I didn't fix it, just kept my phone from enduring a hard reset. I switched back to fingerkeyb, and the problem is gone. When i chose the new htc keyboard as the active one, the strange behaviour returns. Wonder if the folks at HTC never test the most standard feature of all windows mobile phones... I lock my phone frequently, so this keyboard is a no go for me at this time. But its beta, and every member of this forum should know what they do when flashing, installing etc. :)

Setting volume during call

I searched this long thread and I didn't find any reference to this problem I'm having.

During a phone call I can't set the volume. I press the volume buttons and nothing happens.

Is this a bug? is this a feature :)? Is this happening only to me?

Thank you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
Can I suggest something, did u guys do a hard reset after flashing Topix 2.7?!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MAMeingast:
True, name suggestion doesn't work. Didn't realize this until you told me... I always go through my contacts to send a message, so I did notice this problem. Isn't the same problem present with Fingerkeyboard? Kinda odd that "add-on" keyboards always have the same problems... :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dingil:
I agree, all these are because of bad flashing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
True. Confirmed.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sokota:
It works for me! (I hope you are talking about the default keyboard)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
True :) It works in the default keyboard. It doesn't in Finger Keyboard with the corresponding option enabled.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Sokota:
Found out what the problem is.

It seems the Task Manager e-Natives Showcase has a compatibility issue with this rom (or maybe with all roms :))

Edit:

It seems there's a solution for this problem.

sms problem

hi guys,

did no one have the bug with sending sms from manila 2.1? i installed the latest topix 2.7 and can't send sms via manila 2.1.

i'm from germany using e-plus with prepaid card and still receive a message which says that i have to recharge my account... sending with outlook works fine and i have enough money on my account.

i just read that dutty's wm 6.1 rom (v4) got manila 2.1.38411 in your rom is 2.1.38158.2 - don't know if this will fix the bug. i'm not the only one who have this bug with manila 2.1 and the bug is discussed many times in this board...

Actually installed:

Topix 2.7 HD Unleashed (with Manila 2.1.38158.2)

Radio 1.14.25.24

Best regards

Hi,

I realisez yesterday that I've the exact same issue while traing to send a sms from the dialer, it simply doesn't work too.

I don't have this issue with the Message Tab as I replace it with the old usable one :

Manilla 2.1 is to me less practical, slower, visually heavier and less readeable than the good old 2.0.

Hope they will correct this in 2.5.

kwbr, may i ask where did you take the startmenu categories folders icons ? i like them a lot and I would like to have some more categories.

thank you!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mwright:
I am still a bit new to this cooked ROM lark - so please forgive the "stupid" question.

THis ROM contains versions of (for example) Opera and Google Maps.

Now - there are newer versions of these packages available. Can I just install the newer versions and expect them to work or is that likely to screw things up?

Thanks for your patience!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
they'll work. don't worry. i just installed the new google maps. now have two (the old one is cooked in the ROM) but the new one works without any problem.

You can use ResHacker 3.5 to open the tres.dll,will found icon files.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] CarlosT:
I usually don't express my opinion about ROMs but this one is special, really special. I have tried many ROMs, and believe me when I say "many" I mean almost every floating ROM in this forum. KWBR's 2.7 is just perfect: the fastest i've tried, superstable, bug-free and starts with more that 120MB of free RAM. I don't know how he managed to make this combination but I think this chef is a real talent.

I wonder how a WM6.5 kwbr ROM would look like?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ehsanij:
I totally agree with CarlosT, this is the best rom i have ever tested, after flashing to any ROM i have returned back to this rom, this rom has got excellent memory management plus stability. thanks a lot kwbr

Exclude Google Maps from the list of OEM applications

Hi kwbr,

Can you do us a favour and exclude Google Maps from your list of OEM applications included in the next release? That will save us all a lot of trouble as many of us prefer to either use a different GPS system or perhaps install one on storage card.

Wen u include it in the OEM list, it installs in the phone memory and uses up all the available space with its cache'. Plz dont ignore this request as many of would second this thought

thanks and best wishes
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
I agree also.

btw, kwbr, i was curious about the speed of 2.7 and gave it a try. And surprisingly, i haven´t got the stability problems (soft and hardresets) anymore that i had before.

Great Rom. Thx

Hi guys, Hi KWBR.

I'm having graphics issues with v2.7 and PocketPlayer.

I hadn't any problems with v2.4 + NeoS driver pack, but from now, with v2.5/2.6/2.7, PocketPlayer is sometime buggy when scrolling.

Anyone encounterning that?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Alkerion:
Hi,

I just found something quite annoying.

It's impossible to use copy/paste on Contacts :(

And when you have a new phone n° on a SMS and want to add that number to an existing contact it's just impossible, it automatically create a new one.

Is it me or this Manilla 2.1 is a real piece of crap ?

Do you encounter the same issue ?

BR
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] narlytom:
yeah i think this is a manila issue - i've noticed it before - very annoying!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeanfrederic:
yep, as you can't copy from any sms to paste in a new one...

I was laughing 'bout new iphone advertise and his wonderfull new abilities copy-paste, but now, it's less funny for us!

really nice problem

same problem in topix 2.7

the issue is: when in a call the caller can`t hear me at all (when i talk much louder the voice is "scratched")

i had L26 3.2 and the latest 3.55

any solution?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
You could at least tell which radio version you're using.

And please try flashing a different version anyway (try 1.13 and 1.14).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] pkmacola:
well ... all versions

i had 1.14

changed to 1.13

now i have 1.10

and the problem is still here
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dmitry N:
Well, I suspect this might be a hardware problem then.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Matterhorn:
I have the same problem with Manila. You can copy and paste with the standard Windows contacts and messaging apps.

Done the holiday yet?

have you got anything in the pipeline? I'm getting the feeling that 6.1 development is slowing down, what are you're views?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Hi dizzle, enough circle line, district line, covent garden and wembley cup :) A few days holiday left to brew us an update :D

6.1 slowing down? Don't know, indeed new roms slowly start bringing in packages built on top of 6.5.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Hmmm was gonna do the Emirates cup but can't :(

Anyways I look forward to when you put the apron back on. I like trying the new roms, so have spent some time on the new 6.5 roms. I keep 2.7 as my base for when I want to return to something that's fast and stable and am currently back on it now. I think i'm gonna give the new Manila 2.5 a go though to see what that's like.

Enjoy the hols!

Hello Kwbr, is it possible to have the button to switch off/on the 3G connection in your Dutch ROM? That's really the only thing I miss in the Dutch one. Just to save my battery which drains a lot faster than in Topix. Other than that, great ROMs!!! Keep up the good work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
When you press "missed calls" on the manila homescreen it goes to the new style missed calls. When I replace NotificationManager.dll to get the new missed calls notification screen from the taskbar also you will lose some other information like battery info. I tried to mod NotificationManager.dll but haven't found the address to patch yet. I will attach both dll's so you can sort that out if you think this is important. I spent 2 hours on that and don't feel like spending more time on it :)

Dunno ... doesn't blackstone have enough memory?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
We can only find that out by using and testing it :) Hope you can help with that :D

I will first release a version without extendir and later a version with this driver.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
A regular version is currently in upload and it is already very very fast without extendir. An extendir version will follow soon, I have to tweak extendir more. I have to sort out a problem with syncing notes and I want to try different caches. I ran some tests with 4mb cache and just cooked a rom with a 16mb cache. Curious what difference this will make. According to Shadrac a larger cache should be faster :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] narlytom:

after messing around with 6.5 for a few weeks, i have returned to the flock. i dont think you can be beated for everyday speedyness!

any idea of a rough ETA for the extendir version? (hours or days for example?)

using the 2.7 from the first day it went out. no problem what so ever with any of the functions/applications/programs. i flashed and keep using it without any tweak or additional cab. loaded with app, using hebrew support, 3 navigation programs...all the way. not a single problem!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] squirreleater:
Indeed,

2.7 has been working 100% fine since day one.

So glad your back! Fell victim to the hype of the benchmark thread and tried another Rom, only to find it was not a patch on Topix, but have been hanging on for a new version to arrive- hurrah!

Bet you bring out several revisions and an even more kick arse Rom the second I install 2.8!

I'm going to suggest Manilla 2.5 is too unreliable to be considered good enough for a Topix rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Mmm, I think 2.8 is a pretty good rom. Still playing around with extendir, think I found a small bug in there :) We will find out that tomorrow. So no shocking revisions I guess.

Indeed manila 2.5 is not meant for topix yet. People that follow me already for a while know that I tend to be a bit, ahum conservative. I prevail stability over high version numbers because I use my blackstone on a daily basis.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
Hmmm, not sure what to make of 2.8. 2.7 was solid and so is 2.8. Business as usual I guess!

Thanks. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] squirreleater:
Well 2.8 does seem to be a very nice rom, not sure about compared to 2.7 as I used a different rom for a few days and 2.8 seems lightning fast!

I'd so love the 2.5 manilla but I make lots of call during the day as well as texts and email so the phone has to perform basic functions- and 2.5 apparently can't do that yet after reading other threads, shame, but it will eventually.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dizzle:
I've tried 2.5 a few times and it is not ready for daily use. Some of the new things are neat but others aren't. Some of the graphics are wrong, i.e large program icons on homepage. Internet page doesn't work. Also IMHO the contact page is not as functional as the one on the current Manila.....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mems711:
I am interested in the graphics performance,.. the benchmark u posted is for the extendir version right?... you reckon the standard version is faster than L26;s 3.55? thx

Removing Google Map

Hi kwbr,

thanks for your precious work; as mentioned before is it possible to request you to remove google map from your next v rom becase it fills the the storage memory of the phone after using, it is a must have program that should be installed in the SD Card that has lots of space.

thanks for your time

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] andes83:
Hi I'm curently using the 2.7 version of Topix and I'm very happy with it i use the SPB Sense Theme and customized a lot of things to make it practical for every day use and to be quite eye pleasing .I showed it off to some of my friends with Iphones and they got quite amazed of the smoothness,beauty and speed comparing to their ugly things.So my question is is 2.8 very different cause I don't do backups anymore (they bug the roms every time I do it especialy SPB mobile shell backups) but if it's a big upgrade I just have to to try it (reinstalling everything all over again).Maybe it's better to wait for the Extendir "thingy" or I don't know....If someone can solve my dilemma I'll apreciate it as it's frustrating to choose between a perfectly set up device and a new system which will take at least a day to set up again but promises a change in performance.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] narlytom:
Hi,

i would say wait for extendir version. 2.8 (standard) seems slightly faster than 2.7, but 2.7 was still excellent.

as for backing up, i try to do it with as little software as possible. i manually copy the files:

- pim.vol

- facebookinfo

from the root directory to the memory card, and paste these back each time, which seems to do my contacts (including all contact pictures and favourites) perfectly. i dont bother backing up any text messages.

i do the same for the file \windows\opera9\opera6.adr which backups bookmarks.

i use makisu, which makes an xml file to backup email settings. you only have the create the xml file once, you then have to install makisu on the new ROM to copy in the new email settings, then i just uninstall makisu again. that works great - takes 30 seconds, then my emails all automatically sync again.

then i only have a very small number of cabs to install (e.g. a stopwatch, a gps software, an auto background changer, the manila 2.1 start menu), which i install manually.

finally (and this bit takes the longest), i put all my shortcuts on the start menu, and do a quick regedit to change the home softkeys.

including flashing time, it takes just over an hour!
