Ramerson's kitchen does not have a working XIP for new gene, It needs to be ported. Porting XIP is a topic for which you can find many tutorials here. Ameet Babarekar, our beloved MOD :) has posted some detailed tuts, check out those, use search. Anyways, i am sending you a saved chat of mine with one of the members of this forum via PM.

Black Metal rom

HI everyone, I have been missing in action since two days. Feedback and questions regarding Black Metal Rom are here...

Overall: Excellent 4/5 stars

Positives-

1. Looks (theme is excellent)

2. Fully loaded

3. Fast (but not as fast as Pro Users)

4. Task Manager definitely better

5. Very user friendly

6. Cam functions all right

Queries-

1. How to get 'tasks' and 'battery' icon on top menu (these two r a must for me)- tried hiding the clock, didnt work.

2. After reducing the width of the top menu bar (now it is 25 -left edge and 152- right edge) name of the application running is displayed twice. One on the bar next to 'start' icon and one below it

3. In programmes have to 'task manager' icons?? why?

4. Where can i get screen shot??

5. What is over clocking??

6. How to change the theme like Addicted2xda has done

7. In 'photos and videos' when the screen is dragged horizontally for next picture a line appears ( and then the next picture appears)

Thanks....:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Letme answer your queries one by one:

1. What is a task icon?? i dont get it. For battery icon, use the program "Advance Settings" from this forum to change the icon from clock to battery. Displaying clock is the default for Windows Mobile 6.1/

2.Yes, actually the original title also appears below the WKTask's own display. That is something you have to live with, else, disable WKTask from startup (its a setting in its preferences menu) and then use some other task manager like pbar.

3.There are three icons related to task managers in programs menu. First is WKTask icon, which starts WKTask in case it is closed down for some reason. Second is Task Manager Advance icon which starts a very advance task manager which can also be used as a registry editor, its a very small utility with a number of functions which i use for troubleshooting problems. So i included it for cases when people have some problem that need to be solved through it. Third Taskmgr icon is of the default Windows Mobile 6.1 task manager. It comes by default with windows. It is there so that if you want, you can use it to manage your tasks. The icon is originally present in Settings menu but i moved it to programs so that if somebody wants, he/she can assign a hardware button to run it.

4. Screenshot is a freeware app, you can get it from freewareppc.com

5. Overclocking is a general computing term which means to run the processor of your device above the default speeds set by manufacturer. It is usually not recommended for general people as though it makes the device faster a little, it shortens its life and if your processor get fried up due to getting heated up, you wont get warranty also.

6. For changing theme of manilla 2d, use M2DC (Manilla 2D Configurator) available in this forum. Search for it.

7. That is the default behavior of Photo Album's new version that is included in the ROM. Its just for your visual cue and is intentional.

I hope this will satisfy all your queries.
[P3400 ROM Development] nevermind_me:
Thumps up

@ Sumit Thanks a million for that reply. With 'tasks' I mean the icon found next to 'Task Manager' icon in 'programs'. The icon that looks like 'notes' with a tick mark.

Grateful for your detailed reply.....

You rock:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Glad my replay helped you :) I understand now what are you talking about but how come you can have that icon on the top bar? It never goes there. Battery icon is fine, do as i told before, but Tasks icon cannot go to the top bar buddy. Where have you seen that thing, could you please post a screenshot?
[P3400 ROM Development] nevermind_me:
Correction

Correction, not on the top menu bar, what i meant was the 'task' icon above 'Call history' and 'Calender'. I have seen it on my friends phone. Thank anyway

Oops! Sorry but that is not available in this Manilla theme :|

[P3400 ROM Development] chanote:
hi sumit

now i can use this rom:)

but i can't use my regional (thailand)

i use 3400i
[P3400 ROM Development] nevermind_me:
Batter power status
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
@chanote: Cant say buddy, i am a noob in this regard :|

@nevermind_me: Ya, that is the default battery display method of Windows Mobile 6.1. It happens on all mobiles with WM 6.1 unless they have been customised. If you can live with that, there is no need to download that utility.

I-Contact is a very good app, and i myself am a regular user of I-COntact Burt Edition. The reason i did not included it in ROM is that i dont mess up the ROM unnecessarily with software that can be easily installed on Memory Cards. Most of the programs in my ROM are those which you always have to install in phone memory. THat makes the device slow. And believe me, not every body prefers i-contact. So If you find it good, go ahead and install it, on phone memory or memory card, your choice.

And about Windows Mobile 6.5, its the next minor upgrade version of Windows Mobile being worked upon and is to be launched soon. Ankit's thread is related to a leaked version of beta release of the new OS (supposedly) that is making rounds on internet these days. Ankit experimented with it and cooked it as a working ROM. I was too doing it in the beginning but after confirming from a friend at Microsoft that this is not even a beta, but a pre beta release that they developed in mid of last year. Its in very early stage and most of the code is from Windows Mobile 6.1, thats why it looks like 6.1. Dont upgrade to that ROM, its an experimental version only. Ankit posted it for guys who would like to experiment with it. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Sorry guys, actually i was very busy and was also working on a Pharos ROM with one of my friend from this forum, Mohamed. This ROM has got the latest version of WIndows Mobile CE OS with Mailla 2D. It hasn't worked out till now, its making the phone stuck at bootloader even after porting the XIP. In the meantime, i am setting things right with the Black Metal ROM too. So, when i think its ready, i will update the new gene version and add the old gene one.

The biggest bug in this ROM is quiet irritating. If you do something such that the files in the ROM are overwritten (overridden actually, ROM files cant be written to) , for example installing a new manilla 2D theme, the access to Windows Folder becomes Dead Slow. Even if you remove the files, and restore ROM files, you wont be able to get the speed back.

The only way to solve this is to take a complete backup of Phone with some tool like SKTools and then restore it back. This will take your phone back to your original pace. And you dont need to take backup in advance, it can also be taken when phone is in slow condition.

This becomes irritating at times and if you are one of the Guys that install and remove stuff frequently from Windows Folder, stay away from this ROM. I am trying to find a solution but it seems like its a bug of this build of CEOS. Ankit's Manilla and Lite ROMs are affected too as the Manilla ROM is used as the base for this ROM. For those kind of users, ProUser's ROM is the best choice. I'll update that too with some new packages like newer version of Java etc in a few days. Bear with me till then :|

I hope you understand why i am not releasing the Old Gene version. I want to get it right first. But its up to you people, if you say i can also release it in the state that its currently in, after just appying the updates that i have.

So What do you guys say?
[P3400 ROM Development] htc3400:
OK sumit we will wait till you fix bugs with this rom....as you always prefer to release quality ROM's its understandable that sometimes it takes time...
[P3400 ROM Development] nevermind_me:
I Contact

@ Thanks Sumit for giving the go ahead for I Contact application. Can you suggest any application (or method) that can make my 'touch flo' more sensitive. I compared it with my friends phone, mine is not half as smooth.When the phone was new I used the back of the stylus to squeeze out the bubbles below the plastic film that came as screen-cover, may be i screwed the sensitivity because of it! Is this possible??

And all of us I think should be patient (for old gene users...) and enjoy what we already have (Pro User's rom):D

Cheers
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ya there is a fix to increase the touch sensitivity of your phone. A fellow here at XDA named azharsunny had made cabs for that. Find these at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=469865

There are 3 cabs attached with his post, 2 with different levels of enhanced sensitivity and 1 for reverting to default settings. Try installing one of the two enhanced versions. Reboot your phone after installing as the touch driver needs to be reloaded.

No, touch screens are not normally damaged like that, as much as i know about HTC touch screens, unless you pushed it really hard, to an extent that it can crack. :)

Screen Senstivity

@Sumit ..... Thanks again...I will follow your links after I get back home (I am at work now)... Will let you know how it workded...:)
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Hey friends, would you like to have the BlackMetal ROM removed and in place of it a ROM with all the programs like Windows Media Player etc having the default Opal Like Manilla 2D? Actually i didn't like the BlackMetal theme of Manilla 2D much so i made a ROM for myself with this same base but removing some bugs etc. SMS account not created on first boot bug has also been removed. I made it for me personally, but i think you guys may like it too. If you dont know how the default opal theme looked like, try looking at the HTC website for HTC Touch Viva and look at its screen.

Tell me very fast guys, i am about to complete this ROM.
[P3400 ROM Development] rakesh_4utoo:
Will appreciate if you'll upload for older gene.
[P3400 ROM Development] Blueangel180:
Isn't it the same as lomlom's Rom?:rolleyes:

And can you make this a fully loaded entertainment based rom?throw in a few games too?:p
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Ya ya, its the same theme, But Core OS version is new, same as Ankits. Most of the apps Media Player, Dialer, Calculator, Comm Manager etc have been given Manilla 2D look n Feel. Enlarged Start Menu and Large Titlebar Icons is also working along with USB2PC of Opal which allows the device to be connected in Mass Storage Mode is also working, without the need of WM5torage. This utility provides very fast Mass Storage Mode, i am getting speeds of around 2-3 MBps on my chepo storage card.

Apart bugs like SMS account being not created on first boot, Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stopping playback when device suspends etc, have been ironed out. And not to mention, Windows Live is working :D

Storage Mem is 40.5 MB and RAM is 21 MB. How does this look like, should i release it? I will release it for both new and old gene as the OEM part is bug free this time, mostly.

@BlueAngel: Sorry buddy, games take too much of space on ROM, so this ROM has only the default two games. You can always install the games on SD card so why waste space on ROM, which is so precious. But ya, its fully loaded for games with latest version of Java and a Hybrid D3D Engine from Jade and Omnia. :)
[P3400 ROM Development] Blueangel180:
Sounds good,upload it NOW :D

BTW, WM6.5?
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
^^ :D Will release it tomorrow, Old gene version is remaining to be ported. WM 6.5 is still under test. And its too heavy for Manila so don't start dreaming yet :D

[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
Sorry but would you please explain in proper words what problems are you facing, i cannot get whats wrong happening with you.

But here is what i can comprehend.

1. Battery Status is missing from title bar: Yes this is the default option in WIndows Mobile 6.1. This can be changed by using a number of utilities. One such utility is Avance Configuration Tool. Go to my VanillaManila ROM, that i posted today and there in Post #3 i have attached some recommended addons, which includes this tool. Start this tool and in the options tree, expand today screen and choose battery icon. Click Done and Reboot your phone. ANd for your info, you can view the battery status by clicking on the Clock in titlebar, in a popup.

Your second problem i cannot understand. Internet explorer is not launching from manilla 2d internet page or is it not starting at all? Page cannot be displayed is shown when internet connectivity is not present. Try configuring your network settings. ask the customer care of your mobile company to give you manual settings for GPRS or search, download and install HTC connection setup. Connection setup is included in my other ROM, the VanillaManilla ROM.

hey man i installed it but after restating my phone touch flow is gone only black screen appear...... help plz it's too god but very slow on my phone why?
[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Switch to Manilla Vanila Ultimate, its the fastest M2D ROM in the forum :). Black Metal is a bit slow compared to MV Ultimate. If you want to stick to it, try hard reset.

:)

If you want black theme, just goto dev/hack forum and download a M2D Theme as per your choice.

[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
Just try one thing, it might work, not sure though, as I never faced this problem:-

From Today-Items remove touch flow (untick), restart your device.

Now again tick on TouchFlow. See if it works :confused:

Also note:

1. Some themes which are resource hungry have problems with Gene, hope you are not using one of them?

2. If the screen is showing "Tap here to launch touch flow", tap it and every thing will be ok hence forth.

BTW you never mentioned if yours is a New or Old Gene :(
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:

[P3400 ROM Development] Addicted2xda:
re: PPC PIM backup

Basically the PPC gets busy reindexing the huge data you have given it. Remember that it is not Activesync. A soft reset after a min or so solves all slowdown issues. actually if you keep on waiting, M2D will ultimately load :D.

FYI the slowdown issue is not there on my Vox :confused:

Read the first post and then search this thread for answers
[P3400 ROM Development] saurabh88:
I can't find anything. where is my answer
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
In first post, i have clearly written that development of this ROM is stopped and i will no longer answer questions regarding it. After that, At least 5 times i have written that this ROM has an older version of Windows Mobile OS which doesn't support touch scrolling everywhere. VanillaManila has it because its got new OS. I dont think ou triedto search properly, but anyways.
[P3400 ROM Development] atreya2011:
Sorry for asking a stupid question, but is this ROM any different from the VanillaManilaUltimate Edition ? I can't seem to spot any noticable difference at all!
[P3400 ROM Development] krazy_about_technology:
I cooked this ROM in the way of experimenting for making a Manilla 2D ROM myself. This is more of an experimental stuff, thats why the development has been stopped on it. You would have known this, if you cared to read first post which i updated long ago.
