The difference between 3.1.2 and 3.2.1 (which i'm currently running) is very small.

The battery life is very good, it can last for days with my moderate use (5-10 texts, 10 min calls, every 30 min email update, some surfing) and with wifi on it doesn't drain much faster!

The speed is good, i don't notice any lag when dragging across the manila bar and opening a text or email is almost instant.

When you compare them side-by-side (with two HD's) you'll probably see some difference, but it's not noticeable in day-to-day use!

So you get (almost) the speed 6.1 with the fingerfriendlyness of 6.5.

sdkcerts.cab in Topix 3.2.X

Dear kwbr,

I´m going to flash your latest rom (Topix 3.2.3) and afterwards I would like to replace the original taskbar by tsowen's, the question is... ¿do I need to install sdkcerts.cab?.

Thanks for your help and yor roms,

Juan
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Matthes42:
Take a look at the benchmarks. So you will see that there is a significant difference in speed betwenn those two versions. WM 6.1 is faster than ROMs with WM 6.5

Here´s the link (but you will find it under the sticky threads as well):

I see your using Topix 3.1.1 from your signature..do you notice the speed increase etc? thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mcdull:
I am sorry that I might not make myself clear. The CPU usage is referring to the WinMo (TouchHD) not the PC. I did not use activesync with PC at all.

I guess the problem would due to the sync server with m.google.com

I am syncing with calendar and email service. Nothing else.

I don't even have a partnership with any PC yet.

before you do that, please backup the same Manila file that is already default in the ROM and share it to me. THANKS

Hi Guys,

KWBR - great rom, it is 1 of the best I've tried so far and I have tried quite a lot!!

If anyone would like a small little battery meter that shows by 1% then try this file attached, I cant remember when/where/how or WHO created it but its very good....

Go to the settings tab of manila and then the left softbutton (More or something (its in dutch on my phone so i'm not sure about the english version ;))).

This will bring you to the original settings menu of WM, there you can choose connections and then again connections.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MatthewYiu:
Hey thanks for the fast reply! Found it!

this rom is by far the most stable and fast ones i have used so far! this might be a keeper for a couple of days till i get the urge to flash again.

Thank you for the file!!! Yes, it's because of this really nice Taskbar here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=580568 If you install this nice black Taskbar the Manila Volume-control doesn't work anymore. So you need only to copy the original Dll back to Windows-Directory and the Volume-control works again.

I want to report also an issue I recognized:

If you are using a BT-Headset you can't control anymore the Manila-Music player. If you press a button on your BT-control normaly the Manila-Player starts, but in newer Roms WMP starts playing instead. So here's a thread with some files where you might fix that problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5065793&postcount=89

(works for me, tested already)

I am using at the moment Topix 3.2.2 with a modified Homescreen, see attached file and with the Taskbar in above mentioned link.

For the clock you need the attached files.

The theme maker 4.1 you can use for making the slider transparent (first Tab on the prg).

Also recommend using kwbr black background in all Tabs (also attached) and the direct "All Settings" Link in Startmenu, and these icons here

Good luck... I don't take any responsibility if you break your Rom, for me it works flawless with Topix 3.2.2

Screen Off while speaking

I’m using the 6.1 ROM it is really No. 1

Can we let the screen go OFF when I close the phone to my ear?

Because during call the screen is touched and many clicks is done.

hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. is there a CAB to have Leo Theme in Home Tab for 6.5 version like it is in 6.1 ones? and a CAB to have the same image for all the Tabs?

2. regarding version 3.2.4 that is going to be released, could it include Opera 10 as default browser instead of Opera 9.7? it is really great!

thanks for this great job that is Topix series!! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
You the man! lol

Do you think it's a good idea to put Opera 10 in at the moment, Is it stable enough, does it vibrate, rotate etc?

I mean, it can be installed and they are still working on it as a beta. I used it for a bit but it wasn't the finished article....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lazy79:
i think opera 10 is ready to use.. used it on another rom (manila 2.5 build) some days ago and it was very nice. (in my opinion)

i even would like to have the latest netcf 3.7 build in it but i know it will never reach the rom ;)

also i would like to see co-pilot in 3d mode run as fast as the known motorcycle game on blackstone.. but there`s a fast 2d navigation mode.. brr ;) just a little sad joke.

have you all a great day.

looking forward, doesn`t matter what comes, i love topix ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] spud_work:
Will Topix 3.2.4 have a version of the HTC keyboard (EZinput) that is from kwbr's vanilla rhodium rom or something even newer? As i really like this particular keyboard and that is what is keeping me on the vanilla rom at the moment?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Eriol:
Hello, first and most important thing is that I want to thank kwbr for this marvellous ROM. I was using 3.1.2 for a while because there were so many negative views on WM6.5, but after using 3.2.2 intensively for quite some days I must say that this upgrade was the best stept to do.

Kwbr, I hope you will keep the HD and provide your superb ROM's in a new version from time to time! Whatever you decide, thanks already for all your work!!!

One may be stupid question: I am using kwbr ROMs because of stability, battery power and close to stock. Usually I install a different taksbar, but I am glad that kwbr ships with the original one so everybody can choose the one he/she likes.

Will this "High res home tab" affect battery life or stability? I do not exactly know what this ist ...

Cheers,

Eriol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] patp:
I find the power button works well for this!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
Thanks! That did the trick :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Not at all. The background is just the same as what's on the other tabs as default.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
My concern is that I use opera a lot and don't wanna be stuck with a buggy one cooked in. Say It's cooked in, then they release beta3 tomorrow, Kwbr will then have to cook another update. Why not just install it as a beta...

Just my 2 cents. Also do the majority prefer the larger htc menus with 9 items? I reduced it back as i think it's too much. Prefer how it was before...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] michoob:
Personnaly, the best Opera version so far, in terms of stability and display reliability, is the version 9.5.

But recently, I've tested the latest Skyfire version (1.5), and it's amazing!!! Just try it.

All that to say it is not important for me to know which version of an internet browser is built into the ROM since you can install and use whatever you prefer...

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
TBH, it took a long while for cooks to get "my location" running in our Blackstone. even the latest ROMs still have this trouble but not as they use to be. But with Topix 3.2.3 it always update my location on my experience, wherever I go.

try the following steps:

update your quick GPS.

go to settings and turn your wifi on,

head back to the Weather Manila Tab and update my location,

sometimes it takes a few attempts for it to update, but update it will
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
After I try other ROMs, I always get back to TOPIX.. I can say I really feel safe with it ;)

would be really cool if the 1% battery increment was included..

Truly admire your work kwbr :)

looking forward to the new build...

Just flashed this rom...am very impressed with speed and the look of it, am going to give it a full test over the next few days but the only 2 things that bug me is the size of the finger menu's.

I've altered the registry to restore the WM6.5 ones but they are still so big...is there any way to put them back to the default size and the only other thing is there a way to get haptic feedback on key presses for the EZ keyboard that I've had in other roms.

...otherwise all seems good and it could be a keeper :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BeliLuk:
Hi :)

1) I flashed HSPL and then used this Topix ROM. How can I check which ROM version and which version of RADIO do I have?

2) Also, which version of RADIO can be recommended?

3) in the future (I tried to find the correct informatio but I didn't manage or I didn't understand it) ... Can I revert to original SPL and then use USPL? Not for service but for normal use.

It is obvious that I didn't quite get all the facts right:D

Thanks in advance.

Finally I installed this ROM after a quick test of manilla 2.5... I was looking for a very very stable and smooth ROM which I believe this one can be as the first day of test looks promising to keep this ROM for a longer time...

appart from one bug i found (like on other new roms): i have the lockup issue (see here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=600499)...

i think this is a rom related problem, because never had this problem during the last 6 month of using a dutty wm6.5 rom....

thanks for your help if it can be solved... it is nice to see that i am not alone with this problem, but i dont know if other people have this problem with your rom?...

AND also, like kersey above, I would like to have smaller htc menus... dont know how to have it ????
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OnlinePredator:
After flashing a stock rom, I never had this problem again. Although from all the new roms, it only happened on one rom for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
this is what I dont understand, why so many people still prefer to suffer the endless parade oof bugs and problems associated with Man 2.5 ROMs. Why cant people just be satisfied with something stable and excellent for daily use, I mean I think most people surely wants to use their devices with a stable ROM in it. The best ROMs for our Blackstone really is any form of Rhodium Man 2.1 Sense Port.

I understand people always wants to know whatS over the hill, and its their own choice.

never had the lockup issue on any Man 2.1 ROMs i've flashed, Makbil and I have only noticed this on the Man 2.5 ROMs.

Topix ROMs and Vanilla Series ROMs Ive followed closely since Dutty Throy finished with the blackstone. Never had any lockup noted

But if anyone who wants THE MOST STABLE AND FAST ROM. - Kwbr's creation is the NUMBER ONE CHOICE.

Hi, today I he'd this freeze issue for the first time, with Topix 3.2.2. This is really annoying because I would hate to step back to 3.1.2 even though that was a superb ROM as well.

In the freeze-thread it is said that flashing a stock ROM won't help. As this seems to be related to Manila 2.5 maybe a Rom with 2.1 would do the trick.

I guess it has got something to do with weather animation on home screen. Can we all check this?

cheers, Eriol
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
All of Kwbr's roms use Manila 2.1

I've never had a 'consistent' lockup problem with Kwbr's roms. A few weeks back I had the problem were the phone would randomly hard reset itself. After flashing a stock rom this problem disappeared.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] t0k0m0k0:
I really do not understand why flashing a stock rom would change anything... neither why some people are talking about manilla 2.5...

but before reflashing again and reconfiguring everything, I am waiting for more investigations on this problem and thanks Eriol for your contribution, I am not alone with the topix 3.2.x and this problem...

my hope now: either it occurs very rarely (only 1 time in 2 days now), either someone find a rational explanation... (asking a rational solution is too much for a computer problem? :D )

and 4 all topix fan, this is not a critic of kwbr work whose rom customization looks very good for me! (so please dont come to say "be happy or leave"... if you dont have this problem, well... maybe we can find why others have it?)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Eriol:
Could you turn off weather in home screen and then see if the freeze still appears?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kersey:
I've found a way to via the registry to disable the HTC menus when using WM apps to return it to it's native WM6.5 style and have reduced the size of the menus so that they are still finger friendly but prettier...:D

If anyones interested I'll post the reg change.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Don't think this is caused by the weather plugin. I spinlock patched the drivers in the latest release and removed some filters from xip. I will use the unpatched drivers in the upcoming release, see if that helps. Strange thing is, only 1% of the devices seem to have freezes with this setup. I never had problems with that.

some have suggested to flash a stock ROM but as I have taken time to configure everything I prefer to see how it will evolve...

I like the simplicity and efficacity of your rom kwbr... I just miss the tf3d2.5 calendar which is very nice (which I have to replace with thumbcal)... but everything else is perfect.

and thanks for the suggestion about the htc menus ;)

by the way 2 small questions:

- how to replace the 2 soft keys of manila home??? (i though at first that softkey manager will do the job, but it is only for the wm today page... no in manila)

- how to put a shortcut toward manila's "all contacts" (as in the start menu) and not to the wm6.5 contact manager???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kersey:
Here we go, using your favourite registry editor, first you need to disable the HTC menus:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\CUIHandler - change DWORD to 0

Then to re-size the overly big WM menus:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt - change the value of HT to 1000 and Wt to 800.

These figures seem to be the best for me :D

Now the rom is perfect...hope the freeze of death doesn't come calling ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Did you notice the checkbox in softkeymanager that says "hTC Manila mode"? :D
