i was having the same problem as you (although i'm using stock ROM)...

all was fine until i connect to a secure wifi connection, after that i can't no longer surf the internet althought i'm connected to a wifi...I believe this has something to do with the settings rather than ROM issue...i didnt really solve it though, if you dun mind, try HR and see if it solve your problem...

Same here. In addition the SMS problem seems to be gone in the black edition.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
I´m sorry to have you bothered with that. Appearently, where i stay in the moment the internet does not work in the evening...

Maybe i got just paranoid, because on every second dutty rom wifi was not working for me (at home).

So thanks, wifi works on Topix better than ever.

Thx, Nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ati75:
Just wanted to say that im quite impressed with Topix 2.5 (using the black one btw.). Battery life, Wifi Reception, overall speed of the rom is fantastic. I was a fan of Topix 1.61 up till now. This ones a keeper, and i am planing to use it for the foreseeable future. Of course if there will be a better version coming out, i might rethink that, but i really am quite happy with this version.

Thanks for all the effort!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
Any chance you can get the new HTC keyboard into the update of this rom?

The one that's in Manila 2.5 that is.

Dutty is including it in his beta 6.5 rom so I figure you might have access to it to :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi rdgut, what is new in this keyboard and what version does it have? I know, I can update the keyboard anyhow because it hasn't changed for a while in my roms. On the other hand, the topaz version I use works like a charm :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
I tested the Manila 2.5 rom earlier today and the keyboards version is 2.1.

New keyboard

this is personal preference but i really dont like the new keyboard. The "left", "right", "up" and "down" keys are now hidden. To use them, you have to activate them and even then, they're not pinned so will dissapear once you start typing again. Given that the HD does't have a physical D-pad, i use these direction buttons on the keyboard a lot when typing/editing emails, word docs, excel files etc and the new keyboard made this a lot more laborious :(

so i guess if you dont use these direction keys, then the new keyboard might suit you
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi yv, that is a real good argument not to use the new keyboard. I have the package though and will play a bit with the new keyboard before I decide to use it :)

Very annoying thing - notification bubbles have returned to the default WM style again :(

I've already tried to uninstall all suspicious software. No luck.

I'm sure it was some of that software that misbehaved but how do I track this misbehavior now?

kwbr,

Can you please post a reg file with the right settings for the Topaz style notification bubbles?

PS: I'm not sure if the term "bubbles" is the right word. I mean the bubbles which pop up at the bottom of the screen and which allow you to snooze or dismiss an event.

Thanks in advance.

Would it be possible to include the latest release of Opera in your next build?

Also including Gyrator 2 would be a nice touch (auto rotate screen).

Keep up the amazing work!!!!!

kwbr,

i can't get the .exe to run?

can i flash this from the memory card?

if so how? as i really want the Clean rom on my blackstone....

thanks

Spike
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Johan, thanks. I will take a look at the new Opera release. I tested Gyrator 2 and I consider it still not stable enough to include it in my rom and it really eats the battery. So for now you have to install it yourself ;)

Hi Spike, nothing is wrong with the "CustomRUU.exe". Did you succeed in flashing it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spike™:
Hi mate,

thanks for the reply,

i'm not saying theres anything wrong with your creation mate,

so forgive me if my post sounded like that,

nope still not got it working?

not on my XP lappy or my Vista Desk Top?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Spike, can you tell me what the problem is? First of all can you extract the zip and do you get 3 files? You can start CustomRUU.exe. See attachement also.

Or else you can try the RUU package.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spike™:
ok,yes i can extract the 3 files i connect via ActiveSync ,

but just can't start the CustomRUU.exe
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Maybe you should disable your antivir or firewall and give it a try :)

My guess is this should do the trick because CustomRUU.exe is a selfextracting file and starts another program. My firewall asks for permission. Otherwise use the Elfin RUU, see the link in my previous post.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spike™:
ok mate i've tried the antivirus and firewall shutdown,

still no go?

do you have any info on the Elfin RUU package,

thanks for all your help mate,

i really appreciate it,

Spike
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
You have the original rompackage right? The ruu_signed.nbh for the rom is about 121.044kB, for the clean rom this is 113.446kB. Check?

Now extract the RUU.zip and copy the nbh you want to flash to this directory. Start "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" to flash the rom.

This should work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnpatcher:
As you suggested to ask my question here, I'm doing this right now :).

So here they are:

What is the size of the pagepool and how do you change it? Do you use a pagepool changer or do you edit the binary file with a hex editor?

What kitchen did you use?

How have you "hidden" your OEM and SYS folder. I'm not asking this in order to get your oem and sys folder, but because I want to secure my ones also :p.

I will try to make a rom, removing all stuff that can be removed, including tf3d and the whole bunch of crap :p. How can I figure out what isn't really needed, and what actually is?

So, I thank you in advance :).

Hi D, I would like to help you but I don't understand the question. I am not aware of changing something in relation to the notifications. There is a cab floating around which will give you the old sytle notification. When I set an alarm an event screen pops up with an image which gives me an option to snooze or dismiss the event.

Hi, is anyone using the Mortplayer here?

So anyone´s using that player on topix?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yung_vu:
kwbr, they were just my thoughts but at the end of the day, this is your ROM so add, update, include whatever best suits your needs :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Well, I haven't found who the bad guy was yet (PocketShield?), but by hard resetting I've found the bad reg key!

"CustomUIDLL" was NotificationLayout.dll.bak!!!

But there is still another issue: tapping the taskbar when you have a missed call and pressing the missed calls notification you see the old style HTC call log rather than the Manila call log.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
Any chance you could make it available with a cab or something?

it might be nice if you offer everyone the choice, I'd personally like to try it very much.

If it worked on Vanilla that might be good for them too.

Autorotation

How to add new applications in whitelist of Autorotation in Topix 2.5 not listed in Cerato's list?

Installed:

AlReader 2.5

Navitel Navigation

G-Sensor.cab from Cerato (SensorSDK4 i think)

G-Config from makeveral (app for adding new apps to whitelist)

Alreader and Navitel doesn't rotates..... Opera and other (what was in whitelist begore) rotates at once.

Before it was Topix 1.3.2. Everything was perfect. Autorotation worked for me.

Rotating by longpressing "dial" button is not an option. I use VoiceDialing. So this button is used for.

Is it possible the battery life has gone down?

On my previous ROM (see sig) the battery never seem to go down on standby. It might be just paranoia. :D

Can anyone tell me how to turn off rotate? I don't like auto rotation at all especially in Opera and Google maps. I do like the long call button press to rotate though.

Many thanks

Just tried the new version 2.5 unleashed and it's fast like nobody's buisness. Battery life did go down a bit but on TestopenGl i got insane numbers like 30000kpixels and even more.It only shows that 6.1 is times faster than 6.5 (on the fastest 6.5 i got 18000-20000kpixels at best) and that's a shame I was really hoping that 6.5 progressed a bit but no it's still too slow...Also on coreplayer benchmark i got 89% average speed and 22.456 frame rate which means almost no skipping frames on a film with 624x352 resolution downloaded from my computer not resized or encoded or whatever,just downloaded it and watched it like a happy camper.But forget the numbers it really shows when you try it your own :)

Just wanted to add that i tried the video driver beta 2.0 pack with the Topix 2.5 and it did improve things a little bit without any bugs we're talking about 1000kpixels in TestOpenGL test and 1% of overrall performance in coreplayer benchmark without any bugs....well for the time I tested it of course.I wanted to ask if it is possible to have somekind of an "action" buton on the homescreen with next versions (like energy's or panosha's)or some info on how to get it to work cause it doesn't i tried some cabs and the button function stays the same ?

I have to leave you...

Hi,

this is a sad day. I was so happy to find Topix´roms, because they seemed to do everything perfect to me.

But now i had to hardreset the second time because my gps stopped working. The first time that this happend i thought, maybe it was a program that i installed. But yesterday it happend while navigating.

Then i hardresetted and set everthing up with sashimi - softreset and crash. All information lost but not even a proper hardreset.

This also happend the second time now to me. Complete lost of functionality.

And i had the same behaviour with 4 different topix roms.

Appearently it´s just me. But i have to look for something else.

(if its not just me and these things sort out one day, i´m happy to come back to topix, the roms are great and fit perfectly my needs)

thx, nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chris5304:
Yes, using Mortplayer 3.31b77 on 2.5 black at the moment. I have tried Blue as well and Mortplayer was fine. I use Mortplayer with MPNotify set on the volume down button using aebutton+ so that I can quickly play and pause it even with the screen off. I use it a lot to play audiobooks and have had no problems with any Topix ROMs. I use the default wvga skin and also an Ipod like skin I found somewhere which I've modded a bit, large album art. All working fine. Oh one thing - you have to reinstall MP even if you have it on the storage card, just running the .exe doesn't work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Sorry to say nearly but that's fine with me. I never have problems with gps (use TomTom and GoogleMaps a lot). All problems you reported so far were caused by either third party software or had an external cause (wifi not working on location). So before you blame the rom, take a look at your config or the software you installed. Again, when I take a look at the number of downloads, this is never mentioned before. Good luck.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Hi Kwbr,

I don´t blame anyone or anything. But the problem with softresets that get stuck i had even after the first hardreset after flashing. Actually that was my first topix experience and i tought, hm, that´s strange, as i never experienced that with the 15 roms i flashed before. I didn´t paid too much attention on it untill the softresets failed completly and ended up in an unwanted hardreset.

The gps thing hasn´t anything to do with third party software. The day before yesterday i used igo to navigate to a city and when i wanted to drive back, i couldn´t get a fix anymore untill i hardresetted. And then i run into the above problem again.

If i´m the only one, then it´s very strange, but it is like that and we can´t change it, can´t we.

So nothing more than this: I really liked your roms and wish i could have stayed with them. So it´s a sad day for me(and not for you, if you misunderstood me :-))

Thanks for your work,

contacts tab

hi everybody,

not sure if this has been posted before (it might even be in a new version of topix, i'm using 2.2.3 - only just got intenret access after moving house),

but you can do a reg tweak so that the contacts button on the home screen points to the manila contacts, and not the default windows mobile contacts.

the tweak is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]

HomeLSKPath="\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page

i think you need to include the quotation marks for it to work.

and if you are reading this kwbr, i wonder if it would be possible (if you think its necessary) to cook this in,

Tom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Tom, thanks for your feedback on this. I knew, but I personaly like the old style contact browser :)

Maybe a good idea to put that in the faq.

Stay tuned. The new rom will be exciting, 140MB free program memory after first boot, yes with a pagepool of 12MB! Also a new keyboard, Opera update, rhodium dialer, rotation app and a slightly better performance :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:

Hey kwbr, glad to have you working on Blackstone roms.

Been waiting for a while for you to make a Manila 2.1 stable rom and it seems the waiting is over. I only have one question - does Push internet work with the latest (2.6) Topix rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
To be honest. I never use push internet. But it should work with the following tweaks:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PushInternetEngine]
"Enable"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Preload]
"RealExit"=dword:0

And remove this key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager\TerminateProcess]
"Opera9.exe"=dword:00000001

I disable these by default for a much better memory managment. PushInternet eats a lot of memory :)

just one (stupid)question about the new keyboard: in the old one, holding a key gives you the option to select "another key",like %, &, @ etc. It seems that doesn't work anymore?
