If any HQWallpaper patch is working with CookieMonsters Mod then you can probably say that it has some advantages. Otherwise MaxManila has way too much functionality than any one mod to compare it with or even come close.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] martijn.vandam:
Tnx Kwbr 4 all your fantastic roms. I have almost tried every rom of all the different chefs the last year but Ill eventually always flash back to your roms.

I am really impressed with the 3.5/6.1/weather rom. I consider this the best Blackstone rom until so far.

keep up the good work!

Max Manila 3.0

Yes, try to copy and replace the attached dll (unzip first) to \Windows\ atfer installing Max Manila 3.0.

Disable Sense first, and use Total Commander, then enable Sense, and see if it worked.

This file is needed because of the cfc compressed manila files in Topix.

Thanks to the moderator with the funny name.

Anyway, is it only me, or do you miss the Total Commander plugins, LAN, FTP and Registry ?

Needed to reinstall CM to get it.

Edit: I'm an idiot, just untic "Hide files in ROM" in "show" menu in Total Commander.

Hi Kwbr.

what e great rom, clean (+right tools), fast and less ram usage.

bugs

- facebook albums in manila contacts dont work

- weather update over 3g only using radio 1.14 (doesnt work with 1.17)

(there is another rilphone cab in miris thread that works with both radios, gsm + 3g)

thx for your work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chrissi323:
I just flashed 3.5.4 and it works really fast and smooth. However there is one thing that bothers me. Sometimes scrolling kind of locks. So far I had that in Opera and in Pocketoutlook.

If that happens I can't scroll in any direction. The screen scrolls as long as I swipe but after releasing my finger it jumps back to the position where the swipe started. Also the softkeys and hardkeys at the botom stop working in that case. If I press any of the hardkeys (eg Home) the screen scrolls a bit and jumps back after releasing the key. It feels as if the whole touch surface is screwed then.

Sometimes i can unlok it with a fast long down-up swipe, but most of the time only a softreset helps. I had this also wih 3.5.2 and 3.5.1.

I did a stock ROM flash before install and didn't install customizations or changed the MUI. Software installed: Funambol Client, Pigeon and S2P.

Does someone have an idea what could cause that?

Thanks in advance

MaxManila 3.0

It's work. Thanks for an info.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] arifqur:
Thanks hamkeng it works. Now I have a fully functional Kwbr Rom.

Hi Kwbr. One problem which you can take care of if possible. The windows folder takes forever to open. Can this be sorted out in the next release?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
That's the same with any rom as it has to read so many files at once just to show the folder (2+ seconds minimum).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] arifqur:
Nope most Roms like Energy, Miri,Xanny, CloudaFa, etc have the windows folder opening instantly but Kwbr's Rom takes 8 to 12 seconds to open this folder. It matters so much to me because I do a lot of modding and need to copy/paste a lot of stuff in he windows foolder. Therefore, it becomes tedious to wait for the windows folder each time you ave to copy something.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simplistian:
As a workaround I did some lua script to open the video in manila tab with windows media player or coreplayer (installed in default path in main memory).

Anyone who interested just pick one of the attached manila file. Backup before overwriting anything. Set the players to start playing in full screen to get the best result.

kwbr could it be fixed by putting back the missing HTCVideoPlayer.exe?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simplistian:
I confirm that, the albums are listed but pictures won't load.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] smartmm:
my experience is the opening-windows-folder-procedure takes average time, miri and nrg maybe a bit less, but xannys takes much longer. try hiding rom files in total commander if you don't need them, it will be much faster.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
Well I don't know how you have managed to open it instantly. I've tried those roms you mentioned. Even stock roms take 2+ seconds minimum. What special tweaks have you done?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jonifen:
Unfortunately, it started off well (stayed paired for ~50 miles) but then the BT disconnected mid-return journey and then for 2 extra (but much smaller) journeys (about 3 miles) this evening, the BT has cut out before I got to where I was going. Same as the stock ROM, but it's not the handset at fault, I think it's just not 100% compatible with the in-car bluetooth kit (seen it reported many times by people with Vauxhall/Saab/Chevrolet cars).

Otherwise, the ROM is very very good. HTC should pay some attention and realise that there is plenty of room for improvement on their own stock ROMs.

Hi,

I have installed Topix 3.5.4 and it feels smoother than 3.5.1. For some reason 3.5.1 was draining battery a bit more for me than 3.4.4. The ROM is GREAT!!! Thanks to Kwbr!!!

I have one small issue related to the Music tab in Manila: The album graphics for songs are a bit "broken". The top part is cut off and shown a fex pixels above ... Seems to be a problem of new Manila? It is not too bad for me because I am using Nitrogen anyway, but may be it is possible to patch.

Will try the facebook patch posted here.

ock up problems

hello,

i love this rom i've been using in for a few months now, i downloaded 3.5.4 and installed it yesterday. After installation it worked for a couple of hours and then when my device was locked i tried to unlock it and it froze after that i did a reset from the red button on the back and when the device started it was hard reset to factory defaults, i reinstalled everything and started setting up again, i though it was something random, anyway i now finished my second installation and when i tried to setup the facebook app, i got a froze again on the account settings screen, tried reset again and back to factory again.

Anybody else have the same problems??? could it be hardware related?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alchopop:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xenocide976:
i found a solution posted somewhere but couldn't find it

anyway i was quite bothered by this also. I like the small start menu with small icons. everytime i do soft reset its reverted back to the large ones

so what u do is go to task manager, select services from the drop down list

search for EnableLargeStarMenu. Click and hold on this item and select "Set Manual". Soft reset your phone. Then go to the same item again, click and hold. select "Disable". Soft reset again.

Thats it! Your start menu preference will be remembered even after a soft reset :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Datafanatic:
Thanks for the info but i don't quite understand. I don't have a drop down menu in the Task Manager - are you using a 3rd party app for that?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xenocide976:
Start -> Settings -> System -> Process manager

On the right top corner below ur topbar icons, there is a down arrow

click on that and select "Services" from the drop down list

U will see "EnlargeStartMenu(EMX0:)

click and hold it. Select "Set Manual". Soft Reset

Go back to the same item. Click and hold it. Select "Disable". Soft reset.

let me know if you still hav probs

Im using 3.3.3 ROM -- Its great but---

When Im holding my phone in landscape mode and taking a picture, then the picture is taken in portrait mode(in album its showed in not landscape, but showed in portrait--- sideways)

Taking picture in landscape, phone thinks im in portrait, but i want landscape!!

How to enable the landscape capture posibility????

I couldnt find any possibilities in registry, but please HELP

Anyone know how to change the boot screen or splash screen that is replaced by this ROM??

I've tried changing boot screen but it was for Smart Mobility screen, then I tried the splash screen changer in Advance Configuration Tool 3.3 which doesn't help either. As last resort I checked animated.gif under windows directory, it's still the HTC default's animation! :O

I've tried all above, what else can I do? Is it a secondary splash screen? Pls help it would be good to know at least for future ROM's I'm still able to do this.

Thanks a whole lot :D:D:D

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xenocide976:
mine's working fine. taking landscape and portrait photos ok.

i think its how the HTC Album displays the pictures

i took 2 landscapes and 2 portraits. in HTC Album, its all in portrait mode

when u select the picture, landscape photos appears portrait. if u rotate the phone, its shows a "landscape" view of the pic. but just wait a second or 2. it will rotate to full landscape view.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
You have to replace the default folder icon in shellres.192.dll. I can do that in the next release.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I know exactly what you mean. It is caused by the new hTC sensor. I find 2 things quite annoying with this new sensor. One is the pictures taken in landscape mode and the second thing is a severe memory leakage. I am still not sure what I prefer. Keep the new sensor with auto-rotate feature which has these issues or use the old sensor. See attachement if you want to install the old sensor.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kristaps-K9-Lv:

Hi again,

One last question, anyone here tried to install Garmin XT from pc to HD??

On finishing the installation it prompts a "autostart.exe failed" error and there is no installation request popup on HD (usually it DOES on other roms). However the files did copied over to HD so I can actually run Garmin, but the preferences all messed up (not the standard defaults when smooth installation).

Anyone know if this rom has this problem on installation of programs through PC?

Or is there a HD tweak or something that is protecting over this?? Pls do help me, lots of thanks!!!!!

New HTC Keyboard/Calendar

Hi kwbr,

What with the sudden re-emergence of some chefs (davideuck in particular) and the new roms springing up, will you/can you incorporate the new HTC keyboard and Calendar into v3.4 (or v3.3.4!)?

Loving the sheer simplicity and stability of your roms, load what you want, not forced to have things preloaded into the rom.

Tried again Dutty's latest offering (like some aspects of new manila but not all, new dialer is great when in a call but otherwise really cramped), may try davideuck HP1 and V6, but will not bother if something is a cooking!!!

Regards

DF
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Datafanatic, to be honest, I had a lot of Topaz packages running in version 3.3.2. Some caused problems and there are some known issues with the new keyboard as well as with the new manila. For some packages I did a role-back to blackstone and iolite versions because these are more stable at the moment. Currently I am working on a few other things and as always I prefer stability because I use my phone for business purposes. Curious what you think of the new generation roms though :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] speed200:
I´m still using that version and must say that is the most stable at the moment.

This is a very nice rom, great speed and stability.

Congrats.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lynne02191:
Hi kwbr,

after tried many other ROMs,

I'd like to say that your ROM is the best in my opinion :)

really appreciate all the efforts that you've made during ROM development.

The ROM is unlike many others which has a lots of useless features, I like your ROM cos it is just simply stable and fast.

btw, I think I should let you know that I've experiencing problem with the new HTC keyboard in some other's ROMs, the problem is the new input method seems not capable with some of my applications: I found I can't switch input methods in one of my dictionary application which is used to working fine in your ROM. So if you are planning to have the new htc keyboard as a new feature in your next release, this problem you may also want to look at.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
Lol you and I have very different definitions of the word "instant".

If you are using Total Commander you can reduce the loading time even further by hiding files as suggested. But as most people will want to access these files, if they were going into the windows folder in the first place, there's not much point in hiding any, and just putting up with the slight delay.

Should i flash factory rom every time ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] robkano:
YES!

You can find in this thread for what reason.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
I just do the hard reset twice trick. Much easier. I've never noticed any benefits of flashing stock rom 1st (i'm not saying there can't be any).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
No, going back to a stockrom is only usefull if you have issues with a rom that appear only on your phone.

Ofcourse you allways need to hard reset (once or twice) after a flash (stock or custom).

So if your phone is working fine there is no need for a stockrom flash, if you have weird issues then it can be usefull!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xalaros:
Well thanks it seems that going back to factory flash rom helped.

No more hard reset when i reset the device, will setup everything again and see how it goes.

Hi guys. I have an issue for you.

As with any 6.5 ROM, Topix 3.5.3 is getting slow after a few days of use. Music player doesn't respond, 3G connection get connected after a few seconds, launching Pocket Player takes ages, and switching from one to an other is extremely slow.

What i have installed so far are:

GFXboost

htcAddicts - CleanRAM

Vicsoft Clear Temp

CorePlayer 1.3.6

Skyfire 1.5

Pocket player

Driverpack signed 2010

Igo 8

On my µSD 8Gb class 6, i have ~ 4Gb of music, 1,5Gb of pictures, 1Gb Movies, 800/900Mb of Maps.

Someone told me it is my 4Gb MP3 field that might cause this slow down because of bad encoding :confused: but i doubt it is the cause as Pocket Player can play every MP3.

I know WM6.5 is supposed to better handle memory, but it is obviously not the case with my Blackstone. Any idea about this? Known WM6.1 doesn't suffers of this few-days-of-use' slow down...

Thx for your help
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
@jeanfrederic

Programs that scan the card will take a while to load when you have so many music and video files. Especially if they are different bitrates. Having said that, i've found coreplayer to be fairly good at handling this all on it's own so I no longer use the HTC music player. Try removing half of all files from your microsd card and see if it changes the speed of access at all. Also i've read somewhere on these forums that having a nearly full card affects performance with read speeds in 6.5 although no idea why.
