Yes. Installed a minute ago.

You know what? It works! Thanks a lot!!! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ThatGuy2303:
Just installed this ROM. No problems so far. Still hoping Kwbr makes a Dutch version of this... ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Timbojames:
Hi Kwbr, thanks for 2.3, downloading it now.

I was wondering, in the changelog of 2.3 I see Manila 2.1 while in the changelog of Topix 2.0 i also see Manila 2.1, are there any differences? in another post I see '- Manila 2.0 CFC edition (THANKS Chainfire)' I'm a little cunfused about the Manila version and if there are any differences.

Maby not the right place for this, but can anyone tell me of the dusk 2.1 theme works on the latest Topix, in 2.2.3 the startmenu didn't work.

Thanks for your hard work Kwbr!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ThatGuy2303:
I have it working on Topix 2.3 without a problem. Although without the WinBar parts. Startmenu works.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
No problem for me ... I can rotate the screen as much as I like without any hangs or other problems. Try a hardreset or see what installed application can have this effect.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Changelog is changed. 2.0 was indeed a manila 2.1 version also but it was an earlier (Tmob) version. I reverted back to manila 2.0 in topix 2.1. The latest version uses an offical hTC manila version 2.1.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Timbojames:
thank you, that is what I wanted to hear!

I must say, I was a little dissapointed that the youtube link on the internet tab is gone, but the start menu being completely empty makes up for it!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Ok, fine. But does 2.3 have a program tab or not?

Thx, nearly
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
It nearly has one :)

Actually, no, it doesn't.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
A quick followup on this - I consider CPU usage to be one of the major aspects of an MP3 player. Your numbers are similar to mine, but also consider MortPlayer - while playing MP3 in the background, it barely registered 0.1% in FdcSoft TaskManager.

As Mort himself has admitted, it's a bit bloated with complex features, and I have yet to find a skin I like, but given the low CPU usage, and bookmarks support, I'm trying very hard to like it... :-)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Oh thanks, i nearly installed it.

So, is there anyway to get the program tab back?

(btw Am i´m really the only one who´s thumb just isn´t long enough to reach the upper left corner?)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bouloama:
Is this rom UC compatible?.. i could not find it in the first post..it would be easy due the frequent updates!

version 2.3.1 is comming up as stated in the changelog page!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonydesouza:
No problem for me too...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
You left-handed? Me too. I mean that, since I'm left-handed or maybe despite of my being left-handed, I hold the device in my right hand.

So, this is applicable for me too.

I think kwbr had some issues with adding the program tab and keeping the old start menu, but he's gonna make it anyway! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bouloama:
I love the new start menu.. its so fast.. compared to the other roms.. i really like it! I just want to know if this rom is UC capable.. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi nearly, I haven't found a way to fix that yet :rolleyes:

Something more on the subject. When you set Manila://programs.page.hidden to 0 you will see what the problem is. A solution might be to use another manila.exe but I have not tried that yet since I don't care for now. You can try the attachement and see if that works. Disable manila, reboot and copy the file to \windows.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:

Suggestion for next Topix release @kwbr

@kwbr: first of all thanks again for a GREAT ROM, I have been using you ROM since 1.6.1 and again I must say congratulations.

But I do have a small suggestion: On the home screen the right soft button points to Camera and the left to WM contacts. I personally do not use the camera that much on a day to day basis (and asume that is also normal as it is at the end a smartphone and not a camera), I would suggest that instead of pointing to camera you point to All People as normally I would think that most users would rather perfer having a direct softkey to the the Manila Contacts. You could also point the left softkey to for example to Phone.

This is just my humble suggestion and you probably have a good reason for doing the things you do..so please do not take this personally:) it is just a suggestion...anyway I will still keep flashing you great ROMs. Thank you

PS: I know that this also can probably be changed with some registry tweaks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonydesouza:
You can do that with advanced config or HD tweak...So, what's the point !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
2.0 RC1 actually had the best softkeys (for me).

Left on Camera and Right on All People.

Maybe you could make this default?

I don't think anyone would mind since everyone always tries to change them anyway.

Also I don't think it's useful to put the left softkey on phone because pressing the hardware call button also goes to phone anyway.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] germaansboefje:
Just kidding around a bit, although the bootscreen is a real eyecatcher....Rom is running very, very, very smooth
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonydesouza:
Maybe you could post the bootcsreen...in order to test this "eyecatcher" :D:D:D:D,

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cadenza:
Hi kwbr,

first, I didnt know you're from Germany!! Hehe, das ist echt cool dass mein Lieblingschef aus Deutschland kommnt;):)

second, Im on 2.3 and today I signed in to Twitter, so I wanted to try PocketTwit. I get amessage that it needs Framework 3.5, so I don't know, but I need the NET3.5 instead of the new NET3.7:( Do you have a cab to "overwrite" the older version? I hope there are some cabs, cause I absolutely dislike to install through ActiveSync...

and third, I see you put the Windows7 Bootup in, Im sooooo happy:):) Hehe, thats the first thing I install after PPCPim and Resco Explorer;) So really thank you! But for now Ill stay with 2.3, cause I already "changed" the things in your changleog by myself;)

Thanks a lot for your hard work!!!!

Many greets, cad^^

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sonydesouza:
You can also use softkeymanager... :cool:...or try to change softkeys with HD tweak...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
pockettwit should update the check and allow net3.7 :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cadenza:
lol, thats my thought, too, but until then I wanna use this ROM, so I wont have a chance to use it... Somehow, I don't like NET Framework, already had so many problems because of incompatibility..:'( amyway, thanks mate;)

Many greets, cad
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
sorry for my answer but thats just the true.. maybe they did not recognize (until now) there is a new framework version out ? could be reality.. maybe you send them a mail? would (maybe) faster than waiting and waiting.. we know our firms.. :) and i can understand you very good! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bouloama:
The new .net framework doesn't support direct x atm.. thats an issue why some application don't run smoothly on v3.7

Program Tab

I can´t try it because i´m still with 2.1.1. So, could you tell me what the problem is? When dutty changed to manila 2.1 i tried one of these "program tabs+4 icons" things. It did work , but the icons where way to big. If it´s just that i can probably live with that.

But anyway, apart from a little f-symbol in the facebook contacts i can´t see any benefits from manila 2.1.

Would you mind to make a manila 2.0 version with net 3.5?

(I hope i´m not asking to much)

Thx,

Hi Kwbr i'm using 2.3.0 version of your ROM and i'm pretty happy with it i just wanted to ask did you use the performance upgrade drivers from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442712 in your newest versions or they aren't ready yet.Cause I read that other ROM builders already use them just curious about it.

Hi,Anyone know

How to revert back to old start menu with Manila v2.1?

I have many games and applications in my HD...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi Andes, I use the drivers from hTC Twin en Rhodium. As you can see they give a real good performance in gaming as well in movie playing. The graphics can be pushed even further with gfxboost. The reason I don't use this is that gfxboost effects the overall performance (not always in a possitive way) and because it still has some issues (e.g. coreplayer). So I leave that up to the user.

Something for a new release.

Oops, icon will be back in the new release.

Hi cimbom, will be fixed :)

Old startmenu will be available in the new release. Including manila 2.1 (with blue theme some of you asked for so many times ;)).

good job!

hey professor,

haven't tried a cooked rom for a while (since i started cooking my own roms) but ran into a benchmark spreadsheet that pointed you as one of the top 5 in terms of overall speed so i decided to give it a go.

man... very, very, VERY good job. i am really happy with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Definetely a good job kwbr...

However I have one issue and one question.

Issue: Links in opera do not always turn green when you click them which makes it hard to determine which one you actually clicked.

Question: I really like the manual screen rotation however I'd prefer to assign it to another button like the home key. The call button used to be assigned to the voice dial...

Thank you!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rutgerprins:
He kwbr,

is het de moeite waard om van 2.2.3 naar 2.3.1 te gaan? En zou je misschien het nieuwe start menu in een cabje kunnen zetten?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grayme:
Does anyone else use MTPLoader? I've just recently found it as a fantastic program which gives you a Second today screen as a tab (which is ideal for pocket breeze rather than the calendar tab).

unfortunately it doesn't work on manila 2.1 yet, so I'm stuck on 2.0, has anyone found a good alternative?

also still looking for a way to switchoff ALL screen rotation till pushing and holding the green key, then turning clockwise.

connection setup database request

Hi kwbr.

I have been trying the different 6.1 ROMs and I like your presentations the best and your proposal to enable the old start menu in your next ROM.

One thing that would make it perfect would be using the database that dutty and laurentis uses (version 2.7/build 37654 db15.0137)

This enables easy setup of my local carrier in australia

Even when I do the update database it wont give me the option for my local carrier.

These have been the only roms I have seen so far in my 3 yrs of using these devices that give me this option (virginmobile which is part of the optus network)

Is it possible to have 2 versions of the new topix 2.4? One with the blue version and one with the default black version? I prefer the black one!

I Agree, Please give us a black manila 2,1.

I'm now usining Onkolog's full v1 with a (almost) black manila 2.1.

It should be possible to enable / disable it with a cab, since its personal. a few like the new and some others like the old start menu.

BUG:

Screen rotation software, like changescreen are idleing in the background but are not responding after a while (say 4 hours). The screen rotation software needs a restart and its fixed again.. very anoying bug..Could this issue have to do something with the new 3.7 netCF

Isn't it better to report this, or any bug related to third party software, in let's say the changescreen thread? You can easily test this yourself by the way by installing the .netcf 3.5 cab ;) And yes, this will cost _you_ some time :)

free ram 45%, stable and smooth as I had softreset 2 hours ago :)

now aint this supercool??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bouloama:
Thanks for your comment about this issue but I allready installed .netcf 3.5 and tested changescreen with it. I will also report this in the changescreen topic.

Since I have 2 HD's and testing them simultaneously with different roms on them, iIm able to compare the topix roms to others. In this case the other is the L26 v2.5 which does not have this issue. That is the reason why I posted it in this topic. :D

I made the assumption about the .netCF version since de L26 uses the v3.5. But I'll see what they say in the changescreen topic.

Bedankt :rolleyes:

Hi kwbr,

I've spent these days on your 2.3.1 and I must finally say that the new Start Menu is... well, it is a bit too slow. It is faster than it is on ROMS other cooks, but still it's slow.

I hope you have really found a way to issue 2.3.2 with the new Manila and the old Start Menu + Programs tab.

Can you please share with us what else you've changed in 2.3.2? I don't mean blue Manila or other cosmetic changes, but is there anything more important that you've changed? :) Maybe folders in the Programs tab?

Thanks again.

There is really no point in trying other roms, I always end up back to Topix.

Your latest rom is just beatifully made compared to other roms, and even if your version of manila 2.1 does not support other languages, it's no issue.
