Which (if any) Radio verion is best suited to Topix ROMS?

I use Topix 3.0.2. Until now, I have used it with radio 1.13.25.24 (which I think I ended up with after flashing Laurentius26 THDV3.55). I noticed the other day after an hour on Tomtom that my device was quite hot.

I have now changed the radio to 1.17.25.09 to see if there will be any difference.

I was originally under the impression that you choose your radio by your location in the World, as opposed to what ROM you are using. However, I am reading a lot recently to suggest that some ROMS work better with specific radios?

For example, Topix ROMS have 1.14 rilphone cooked in and I have read that radio 1.17.25.09 works well with this RIL, yes?

Is there anyone from the UK using Topix 3.0.2 who has noticed any benefit from using a particular radio?

Thanks,

Mattster.

Perfect!. Is that what you wanted. Thank you very much.

My English is bad!.

Another thing:

At the start screen when the weather is sunny, manila moves slower.

Solution?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
This is the Sense 2.1 weather animation, it lasts for about 5 seconds.

If you want to disable it, go to Manila Settings Tab and change your Wallpaper to a non-default one (i.e. one you have stored).

Or, if you just want the weather and no animation ever, flash Topix 3.0.1

Hope this helps,

Mattster.

what is the actual password of 6.1?

"topix version 3.1.2" is not right one

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chicow:
After a few days on 3.4.3, I'm back on 3.4.2, has caused some delays and bugs that I didn't have at all with the previous one, but other bugs in common, as in the camera: the icon "envelope", to send the photo via mms or email doesn't work in the camera?

Everything else is incredibly smooth and I get a 2 days of battery life with 3G, using some GPS etc. .. Excellent!

2 configuration issues, however: how to have 4 icons in width in the Start Menu of WM 6.5? And there he is still no solution for the time and battery in the taskbar? I recently saw on the wiki a screenshot with these 2 things in the taskbar, is that it was a fake, or a new version of WM?

Thank you again!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] madbiker:
Look here www(dot)zuinigerijder.com/BattClock.html and download from the download section version 1.6. After install just open for the configuration app named battconfig.

Which bugs and delays did you have? Thanks

Wow, here is the greatest news for today: Topix 3.4.4 is up.

It's been fantastic and fautless for me with Topix 3.4.3. Still I will update my HD to 3.4.4. So downloading...

Best regards to kwbr and your love.

Happy weekend to you guys.

BTW,

does anyone still have the link for 3.4.3, please?

I just delete it carelessly.You know, I want a full collection of topix series. Thanks

Hi kwbr,

I'm using you 3.0.2 rom and I also have a touch diamond where I used the Gen.y rom with HTC Sense v2.1 VGA (by kimi_sae_ireba). The weather is working fine with 3G so you don't have to use Wifi for location. Above all that the gen.y rom is pretty fast in the diamond. Maybe you didn't know of this rom and is it possible to use some things for the HD rom to work with weather location...

What happened to volume control?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MaximilianPs:
any chance to have the manila 2.5 documents tab ? :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
If the ROM you have is v3.1.2 then that will be correct (it was when I tried it the other week).

If you're trying an older version of the wm6.1 ROM, then it will be "topix version 3.0.2" for v3.0.2 and so on.

This should do you - it's the same link as the new version, just with the version changed to the older one - kwbr keeps a collection on his webhost too!

I would guess that you'd need manila 2.5 to get that...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xiaoyangde:

Hey Jonifen,

I notice you're on 02 and in the UK.

I see you're on radio 1.14.25.24. Have you tried radio 1.17.25.09 yet?

Is there any hope for new 6.1 versions? It seems that you are frustrated with the current situation.

Really expect it after flashed so many ROMs, the Topix 6.1 series still are the best for daily use, stable fast and flawless.

Whatever you will update it or not, thanks for your contribution! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
Hi Mattster,

Yeah I tried it a few months back with Topix 3.3 but I found the signal wasn't as strong where I live (Heywood, Lancs) plus it chewed my battery a bit more so I changed back.

Hi, I am using Topix 3.4.4, it is very good.

But the unlock screen was slow to unlock. I need to wait for few second before it can let me unlock the phone. Is it me or anyone have this problem?

or is there a cab to fix this?

Also, what is a good software to view chinese traditional font? I have been searching for long time and couldn't find the answer. I only found ce-star is not good because it will mess up the phone.

Thanks.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
Such a shame, but I can understand the frustration of kwbr. When you're at the top, you're a target... and in a forum as big as xda-developers you're always going to find egocentrical idiots who make you wonder why the hell you bother.

Best of luck kwbr - with a bit of luck you'll take some time out, have a rest and then true appreciators of your work will hear from you in the future.

Mattster.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Semicuda:
It really is a shame, and unfortunately there was a steep increase of this egocentrical, demanding, customer-like type of person in the past few months. Most likely due to the proliferation of smartphones since the rise of the iphone... I know this may sound harsh, but even I personally know quite a few peeps who are like that: without the slightest clue in regards to the whole matter (which of course isn't a bad thing in itself) and completely oblivious to the concept of education.

Most people who have been around here for a while took their time to read the essential stickies, scoop up bits of info here and there and actually enjoyed finding out stuff by themselves. But this new breed of users who can't be bothered to read a few pages back in a release thread, use the search function or even read the flash-howto, is surely going to take this whole community down bit by bit.

Instead, cooks are being flamed to hell and back for (sometimes tiny) bugs or even clear cases of user error. "Is there a fast and bug free ROM with Manila 2.5 that is as fast as 2.1?" are popping up left and right, demanding, in a tone which wouldn't even suit a support forum of a commercial product, stuff from people who are just doing their work for free.

Anyone who ever has tried cooking their own ROM will know it's more than a metric sh*tload of work even getting just the most simple stuff right and can just sit there wondering how many cooks will follow kwbr in the next few weeks... I try to share every bugfix/workaround that I discover, only to find someone just one page ahead asking the same thing again and again. I can only imagine how our cooks are feeling.

I for one am really sorry about the whole situation, because it's actually a few guys who are ruining it for everyone here.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lelo4ever:
Its very sad... i hope u can reconsider and left behind all the BS some people insist to do...

I'll be honest to you... I've tried lots of roms... but the only ones that made me happy with my Touch HD were yours and Dutty's...

When Dutty's left the Touch HD Scene, I was kind of upset cuz there was no WM 6.5 ROMs that suited my tastes and at the time there was only the TOPIX WM 6.1 version available...

But when you started cooking WM6.5 versions everything was fine once more... cuz your ROMs were always fast and stable... the way i liked... and I kept flashing only to keep my phone updated with your ROMs...

What I'm trying to tell is... there is always people who respect and appreciate your work... but there is always some egocentric people who thinks they're better than everyone else... Don't let yourself down cause of these people... remember that what you do here is for everyone who shares the same taste as you... not the other way around...

I wish you all the best... Thanks for everything!... And I really hope you come back to where you belong... the ROM scene!...

It seems that a few people on these forums have upset kwbr.

Forums all over the internet are full of individuals who think they can say or do what they like, anonymity being there cowardice, but really as we are all guilty of focusing on the negative and bad we forget and dis guard the positive, which usually out ways 10:1, which is most definitely the case in this situation.

Read the positive, take on board the criticisms and ignore the obtuse comments...and come back to us:)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Obviously its not great news to read kwbrs decision to stop producing roms. But I hope he will still continue to be an active member at XDA.

@ Kwbr - I've sent you a PM explaining a few other things
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Eriol:
1st, as far as I understand kwbr is not leaving the "Blackstone" but decided not to provide his ROM's (not limited to Blackstone, but including Leo) on xda-developers. I agree that with regard to Blackstone, we can absolutely not afford to loose a chief. Anyone who supports our device is welcome, but kwbr is a multiple star chief.

I was wondering for quite a while ... There was a discussion in numerous postings about a request for a 6.1 ROM (instead of 6.5 ROM). I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS!!! This is really a decision of a cook whether to stay with 6.1 or cook for 6.5. You can install any older 6.1 ROM and install more recent APPS. So what??? Do not use a thread about a 6.5 ROM to discuss (on pages and pages and pages) a 6.1 ROM that is not developed anymore!!! And don't be sad: Just keep on using the existing ones; they are EXCELLENT!!! MS does not provide 6.1 any longer as well ...

I flashed 3.4.4 yesterday, obviously just in time before the shut down ... I really hope that we can find kwbr somewhere else, or that kwbr will keep developing and may be providing some of his great work through a different source or other poeple around here.

I also think that there is a need for some guidelines of behaviour and expectations in these forums. Normally, I would say that some people should meet "face to face" to discuss this, which is not possible. I think that we have a lack of communicating things; and of course there is the problem that it is always easy to write a short posting and claming that "I require this or that app, could you cook it in?" or "this does not work" (while it works for everyone else).

Concluding, I would not like to say "good bye" to kwbr, but rather hope that we can all find a way to improve communication, requests and fairness.

Cheers,

Eriol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
Topix

I agree with you in most parts.

Many people ask for a new 6.1 rom when there's no new packages to build from. This is annoying for all, and of course for kwbr.

We must not forget that this thread started as a thread for 6.1 rom, and many of us still prefer 6.1, even if the newer 6.5 roms from kwbr runs excelent.

Let's just hope he will cook roms in the future, regardless of what WM device he might have then.

That said, you can still download his latest 6.1 and 6.5 builds from his signature "The Boiler" . Download the corresponding .txt file, and it has a link for download, still working.

Hey guys! I have topix 3.4.1 - absolutely love it - will miss your roms

Quick question to any expert (or rather im a bit of a noob) - how can I enable landscape not only on TF3D? I installed Dutty's Enable Landscape and that worked but only in Manila - I want it to work for standard sms and s2u2 for example as well without installing a program like gyrator cause i never got the hang of that program

Thank you very much kwbr

Dear kwbr,

I start to install cook rom since Dec 2008 and the 1st rom that I ever try is Dutty's rom. I'm very happy with Dutty work.

Then I came across many many cook ie. Laurentius, Miri etc... and I tried

every rom from different cook.

Other people have their own taste, so do I. Then I tried your rom and wow, your wm6.5 is as good as Dutty if not better. And I can say (at least for myself) that your wm6.1 topix has got no competition at all (currently I'm using kwbr topix 3.1.2) and intend to keep it as long as I can.

There will always be a critic and for every 1 critic, I believe there are 1 thousand who admire your work.

Truely respect your decision (with heavy heart) and wish you all the best in your future undertaking.

Your big fan,

Danny
