Dial from contacts or call history

@kwbr

First of all thanks for all your efforts and time in creating a great rom.

I just noticed one problem:

Cannot dial from contacts or call history. I restored my contacts via Microsoft outlook calendar/contacts and I am using Topix 2.2.

I have read on several previous posts that this is also the case, I can confirm this behavior.

thanks for your help
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
Same issue here. Restored my contacts with active sync.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Can somebody tell me how to change the pagepool?

Thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
This may be the case, but the Blackstone dialer is much more snappy, smooth and responsive.

I also like the absence of haptic feedback.

Using the dialpad is great. No lag at all.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
Downlod the pagepool changer from here

Open Pagepool changer and choose the rom file you whant to change.

You will see what poolsize it has, and you just tick the poolsize you want.

Save or OK ( I don't remember)

Then Flash it.

Dialing problem

Same problem here ! Cannot dial from Manila Favorites and from call history... I'll try a pagepool change... :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
Changing Pagepool will not help you in this issue.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ati75:
I have the same issue with not being able to call a number from call history. Did my backup and restore with sbpbackup, but only restored my contacts and text messages. Apart from this issue, this rom seem fast and solid. If the call history problem could be solved, i'd be a happy camper once again. Thanks for all the work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vapika:
Thanks, I know it, but will give it a try -till Kwbr gives the solution... Very fast and smooth ROM, Thanks again Kwbr !

Filicloe.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
As I figured, the problem of not calling from Favorites and Call History tabs of 'Call History' option, has nothing to do with restoring or not the contacts. It happens even if I do not previous restore any contacts...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ALF@be:
same issue for me...:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] filicloe:

Same issue. :(

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kekecu:
Same issue here.

I must admit that I was complainig over the Topaz dialer as it was conflicting ChangeScreen and TICST. This issue can be solved (and now we know how - solution is few posts back) and therefore only one thing left that I don't like about Topaz is curtain.

However, comparing Topaz dialer with Blackstone's one... Topaz is eyecandy, has option to reject call with message (without message editing/appearing) and haptic feedback.

According to my personal preferences Blackstone dialer is a little step back. Also it has this call history issue wich needs to be resolved. Therefore I would consider to swop the Topaz dialer back.

My first impressions about 2.2 - Rom is smooth and solid. Changing pagepool to 16 makes my HD really responsive and fast. Thanks kwbr!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alper1:
I can also confirm that via ''All people'' i can't make calls. Maybe the Blackstone HTC dialer is causing this problem...... I Hope KWBR will fix this soon.v:rolleyes:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
+1!!! I totally agree with you
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hashimto:
its the same here ... can't dail from people tab

ah.. by the way can you fixe also the notification issue (when get notifiction from pro. like im+ with new message i cant open the program from notification window it self)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
wow the new beta of opera mobile is really making me addicted to it. would be really good to have it in the ROM.. or?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Yeah I like the topaz dialer & the topaz camera as well...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Ok guys, thanks for your feedback. Indeed dialing from the manila contactlist is not possible. I am testing the rhodium dialer at the moment so this will probably replace the blackstone dialer. I will also set the pagepool size to 16mb, don't complain about a loss of a few mb's ram though :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
Thanks kwbr... Will it be possible to have the new ROM tonight?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
nobody should complain because you really will feel it (16) :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
I have noticed two main issues... U cannot call some1 directly from the manilla contacts & opera freezes at times...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
New version will be up tonight.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
I would like to say, that in my opinion it is better to have the original sensorsdk and a working flipit. Even if Topaz camera is a little better, HD's camera has the very convenience zooming function, and we have to remember that HD's main function is not as camera but as a multipurpose phone device. Thanks again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
I guess a better camera is more important than rotation of favourites...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
You see, it is very hard to fulfill everybodies needs :)

A rotation app is handy for those not used to editting the registry. So back to normal. New camera is in again and flipit is out. Search a working rotation app (as far as I know no one works perfect with the new sensorsdk). Replaced topaz dialer with rhodium dialer. So in the end we get a faster topix version 2.1 with rhodium dialer ;) forget version 2.2 :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Lol... True... So when can we expect this new ROM bro?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Lol... True... So when can we expect this new ROM bro?! I love the battery management in ur ROMs. Topaz Vanilla Series has won my heart already... And now the Topix series... I love the long battery life in ur ROMs with every functionality working properly...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I will install the new Opera and give it a try for a couple of days. I read there are still some known issues. See if we can sort that out.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
Hi Kwbr,

Can you put HTC's call recorder to the rom and the right-softkey > record option?

He could fix the sms bug in manila 2.1 Could you speak with him and include 2.1 again please? :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Sure, I am working on a personal build with manila 2.1 from an official rhodium rom with the new Opera anyway :)

Damn, I am sitting on that for already a week. It is from the latest 1.19 rhodium rom:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]

"Version"="2.1.38158.2"

Someone willing to test?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
i could test it but not yet (girl friend is at home.. .. ), tomorrow morning?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Sure lazy.

Can we swap the test objects :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
I would be happy to test but that won't help you because I didn't have the SMS issue on 2.0 RC1 with Manila 2.1 either.

I'll just stick with the dutch topaz port for now, still loving it :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
hm.. thats a good hint, i never had the sms bug in 2.1.. so its maybe not good when i will test it and say its working, because it worked with my device?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] narlytom:
hey, does that mean we could be looking at opera 9.7 cooked in sometime soon; that would be amazing!

great job with all the work you put in, really appreciated
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tongphan:
hi kwbr how can i disable the auto rotation on manila thanks on
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
I don't mind testing, I had the SMS Manila bug on your last 2.1 release. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] crashDebug:
just my 2 cents, i am on 2.2 and i really love it. phone does not heat up anymore like in 1.6.1 and speed is just overwhelming (pagepool set to 16 though). I can say it's the best rom i have flashed to my phone till now.

that said, all the remaining stuff is up to personal taste, I don't use flipit and i HATE landscape manila so i would rather use topaz camera, but I like the new start menu so I would not switch to manila 2.1, and i dont call people from call log so i am not bothered by which dialer is installed, and..... and.... and......

in other words: I will flash roms according to my taste and will never request anything, if good old kwbr releases a rom that doesnt suit mi taste i will wait for another release :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] derstandard:
thanx for this rom (bought it friday ;) ) i´ve found a bug:

when i customized the order of TF3D-Tabs the Weather Tab causes a crash of TF3D ;( any solution ?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
I like to test it for a week :) I also have no sms bug now but i don't send a lot of sms, maybe 1-2 in a month :D

I think new startmenu should also work on that manila.

One question, if we just copy the files for the new manila 2.1 to a rom, should it work or it needs to be cooked in?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] troxter:
Hello. Everything is good. But one question. How to disable auto rotation screen. I would like to manual rotate by long pressing answer button.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tongphan:
yes i would like to know to
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hrcro:
Me too! It seems that G-Sensor prog is missing.

You can try to change this reg setting:

hkcu\software\htc\htcsensor\gsensor\autorotation=0 (default is 1)

btw you make best rom' s! Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] troxter:
Thanks for that. Now rom is perfect!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tongphan:
please help i cant find the autorotation under reg setting thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonydesouza:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
kwbr,

I would also like to see the updated Opera and Manila 2.1.

I tried this ROM http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=124563 a while ago, and SMS worked just fine from Manila 2.1. This is just a WWE ROM with Russian regional settings.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
I don't use this Rom version, but look for kwbr's posted settings for rotation, and find a way to stop autorotation.

Then:

HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI and change the value to 0. No soft reset required. Just go to Settings - Buttons and find the "Rotate Screen"
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
For my part, I have all the bugs people speak about here, without any 3dparty:

SMS notification doesn't dissapear when read

Can't call from Favorites

Can't call from All People

I have to use Phone/History to make a call

-> back to 2.2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
These problems were caused by the blackstone dialer in version 2.2 and should be gone in the latest release 2.2.1. Are you sure you are running 2.2.1?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
Thanks for this forum :) I didn't know before.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ati75:
Thats what i was thinking. Using 2.2.1 atm and no problems. Disabled autorotation via the registry, installed changescreen, and now everything is like i want it to be. Excellent work!

Dialer Types

Hi to all on this forum!

Could somebody kindly post, or provide links to, screen shots of the Blackstone, Rhodium and Topaz Dialer screens please?

I hear so many references to them but have no idea how to tell them apart!

Many thanks,

LL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Blackstone dialer is what you have on a stock ROM on the Touch HD.

Topaz and Rhosium dialers are actually the same (for screenshots, look at other ROM threads here), but the Rhodium one has a conference call button in the lower right corner instead of the backspace button which the Topaz one has.

Backspace on the Rhodium is located in the area where you can see the number, which you are typing (input area) :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Hi kwbr,

Just a humble question, can u compare between the battery lives on your Topix 2.2.1 and the latest Topaz Vanilla Final ROMs. ? Thanks in advance..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stonedge:
vanilla got better battery lives than topix
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Yeah even I thought so... Just wanted to have more opinion on this... Cheers mate...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kekecu:
I think version 2.0 had best battery life so far. My early estimaion is thaht battery in versions 2.2.1 and 2.2 lasts 10% less time than in 2.0. But this is just estimation. I have to use rom for few more days to get realistic picture.

Comparing v2.2 and 2.2.1 (both with poolpage 16mb) I noticed that 2.2 is a litle bit more responsive (however, version 2.2.1 is also fast and responsive). Does any one has such experience?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kekecu:
Regarding the battery life in general, kwbr's rom have best battery management comparing with many other roms from this forum that I already tested.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
Yes I'm. I have changed pagepool to 16mb with the proggy, but i think it doesn't interfer with this issue.

Gonna flash again...

EDIT: what is the best rom radio fitting this 2.2.1 ROM plz? Mean what should be the best one?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LoopyLoo:
OK...

Except I'm trying DamnSmallTopix 0v5 right now and it has a dark hood/cover effect over the dial pad... What dialer is that? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
That's the Topaz one. Sorry, I just forgot to mention this difference, the stupid blinds, which the Rhodium doesn't have.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I used 1.14 for several weeks and it worked great with the rom. I use 1.13 now for about a week and get also very good results with this radio. The 1.14 radio causes the device to heatup slighty which I do not experience with radio 1.13. Both radio's give me good reception (I use gsm and gps).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I don't follow the whole battery discussion. All these roms have the same base (xip and sys) as well as the same battery tweaks. They differ in performance tweaks and customization. In the end the roms have a way better battery usage then a stock rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I am running manila 2.1 from the latest rhodium rom now for a day and can't see any difference with manila 2.0. The manila 2.1 from the t-mobile did have some nice tweaks like connection messsages in the top curtain area.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tongphan:
kwbr i would like to use the blackstone dialer on your rom i did searched but cant find the cab would you mind please share the cab thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
if you had actually read the previous posts you would find that it didn't work correctly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
You don't see. I will do :)

In 2.1, you don't have to press "Shift" in "All contacts" to search for contact names, which are stored in Cyrillic.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
And there are small down arrows in the music player in genres and in artists. Or was it here before, in manila 2.0 too? + more program shortcuts
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I guess I am a regular user :) I still can't see any difference, maybe because I don't use Cyrillic ;)

Is it really worth upgrading to manila 2.1? We now have the following improvements (which are not quite shocking :D):

Search contacts in Cyrillic is easier.

Small down arrows in musicplayer.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Why NOT upgrade to 2.1?

2.0 has some real disadvantages like:

Search contacts in Cyrillic is more difficult.

No small down arrows in musicplayer.

;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
I'm still using Topix 2.0 Manila 2.1 now :D

Is it possible to make a cab from manila 2.1? Or it's better to be cooked in?:)

By the way, i can make the 2.0 manila to look like 2.1 tmobile with just changing the pictures :)

Can somebody upload the manila 2.0 files so i can make it for those who like the new skin but don't like 2.1 or have sms bug.(i don't want to upgrade rom just to get the files) :)

Kwbr, have you tried the new startmenu cab in the rom what you are using now? Is it working?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hehe, LOL. There is an issue with start menu in manila 2.1 I have to sort out before I will release it. The start menu freezes. Have to find out if it is cfc or something else. I also would like to re-use some elements of the t-mobile manila like notifications in the upper curtain.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I created the cab with the start menu fix for manila 2.0. I tested this a while ago and it worked with topix 1.6.1. Have not tried it later. But hey, what is the big deal. If it does not work remove it :)

I am not sure if creating a cab for manila will work. It will be huge (with cfc 25MB, uncompressed 37MB!).

By the way, the manila 2.1 from rhodium might not have the sms bug. I can not test this because it works just fine with Dutch providers (I didn't have the problem with the 2.1 TMOB rom either).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tigo30:
In manila 2.1 the programs tab (or new htc sart menu) has 30 spots to place shorcuts instead of 24 in manila 2.0. I think this is a very useful improvement.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
You can easily do this in manila 2.0 by adding these registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher]
"totalItemCount"=dword:1E
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\24]

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
I see now :D I hope you can find the way to do these :)

The newest rhodium manila is not T-mobile?

'Notifications in the upper curtain' <- Home.mode9 maybe? (1c684cd8_manila)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
Can we add more working shortcuts than 30? I made a registry key with 31 and it appears in the programs tab but unusable.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Will test this tomorrow :) Laterzzzz

For all searching the best radio for this rom ( my opinion only)

==============================================

So far Radio 1.13.25.24 proved to be the best as concerns life battery, connectivity and functionality for roms 1.56 and higher. Some users reported bad experience with BS_Rilphone.dll_1.13.25.24 as posted in wiki http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466274. Herebelow I attach proven workin rilphone.dll. If admins think it is worth taking, then they may attach it to wiki.

Instructions for apply:

- After flash and hard reset, DL Rilphone.dll_1.13.25.24 attached below and put it in win directory.

- Turn off yr phone.

- Go to bootloader mode with tricolor screen.

- Insert yr usb and wait for respective "usb" sign on yr phone

- Run Custom ruu with respective radio nbh. file

- After flashing radio no need for HR.

Enjoy
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
What notifications were there? I don't remember seeing any.

I do know that with the dutch topaz rom I get "Wi-Fi: Connecting" (yes, why is this in english when the rest of the rom isn't?) in upper curtain when I turn on W-LAN and go to the home screen.

So I wouldn't be suprised if you already have that in there.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Did you try to add a program AFTER THAT? :) You can tap the newly added vacant positions, you can pick a program then from the list, but when you go back, you see that nothing has been added.

Using the Gsensor setting does not work because it forces all programs that arent in the whitelist to be in normal mode.

kwbr,

Where are you? Preparing to unleash the updated beast soon? ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] skyli91:
I found a way to have more WORKING shortcuts in programs tab/ new startmenu.

First you have to modify the registry key what is 1E for 30 shortcuts. I change it to 22 what means 33 shortcuts. Then you make the folders in the registry (30,31,32) and then make the shortcuts in the manila in the original, old icon places. After that just copy the registry folder's registry stuff to one of the new shortcut folder and then restart touchflo and delete the old shortcut.

Here is the proof, believe me it works :) (Sorry for you who don't understand my english, it's not perfect :D)

Edit: How can i change the Settings link to go to ALL SETTINGS instead of the setting tab in manila?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Working on some idea's at the moment. I will add rotation toggle as long press key. So autorotation is disabled by default and you can hold the call button to rotate the screen. Furthermore I am testing a new sensorsdk so enable/disable in manila settings will work. Still working on manila 2.1 and testing some new browsers (Opera 9.7 and Iris).
