Q & A Plz

Hi Kwbr

just seen u released new vanilla with M2.1

Q.does it include (anoying) weather my location on front screen

Q.Whats the main differances with topix & vanilla apart from apps installed?

Q.should it`s permformance be the same?

Q.have you got rodaium dialer cab handy from topix i can use with vanilla:D

I have one but it installs top bar icons & stuff too.

probly should have posted in vanilla thread if so sorry in advance:eek:

cheers

lookin forward to your new wm6.5 project releases.;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Topix was built with different packages and is a kind of frankenstein build. I will bring a topix 3.0 with standard manila 2.1 which I prefer also. I still run this on top of wm6.1 on a daily basis because I simply don't like the manila 2.5. The whole thing is it is too much of everything on the startscreen. The same goes for the wm6.5 honeycomb in my opinion which also doesn't make sense in terms of ergonomics.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stokesie:
I agree about M2.5 totally. What does M2.5 bring to the table apart from clutter.

regarding Honeycomb in wm6.5 is that the programs menu?

if so i saw it as a nice replacement for htc programs tab

when you release your wm6.5 rom i asume from your comments it will use M2.1?

cheers

Well - I don't know if it is just my phone, or a bad flash or something but I have had to abandon 3.0 (final) and return to 2.9.4

It seemed fine for a week or so - then I started getting random lockups.

Then, starting 2 days ago, I started getting random hard-resets!

Now - it hardly goes for a couple of hors before something goes wrong resulting in it hard-resetting.

Just flashing 2.9.4 (for which I have a sprite backup) and going to try that again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
and as the weather tab is already of no use, it's even useless to have the weather on startscreen (mind i mean forecast weather of present weather is stupid as i can look trough the window to see whats happens out :D )

Maybe if you live in an underground, seing current weather is helpfull!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Well... I do glance at the weather conditions on my HD when I want to know how warm or cold it is outside! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lansparty:
Hi I seem to have the same problem,

When trying to connect to the agps server I get a connection error.

Using topix 3.0 and Hi Mobile (Dutch) and default supl.nokia.com.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ucarcamagno:
hi KWBR.... so 3.0 final is not really final....:D ... good news!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
That's an understatement :D²

By the way, i'm verry currious about how you 'll frankenize WM6.5...

According to me, WM6.5 is just a stop over and has nothing new or helpfull to bring.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Abandoned-Trolley:
kwbr - Nice to see your belief in 6.1 over 6.5 and also 2.1 over 2.5 I agree and do not find either of those all that good.

One thing I have noticed and wondered, will it be possible to bring the new 'Twitter' tab from 2.5 into your 2.1 ROMs?

I installed one of the ROM's with the feature which is nice, but as a whole the ROM was just slow and unusable in my opinion.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Why not install a good twitter client instead of a buggy twitter tab? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
at the moment its a better choice than using the new twitter tab.. i fully agree kwbr :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
Which is the best twitter client? I have tried alot of them, but most of them arent working

Plz kwbr how can i make phone dialer Vibrate off ?!??! I make

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] megvagy:
I still testing the new Laurentius26 WM6.5 V1 WWE (after Dutty's Leo R4 and EnergyROM 09.23 Leo), but I think return to TOPIX 2.9.3 tomorrow. I don't know yet, because Laurentius made a very usable version. The fastest and smoothest rom on my hd was the topix 2.9.3.

kbwr: usual weekend update? :D I'm bored, if you do not update my phone!:p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pogulnik:
great rom!

i spent some time and figured out following -

if you switch off 3G, switch on wifi (even with no associated hostspot), enable weather auto update (incuding roaming) my location will detect where you are and will show appropriate weather...

it looks strange, because google maps can get my location with gps off - only by gsm (even with wifi off). it should be somwhere in Connection Settings - when we switch wifi off it must be switching off not only wifi... :mad:

can somebody have a look on a registry and processes that are affected by wifi switch?

hi...all!

Juz wondering if any1 can help me out here...

I would like to create a shortcut for "Phone" n "Settings" in the program menu like the original ones, how can i do tat???

Thanks...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Eriol:
A good approach! I hope someone finds a solution for this. Same for aGPS - it worked for me with every ROM before and I did not change the radio or the telcon provider, so I would expect that this has something to do with a setting inside the ROM. kwbr - do you have any idea?

Eriol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MeYaMoOo:
Please kwbr

How can i make phone dialer Vibrate off ?!??!

I make ( [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip]

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stefh:
This works for me too! Just switch on WIFI and switch off 3G and it finds my location within 10 seconds! So there should be a solution I guess to fix this.

EDIT: And btw, I have no WIFI setup! So my phone is not really connecting through WIFI!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
You both found the same results: Turning on Wifi makes it work, even without connecting to anything. That has to be one of the strangest problems I've encountered...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] clotet_htc:
Hi,

Which radio do you recomend? 1.14 or the new 1.17?

Thanks!! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bouloama:
Clotet_htc... didn't you read the topic? The answer was given a few pages back.

Radio 1.17 with rilldriver 1.14.

Go to the sticky of the Blackstone ROM development and there you will find the Radio Wiki with the downloads :)

Its realy running smoooth!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vapika:
Dear Kwbr, when will You unleash the topix 3.0 with standard manila 2.1 ? Tomorrow will be good flashing weather inside ! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sunstorage:
Just a question - is there a Topix ROM without a Manila? Can we expect a Topix build with all "fixes" and performance boost but without the Manila just like Miri do with its 6.5 ROMs (with Manila and without it)?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] 18S67705:
I completely agree, so users will have more choices!

We hope the authors concerned.

Thank you very much for your contribution!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufeig:
i'm using topix 3.0, manila 2.1 home weather. i've been testing for some time, was using dutty's 4.3 after long using 3.9

imho, winmo 6.5 still has some bug and surely is not as tweaked as winmo 6.1. the same happens with manila 2.5 and 2.1, and although i really like some of the 2.5 features, they're still not worth the trouble.

this is the first rom of yours i'm trying, and i'm so satisfied that now i know i'll let it flashed in my blackstone for a while, until a more stable manila 2.5 comes out.

really thanks for your hard work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
No, you can simply disable manila in the rom. Only reason would be to free some storage memory which is plenty available on blackstone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] clotet_htc:
Bouloama, I'm sorry, I read most but not all the 405 pages of the topic... :p

I had already installed the last 1.17 radio.

Thank you very much for your answer!! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sunstorage:
Thank you for your fast response. I am not very familiar with the ROM stuff but by asking "without Manila" I mean that the majority of the HTC stuff (for example the messaging, notifications, and such things - excluding of course the "non core" applications such as Album, Calendar) are gone and the WM one is used...

I mean that when we have a fast and stable ROM as yours its good to have a "backbone" of the ROM with more options for "customizing" it.

Any way i agree that making a stable and bug free ROM is high priority and I know that maintaining more that one version is a hard job (I work as a software developer so I am aware of "bug fixing" mechanism).

Thank you for your time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] clotet_htc:
I have the same question... :confused:

Thanks!! :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] James62370:
Hi Kwbr,

Is there any way to delete one call at a time from the call history? I only see two options, filter, and delete all calls...

Excellent ROM, keep up the great work :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] t533861:
Not sure if anyone has faced this problem, but, I am not able to run xtract on 2.9.4. I tried after disabling the Manila as well. Any suggestions?:confused:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] karhariasgr:
Hi there! Very quick rom! Im axciting! :D Thank you kwbr!!

I have 2 questions:

1 - How can I use the same background image to all tabs in Manila Touch Flo?

2 - I cannot upodate "My Location", why that happens? Any suggestion?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Maybe just me but I have no idea exactly what it is your asking for. Are you trying to get 'Phone' and 'Settings' in the old start menu or in the new one? Also the settings you're trying to get, is it a link to the settings tab or a link to 'all settings'? Need to be more specific.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
1. It has been posted several times but here it is again: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=503511

Very good app that allows you to create High Quality backgrounds, works on most roms.

2. Read the 1st page, clearly states that My Location does not work for everyone. A strange workaround for most is to turn on wifi then try it. In any case you can just add your city and update that as per usual.

I have also attached a few of my favourite backgrounds, provided by Kwbr. Just install the cab and restart Manila for background on all tabs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] caldo:
Kwbr, thank you for this rom! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] QuikSurfer:
hi...Dizzle

I'm actually asking for the new 6.1 Start Menu, where wen u hit "Start", u'll get the program start icon menu. Wen I dwnload kwbr "New Programs Tab 2.1" its all blank now I want to set like the original menu which have "Home, People, Calender, Settings"...n its lock cannot be removed.

So my Q now is how can i set my new program menu as like the original??? any registry adds or is there juz a simple cab tat will install???

Lastly, I don think my english is tat poor too understand! Maybe its u who don understand my engish!

Dear Dizzle,

I try the first wallpaper and dont like it, even after uninstall, still can get rid of the top bar from wallpaper.

Stuck.

I advice user dont try.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Top bar? Don't understand your issue. How about a screenshot?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] seacoral123:
Already purge out from the rom. reflash. too bad.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Ok. Anyway, if anyone else has had this problem, please let me know as I have never encountered it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Dizzle, I found these settings which may help to increase the fonts:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"Zoom"=dword:00000001
"SystemFontPercent"=dword:00000083
"ZoomScales"=hex:5A,00,00,00,73,00,00,00,8C,00,00,00,A0,00,00,00,B4,00,00,00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\192DPI]
"CurFont"=dword:0000041A
"FontArray"="720,900,1050,1200,1300"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Thanks Kwbr. I've tried those Inbox\settings to no avail. Anyway, I'm quite happy with it now, if it becomes a problem then I just install SMS Zoom....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
These should work:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\192DPI]
"CurFont"=dword:0000041A
"FontArray"="720,900,1050,1200,1300"

By the way, anyone interested in a 3.0 with regular manila (without the weather)?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Those keys change the WM font size, it has no affect on the manila sms size. Is the Neos Driverpack 2 cooked into the rom? Have you tried pack 3?

BTW, I'm happy with the weather....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Not me :) I'm interested in:

1) Seeing your plans for future ROMs!

2) Until you're done with something newer, could you publish a ROM with the registry hack, which turns my location in Manila off? It never works as it should anyway. And with CommManager as an exclusion to HTC task Manager, like in previous versions. No big deal though.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
No tried the v3 drivers. Not stable enough. Spoke to Neo about that. I use updated drivers however. Combination of latest topaz drivers and omnia.

You mean like this?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System]
"CommManager.exe"=dword:00000000

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
I like the new Home with weather. Is it possible to have 3.0 updated with the new drivers and such, or are these already in the 3.0 rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaniLoveSky:
Yes please, homescreen without weather would be great!

Also a question:

If I am not mistaken there used to be such a feature in your earlier ROMs - photos and videos could be uploaded from the Album application directly to Facebook and Youtube accounts respectively. Is there a relatively easy way to restore that functionality in recent ROMs? So far I only found this solution, but now in doubts how to integrate it in the already installed ROM (coping files in certain location?). Or is it only possible when cooking a ROM?

Curious... Why does NFS undercover no longer work in Topix?

Hi.

My experience is that NFS Undercover will not work on Topix ROMs since 2.9.2. Opening the game always generates an out of memory error.

I have seen it mentioned in the thread a couple of time but no explanation or fix (that I have seen) has been made...

Would someone please humour me with an answer as to why it no longer works, or is it "one of those things"?.:confused:

Kwbrs ROMs are all fantastic and I would recommend them to any HD user :)... I'm just curious about this anomaly!

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
I can't explain why NFS Undercover no longer works (I guess for some reason less memory is avialable compared to earlier ROMs - maybe due to newer Manila versions that usually require more memory than older ones), but a "fix" is to disable Manila! It should work then!

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this on 3.0 yet - but this has worked on other Topix ROMs! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afr33s:
Thanks for that, but I'm not sure it's a typical memory issue as NFS works on (at least) Dutty's new ROM with Manila 2.5... which I guess is a bigger memory hog.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] karhariasgr:
It doesnt work to my. Look my screen after installation "HQWallpaperPatch_v1.15_forManila2.1.cab"

I also install the "HDWallS_v0.24b.cab" but nothing happened.

About "My Location". I live in Serres Greece and this city isnt in data base of Weather Cities, I cannot find my city even with manual search. I try a cab file from Panosha, this file add all the greek cities in manilla, but nothing happened again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KayK:
Just wondering if you have select the right profile when using HDwalls? Also, did you change the registry key for the home tab?

I can't help you much as i'm not using version 3.0, i'm still using 2.8.1, but i have no problem at all using HDwalls to change the background for all tabs and also the slider icons...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] karhariasgr:
Right profile? Where I can use this? When I start HDwalls nothing happens again :/

No, I do not change anything from registry.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KayK:
when you run HDWall.exe on your PC, go to Config and select the appropriate profile, which should be Manila 2.1 with compression (or something like like), and set it as default. Next create the cab using the image you wanted. Then, installed the cab. I would suggest you remove all the previous background for all tabs add-on that you have installed.

Quoted from HDWalls thread:

the registry i mentioned is stated at the last entry...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LoopyLoo:
I'd like that please!

:D

And with as many 3.0 bug fixes as you can manage would be even more appreciated.

Hi kwbr

Your Topix 3.0 is the best for me (weather under clock too), but I found one problem(?): comm manager, despite close it by X-button or "Exit", still working in background, see it in task manager. Any bug?

Bug report : After 30mn - 1h of internet sharing with 3.0 the phone freeze. I did a soft reset with the red button but impossible to boot (stay blocked on black screen with red rom radio information, rom name and one other line).

After that, internet share has no problem. But hd response

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
HQWallpaperPatch does not work on the Manila with the weather on the homepage. To get background on all tabs, just use the PC application to create it.

And as everybody knows, french peoples just can't speak english :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] adeon78:
haha.... When I say that, I mean that's not my native language so it's possible (sure!) that I will make some mistakes. So my post will probably look like sms chat for english people and I apologize in advance for the inconvenience.

But please back to the subject, my reply is as useless as your post and it won't help kwbr in his work.

So if some people have experienced the same bug or a similar bug with internet sharing, post it here, maybe someone or kwbr will have clue for solve it.

ENLARGED SMS FONT in Manila sms tab

if you hate the small and thin font in manila sms tab, this is the answer, I found in Topaz Thread, working perfectly in Manila 2.1.19182825.6.

Make a backup first of the same Manila file using total commander, then unzip the file in windows directory still using total commander.

Voila!! happiness! you can take your glasses off now and marvel at the FAT and BIG fonts LOL:D

just found this a pot of gold courtesy of Yerlan who made the cab file!

Thanks Kwbr for your hard work, your ROMs are really great.

Topic 3.0 with manila 2.1 with weather on homescreen is amazing and I like it, but is sad, that update weather is possible only over wifi, not over GPRS :(

Q: Is there a solution how to get update over GPRS?

Hero theme is nice for me :)

But I have one big issue for me (sorting SMS in manila sms and classic windows sms). I like threaded SMS so I have enable threaded SMS in classic windows sms. Every time when I am flashing a new ROMs, I am doing backup my sms via Jeyo Mobile Companion 2.1 and then restore back to HD. Always sms to appear in the correct order, but in the Topic are newer sms on the top of conversation and older sms are down...so at first I see old sms and if I want to see newer sms I have to scroll to the top :mad: (in classic windows sms and manila sms too). When I get a new sms, sms in the classic window appears correctly at the end of conversation, but as the oldest text message. (not before that what was until then the new one). In Manila threaded sms is correctly placed after the last recent SMS, but appears again on the top of conversation.

In other ROM I haven't this problem. (Dutty, Laurentius26, Miri, NRG etc..) Please try to solve this problem. Topic would be the best Rom 6.1! Thanks

I hope you understand my problem and I apologize for my bad English.

Thanks!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] caldo:
I noticed that in this rom is used Rilphone.dll v. 1.14..
