100% true:D

btw "posting constructively", this ROM is the fastest i ever tested\used in all aspects but the thing that makes me go "wow" is the phone. all the lags in using the phone are greatly reduced. the phone is snappy like a "dumb" one.

waiting for new developments. meanwhile i am still on 2.8.2 and enjoying:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mijyou:
I loaded extendir version last night. I'm using it as a regular rom because i don't know to set it up correctly yet. But even without the correct setup the speed is amazing!!

Thanks kwbr:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] glai3:
Another daredevil using this rom for half day and no complaint at all.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vesperial:
I tried 2.8.2 with extendir and strangely the effects are opposite of yours :confused: .

The speed of my HD is really slow/unresponsive, i can't explain why.

(plus i deactivated manilla as i'm used to).

Anyone got any idea ? ;)

Even if i'm experiencing some problems now :

Thanks for you excellent work kwbr :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
u have nothing to setup...:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vesperial:
I reflashed my HD and everything is working really well now.

thank you kwbr! holidays? ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KayK:
Great ROM

wow, I just flashed to this 2.8.1 (regular) on Monday and now 2.8.3 is out? Since 2.8.1 is working great, I think I'll wait for newer version before re-flashing...

i believe you must have gotten this plenty of time before, but really thanks for the great ROM...I'll keep track of this thread / ROM...

Keep up the great work...:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vesperial:
wow so fast, i just reflashed 2.8.2 that i already can flash 2.8.3 lol.

You're way so fast ^^

Thanks kwbr

Only a few days left :) So what do you do? Reading a book and cooking a rom :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
kwbr,

I'm using 2.8 (with backlight fix cab), is it worth to flash 2.8.3 or there are only minor changes?

(except the changes stated in changelog)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Yes, somebosy did. Me. I had this problem on all roms from Topix until 2.7.

Problems were (after a few days):

1. softreset fails, 2. ok

gps gone after a few days.

softreset fails completly > hardreset.

I used the same software then i did on about 15 different dutty roms. But since we´re the only 2 people with this experience, i´d love to stick our heads together to see if we can find out what is happening.

I´ll pm you wioth a list of programs (residents) i use.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
Isn't that the whole point of the changelog, to list the changes so that you can determine whether it's worth it? Also, skimming the last couple of pages should give you more insight than anyone would be able to in a simple reply.

For what it's worth, 2.8.3 works fine for me, no reason to turn back.

Now, I wonder if anyone can confirm that it takes almost 30 seconds for the Storage Card to become available after having been accessed as a USB disk?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:

Nevermind that because I just found out how to do it and I dont think Im ready for that. I am using the extendir 2.8.2 version and want to know is it pointless to use this version if I dont put the exendir to use? And should I just use the regular version? Thanks in advance

This new version of extendir is supposed to give benefit to all afterwards installed applications settings etc.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
ugumba,

If I'm not mistaken my question was straight to someone else and surely not for you or anybody else.

So please, next time be more careful not to answer questions that do not concern you and let the concerned people decide if they are going to answer or not.

Mods, my apologies for spumming the thread with this reply.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
took me 6-7 seconds only. check up yr SD.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vesperial:
mhh... problems with sd card too, with 1.8.2 and 1.8.3 the interactions with sd <-> pc were slow and now my sd card is not recognized anymore by my HD.

I tried those to check :

- sd card used in a Touch Pro II : works well

- another sd card (original one from Touch Pro II) in my HD : doesn't work

So there seems to have some side-effects from the latest roms for sd card with some people. Also i installed 'sd tune up', i don't know if this is related.

i will try to flash the rom again and maybe flash other to check if my sd card will be recognized.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eurocat63:
I've the same error:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
FWIW, the RapidShare link worked fine for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
Thanks. The card checks out in all other respects, no errors detected. Performance seems normal otherwise.

I'm wondering if the number of files/folder matter - I just thought Extendir might be performing some kind of indexing scan when the card's being "plugged back in".

Mine has 6.5 GB in 7341 files, 500 folders. Could I ask for your numbers (or anybody else's, on Topix+Extendir)?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Request

When you have questions or comments please refer to the rom you are running. As far as I know the regular rom is performing and running just great.

As we all know extendir is still experimental, indeed it still has some issues with some of the other drivers in the xip. This can cause slow downs in activesync and probably in reading the sd card. If you don't experience this behaviour I guess you are a lucky ahum, daredevil :)

I tried several extendir setups, several caches and they all still gave me minor problems. Not too bad but I won't consider it ready for day to day usage as far as I am concerned. It is however nice to try and especially give Shadrac some feedback in this thread.

I think, there's a zero 0 - instead of O in the T0PIX, that's why You have problems. That's why KWBR suggested: copy-paste ! :)

Had always copy and paste the password but still failed the unzipping at 22% of 2.8.3 regular. Unable to download from Rapidshare, hence can't confirm the same problem happen to the copy hosted at Rapidshare.

Hi, is there any chance of building a WM 6.5 build of Topix with Extendir? I've been using Dutty's R9 Turbo and it's already pretty damn fast.

Thinking Extendir + WM 6.5 = ultraspeed :D ... thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eighty1:
+1 I would love to have a Topix 6.5 build. I crave the day. LOL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
-1 for me. I don't get 6.5, I haven't liked any 6.5 ROMs...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
That's taken it one stage better. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aussiebum:
to each their own, but interface wise, 6.5 with Manila is just a faster 6.1 with a fancy Start Menu.

If it's the Titanium interface you don't like I understand - I don't like it either, but no one's forcing you to use that today plugin :)

hi @all

i noticed that the FM Radio is not working for me,

when i start FM Radio the programm loads, but after 30 sec its closing...

after a hard reset the same issue ...

any ideas ?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
I'm using 2.8.3 and I have no problem with FM radio.

Reflash the ROM and if it still happens maybe it is a hardware malfunction.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] derstandard:
i tried the 1.13 and the 1.14 radios, same issue ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
The radio (eg 1.13 or other) has to do with gsm, wifi and gps and no with the build in FM radio of the device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:

the next i will try is the HTC Stock rom ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Could it be your headphone plug? Did you try another headphone? It functions as an antenna when using fm radio.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] derstandard:
the FM-Radio application starts "normal" but i see all the time the wait-animation and after 30 sec. die FM Application closes it self ... when i unplug the earphone i see the warning that i have to plug it in ....

looks like a false FM api version OR a hardware problem ... ;(

EDIT: the last version where it worked was Topix 2.4 ... hmm ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
It is working fine for me. In the mean time your hardware can be damaged. Nothing wrong with FM radio or a api.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] derstandard:
i will try to do a hardreset again or another rom for testing ... tomorrow ...

In HD's hardware there is a electronic circuit that is the FM radio.

If there is a problem whit that there are no other options than HTC's service department.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
I prefer the classic start menu which is even better with using Q Menu; faster I would like though.

As for the Titanium interface, it seems that all 6.5 ROMs had it as standard, though to be honest I just didn't like the ROM so didn't hang around long enough to find out if the traditional manila interface was available. :o

Anyonehere uses WKTask ???

Anyonehere uses WKTask ???

I´m currently investigating a nasty issue which i had on nearly all topix roms so far and which i have apparently in common with just 1 other person (fatdogcat). (it´s about failing softreset and after a while a self hardreseting device)

So the only thing i have in common with fatdogcat is wktask.

I deinstalled it now and wanted to test a good time without it, BUT i find it very difficult to use my phone without that excellent taskswitcher.

So i wanted to shorten my test by asking you guys if any of you is using WKTask on Topix without problems.

Thx for helpng me,

nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
I wish I could be more helpful, but here goes:

I did try out WKTask for a while in Jan/Feb this year. However, during this period I was struggling with similar issues (spontaneous soft and hard resets, 1-5 times a week) on the Touch of HD, kwbr and other ROM series. While WKTask was fine, it didn't quite fit my bill so I stopped installing it. I ended up blaming SKScheMa for my troubles.

At least I can answer your question: I did not use WKTask without issues, but I can't say whether it worsened my situation.

My main task switcher is AE Button Plus - I've used aebplus to map the hangup key to opening the aebplus task manager, which is fairly decent. I have no indication of instability with this, but some of the mappings seem to stop working until I reset or restart aebplus. This would be my personal recommendation until you get WKTask sorted out.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Yes - I use WkTask (1.2.0.2) on Topix 2.8.3 (regular) without any issues!

EDIT: I couldn't do without WkTask either! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Thanks for your fast reply.

I use WKtask quite some time now and had never something like this on duttys roms. but i´ll try out aeb plus to stay away from wktask for a while.

Thx, nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi m, great it is running just fine for you. I just looked at the WkTask cab because some users reported problems. No registry entries are installed. Only a bunch of png's, lng's, 2 dll's and some binaries. So I guess the problem lies within the program(s). Since things are hardcoded I can't offer any help. Those having problems with WkTask should contact the author.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simon1219:
I am using 2.8.3 regular and I have no problem at all. In fact I have no problem for all the different cooked rom I used.

Only visual problem I have is with Window 6.5 where wktask task bar is not transparent i.e it has a background color that is different from the top bar which made it very ugly.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fatdogcat:
i have the problem since topix 2.7, before that everything are fine.

and now, as suggested by nearlygod, the problem may caused by ce-star (to read chinese and japanese), anyone who is using ce-star with topix without any problem?

thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
I concur that the issues are probably not wktask related. I've been using it on all topix ROMs, the only issue I have is the middle of the task bar text popping out between the running task icons and the volume and other icons; it'd be neater not to have anytext at all.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
You can get rid of that (it annoyed me as well) by changing the font color of the text to black:

----------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color]

"9"=hex:00,00,00,00

----------------------

Now I don't see any original WM taskbar text! ;)

Weird problem...

I faced a very weird problem.

I used the ROM for a while (3-5 days) happily. Then, I made a soft reset and the phone freezes in the "Starting Topix" screen.

I had to perform a hard reset in order to overcome this problem :(

I faced the same issue with Topix 2.7 and also with Laurentius 3.55 as well.

The following programs were installed when I faced the problem:

- Core Player

- Finger Keyboard

- Microsoft MyPhone

- Microsoft Reader

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vizier:
I think we have the same problem.

However, I did not have WKTask installed when I faced the problem. :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vizier:
I am having the issue, but I do not use ce-star.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Hm, when i spoke about this the first time, it seemed that i´m the only one.

So, things changed.

It happend again to me, 5 minutes ago. I did a softreset and it got stuck at the Topixbootscreen. I softresetted with the button and fine. (but i know from experience, that one day i´ll end up with a hardreset)

So, this time, i had WKTask and Lumos deinstalled. So it´s NOT Wktask.

I just deinstalled 2 other resident apps i use: S2u2 and TouchinCall.

Lets see if this does anything, but i´m not to hopefull, because my very first experience after flashing my first topix rom (2.1.1) was that the softreset failed(right after the connection setup), with NO apps installed.

I already went back to duttys roms because of that issue, but flashed 2.7 for curiousity. Then it didn´t occur to me for almost 2 weeks. But something else did occur: I lost my gps completly. I this happend already twice to me on Topix.

I hope together we can find out, what´s going on there, because i love Topix Rom´s.

thx,

nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
none of the above happened to me. i am on 2.8.2 with extendir for more than a week. the fact that i am with it for such a long time is itself a proof...lol!

i don't use S2U2 or any other of the programs mentioned in the last posts.

my GPS is locking before i even write the address and i left it once on the table (1.5 m from the window) and i got a fix (startled by the guidance voice) ;-)!

I have used many ROMs before, and I must admit that Topix is one of the best. However, this problem is quite annoying, I hope we can find the cause and a solution.

As I stated earlier, I faced the problem with Laurentius 3.55, Topix 2.7, and Topix 2.8.3. These are all very recent ROMs, and they are top-of-the-list ROMS performancewise. Hence I have a feeling that the problem lies in the settings or drivers that provide us the superior performance.

Hopefully we can come up with a solution... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Terrorhuhn:
I had the same issue with Topix 2.7.

Could this be a Extendir Problem?

As far as I know 2.7 does not use Extendir.
