net 2.0) and it's been working great.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dimitri407:
We are all anxious to see the newest ROM for VZW.
