why don't you just make a shortcut for default browser... navigate to windows\fexplore.exe with total commander and than click "file"---> ">>>>>" ---> "create shortcut" and that's it , now in programs you have file explorer

other solution for ring tones is to copy any tone or a song to my documents/my ringtones , or my wallpapers and than you can select that ringtone from sounds and notifications...

hope this helps, cheers

Hello kwbr flashed ROM 2.9.1 and I am surprised by the speed, after some tuning and testing I am convinced I do not have to go back to 2.8.6 SP release.

I'm honest about my findings let you know this is a very good ROM, but you already know :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simon1219:
Using 2.9.1, have a total freeze while surfing with Opera in landscape mode. Need to softreset. In one instance, on pressing HOME, Opera disappear or maybe close automatically, Need to relaunch Opera.

I install the Opera cab file which Kwbr posted for version 2.8.7, and surf the net for 1 hour trying to emulate the above problem. Using this cab, has no freezing or auto closing of Opera.

Those who face the above problem can try installing the Opera cab.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Moinhust:
Updated from 2.7 to 2.9. Everything's great by now except Single Volume switch is not working. Can anybody confirm?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ehsanij:
Which registry changes the single volume to double (the default one)?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
no need of registry editing. go to settings tab>sound>single volume on-off.

works fine on my hd!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ehsanij:
thanks for the answer, still could not find it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
Simon, for your info, didn't have this problem with 2.9.1.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
could not find, what??? the on-off???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OrionBG:
Did someone saw that the MusicID is no longer working? I want to update itself when you try to use it!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ehsanij:
haha im stupid! never used that thanks you

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
Repeating my question again!! :D

Does this rom have extendir built in?? cuz a few roms back I saw a few post which said it had!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
answer: 100% N O !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
A couple of questions for niggles.

1). kwbr, I see you have posted on this thread already and actioned the suggested tweak, but whenever I stop the car I still get the irksome message "Your Bluetooth headset has disconnected. Please place the phone to your ear."

Does anyone have a better fix?

2). I used to have a setting on my Xperia that the wifi would switch off automatically if not connected for a set period of time, is there a registry tweak to get it back here?

Searches on both have been fruitless. :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
after installing the cab go to settings>sound&notifications and look for "Bluetooth warning". untick everything (play sound, repeat, display message on the screen). worked for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Moinhust:
In my case, even with that switch, System and Ring volumes change independently.

BTW, what are these taskbar icons you're using? Some modification of Brian's?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
move the switch to off. they'll unite:p

no modification. just Brian's. maybe not the last one. i am using it in all the ROMs for more than 6 month...i think.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
Thanks, I saw the cab but it didn't seem to change anything other than enable the option to untick everything that was already unticked?

I'll give it a go nevertheless, will it stop the annoying notification in the taskbar?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
at least will stop the sound notification. in my HD the notification still exists.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
Dang, I wanted to stop that too! :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
same here... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
I'm on 2.9.1 and getting Opera freezes where I end up having to reset. Are you still using upx compressed? I'm gonna try this cab and see if it helps. I'll report feedback.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simon1219:
The freezing is random or maybe a combination of keystrokes. If I remember, while in landscape and Opera still loading (slow internet connection), I tapped the back key (next of the home) to back to my previous page, but it remain at the same page. Tried the Home key to go to Manila, still cannot, then I realised it freeze. Pressing the Power switch has no effect to power down so need to remove cover to soft reset.

My feeling is that while Opera is still loading, any key action might cause the freezing. Maybe someone can try.

With the attached CAB, so far no problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] barisahmet:
I have used opera total of 5-6 hours and had no problem. Tried click another link while loading, input text while loading, change settings while loading etc etc. Cant reporduce that.

p.s: Only bug that I have seen is, it says an error message like "cant obtain ip address" blabla, when connected via usb to synce (a sync application for linux)

p.s.2: hmm, I had a freeze just a sec ago, when I tried close opera while listening to music, phone just frozen (and music stopped) and needed restart. But I had this dutty's rom before so dont mind.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ahbao:
there is a solution at earlier posts with a registry edit
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
hi,

i'm on 2.8.6 and i found an odd behaviour which i didn't on earlier versions. i assigned the long end key press to switch the phone on or off. now when wifi is active it switches wifi. i don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but i find it confusing.

thx, nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] X3n0n:
Same as the others, MusiID doesn't work anymore, it says "ID Success!" but instead of artist and track, I have "Upgrade Now", "Get shazam"...

I'm using 2.9.0 topix

found a bad bug

internet sharing

i'm actually on holidays and when i plug usb cable to computer, i select internet sharing, i choose my connection, click on connect. everything ok

i want to disconnect , impossible ! if i close, no other tools can be start, impossible to kill it ... well I have to soft reset.

if i keep it on, and try to kill directly, it close but still running,

usb connection can't be handle after

and tools don't want to start again (anyone!)

well, any solution ? I need this, and I'm thinking of trying another rom to see if it's better.

any idea ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr.vandalay:
Internet Sharing

change these registry keys and set EnableDHCP and AutoCfg to 0;

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\RNDISFN1\Parms\TcpIp]

"EnableDHCP"=dword:00000000

"AutoCfg"=dword:00000000

Then do a soft-reset.

kwbr posted this several pages before... it worked for me!

Random Opera Freezes

Having installed that Opera fix, I'm still experiencing random Opera freezes on certain sites which freezes the phone with the only solution being a hard reset.

Anyone else having this problem? I'm using 2.9.1
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwright:
Hi,

I am trying 2.9.1 (again!) since I found out that one of the programs I was using also shows the same problem(running once or twice and never again) on 2.8.6 - it just takes longer to fail! It seems to be OK at the moment.

Anyway:-

1) Is it my imagination or has RSS Hub lost the Today Plugin in the new version?

2) Is there a way to change which way the screen rotation (long press green key) works? I was better for me (in that it matched the way the camera was orientated) before the change.

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Sorry, don't get this message with my nokia carkit. Don't know a solution for both of your requests. When you (or someone else) do pm me :)

Create this registrykey

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\HTCYOUTUBE]
"Ebable2ndOverlay"=dword:1

It does work but this screen is shown when a song is not recognized. I can remove this program ...

No, but I will use another Opera version next time :)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation]
"LandScapeMode"=dword:1 ; 4=Lefthanded, 1=Righthanded
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwright:
Thanks - did the trick!

Anyone know the answer to the RSSHub question?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OnlinePredator:
Hey, been using the rom for a few days now and its awesome. Some weird little things though:

1. When using Google Maps, the phone dims and turns the display off (which has not happened on previous roms I have used, it does mean you have to keep tapping the screen to keep it on)

2. VERY SMALL, In all the other roms I have used, there seems to be a link between the windows live ID between Microsoft apps. For example, after logging into Microsoft MyPhone, Windows Live will have picked up the credentials automatically when you start up Windows Live.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
How soon? :)

I'm still on 2.8.6. Do you suggest that I wait for the new Opera or flash 2.9.1?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geistteufel:
oh yeah, it work !!!

thanks,I can keep my topix in holidays now :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
You have no idea how thrilled I am, knowing that you'd remove it :D

hi kwbr,

I'm writing this reply from my HD using TOPIX 2.9.1 .. I've been moving lately between different ROMs including L26 and miri's, but I must say that your ROMs are simply the best ! :cool:

I'm one of those who like less programs in a ROM.. Why not consider making a small TOPIX version of this one, removing apps like TotalCommander and MusicID?

Also, I think considering a 2.5 manila rom won't be a bad idea... :rolleyes:

anyway, love your work.. keep it up ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Naits:
I dont see any reason whatsoever to remove MusicID.

I think its fun to use every now and then.

And if you dont like it 'Blessed HD', simply dont use it or remove it yourself.

I dont see why kwbr should remove it from the ROM when it has been a part of Topix for a long time.

One person's complaint doesnt justify hundreds of satisfied users in my opinion.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] seacoral123:
hi kwbr,

your roms 291 is perfect for me. unlike other roms have the problem below

-battery drain fast

-opera close itself

-gps software volume is not in synch with hardware volume control

you also had improve the gps lock down much faster than before 286.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MEEEE:
hi,

one question: its better to upgrage from 2.7 to 2.91.

Important for me is no much Batterydrain, and a stable Rom.

ty for ur answers!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Ati75:
I'm using 2.9 since it came out, and have absolutely no problems whatsoever. I just don't bother to look at other roms. No Opera freezing on me and the new screendrivers from the omnia seem to be stable and fast enough for my purpose.

What's the point of this post? Just to show my appreciation (once again). Great work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
No manila 2.5 and no more Leo packages. All **** introduced comes from the beta Leo stuff.

Better wait 'till this weekend :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MEEEE:

Best Rom i ever had ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
Just a suggestion my friend.. just a suggestion..!

Besides,I'm a big fan of kwbr's roms, but like some users, don't use TotalCommander nor MusicID.. and you know of course you can't remove apps that are built in the rom :rolleyes:

REALLY like the rom though.. waiting for the new update :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
I must admit that the 2.9.1 rom doesn't seem as stable as the previous Topix series. My problems are mainly around surfing the net but I have noticed programs sticking on exit etc.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mbrudnoch:
Great!!! I'm waiting... Because I still have 2.7 for its stability i utility.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwright:
I am afraid that I have to agree.

Internet access is hit-and-miss with 2.9.1 whereas it "just works" with 2.8.6. I find that I have to either terminate the connection and let it reconnect or perform a soft-reset to get it to transfer any data. I am having to do this several times a day. At first I thought it might be Orange data playing up (would not be the first time!) but checking with my spare phone confirmed that data was fine on that one with my SIM in it.

So - going back to 2.8.6 again for the time being
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Went back to 2.8.6 tonight as well and quite satisfied that I did. I also find the Omnia drivers doesn't improve the rom. In fact I did go back to 2.8.7 but find the screen to actually be slower. One of my tests of this is to flick the clock. On 2.8.6 it is quick and smooth when flicked. On 2.8.7 it is slower. 2.8.6 is my favoured Topix at the moment...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] crashDebug:
can someone nicely point me to the original pictures and videos app cab, i beam pictures quite often and passing through total commander all times is a painful operation.

Feedback on 2.8.6

Hi kwbr et al,

After some thoro reading thru this thread I updated from Topix 2.2.1 to 2.8.6 about 5 days ago (at the time it seemed like best ROM to go for).

2.8.6 is definitely faster/snappier than 2.2.1, and battery life seems as good as ever. To date I have preferred Topix over any other ROMs I've tried. However I have noticed the following with 2.8.6:-

* I've set a speed dial of 150 in location 3, three times so far as they keep getting erased.

* Similarly for the phone's keypad tones, set to "short" and twice lost already.

* I got a (random) alarm yesterday saying I'd received a text but there was no text (or MMS) to be seen anywhere.

* On TomTom7; whereas before I always got a lock, and pretty quickly too with plenty of satellites, now I dont always get a lock at all and when I do the number of satellites seems often reduced.

kwbr - I appreciate your work and the time it takes, so these are just feedbacks to help you along, if any.

Cheers

LL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
NOW that I've tried the 2.5 manila, I REALLY know what your talking about and totally agree with you!!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
I'm on 2.8.6 too, I have none of these issues. I also have some speed dial entries, and I have my dialpad set to "short tones".

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] justwonder:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LoopyLoo:
I kinda expected I might be in a minority here...

The thing is, kwbr's ROMs have pretty much all I need so I dont add many apps... TTN7, CrackWhore's Snooze Options and a small app to toggle an "SMS Sent" notification (plus kwbr's CVSD). That's really not a lot!

Besides, I've used these apps (and more) before and not had problems.

Gonna try a hard reset I think and see if things improve...

BTW what Radio are we recommending with 2.8.6 - 1.13 or 1.14?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] LoopyLoo:
kwbr - where are we?

Hi kwbr,

You previously made the comment below...

... so I was just wondering where ROM 2.9.2 follows on from?

2.8.6/2.8.7 (before the troublesome Leo packages)?

Thanx,

LL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Yes, 2.9.2 uses 2.8.6 as a basis which I built upon :)

Like I said, the Leo packages introduced some problems. Maybe because the Leo rom is heavily integrated with wm6.5 and maybe because these are beta packages. I will wait with releasing a 6.5 rom 'till an official release becomes available. And to be honest, I feel like waiting for wm7 because 6.5 has some things I don't like.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Same here... I tried a few of the 6.5 ROMs out there - and non offered anything that would convince me to move to 6.5 as long as there are way faster and far more stable ROMs on 6.1 basis!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
Hi KWBR, and congrats for your new ROM, i'll give it a try soon.

First, i'd like to know what about the NeoS drivers package? Is it implemented, and if not, why? I did use it without any problems, but without any remarquable improvements too.

About WM7, NeoS has posted the hardware for Winmo 7 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4420178&postcount=1299 and it seems Blackstone will not be concerned by Win7.

Third, i've just read the ROMs benchmarks by Daeron, and Topix 2.9.2 has rank 11, far away from v2.8. What changes could explain that fact?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] imusion:
Can't seem to find this anywhere but how would I install an app and have the icon show up in one of the folders like "Games", "Multimedia" etc..?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
2.9.2 is not far away from 2.8 - it's only 3.8 percent! That's nothing considering the fluctuation of the benchmarks probably is already around 1-2 percent!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
You would have to move the shortcut for the app in question into one of the folders... The contents of the start menu can be found under \windows\start menu\ - But be warned: Entering into the windows folder can take a while since there are so many files! ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] salamt:

I really cant get how did you manage to rich this level of speed, smoothness and stability? I've seen this in iPhone and android but not in windows phone

I have decide to install this version with few modification :

PagePool 0 instead on 20

4m system cache file instead of 0

128k glyph cache instead of ???

So, I replace opera by opera9.7 beta UPX (I do that for better lauching time)

and well, I can say, WoW ! Incredible speed !!

I will try the test of daeron to see if it's better or worst that original version

My feeling is really good actually, opera 9.7 beta start in 3 seconds, so good.

I will run benchmark to see more. let you know
