I always respect the work of kwbr and the time he spends in developing his ROMS, so I thank him in almost each one of my messages in this thread! In fact, he may be the reason for me creating a Paypal account in the next days, in order to thank him by making a small donation. I keep thinking that...

Coming back to our subject, after installing the latest ROM 5.4.2 COM3 sense, I keep getting the corrupt screen shown in the attached file, each time I open the Comm Manager. A similar screen comes up after a call.

I suppose this is due to bad flashing, but my question is: Do I have to flash a stock ROM each time before installing kwbr's ROM? If yes, why is that?

I use the USPL method, if it makes any difference. I always hard reset twice after flashing a ROM and this is the first time I have a problem with flashing.

Thank you in advance for your replies.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi g, I'll have a look at that
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
Same ROM, other issue. Mine works pretty well with WMA and Comm Manager.

You could try Task29 (though I doubt about his advantages since I still (it seems) have bad flashs.

Gonna flash right now and come back after the jump.

I am uploading a new release 5.5 at the moment. Some things fixed like image corruption some of you had. Updated mobile office, updated dialer in manila build and added marketplace in all builds. Com3 will be updated later this week.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
Thats AWESOME i become a Flashoholic with your Rom`s :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
Wow, that's fast !

Think I'll wait an hour before flashing again so.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I will update com3 later this week :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Thanks for these nice words tsalta. The cooking is indeed more than a 1 2 3 although I sometimes have the idea people do think it is. I indeed spend a lot of hours cooking and customizing these roms for the HD. I don't just reuse stuff but hand pick and tune most packages to get the best results. So, it indeed motivates letting me know in what way you use my roms and show your appreciation by ranking this thread or give a small donation. Again, really appreciated T
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
You are WELCOME :) U know that your ROMs are simple the Best and are Clear and Simple and all unused apps are removed this is how a ROM must to look like:)

I will flash after few minutes the new Manila version and i think to flash again later this week when the Real Frankenstein is Out.. im telling this because this will be the Real Frankenstein ROM a Brand new the latest version of Windows Mobile OS im talking about 6.5.X and on the same time the old UI Touch Flo Manila this is Real Frankenstein Im so Excited I CAN`T SLEEP NOW :) Wow

v 5.5 Frankenstein Manila COM3

Can not download this "kwbr TouchHD Sense COM2" ........400 BAD REQUEST??

Only me or ??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Please check again. This should work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
Downloads working fine for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geoponer:
Thank you for taking care of all these kwbr! I am waiting for the COM3 version, since I like the Start button better in the bottom left corner.

Since you already implement WindowsLive in your ROMs, would it be possible to integrate the latest version, so that we will not have to upgrade manually later on?

Thank you for once more.

impressive !

Hi chef!

What can I say about this rom... impressive!!

I installed 5.4.2 com3 1h ago this morning and it's flying!!!!!!!

You've done a very good job, thank you very much.

The best rom I've seen so far for my old blackstone. Putting rhodium sense 2012 instead of leo sense 2018 it's just brilliant!

waiting for your new 5.5 com3 rom.. ;D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alvedi:
buenos dias, yo estoy utilizando desde que salio la version 5.1, versiones anteriores, y siempre aluciono de lo bien que van todas las roms, pero la version 5.4.2 COM3, es la mas rapida que he puesto en mi HD, enorabuena Kwbr, eres el mejor.....un saludo
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Muchas gracias mi amigo
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vjeta:
vaya, yo esforzandome a escribir los mensajes en ingles y resulta que el maestro kwbr domina el español! xDDDD

All day with 5.4.2 com3 rom and no bugs found yet. With colossus start menu I've about 100mb of free ram ! impressive !!

You're the best!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Let the testing begin :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] leek1001:
Good, I'll wait for that one :)

I'm a little bit noob about flashing my phone, but im going to try it again.

Running kwbr topix 3.6 and having to much error's so let's start over again :D

Let's see how it ends.

Question: what's the major difference between manila en sense?

because, one time I see someone writing about manila and the other time about sense?

Sense is the interface for the touch sensitivity, right or not?

Greets, leek1001.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chautruong:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Big thanks BO, really appreciated
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farukb:
let's say that the main difference is in the main screen...

manila has call log and calendar shortcuts

sesne has quicklinks and calendar...and is a bit heavier and slower...but there is no big difference,especially in kwbr superfast roms...others though have speed issues regarding sense
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] leek1001:
Thanks for the information!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Humbie:
Internet not available over wifi

kwbr,

I am coming from your 3.2.1 version to your newer roms and am experiencing a problem with the wifi connection (as far as I know in Titanium builds 5.4.2 and 5.5).

After I flash a rom, I always leave sim out and sync with ms myphone first.

Your 5.4.2 rom has very little apps installed, so I have to install windows marketplace bootstrap first and while connected to wifi, the bootstrap can't connect to internet to download the full app.

In your 5.5 rom, both marketplace as myphone are already installed, so I try with myphone directly and same thing here, while connected to wifi, I get an error trying to connect.

I know that there's nothing wrong with my wifi, because other builds do this perfectly... AND while marketplace nor myphone can connect, IE mobile & Opera actually CAN, which I find even more strange.

Do you know any way to solve this (and perhaps build a new rom with this bug fixed)?

If you do, I'll be eternally grateful!

Kind regards,

Humbie
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcuscather1358:
flawless.im using yr rom for sometime and im enjoying it.whats with this "fisrtcallibration 0)" ?

bytheway,nice to c the darn htc black theme problem solved ;)

tnx alot :).way to go
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] devile:
Well, I've done a task 29, flashed 5.5 manila 2.1 and has been having issues with SMS reply. Sometimes when I reply to sms (not all the time), the message would pop up that the message is undeliverable. If I type a new sms, there would be no problem. I've got this problem with the pervious versions of kwbr manila 2.1 as well. Have tried different radios as well but it did not help. Am I the only one having this problem? Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] quendil:
As far as i know, first calibration = 0, removes the initial delay for the lock slider to go active when "touched"!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tuuquy:
Im a newer. Please tell me: COM2 or COM3 is better?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
There is not such thing like Witch one is Better.. depends from the USer choice

COM 2 is most Stable, Fast and less battery consumatin Builds so they are perfect for everyday Use but also they are not very finger friendly and you need to use the stylus.

COM3 are with Start Menu botton on the bottom and they are the latest cuting edges of Windows Mobile.. they are more finger friendly and easy to use.. and you can do all things just with one hand no need to use stylus in most cases.. some of the COM3 builds are very fast too and stable..

if you Ask me the diference is not SO BIG and often you cannot notice it with eye etc.. so you need to choice what you want Finger friendly Menu with Start button on the bottom or less finger friendly bust a bit faster build.

All depends from you do u will feel confortable with start menu in bottom:)

I love the Speed and stabolity of COM2 and i Love the visual look of COM3 heheh:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcuscather1358:
the odd thing is, it looks like im the only one experiencing delay (using autolock)and every new version comes out the same.its not a big deal but why "fisrtcalibration" value cant be "0" by default so i dont have to use a regedit cab ?

the roms great and this delay is like a scratch on a ferrari
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] quendil:
You dont really have to install a regedit cab. There is a regedit program already installed in the ROM (start > tools > regedit).

I think it's set to 1 by default (microsoft settings) in order to avoid miss-clicks and unwanted unlocks of the phone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcuscather1358:
adding to what tsalta said ,i experienced (mostly graphics) incompatibalities with some programs in com3. not having two 52pxls bars in com3 causing problems . for example i use ".lit" files alot and msreader2009 didnt fit well in com3 roms.had to go back to COM2
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcuscather1358:
why kwbr has put a picture of COM3 with start menu bottom on top? r we missing something here?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Great, fix will be part of the next release.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] twanj:
I am also waiting eagerly for the next release! Like a lot of people i would rather wait a bit longer for a bug free, stable rom like the pervious rom (whicj i love) in stead of keeping flashing every week :)

So kwbr keep up the super job!!

Thanks for all the work you put in here!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Datafanatic:
Me too.

I've tried a few of the new roms with new manila, and yes, they look nice (especially calendar and contacts), but everytime i return to kwbr's rom.

Stable, bug free, all/most 3rd party apps work - a fine example of how it should be done.

Eventually we will be at a stage where the new manila works as well as the old version does, and only then will i consider 'upgrading'.

Until then its kwbr all the way - no questions asked.

Keep up the good work kwbr, there are still many of us 'old skool' users out there!!

Regards

tv on your mobile

after having flashed your HD here is the procedure to get TV back on it (sorry i only have it for france):

change User Agent to:

De série : HTC_Touch_HD_T8282 Mozilla/4.0

and then on SFR you just have to go to the web site and go to:

you will then need to download the cab from the site SFRTVVideo.ARM.CAB

I'm the one that I've installed others new ROM, but everytimes I come back to kwbr's ROM.

CONFIRM!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
And please add the modded Total Commander also in the next release, it's by far the best modification I ever seen on the HD (together with the wallpaper for all tabs off course :) )

Plus an album fix!

give it to us kwbr :D:D

I´ve tried many roms but the kwbr are the best one´s

found a wierd problem here, when I sending 1 message to my friends, before the successful notification appears, I went to out box and opened the message, but after that, there is no notification appears which is usually dose, and I can't find it in 'sent items' but 'drafts' even the message is actually sent out successfully.

can someone else try the same thing for me?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xenocide976:
hi kwbr... its the wkend... give us some roms for test

:D :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ugumba:
aaahhh... my fix has arrived. cooome to daddy. Really anxious to see how the keyboard behaves.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
Me too. My myself I'm not going to flash just yet, but I would

really

appreciate you letting us know how the new keyboard works. Its a SLOW BEAST in all the other ROMs...

Thx again kwbr!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sir.B:
keyboard works fine for me, better than original HTC Keyboard, and i love it :)

which mode is sluggish? T9?

i don't use that one, because it almost NEVER predicts what i'm actually typing

and in ABC mode it has no problems keeping up

how fast can you type?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
Well I agree that it works much better and now (about time htc!) has correction when you miss a key, but in all the roms I have tried it is very very slow. Even off a fresh hard reset, with abc mode on (so no xt9) I can type just one sentence and get so so far ahead of it typing. Have to wait a few seconds for it to catch up on just one sentence.

What has your experience been w/ the new keyboard on other ROM's?

Can you type really quickly on this one and have it keep up with you?

Thanks,

Jim.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chaosxq:
Yep

He's right ive tried countless roms with the new keyboard and they're all as slow as a ***** for me. I did have a rom on my phone a few weeks ago and it was awesome with the new keyboard i cant remember which one it was though. I should have stuck with that one.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
Dang hmm ok. Still sticking w/ PCM keyboard then :)...

btw...are you saying that you have tried it on this rom right here as well?

Thanks for the info,

Jim.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] chaosxq:
Sorry

That weren't very clear was it? Umm no i havent tried this one. I am tempted because these are the most stable roms, but i don't want to give up that fancy new calender in the new manila.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xenocide976:
u answered my call. thank you kwbr!

old skool rocks!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geoponer:
I suppose that the picture was not updated to match the COM3 version. COM3 ROMS have the Start button at the bottom left corner.

I currently use 5.4.2. COM3 kwbr ROM and the Start button is bottom left.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcuscather1358:
but i didnt experience this 3~5 sec delay in other 6.5roms !!?so is it really microsft default value?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] quendil:
personally speaking, i have encountered this setting in every single ROM that i have flashed. so i had to change it every single time!

:)

that's how i also learned how to do it!

:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marcuscather1358:
used lockdevice in energy (cooked in) and minterror's .havent had this delay.

i hope chef gives his insight on this ...

This cab should help you. It helped me on 5.5 COM 2. Restart your phone after fix instaled.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stuntdouble:
I think you mean com2 is bottom right corner? Or is it the same as com3 with both bottom left? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] geoponer:
Yeap, I meant bottom-left... COM3 ROMS have the Start button at the bottom-left corner.

I corrected my message, in order not to confuse other users.

tnx my friend for being so reponsive and for your care about yr rom users.

yr new rom sir, i'll take two please :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsalta:
I think the COM3 Manila version have something wrong.. i mean that COM3 Sense when i try it for last was faster than v 5.5 COM 3 Manila this is not normal because the Manila is light etc an the ROM must to be faster.

I don`t know witch one Branch from COM 3 is good or not but on my device is very very slow from scrolling to running apps.. for example when i click on start menu i need to wait 1-2 seconds to open it. WOW its a big delay

When im Running some APPs is the same big waiting.. even when im using the File Explorer and surfing into the folders.. there is delay too.. the whole ROM is slow

and today i had the 1st SOD the phone just didn`t wana wake up from sleep and don`t wana DISC DRIVE only Actyvesync work right now for me.

I think there is something wrong with this build and manila because is not normal to be SO slow.

I think now will go back to COM2 Manila because is almost 10 times faster and do not have any delay.. you can notice this with naked eye.. in the latest COM3 Manila i need to wait for almost everything.

I flash it 2 times and always befor flash i use Task29 so i think is not Bad flash.

All others who use the COM3 Manila version please write here a review how you feel it?

Thanks

Top quality ROM as always! No bugs found whatsoever and the speed and stability are awesome!

One little thing that is missing from both com2 and com3 roms is the option to add home country codes when roaming!

Well, i had to find something to report!

:D

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kirdim71:
I have installed 5.5 c3 and looks great. One thing only. I use CVSD 1.2 to make speed calls. With clean rom double press of the bluetooth button launch voice speed dial. When you install anything or if you soft reset the device (i didn't try this) then double press brink you to the default or inesoft dialer. This also happened with previous releases of this and other 6.5 roms from you. Again thank you very much for your great work and support.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Using this rom for the first time. What do i have to set up to get activsync working? Can't sync anything with my pc :( last com3 manila 2.1 rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarshanNG:
Com3 with Manilla - Fast

Hi Kwbr,

This ROM is fast with avg 102MB free memory.

Thank you for this fast ROM & unique combination.

Only thing I found missing is the MS OneNote applicn from Office Mobile folder.

Hi Tsalta,

Initially after flash, I experienced a 2 sec delay to open Start Menu. But with subsequent uses after installing some apps & restarts, delay is gone.

I have had this ROM on for 8hrs now but no SOD. Never had SOD with kwbr ROMs.

Also had disc drive problem, but this was due some errors on my SD card. Windows7 scanned & fixed these & now no pblms.

But no delay in opening apps, scrolling etc.

Since, I had trouble after flash to set screen calibration, I did a hard reset once.

I also do a task29 before a flash.

Hope this helps in some way.

Regards,

Darshan
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] GarrettZZ:
same problem here
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkPrinceByWWW:
Flashed last Manila com2 rom, sync seems to be working :) Hope that someone will solve the sync problem with the com3 manila rom
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] quendil:
Com3 Manila synced fine for me (but i like com2's lock screen better so i went back to 2).

Maybe try a task29 before flashing guys?

;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkPrinceByWWW:
task29 (actually just a placebo effect) is the same as a hard reset after flashing a new rom. All the other WM6.5.x working well, also the com2 rom. But if some wanna test it, i would be very grateful for the feedback. Will use the com2 rom so far, until the next version or a sync fix :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi DP, I will check the sync issue in C3 Manila
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
:eek: Just for that? For your info, in the C3 roms you find the MS lock, the HTC lock and the simple lock. Just activate the one you like in Settings :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] accountabc:
syncing went fine for me too with the C3 manilla build (at least with initial setup).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
Running v5.5 com 3 Manila for a few hours now.

Everything runs fast and solid. Haven't tried to sync till now.

I just notice I can't log to Twitter again (as for former versions) and I can't find the 12/24h format setting.

Last thing is I can't find the IE Bookmarks from internet tab for adding a new push page.

Anyone knows about all those?

Thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
I don't have issues logging in to Twitter. Works fine for me. About the 24H format, check your manual (search for regional settings), I am really not gonna explain this :)

The IE Bookmarks, yes C3 manila is not a common build. Some things had to be modded to get it running anyways. You are right it is not there (Opera bookmarks are right?). If you find a solution let us know
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
For me too. Just in case, restart the phone after a first flash
