[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sir.B:
Thank you for the ROM

and for resurrecting your support for this ROM

after meandering around other ROMs i re-flashed your great effort

Have you seen or heard about CFC for Manila? It promises performance improvements for Manila, i could not get the live patch to work on any HD ROM, but i hope you have some time to look at and consider implementing it in your future ROMs.

i hope you have time to be around for a long time to come

thanks again
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] J0bo:
Thanks for the ROM, one strange thing is happening though, Not sure why or how it's doing this as I have not spent any time on working it out. It keeps shutting the device down then it does not start up again by pressing the power on button? I have to take battery out and then it restarts "strange"

Any one else experiencing this??

J
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I will take a look at it. Thanks for your support :)

[Edit] it uses file compression. I don't think it will speed things up because of this. It will only free some memory, or am I wrong?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Nope, no problem here. Try a hard reset.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sir.B:
it'a a long thread, but in this post Chainfire mentions "...on-the-fly decompression of the images is actually faster than the flashdisk access."

there are a few other things that the app does to optimize images, but the final decision i leave in your hands

thanks for looking at it though
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lynne02191:
Hi, I like ur ROM, but could you tell me how to change the boot screen, thanks :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheTrooper:
This 2.3.1 rom is based on new on 1.21.841.0 update from 08-01-2009 or it is still 1.19.831.0. (bootscreen shows 1.19, in registry there is 1.21)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] weetabix1980:
I love this rom but somehow its not very compatible with touchpal. Random justs crashes and then i have to reboot. Is this a known problem with touchpal or in comination with your rom maybe?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sir.B:
not to sound mean or rude

but

this is not a ROM related issue

and should not be addressed to the Chef

stop clogging up the inter-web-pipes

please search the forums

there are many posts directly related to your topic of interest

HINT: search for welcomehead.192

if u mean the boot screen then try touch hd bootscreen
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] J0bo:
I have reinstalled the ROM (Awesome BTW Cheers!)and experienced the same issue of it turning itself off and not booting up when pressing the button, kwbr your suggestion of doing a hard reset worked, thanks dude.

Another thing though I don't seem to get the list of last run programs in the start menu?

Anyone??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] .void:
No problems here.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi J0bo, great to hear the hard reset worked. Please read the faq before posting questions. The list of last run programs is cleared after each soft reset for a faster boot. So everything works just fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] J0bo:
kbwr cant find the faq that mentions about clearing history?? anyhow it started doing it again powering off and not turning on without reseating battery.

If I install another ROM it's fine, just Touch of HD that's causing the issue?????

Very perplexed...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lynne02191:
actually, i did some research before, the welcomehead.192 that i found is working but other one which called 'HTCanimationstartup' is not functioning properly, I thought that might be ROM related issue, cos its seems everybody else don't have such a problem :( anyway, thanks for your information, I'll take a walk around this sector myself :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Like I said. After a reboot the progam history gets cleared in my rom. I really don't know what is confusing here. And yes this rom has things other roms don't have but what is "working fine"? I like it this way. If you don't like it you don't have to use it :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] J0bo:
kwbr the thing is I really like your ROM and want to use it, it just keeps switching my HD off and it will not start up unless I reseat the battery. I understood the ram clearing issue on your first reply and am not complaining in any shape or form about the ROM's ingredients Just letting you know what's happening when I install your ROM which I think is the best one out there.

I have looked around the net and can't find and answer to this issue? will post back if I find a fix.

Cheers

J0bo
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I don't think is a rom issue. I am running it without any problems and it is downloaded so much without any complaints so far. Did you install any third party software?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] J0bo:
kwbr

No, this is a fresh install without installing any apps or even doing a syncs or messing with settings. also same with hard reset and seems to be intermitent, I can switch device off and then back on again twice and on third attempt it does not come back on, or if I leave it to go into standy by it does not come back on again.. stock and other cooked roms work OK?

Very strange behaviour. No worries though might be my device, will use stock ROM for a while as spending to much time messing around.

Cheers anyway

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] starbuck123:
kwbr,

How do I remove/uninstall the Activesync killer? I use Activesync all the time so I need this to be active.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sir.B:
you can disable it

got into \Windows\StartUp

delete ASyncKiller from this folder

and reboot/reset your HD

WoOoW !!! :eek:

2 hours after flashing to 2.9.3.. Installed all apps, serfed the web & played around the HD.. The speed is unbelievable!!!

Unless there's a new version with remarkable updates, this ROM is difinately a keeper :)

A million thanks kwbr.. Great job as always ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] crashDebug:
i was wondering about the "kwbr edition" and "standard edition". now i see you dont offer both anymore, did you keep the kwbr edition or did you discard for good those updates?

I was just gonna ask you about your opinion on it, since you've tried the extendir version before..

This ROM is SUPER !!! :D:D:D

Edit: I wish I had a PayPal account... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jolas:
Because I'm very pleased with speed and memory management of 2.9.2 BUT I have to admit that it is difficult to resist flashing a new ROM, can you please compare new 2.9.3 with 2.9.2 regarding memory mgmt and speed?:o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
i prefer 2.9.3, because its really a bit faster than 2.9.2 in the end, also its work to flash and setup the cellphone again you really should give 2.9.3 a try and donate to kwbr finally ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] richzzp:
It's a rom with great speed and efficiency!

It will be more faultlessly if adding chinese support in the region settings, especially for these chinese users.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] beautyangel:
Amazing Rom

Awesome speed, Really amazing and speechless... Keep it up bro, U r on the way HTC gonna knock Ur door for advises and kick off HTC Programmers Asses:p.

Thanks for your reply, I think I have to do both! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Super777man:
seems to be having problem sending file from my notebook to HD using 2.9.2.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
at least as good as the extendir ROM.

the most amazing thing of KWBR's Roms is the total lack of bugs! i do remember that before discovering KWBR :p i was spending hours and hours trying to "kill" all the bugs. there were (still are) loooooooong threads and lists after lists of bugs with hotfixes and cabs...having a fully functional ROM could take some times days and by the time everything was functional....a new ver will be posted, with new bugs :D.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
And that's why I like it :)

I'm waiting for benchmarking this great ROM...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] IceEyz:
Today I had the same issue reported before by some others... Boot freezed at the Startup Animation.

2.9.2 Was a great ROM, extremely fast and fully-featured... Just a shame this had to happen :/.

Lots of installed apps, so can't track why this happened, but I do know the following: Tried to run Wdaft yesterday, but got out-of-memory errors with just 52% mem usage. Didn't bother right then so left it on during the night.

Decoupled the adapter this morning, it kept thinking it was still being recharged. Tried to run Pocket Informant, but it wasn't launching correctly. Decided to soft-reset.. hang right after the HTC-Animation was done.

I know it's all in the game with these roms, but please, it definately seems to be an issue in this serie of Roms.

Thanks for all your efforts, flashing 2.9.3 now :).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
it must be one of yr programs or a TF3D (graphics) tweak! how many of us, users do have the same problem??? as for myself, after using ALL kwbr's ROMs, i have never encountered this!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I never had these kind of problems so I think it depends on the programs you use in relation to memory/cache usage. Since topix uses dynamic cache allocation you might want to try to set some of the caches to a fixed size. Following keys need to be changed. Would be nice to get some feedback on this. You can easily change these with a tool like hdtweak.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00008000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]

Mine flashes normal but can not load Manila, i tryed a lot but no luck have to go back to 2.9.2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
No need to repeat your comment :) I really don't know. Haven't had this issue and it is not reported by others also. Make sure you perform a hardreset and don't interrupt the installation process.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
24 Tabs?

@Kwbr,

This rom is quite brilliant and haven't found any bugs as such. I've noticed that the 'new' start menu only has 24 tabs as opposed to the normal 30 found on Manila 2.1 Roms. Has this been modified to this or is it a feature of the new Manila version?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
KWBR, good ROM 2.9.3 as usual, thanks again :D

Would extendir still have added value, is it still under consideration?

Something completely difference:

If someone might experience “clog ups” and “bad flashes” MTTY could be the key here to flash your HD by a failsafe procedure.

Perhaps you can pick up your knowledge fom the treath of MysticGenius, good luck!!

Awesome ROM, but where is Active Sync? Am I blind or has it been removed? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
Personally I don't miss extendir but I can build a version with it next week :)

Thanks KWBR, the truth of this extendir part left in the middle, lets see if this can make some real difference.

It's al about make something from that's already very good maybe can be even better :D

From the fact that Topix 2.9.3 is great, let there be no doubt, Topix 2.8.6SP (with extendir) was fast with a extreem good battery life.

Fast results mostly in a poor battery life, something to pay attention.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] imUncleBill:
I would prefer Topix 2.9.2!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] malson:
?

Where do you see the problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] barisahmet:
I think so. I would prefer 2.9.2, I think it was smoother in manila. At least for me it was.

Is there a cab for the Active Sync app? Really need to get my phone connected to my work's exchange server.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] athosk:
how is the sms reply on this ROM?

Everyone else with Manila 2.6 has had problems as being slow or not able to reply an sms and had to write a new instead.

Anyone tried this?

Thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
scanie, active sync is in the ROM, it works (dit you try that already)?

You could even synchronize with outlook over the air if you have a the right provider subscription, just have to configure it in your mail setup.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Take a look at Start Menu\Accessories
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scanie:
Hahaha, thx! That's what I was looking for. Checked all sections except Accessories ;)

Edit: I am unable to click on the "Set up your device to sync with it" link. Nothing happends, the link gets selected but that's it. I tried a soft reset but still no difference.

Suggestions?

Yes, I saw that. But I also need to sync my contacts and calendar.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
Okay, that's related to ' Active Sync' (XP) or 'Windows Mobile device Center' (Vista) on your comuter,

it's there to give in what you want to synchronize, contact, notes, mail... This treath supports only kwbr ROM :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scanie:
Uhm, I'm not following you here. I don't want to sync stuff from my PC. I want to connect to and exchange server over HSDPA - with Active Sync :)

You don't need a PC to do it, so Windows Mobile Device Center has nothing to do with this issue, the problem is that the link in your ROM does'nt work :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ROBLANS:
You start asking about a cab for activesync right? Indeed that has nothing to do with connecting by HSPDA to Exchange (outlook).

l'll think I din't see your problem then, connecting tot Exchange by HSPDA works flawlessly for me.

All you need is to configure a proper mailsetup for that.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] scanie:
Hehe, yes I asked for a cab for the application (Active Sync) on the phone because I could'nt find it :) But when I found it I was unable to open the settings wizard for servers and such.

Performed a hard reset and got everything working now. It's really smooth.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I will run some tests this week. See what I can do.

Great it worked out for you and thanks for your feedback. First thing to do when you have problems is a hard reset.

NFS Undercover

Hi,

NFS Undercover is not working for me the first time with Topix. When i had Duttys roms every other rom didn´t work.

@kwbr: I changed below values to see if it changes anything, but it doesn´t.

thx,

nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Well...me too. Again. Since i disabled startup animation in 2.8.6 i had no problem with this anymore. Today i installed 2.9.3 and bang! Unfortunalty i can´t disabled the startup animation with sashimi. Just the registry entry doesn´t work. Any suggestions on that? Is there a file to change?

thx,

nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Never had any of these problems. You've got a pm.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] IceEyz:
Use HDTweak to disable the Startup-animation.

I also edited the cache sizes kwbr mentioned, set them to "Large" in HDTweak, does use a bit more memory though.

Anyhow, I definately think it's faster than 2.9.2, and a lot of changes too. Like the new highlight-colors and the new slider. Gives it a rather expensive look.

Cons in 2.9.3: Font in SMS-tab changed and it's too big, and not scaling down according to settings. Stocks tab smaller for content, Programs Tab less icons per screen, Internet tab as well.

Nevertheless, it's the best rom out there :).

Ps. On the Bootfreeze-issue: I use Spike's excellent Colored Icons as a mod, and have the following software installed:

* Resco Explorer + Reg Plugin

* Pocket informant

Coreplayer

* G-Alarm

* G-Profile (Edits backlight, sounds, etc.)

* LockMeLite

* MemMaid

Midomi

SkyFire

* TouchPal

* Google Maps

HyperGPS

* Microsoft MyPhone

* Spike's Icons

The ones marked are usually found running in memory, or have services running 24/7.

If everybody with this issue could report a list with their running software, we might narrow it down at some point..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mr.vandalay:
i always did it with hd tweak. could you post what is that reg entry... i also use sashimi :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation

Well, as i told you. It doesn´t work. This value refers to a file windows/animated.gif or not. But if i export that value and then apply the reg-file it doesn´t work.

Tell me if you find a solution.

thx, nearly

hm. i tried it again and now it works (at least manually, without sashimi)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
I actually prefer the larger SMS Tab font. It's easier to read on different coloured backgrounds...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hamkeng:
Another Great Topix

Thanks kwbr, for this fantastic rom. :)

Just finished my setup with Sashimi ( 47 files and settings)and some other stuff with no issues whatsoever.

Good looking snappy rom where everything works.

The only thing is the thing IceEyz point out: "Cons in 2.9.3: Font in SMS-tab changed and it's too big, and not scaling down according to settings. Stocks tab smaller for content, Programs Tab less icons per screen, Internet tab as well."

For many versions now, the font size in manila has been perfect, but I agree this version has too big fonts.

But again I agree with IceEyz: "Nevertheless, it's the best rom out there."

Will do another donation tomorrow.

SMS font size

i think there is an SMS Extension cab of Dutty somewhere in the forum...it lets u change the size of the fonts by clicking on up-down arrows.

found it on my PC and uploaded to rapidshare:

Hi,

would you mind to take out Xtract? I know i can uninstall it, but its an extra step and anybody can just install it with his cab-installer.

I got these kind of things on the storage card, so i have never to reinstall them and never loose my personal data(savegame). But if it´s installed already, i mess up everything.

Meanwhile other people ask for example to take out totalcommander, the black color from the folders and other things that i would say, give an identity to Topix. But Xtract doesn´t.

Or people are making a fuss about the number of Opera tabs, athough you just have to copy a single ini file, which even does Sashimi for you.

But nobody gets these kinds of comments. (Not doesn´t worth them ;-))

Thanks. I hope you don't change too much with this version. 2.9.3 is probably the best Topix rom I've used and I've been on them since 1.something...

Oh yeah and as someone said, Magic8Ball doesn't work on 2.9.3, minor tho as I never really used it. I also remember in all the WM 6.5 versions I tried, Magic8Ball didn't work on those either...

2.9.3 really is a top rom!
