Ok kwbr, thank you for your answers. I won;t install the driverpoack if you say it isn't necessary. I agree with your opinion about the new Manila, it is too crowded. The Manila 2.1 with weather is perfect for me. I am looking forward to your WM 6.1 with Twitter and Footprints :P

Thanks again for your fast and stable Rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
+1

I hate the honeycomb start menu... It's slow, it's inconvinient and it's a pain to organize. Whenever I try a 6.5 ROM, I always use QuickMenu (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=340352), which even supports a cascading menu - the most effective menu type IMHO.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Correct me if I'm wrong - but I think the Twitter and Footprints tabs are only available for Manila 2.5?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
So was Manila Home with weather and that is also in WM6.1

Hi kwbr,

Are these drivers included in your Vanilla ROMs?If not can it be done?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
This evening or tomorrow. Currently testing ce os 21014 but not sure if I keep it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tomj333:
Why ever not, i used dutty's rom with this build and it seemed ok, mind you was a bit more buggy.

Downside for me is i just put your ROM on now and your about to realease a new one :(

Anyways any news on GFX driver devlopment on your Roms?

My girl has the diamond and her flashed rom has better drivers and i really CAN see a graphic improvement.

Anyways must congratulate you on a really good ROM :) thanks!!!

Tom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I agree, just went back to base 1.19 hence the ce os 20764. Still most stable. What graphics improvement do you mean? It is known you can watch movies in a super quality on the hd if you take care of a descent encoding.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Version 3.0 is online. See changelog and build info in the first posts for details.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tomj333:

by the way testing the ROM now :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
I'm running 3.0 now.

But wait, my SDConfig.txt was ignored! Is there no UC support???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kenjari:
I fell asleep for a few weeks and wake up and kwbr is at it again with 3.0. I just kicked in high gear 2.2.....way to go buddy.

I'm going to wait to see where 3.0 go before I convert. Its hard reflashing and downloading all of your apps again. :D

Thanks again for your hard work kwbr.

Hi,

Thanks for another excellent ROM.

Wondered if only me having this issue with version 3.0 and the built-in Youtube application... opens fine but when select a video the app just closes/crashes straight away and cannot play anything. Any ideas?

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jeat:
Nope, not only you. Same prob here with youtube.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sir.B:
FRACK

i hope it's not the PNG optimization

i haven't upgraded to ver. 3

and YouTube works ok on 2.3.2

[EDIT]still here are the original (non-optimized) YouTube image files from 2.3.2

copy them to your windows folder and try again[/EDIT]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I'll check that today. Didn't change anything to the youtube package besides replacing the png's with optimized ones.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simon1219:
V3-Same for me Youtube program not working. Program closes upon selecting a movie.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I know by now. And it is fixed. Replaced the Youtube package that includes the optimized images with the original package and it is working again. I will upload a new version with the Youtubeplayer fix and with UC2.0.

See also attached file. Copy all images to \Windows on your device and see if that works.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Wow ugumba, xda is like a real store where you can shop, complain and ask for goodies isn't it?

I created a thread called cooking class that shows you how you can build a custom rom for your very own.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Kenjari, nice to see you around again. I added UC2.0 in release 3.1 to make things easier for you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] taiseer999:
It works now, appreciate it. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Great! No pain, no gain ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] victoradjei:
Thanks Kwbr :) I like this ROM. Now cooks are becoming scarse here so don't let the demands and "give me, give me" stress you. Blow the steam out when you have to. I like the Olipro style. He gets the job done and takes "no nonsense" :D

Cheers mate
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
I apologize! That didn't come across very well. It was late and I was just surprised, that's all. TOHD 3.0 is my 6th flash (after some iterations over pzucchel, barebone and Dutty), TOHD 3.0 seems the most pleasant and speedy, and the best compromise between leanness and functionality for my needs.

I appreciate the handicraft, for example when I notice that even the calibration and setup screens are styled.

Sorry again for the outburst. I hope to be able to contribute something back to you and xda eventually.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sangreal:
Wow that was quick, thanks for that.

Ive sent a donation over to you by the way, really good work with the rom its great. Hope you dont get annoyed by others comments and demands all the time like L26 had to put up with, dont want to lose another cook here. Keep up the good work, we need your skills here.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chowlala:
Thanks for the replies on stuff kwbr. Hope to see you make good progress on 6.5 and such. =)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
lol, very true ;)!

Just out of curiosity: What kind of features can we expect from future versions?

The ROM looks to be complete and (almost) problem free, so i was wondering if there are going to be major changes/updates in the future?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
Footprints and Twitter tabs

Working version of My Location

and that would be it!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I think I will leave the weather manila. Ironing out the bugs will cost too much time because several mode9 files and lua scripts have to be modified and found in the first place. When someone wants to volunteer to sort things out I can provide the package and tools :)

As for topix, I have some package updates and a sms patch. The latter can be installed as a cab so there is no real need to update the rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaniLoveSky:
kwbr,

I also cannot stand hexagonal start menu os WM6.5 and overloaded home screen of new manila. However ther are some nice features there... In this connection, I have a queston:

Is it technically possible to port tabs from new manila (2.5?) to the older one (2.1?).

For example, People tab with grid-like contact arrangement (as seen in new manila) would fit your rom design better. Also the Mail tab with big text area would also be addvantageous.

Anoter thing is SocialNetworks feature - what happened to it? Did it become incompatible or you just fill it is a waist of space?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chowlala:
Wow. I decided to give another 6.5 rom a go to try out the new twitter tab. the new interface looks nice. but definitely lacks the finesse the topix rom has. by far topix is the smoothest i've been using! flashing back to topix 3.0 right now as i'm typing this. the 6.5 rom lasted like 4 minutes with me. haha.

Will definitely love to see the Twitter tab included in your next rom kwbr. +1 for this?

it's -1 for the footprints tab though. I see zero use in it. Haha.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
The twitter tab is a +1 for me, just for the fact it is much simpler than an other application. The footprints tab is just for my website, so if you don't want to use it, i guess its a -1 for you, but a +1 for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
You mean SMS sorting in Manila patch?

Is it just a reg tweak?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] michoob:
Isn't this issue more a threaded SMS restore issue in Windows Mobile than a ROM issue?

I know that I have always had first to disable threaded SMS before backuping and restoring them to avoid sorting issues...

But perhaps I'm wrong, then sorry for my intervention.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
You are right. What I meant was this fix:

Hotfix to allow SMS Text Messages to be sent using the “+” international prefix for HTC Touch Pro2

Dans le Touch FLO 3D, les SMS ne peuvent pas être envoyés avec le préfixe + avant le code pays (+[Code pays][Numéro de téléphone]).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] l3ft3r1s:
kwbr, as I understand, the "no weather version" is more bug free than the "weather version"? Is that what you mean?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
I'm using the weather version, and the only bug i have is the known 'my location' bug.

So as far as i'm concerned the weather version has 1 more bug then the normal one ;).

Weather however does show properly on the homescreen, just for a city you have to pick yourself and not your immediate location.

P.S. is it possible to switch off the whole 'my location' thing? So that when i update my cities weather in the weather tab google doesn't ask for permission to use my gpslocationthing?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Both manila's are pretty good. Only thing is I don't use the weather manila myself :rolleyes: As for the google permission, you have to deselect that the first time you run weather location from the manila tab. So there must be a registry entry for that. I don't run the rom at the moment but maybe this will help:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCGeoService]
"DontShowAgreement"=dword:00000000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] turcomora:
Incredible rom:) Everything works for me. Very stable, very quick. Is there anyway in the future that you can make a light version of your roms. Keep all the latest packages, ie weather clock and such just no added programs. Very impressed.

Thanks

network strength observation

i must admit in terms of perfomance and for me particularly the battery, consumption, on this rom, its the best, having tried all the various 6,5 roms, with this rom i get more out my battery, using radio 1.17. however my observation, is that there seems to be one advantage, that i have observed, from the 6,5 roms, which is the signal strenght, because in my work place, if i have any 6,5 rom, i get reception, but with this rom, my phone seems to strugle to get reception, had anyone else, made a similar observation, but then again at work, i dont really need my phone, as i use the work phone and at home i stay in town, so the reception is good anyway, and for me the battery life matters more than reception anyway

kwbr,

I deleted all my restored SMS (actually, I just emptied the database with SKTools). Then I sent an SMS to a contact and received a reply.

So, the result is the reverse order. My original SMS is at the bottom and the reply is at the top.

There's definitely a problem here with the weather Manila :(

is it possible to configure one of the softbuttons to open the Settings menu? i did not find the option in Softkey Manager.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Qukace:
Many thanks for your excellent ROMs.

Is there anybody with my annoying experience::confused::confused:

If I get a call from somebody Who is in my contact list, NOT always displayed the name. Many times displayed as "unknown caller" even the correct phone number stored in the contact list.

I revert back to topix 2.9.4. WWE version without any problem.

thanks again
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jpl69:
Isn't the number duplicated in your contact list ? I've seen it happen in nokias.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
Tnx for the quick reply!

I've changed the value to 1 and so far so good :)!

That just about makes this rom perfect :O, i have to say i'm really impressed!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Moinhust:
That's simple:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"Weather.EnableCurrentLocation"=dword:00000000

With this set, there're no problems with location at all.

kwbr, please, don't give up on your weather manila ROM, it's so nice!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
wow, nice!

I'm still not very familiar with the registry structure, so thanks for pointing me in the right direction :)

The only problem i now have is the fact that the FM Radio doesn't work. I reflashed my radio (1.17) and also did a hardreset (just in case), but still the program is unable to find any frequencies.

Is this problem radio related, rom related or hardware related?

I hope someone will be able to shine some light on the issue :)!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] demo1987:
Maybe a stupid question, but did you used the headphones which were in the package of the Blackstone? Those are working like an antenna, so without those FM Radio will not pick up any frequencies.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
That doesn't work either (i've tried several headsets, just to be sure ;)).

I've tried it in my house but also out in the open, but no luck :S

thank you very much for the answer demo1987.

the thing I wanted to know is if I can change the lower softkeys of the Home tab and have "All settings" instead of "Contacts" (left) and "Sound settings" instead of "Camera" (right).

i could not do that from Softkey Manager. in fact, when i make any changes using Softkey Manager, after doing the softreset any changes apply...

thanks!! :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Hey Kwbr!

I simply love your ROM and I've been using it for weeks now - which is impressive, considering I'm a flash-junkie and try almost every new ROM I can get my hands on... ;)

Only one thing would make it even better: The ability to use Max' Manila Theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551489) on it! He just released a version for Manila 2.1, but it only works with 2.1.1919XXXX (check post #5 of the theme's thread). Is there any way you could create a Topix 3.1 with Manila 2.1.1919XXXX?

Thanks for your work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] davidwxh:
The cab can be used for Topix 3.0 weather.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sunstorage:
I can't understand why is this Manila "craziness" - Manila with weather, Manila without weather, is the Twitter working on Manila... and so on.

I am a big fan of Topix - very fast, with small battery consumption, and yesterday decided to install SPB mobile Shell 3.5 - It is great! Can't imagine why the people keep asking for Manila when they can try the SPB mobile Shell. This may sound as advertisement but its not - just take a look at the

http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/

read the manual - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/uploads/user_manuals/Spb_Mobile_Shell_3.0_User_Manual.pdf

and try it - it has 15 days trail.

If you don't trust me take a look here about the WM 6.5 review

http://blogs.zdnet.com/cell-phones/?p=2213

The level of the customization and eye candy ins SPB is just incredible - it looks and feels much better than the WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5 and runs relay smooth - it has a 3D acceleration (probably will need the Neo driver pack to use it actually)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1577225sunstorage,

OK. Now open the dialer. Press the "contact details" button, which you can see to the right of all contact names on the list. Any luck?

Now press the right softkey and choose "Open contact". No luck again? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sunstorage:
Well - rally bad bug! I did not find it yet since I am a new SBP user ;)

Do you know is it HTC related or its common for all Windows Mobile phones? Is it a "new" defect in 3.5 or just SPB Shell defect?

I hope they will fix it soon...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
It's incompatibility of new HTC dialers and Shell. The devs of Shell say they cannot do anything about it.

I'm sure you will find more bugs later on :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sunstorage:
If it is HTC dialer issue then it can be fixed by changing the Dialer module? Is it possible? Sorry for the off topic...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Yes, it can be fixed. Try to find the native dialer for the HD. Or use third-party software like Iconsoft etc.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
Thanks for the info! Now Topix is perfect after all! :D

BTW: I tried a newer 6.5 ROM the last couple of days and would like to post some feedback for Kwbr. Although the 6.5 ROMs are definitely slower than 6.1, there are some features I really liked: The increased finger-friendlyness and the buttons moved to the bottom of the screen! It's really nice not having to stretch my hand all the way to the top of the screen just to tap "ok", "x" or the start menu icon! While the first feature is not that big of a deal - the second one is... I personally would definitely sacrifice some speed for a Topix-ROM with the buttons at the bottom! Just my 5 cents...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sunstorage:
Thanks a lot - can you link me to "native HTC dialer"? I am unfamiliar with HTC versions and will be hard to find "old" one.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
You can do this with a program like HDTweak (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452505).

Here you can adjust several things, among which the usage of the left and right softkey.

Good luck!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Sorry, I cannot. Not sure that the HD dialer exists as a cab at all.

It's almost the same dialer with less functionality. No such buttons on the right of contacts etc. I don't think you need that dialer anyway :)
