I cheated on you with a different rom for a week, but i just keep coming back to your roms and am amazed by the speed and usabilty of it. This is the best rom for the HD period. Thanks again for your efforts
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] frogjaw2:

no picture in people tab

hey, im using the 5.7 version on my blackstone everything works fine but there are no pictures that show up in the people tab sense 2.5. only the stock htc avatar displayed. in version 5.6 it did work! HELP!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
that would be answer if he asked for sent notification,but he asked about received notification
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zjxpot:
You are right, but I was just trying to give him an option to check first and see if the Message he sent actually left his phone. that all.

I hope he got it sorted though.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Eriol:
Hi,

just a quick one: I am using version 5.6/COM3/Sense on Blackstone and travelled from Germany to France recently. When updating the weather data to the new location in France, the time synced one hour back (meaning, it showed 16:00 before, but 15:00 after syncing, while 16:00 was the correct time). The location setting was correct, though. I fixed it manually and then travelled to Belgium and back to Germany, and this did not happen again: Every time I synced the location, the time stayed correct.

In version 5.7 it sais that autotimesync was corrected. What exactly does this mean - which error is solved?

Cheers, Eriol

Still problems with my wifi. After connecting to my home spot, i can't use the connection to download something. Its the same with other wifi connections :(

PS: I've tried all cookies versions with this rom and all were working. CHT v2 is just amazing and this rom let cht run at least alright, even cht was made for the hd2 :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
As I said before, I got replies from my sent SMSs. The bug is you check notification in All Messages / Tools / Option / SMS-MMS, but it happens it is uncheck for some contacts.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
I'm using the Manila 2.1/WM6.5.3 release. I'm finding that sometimes Manila drops down by a few lines on the screen so a part of the icon bar is hidden behind the taskbar at the bottom.

As I tend to have MoTweets open in the background, I can see the top of that application peeking out between the upper taskbar (clock and icons etc) and the top of Manila :)

Not a big issue in the grand scheme of things, I'm guessing it's related to it originally being intended for WM6.1 which had the same sized upper and lower bars (where WM6.5.3 has a bigger lower bar and smaller upper bar).

For the guy who reported issues with ActiveSync, go to \Windows\StartUp and run the "AutoPos" icon (this terminates the process and lets ActiveSync work). I've just noticed though, it does however cause the issue mentioned above... *ahem* :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ieom:
i have the same problem?

how to solve it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Hey guys, i'm still in v5.5.1 and would like to know if some things have been improved in the higher versions.

Wifi:

- Often my blackstone connects to wifi, but no data transfer is possible :(

- If i try to create a new wifi connection, the popup list for encryption is empty

SMS:

- The char counter apears only if i push the button for new text message. If i wanna answer in the wm chat or the sense chat, the counter doesn't appeat :(

Maybe the couter can be set with some registry hacks, any ideas?

Deep Sleep

I have been using kwbr 5.5 com3 for about 3 weeks now and just flashed my phone to 5.7 com3 today. I have encountered the same problem for both the ROMs which is phone going into deep sleep when standby. This happens either when i am charging my phone or during normal usage. The only way to turn back on my device us either to remove my battery and reset, or hit the reset button at the back of the phone. Anyone facing the same problem? Please advise if there's any solutions as this is getting irritating. No doubt this is a really good ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
No i dont have this problem and im using Kwbr ROM`s from long time all versions but sometimes this heppan and we still cannot explain why this heppan i can recomend you for example to choice the ROM you want and befor to flash the ROM again just do Task29 to Clear the whole Device memory and when when you flash the ROM you want you will have a clean fresh flash:)

Also its posible the Deep Sleep to be caused by ANY other Software installed from YOU so how you can chek out this is..

Simple do Task29 and flash the ROM you want and thats it do not install anything more in the next few days just use the ROM few days or one week and you will have the Answer:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
yes, tsalta is right, try task29....

btw i never encountered such issue (i went through almost all kwbr versions form 4.5 onwards)...and i always do task 29 with 1.17 radio
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
I had the same issue with a former one, don't remember the serie, though I always run Task29 + 2 hard resets after the install.

Now with 5.7, my Blackstone freez when I udate my contacts with Facebook.

An other issue I have with 5.7 (let says issue) is multitasking. It is extremely slow when running an MP3 player and surfing my webmail. Some sens tabs takes 3 to 5 seconds before showing up too. I'm thinking about PagePool but have no idea if it can help in thoses matters...

I really don't know why I'm encountering so much issues with KWBR ROMs that where so usefull/flawless formerly on my phone, maybe it (my Blackstone) is getting old and will die soon... Really don't know.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Buccio:
Hi guys... i have flashed the last C3 rom and work fine but i have one problem.. when i attach the usb cable i get this error "this device doesn't support the usb handset" ... i tried with activesync mode but it's the same... Anyone help me please?? it's very annoying... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
usb cable should not cause the issue

normally you get that notification when plug usb headphones

try using task29 before flashing,if it is caused by some collision in memory
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Buccio:
Thanks for reply...

I also used task29 when i have flashed the rom so i don't think is a some collision in memory.. :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
try another cable,or another rom if that doesn't help

cable might be damaged
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rogers:
Thanks for your advise on task 29. I did perform it actually. I was wondering what nbh file do I need to use when I perform task 29? Is it the nbh file from the ROM or the nbh file the radio that my Blackstone is using. Please advise. Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geoponer:
Even though we're a little bit off-topic here, it is common to use the .nbh of the radio when performing Task29. Some others use fake .nbh files, the smaller the better (like a start-up image, if I recall well).

The safest way to go is to use the .nbh file of the radio though... I have performed Task29 2-3 times in this way and never faced a single problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Buccio:
You were right... i tried another cable and it works fine, thanks for the help.. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Big thanks DarkPrince
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hlodys:
I'm using Radio 1.17.25.09
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
try another laptop,maybe it causes the issue,and not the HD
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
Turn on 'beam' in the communications settings. That's all you are missing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Anyone interested in a sense 2019 based rom? Need some testers :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] st3ph3nt3:
I'm in...!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Ok, I will pm you this weekend :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] michoob:
@kwbr: I think you never really told us why you stuck with the build 21914 for the COM2 branch, instead of moving to build 21916. Are you aware of some issues which would explain your choice? Anyway, I'm so happy with your 21914 build ROM :D, it's great!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stathis95194:
@kwbr you know i am in :) heh
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Tell me what has improved in 21916? I did see some bugs a while ago. Think it was related to mobile office. To me the version numbers were never the most important
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Sure stathis
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
count me in too,

i'll be glad to help :)

btw is there a way to export all settings to a file and later restore them?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] michoob:
Actually, to me, version numbers are not the most important too.

I was just curious because I thought the build 21916 might be stable and reliable as it is long since this branch hasn't been updated. Maybe this branch is just deprecated...

For me, your 21916 version 5.6 (which is the same as 5.7 if my understanding is good) is almost perfect.

Almost because I noticed the attached small display issue in some menus (please note I have disabled Sense 2.5 since I cannot get used to it).

My signature is up-to-date.

Anyway, thank you very much for your time and great work kwbr! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
a bit off-question

there's no such bug in com3

and try disabling everything but 3 tabs in sense... home+settings+3 tabs(i use messages,calender and weather because i use them the most and other tabs are a bit heavier and they all slow down the device)

it get's a lot faster,looks nicer,has all necessary feats,you can access anything in just one click (no need for sliding since the main window is 5 tab icons wide) and isn't complicated....

additionally put some icons below the clock (album,music and so on...put an icon for every tab you use which you disabled) because icon's will provide the same accessibility as the sense tab, and the device will be faster
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] michoob:
@farukb: thanks for your advice, but I'm used to iPhoneToday :). I like being able to run my 24 main apps in just one click :).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dgen:
No matter which rom I flash...I'll always come back to the manila 2.1 series of kwbr.

Fastest and most durable rom for the blackstone :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] st3ph3nt3:
hi kwbr, just wanted to ask if its possible to update wm6.5 manila 2.1 with weather?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
Seconded, it really is the most stable (and quickest) Manila version for this phone.

The wm6.5.3 and Manila 2.1 eats my battery for breakfast though, but a very good ROM!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
mine lasts for about 2 days with moderate usage, even with sense 2.5
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
Yeah, same with Manila 2.1

Meanwhile, the most recent kwbr WM6.1 & Manila 2.1 ROM lasts about 4 days with moderate usage. A small price to pay I suppose :)

One other thing I've found though, if I have vibrate disabled for new email it still vibrates when I receive a new email. Again, small price to pay as apart from that and the battery, this rom is decent.

email download problems

Hello again,

I wrote before about this, but nobody answered...

It seems that nobody have the same problem.

I'm using the 5.5 COM2 Sense 2.5 and I discovered a very strange problem with the e-mail.

Facts:

I've set up only one IMAP email account.

Provider: other

I download only headers, then I mark to download only what is interesting.

Problem: I cannot download all the messages, some of them does not download anything I do!

I've tried many times and in many ways, also connected through WiFi, ActiveSync or GPRS / 3G.

It is in vain, some email messages cannot be downloaded !

This is very annoying, because it happened many times and, guess what, the messages that are now downloaded are the most important sometimes.

PLEASE, can anybody help me? Maybe kwbr?

Thank you in advance,

Stefan

P.S. The ROM is very good in rest, and I really enjoy it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
you must do some troubleshooting before you ask

first try another rom to see if it is rom regarded issue,then if it is,come here and ask your question...

also try using another email address,to see if it is email regarded

then try playing with your settings,to see if they messed up something

cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hlodys:
cheers mate, works perfect now

another little annoying thing is that Library of WMP via manila tab is periodically updating. For example> when I restart HD device and going to the library and than choose "artist view" the view is blank and it takes about a minute to load the list. Is there any possibility not to refresh it every time and if needed to do it manually?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
that is not rom regarded...go to windows mobile in general discussion and ask there
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bib*oops:
Nice...thread's guardian...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Never had any email related problems
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stefanjadex:
This is normal.

To avoid this, put a shortcut of the AudioManager_Eng in the Startup folder. The file is located in \Windows folder (could be hidden, but can be see with Resco Explorer).

Doing this way, the audio manager of Manila will start and refresh when you reset the device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stefanjadex:
farukb, thank you for the answer.

I did a lot of troubleshooting before asking, I'm not a novice user of Windows mobile - I use WM since its beginning.

The reason of asking here is strictly related with this ROM, I believe.

I've used many other ROMs with my HD, but none of them has this problem. And, believe me, I know how to flash a rom and how to set the device (any WM device) ... BTW, I'm a computer engineer.

No, it is not related to the e-mail address; I've set up another 3 accounts and it is the same.

Does anybody observed the same strange behavior?

Regards,

Stefan

Hi, kwbr. Xmas is coming. So, Merry Xmas to you and your family.

BTW, is there a cab to change the positions of the slide lock and the time-date bar on the lock screen? I am running COM2. Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoo:
Hi, I was wondering, if there is any chance to change the way contacts are displayed in your roms? After flashing and importing contacts back (from gmail account), they are displayed as "Last Name, First Name"... but I would much appreciate, if there was an opportunity to simply change this to "First Name Last Name"

If it is not possible now, could someone help me with advice for future!?

Thanks :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Not that I know of. By the way, it is the default on android devices and a lot of people want to change that :) If you have time it can be done but you have to find and patch some manila lua scripts for that
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
A bit early but happy xmas also. As for the slide lock positioning. you have to edit an xml file for that. You can find several mods which you can use to build your own layout. Take a look at metro lock and iphone lock
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
First have to update the leo and rhodium roms :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
thanks a lot :) i highly appreciate everything you did so far

take your time,no need to rush :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
you will get the same result if you export your google contacts to a CSV file, open it in excell and simply swap places of the columns (just leaving the column names in their places) ,save the file,import it into outlook and sync with the device ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] The_Madhatter:
Hi,

i just upgraded my rom from the kwbr 4.1 Release to the new kwbr TouchHD Sense COM2 (5.7). Everything is fine so far, but it seems that in the new build the HTC Taskmanager (the pulldown menu in the top right corner of the screen) is vanished:confused:

So I'm not sure if this is intended or i did something wrong during the upgrade.

If its the first case, how am I supposed to switch between multiple running applications? The preinstalled App "Process Manager" isn't very comfortable compared to the built in TM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
that is not a bug,kwbr left it out on purpose

you can find an alternative by searching the forums for task managers...and also, i believe that there is a cab for the HTC task manager

EDIT:i found it for you

here,take a look at this,you might have use of this if you decide to try com3 build http://www.xda-developers.com/windo...rison-mmtaskmanager-showcase-arkswitch-xtask/

or here if you are planning to stay on com2: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2151932&postcount=1

Hello Kwbr and all other guys, i have a question since i flash v 5.7 COM3 Manila i have problem conecting the device via Disc Drive sometimes with Active Sync also and i need all the time to Soft reset the device after soft reset im able to conect it ONCE but even then the Speed of the Disc Drive mode is SUPER SUPER SLOW so i was thinking i did some mess up with the Drivers on my Desktop PC im using Windows 7 64bit but after pre installing everything.. the problem is still here and befor with other ROM i do not have problems like this.. on the final i get my brother Blackstone and i flash it with v 5.7 COM2 Manila so there is complate diferent everytime his Blackstone conect without a Problem and also in Disc Drive mode is USB 2 hight Speed so he transfer 150mb file for 30 seconds or less im doing the same for 50 minutes LOL

My Question is do anyone have the same problems with V 5.7 C3 Manila version????

Now im going to flash my Device with COM2 because when i want to put few Mp3 on my device i need to wait few hrs WOW.

Also the conection wizzard on the device i think is messed UP because in the V 5.7 C3 Manila build always freeze.

Also in all ROM i use from here in the last few mounths i cannot Actice Sync Faster data sync.. to do that i need to unchek the box under the actyve sinc for faster transfer wow... and if this box is cheked never the device will Active Sync this is in all ROM`s here from the past few mounths..

Please revise this issue:)

Thank you in advance
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hlodys:
after 10 days of using COM2 (5.7) still surprised with performance/speed/stability

great job m8 !

there is a last thing that bothers me. in COM3 I was able to copy .mp3 into \Application Data\Sounds

and thru that I was able to set my mp3 as a alarm, in COM2 I cannot do that.

Is there other way where to copy files to use mp3 file as alarm. And not installing other alarm application.

thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
i've been using 5.7 for a few days and i had no such issues,try to hard reset or reflash....also go to settings>connections>usb to pc and disable "faster data sync"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
copy the mp3 to windows folder, go to alarm and set it as your ringtone
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] st3ph3nt3:
hi kwbr.. any news on rom update? Will you consider cooking com2 manila 2.1 w/ weather clock? really like the speed on 2.1 but it lacks the eye-catching weather.. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Thanks, don't forget to give this thread a rating.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
I did it also i always do a Task29 befor flashing and etc...

Im talking about the v 5.7 C2 Manila version Not Sense Version..

So u use abolutly the same ROM? im asking because i think that is posible to have some kind of conflict betwen the Touch Flo 3D and the C3 Build

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
well right now i am using sense version,but few days ago i was using manila version and i really had no issues...did you try to reflash the device? and did you install any application that might cause the problem...also try it with another computer...:rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
Yes i did it.. just need to try diferent pc but no have any sense because i try with my brother Blackstone who use diferent ROM and he do not have any problems for that reason i think is ROM related problem.

Anyway now think to flash COM2

But do u have any idea why all ROM`s from some time.. if you want to Active Sync you need to unchek the box for Faster File Syncronization?!

Befor using diferent ROM`s i never do this and the device always sync without problem..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
as far as i know almost everyone advised that it is best to uncheck fast sync...i did have some problems with syncing until i unchecked fast sync...but that is the only issue i can think of :)

great rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
Now im more than Sure its ROM problem because i try almost everything posible including few times re flash and Task29 etc etc right now i just Flash v 5.7 COM2 Manila and just conect it with the same Cable on the same PC all is the same.. this problem is GONE and also the Disc Drive mode is very very fast and use USB2.

Im sure that in V5.7 C3 Manila have some problem with the Conection :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I've seen this before and problems got solved by removing the device profile on the pc or reinstall AS/WMDC
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Maybe, what do you guys like most. A new Sense 2019 rom (with RSS) or a 2.1 with Sense weather? Should that be COM2 or COM3?
