Hey dude,

(Cant wait for that;))
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
MMMMMM?????

Noobs here!!!! so lets help him i would try a little...

Well men! always a designer is welcome here on XDA cause many improvements have been make from photoshop designers... I recomend you to go to the development and hacking subforum to see how you can contribute for the forum.

Trying to install a new OS on your phone is like change from XP to Vista on your desktop PC but with a little problem you need to lost your void warranty to the trash when the unlock process finish! (:rolleyes: no problem for me BTW) so I recomend you to go to the upgrading topic and see the unlocking process by POF or OLIPRO what ever works well, read a lot men!!!! any trouble dont doubt on ask before do anything stupid.

Hey josh I heard some people has the new Manilla 2D version 2.0 in Wizard Forum... maybe I can ask for it.

YouTube Player

Josh,

You don't happen to have a link to the .cab used for your YouTube player. It works great and I could never find that cab
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Try the HTC youtube player by nooski

Enter to my cab folder on "MY Skydrive" pict signature. maybe it works well i thin is the same version. or try the COREPLAYER there too... it has a youtube search engine and player streaming.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
new manilla you say huh? i'll go and see it.

still waiting on abusalza for the new build.. he was going to upload for me when he has a better connection. i do have a stable 21109 but want the new graphics from his build.. good things come to those who wait ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Jejeje!

I cant wait to see that new UI... (well at least new pics or notification icons..) :eek:

So, which will be the name for the next one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
technically V15 is the next as it is my 15t build but i'm still looking around for some things to put in and some different names.. some people didn't like the darkness part of my latest winter rom so i'm not sure man :) personally i love dark creepy pictures :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
YOU are right!

It gives LIFE to the plain Windows mobile UI...

Near here is a guy that knows about photoshop... maybe he can helps to get new icons or something but he dont knows nothing obuot the images that Winmo use... he satrt a thread called "Hi there... new backgrounds" jajaja Lol no new background BTW maybe he can aports new job on design.

see you later men!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Later dude, i think my next rom will be a manilla2d build and a naked build :) we'll see what i can do. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
Great!!

Well I think you have done a great Job on this! Im on peace with this ROM build ported from blackstone... congrats this is how it looks like.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
Dude, your darkness winter theme & graphics are creative & awesome!

Looking forward to your V15 creativity!! Peace...

edit: oh the trippy thing on my phone that was happening was the ribbon cable was loose from the motherboard.. all fixed now though ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sapphire_pro:
Congrats to your new beta, works perfect!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] echodun:
FWIW, the youtube player causes a "cannot play this video" error message. The Coreplayer worked, but required a serial number or id after the first use. I found another version, .5 I believe, that works good. Not the same as the youtube player contained in this ROM, but I guess it will have to do.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Packrat:
I still have problems with WMDC connecting.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:

Hi joshua,,,

I flashed the 21109 rom test ,,, it's really fast and stable ,,, no bothering issues till now ,,, almost prefect I'll test it more and see.

BTW, why don't you include the Touch Scroll ability to your roms ?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks for the feedback dude!!

To answer your question, because this is usually a preference that some people don't like.. i dunno, i'll see if i can get the one i use built in :)

Love yr ROM, thx!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hemendra05:
Hi Josh!

Just flashed your V15 ultra Light 21109 Rom.

Good to see that you have got rid of those extra 15-16 MB used space.

Like the new set of icons !! Nice to have connection /Network Wizard inbuilt in the ROM.

ROM is very fast.

But I liked the fonts on V14 than those used in this ROM.

BTW which version of Camera is there in this Rom . It doesnt seem to be working for me. The hardware button 5 shortcut also doesn't show camera shortcut for button 5.

Will continue to test today......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hemendra05:
After trying Ultralight, I tried my hands on the full version...seems to be fast & stable as the light version.

But Josh there is small issue with the Camera (shortcut & key) . Camera is functional if opened form file exploer from /windows directory but there is somthing wrong with the short cut placed under Programs/Multimedia as well as the Camera Hardware key.

Hope Josh will be able to fix it before final version.

Secondaly once again the fonts would have been better.( Atleast like V13 or V14)

Is there any fix for screen brightness (like the one DVH's ROM have) not the superbright application. PV, DVH's ROM does have very goog screen brightnress by default ( I mean with 50 setting it is very sharp & bright.

Josh can you add the latest WKtask version (V1202) in this full ROM?

Further testing is in progress.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 756:
Hi)

flashed 21109 Lite ROM. very nice, fa st and stable. About camera, i've just made a shortcut to camera.exe and assigned it with camera button. everything works.

Josh, on sapphire ROM i have ~31mb RAM free after SR. but this darkwinter has only 26-27mb free. why?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
Thanks for the analasys, i'll get that repaired before the final, and clean up more space :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] saawan:
is it possible to have all dialog boxes closed when they are clicked anywhere. i like this feature from the latest pdaviet roms and the one from tai_sw.

in their roms there is no boundary arround the "X" button so you can close the dialog boxes by just pressing them anywhere.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bergerac56:
Hi Josh,

Could it be possible to have a 3G version? Thanks a lot
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
sure can!! I'll get that with the final 21109 builds, also gonna be a m2d build :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] nurkamol:
Thanks to you for this all ROMs

Hi Josh, thanks to you for cooked all ROMs for us.

I'll be waiting next releases!

Thanks to you again & again!

U r Cool Man Josh.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] piotrv:
The DarkWinter WinterRom has become my favorite to replace Schap's which I have been using for ages. Fast, stable and memory friendly.

Thanks heaps for all the effort and work you put into it!

Small bug I guess:

I cannot select the Wireless LAN settings from the Communications page.

Phone and Bluetooth settings work fine.

I just do not like the M2D roms

I believe the whole 2/3D touch hype is more eye candy than of any practical use, eating memory. The Hermes is not an iphone anyway

So please maintain the Winterrom without m2d or at least give us an option not to use it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bteljuice:
waiting for light version also :)

PS: I'm blaming you and your roms ;) for making me a flash freak. I just cant help it, whenever a new build comes out, I HAVE TO FLASH IT. HAHAHA. Keep up the good work buddy :D

You have A special unique touch !

You're rom is a kind of UNBELIEVABLE perfection.... God bless you.

Joshua ,,,, can you play a little be with the rom to make them booting faster ?!

May be some modules don't have to start up with windows booting !!

when I use a software called SafeMode ,, My device BOOT incredibly quick..

Another issue some original rom help files are useless and I think deleting them is gonna give us a little bit more free space :)

anyhow you're roms are the best regarding all aspects....

I'm plannig to get kaiser and I think I gonna give up this planning unless you quit hermes rom cooking or moving to cook kaiser roms :D ( Just Joking ).

PEACE

new Manila2D

Hi Josh,

I noticed you have posted Perfect_Manilla2d. Is it using the new version of M2d? If so, did you notice any differences between it and the last version? Will there be a new thread for it? Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] boniek:
Hi

I've got a question. If I want to flash Your lite rom should I flash the shipped one before it (I have CRC now) and later each time before flashing next release of Your rom?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] afr33s:
Network setup wizard... or not!

Hi Josh. Just trying your M2D 3G beta ROM. I'm getting into the eye-candy side possibilities of the Hermes. It's the first ROM of yours I've tried. VERY nice. The 21109 base (if that's what it is using) seems very fast.

I notice no auto network setup feature, that the other ROMs I've tried have, that starts up when you first boot. Is this normal for your ROMs or a decision you have made for this one?

I've been using and testing M2D ROMS by TAI-Sw recently and between you you have all the basic problems and features beat. For example TAI-Sw has got the RSS feed on the Internet Tab working but it's missing on yours. Whereas you've got funky vibro-feedback going on when from the touch screen and your "all programs" soft key on the Programs tab works and the music player / music tab is pretty stable. All Excellent stuff for usability.

Two of my preferences in other ROMs over this one is not having the thin battery bar along the top (bit of overkill with such a bright battery icon underneath) and the presence of the HTC x-button thing rahter than the icons in the upper bar (which can make it a bit messy with text partly over written) but these are obviously personal more-or-less cosmetic choices rather that functional ones.

Looking forward to seeing the final release of this... would enjoy using it even if nothing changes from now! Nice work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] afr33s:
mm/dd/yy not dd/mm/yy

Hi Josh (or any other clever person)...

While I'm at it... the home screen of the M2D ROM has the date shown as mm/dd/yy despite the device being set to UK style dd/mm/yy. Is there a fix/option somewhere to change this. My poor brain finds it hard to cope with today being 1st July :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
yo man! thanks for the awesome feedback! i appreciate the support! honestly i know of the autoconnect feature but havent been able to get it to work. i need to get a oem with this working!

on the battery bar, this is built in with wktask and you can disable by click holding on top left corner, then hitting preferences, then in there is a option to uncheck. RSS is in the connections or multimedia folders i forget, but it should work :) just not linked to m2d yet!! these are beta's and i think so far the best i've done!! Appreciate it, Peace! i'll release the production version soon with these all fixed. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
it is correct on mine?? check your settings, system tab, regional settings :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] afr33s:
dd/mm or mm/dd

Regional setting set to UK dd/mm/yy

Today screen US mm/dd/yy

!?

.. and you mean click hold top right of the screen for settings... I know you're testing me to see how stoopid I can be ;-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] joshkoss:
I'm sorry for the stupid question :) but have you soft reset since adjusting the settings?? as mine are fine :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] afr33s:
Yep. Done soft reset. Your 01/07/09 means 1st January to me! see my screens in re-edited post above.

Hi joshkoss!

I would like to try out your new rom. Currently using your v8b2 and really like it. Though I am having some sync issues. Would like to try out this rom. I assume I should first flash the standard ATT rom, and then do this one? Or should it be ok to just go straight to this one?

Love to see the enthusiasm you have for this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edward-riko:
