I was just curious to know if you removed the Titanium today plugin or was it not there with this rom?

Also do you or anyone here have a copy of the Titanium plugin? I can't find it in cab form.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Titanium isn't compatible with Windows Mobile 6.1, yet. They haven't ported it over. I've tried and failed.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] neiltoe:
Thanx for the reply
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
On that note, have you been able to detect anything that causes my selected SIP, PCM Keyboard, to periodically revert to your keyboard. I for the life of me cannot operate your default keyboard, which in itself is frustrating since it is default, but I use both the SIP tool within QuickMenu to select PCM, and I also run SIPchange, which I believe loads on startup each time and makes that selection to PCM Keyboard.

help please, on your next release. :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] prscott1:
I have no problem with this. The ROM is great. I like that you are releasing a very stable and fast rom. Perhaps all the things that Quick is requesting would be for just the custom ROM you offered him for his generous donation? :)

I think your loyal users prefer the Ivan steamlined ROMs.

Thanks!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] prscott1:
quick, you can use taskmgr.exe or memmaid.exe or sktools or any other application that gives you access to the notification queue database. In the notification queue, you will find three repllog.exe items. Delete the one that says "RunAppWhenTimeChanges" (or something to that effect). This will fix your problem.

HTH.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
excellent -- now if you just tell me where is the notification queue database located? is it in windows directory? in the registry? i'm not tech savvy enough. But I do have sk tools.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I'm starting to have headaches with the SIP because of this and because of the alt-space issue. lol Does anyone actually like the SIP I added? I may just change it back to the default SIP.

As I pointed out earlier, the only fix that I know off, is done by editing the registry.

As far as the speed issues go, did this happen with the LZX version or the regular version? Try 14v6. I've made a few changes to that build.

As far as Rhodium Menu's go, I can't seem to find a gwes.exe that works with it. The only two reported working gwes.exe's that I can find both cause the phone to stop booting. The strange thing is that I already swapped the gwes.exe to make the notification enhancement work, which came in the same phone as the menu enhancements themselves.

14v6 has the colors fixed.

Quick, that installation menu you saw is normal, it's just that it's becoming the "old" way of doing things. Although, it sounds like it isn't working normally...

Since this is going to be a stable and usable release, I'm quite open to suggestions.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] elazullizard:
oh noes!! I just finished customizing the 14v4. Now I have a need to flash the new version already... I used to use the diamond keyboard, but that was quickly superseded by the faster (and native QVGA) Opal ezinput, and then by either TouchPal or Finger touch keyboard. Other than that, I love how stable this rom is and how much extra storage space I have. I bet I could even install Fennec on this without much trouble! (not that I would, since it completely destroys my system, leading to hard reset... too bad about the Rhodium menus, though. Could you include the Opal large menus for the next release, though? I had become so used to them in Gullum's latest rom that I forgot that menus were originally awful to navigate. sorry for the wall of text...

OR, Ivan, if you want to match but "upgrade" the look you currently have, why not consider one of these 2 -- which could help launch this release, vs your having to go back to the drawing board for theming.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Finally I am posting some screenshots

I've been mostly working to make Ivan's ROM as finger-friendly as possible for my usage patterns, thus worked on larger type size for menus and popups. I only recently tried "RC Mod" yesterday to change highlight color. It's still not contrasty enough for me, but an improvement.

I will have to flash to version 14 so I can see what's new, but wanted to capture here what I have been focused on so far. My baseline rules for success are: (1) Can I use it in the car to maker a phonecall or navigate Google Maps SAFELY... Tiny type = nowhere near safe. (2) Walking in daylight -- am I able to see the interface elements clearly even when sun is bright -- or do elements wash together when light is bright.

Ivan,

I just flashed your newest ROM for the Herald.

And first of all the flash went OK and the Phone reboots without any problems.

The first I noticed it the size of the Windows Mobile hourglass. It is at lease 3 times its normal seize. Also Some icons in within QuickMenu are a little bit bigger then what can be displayed. Some icons are a bit weird, such as:

- Icons within QuickMenu under settings.

- Icons of the account selector when open the messaging app.

That are the first things i noticed... Will post more if I encounter more of them...

Thanks.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] prscott1:
LOL, take two aspirin!

Personally, I prefer the default SIP - but making the reg change is easy for me if you decide to keep the other - I've added it to my xml customization.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I know where all these issues came from. I'll be fixing them by the next release, unfortunately, the next release might not be until thursday. Today and tomorrow will be busy days. Today, I have to study for a test, (and by study, I mean read 7 chapters for the first time and get ready for a test tomorrow) and tomorrow, aside from the test, it will be a very busy day at work.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] lennyjaxn:
Take your time, dude! Life comes first! I appreciate all the work you're doing, and as soon as I'm not poor I will donate to a great cause, which is you.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
i love the colored icons if you could do that with the final build i would love that, would make it perfect, im using 14v6 for wing on my second day now and am digging it, seems like the battery life doesnt stretch as far... maybe just me

thanks again ivan your hard work is much appreciated :)

I prefer having the simple look as it just looks cleaner to me.

I thought about making the bars rounder (like the wm6 look instead of the flat bars) but I haven't decided upon it. But I'm not sure about the colorful icons.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] prscott1:
Good luck on your test Ivan.

I'm Infrastructure Director of Admin Systems at Rice University - so I understand the importance of getting the certifications!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Just an update:

The build I'm working on today (instead of studying... lol) have the following fixed:

The VGA looking icons in many places.

The SIP issue. It's back to the normal SIP only. Alt space works again.

A few things here and there, little things that I don't seem to ever keep track off. lol

Anyhoo, enough tinkering, study time. :p

Installer & Configuration Tool (for after flashing to new ROM)

Well i discovered several such utilities exist, the one most promising (from my reading) that Ivan might consider looking into is SASHIMI .

All about it here. (from the developer himself)

And here.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Chongie:
He Ivan,

Apart from the seize of the icons everything works perfectly...

Every app I installed functions as it should..

Also both bleutooh, WiFi are working.

Memory leak is down to a minimum and battery life is great.

My phone is like brand new again.

How needs a Touch Pro or a Pro2 :P....

P.S. Something I noticed just now. When my bluetooth is activated I do not see the related icon in the notification bar....

Thanks.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] lennyjaxn:
I've been running 14v6 all day, and I've noticed it's a bit more sluggish than the previous Wing release (14v3 maybe?), which is kind of weird because 14v3 was LZX and this one isn't. I've been running plugged in most of the time so I can't comment on battery life, except to say that it seems to take longer to charge. Oh well. Not a big deal.

Other than that, I like ArcSoft 4.2, I don't care which SIP you use, and I can ignore the enlarged icons (the gigantic envelopes in SMS are chuckle-worthy for sure!). I'm content with it. I'm still blown away by the speed of the screen when switching to landscape....

Great work!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] livndeadgrl13:
iv installed all my cabs and still running great for me, although i had to flash it about 3-4 times b4 i got it running right, i dont know why the first couple times i flashed this rom i felt it running sluggish and my battery seemed to drain fast so i would flash to something else then try again, i really love everything about this rom, will keep it for a long while i think, unless one comes out with colored icons, im a chick i like color lol :), thanks again
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
My ROM is UC Compatible which means you can create an XML with all your settings and place all your cabs and it automatically installs them during the ROM's setup.

The size issues has been fixed in the next build (it's unreleased as I don't have my laptop with me today. The bluetooth icon might be hiding under wktask. That's the only draw back to using it that I can think of.

That might be because of the vga files I used. They have been replaced in the newest build. (Unreleased.) Hopefully that makes the sluggishness go away. The unrelease also has arcsoft 4.2, the normal SIP's and the icons are normal size again. lol

lol. It's ok. Besides, changing the icons to colorful icons isn't hard at all after you install the ROM. My wife feels the same way about the icons and colors. :p
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
Cincinnati Bell sim issues

Not sure if this narrows anything down, but after playing with the newest build, I found out it plays nice if I simply turn the phone part off in the connection manager before powercycling or resetting. Also, with the phone on, I got a "carrier not in database" error which I assume is the auto connection setup-not a big deal as I can enter all that manually (however the cab I found for Cincinnati Bell doesn't work anymore...).

Another bit of info, on the OTP roms, it seems to get broke when the build changed from 20748.1.4.0 to 20755. Checked both lite builds as they were quite similar except for the builds, and the later build gives me the same rebooting issues, FWIW.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] Chongie:
Hi there,

I am not using WKTask.. I removed the shortcut form the windows startup folder.

So I can definately say that the Bluetooth icon is not hiding. It is just not there.

Screenshot:

CHongie
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I changed those icons so it may be fixed in the next build.

The issue is related to the VGA icons.

So it's something in MS's code? o_O

I'll have to look through it. I'm just not sure where to start.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
I'm in the same boat! I think I am going to go through and rename, replace, and reset services and dll's that look like they may play a part in the sim issue, using versions from JustMe's sys, kind of building a hybrid sys as I go along. I wish I could find a list of what all those dll's and such do, but info seems varied and scattered online...

The only other difference I could see with the OTP roms was the latter also had phone canvas, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
When I get home, I'll build a ROM without the phone canvas dialer, just in case it's that. What version do you need, herald or wing?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
I have a wing. I kind of hope that is not the problem, as I really like the "roll-up" feature of Phone Canvas to keep from running unwanted items with my face :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Is there an FAQ page or resource you can direct me to? This is what I have been looking for for ages. thank you :)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
A really quick search of the forum showed this:

[App] ROM Flashing Junkies: User Customization is here!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] quicksite:
Hey thanks, Marty... I read first 2 posts and my eyes glazed. I think i'll prob be sticking to manual installing, which is a drag. The reason I posted about Sashimi is that when people compare them Sashimi seems to always win.

Stuff like UC would never fly in a new WindowsMobile App store... but then again, customers of app stores would never even dream of flashing a rom, so the two thoughts cancel out.

Some good news. I hard reset the prior version and all problems resolved, as expected. I installed m2d and it works beautifully & fast. I also installed the brand new iFonz 2, finally released yesterday -- and very slick app, way improved. I feel pretty certain I will favor iFonz and them dump TouchFlo (m2d).

Oh yes, and FingerSuite works surprisingly fast. It's the reworking of FingerMenu -- and does what Rhodium Menus do... That really solves a huge portion of usability problems.

The only thing I hope for now is the ability to increase the point size of the text in QuickMenu. Then I am done and ready to roll. I installed PocketPlayer and it works great so far. But I have not even installed Ivan's most recent, so I expect things will be evn better.

nice job all around, ivan.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Uploaded two new builds. One for the normal people and one for the "sim" people. I've got a list of fixes that I'm going to implement today so there will probably be yet another build later today. lol

14v7-wing

14v7-sim-wing

No Herald for this small build as I don't have the time to build it at the moment. I got to get ready for work.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
Just flashed 14v7-sim-wing. Still have the reboot cycling upon any type of reset. Also seems to be missing the skin for the dialer, only thing that shows up is the contact list and the number dialed if you can guess correctly where the digits would be in the field of white. Is this a new feature to try and cut down on those awkward calls afters the bars close? LOL Not i big deal at all considering it is only a test build for the sim issues.

I do like the notification icons.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I was trying to kill the canvas dialer to see if that was related. lol

I guess it's not.

If we could find what particular dll or exe was causing the problem, this would be an easy fix.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
Going to try find it, not sure if I'll get to it this weekend or not. I am going to try and replace anything with sim, gsm, phone, radio, etc in the name with older versions one by one to see what happens. Kind of trial and error...

Do you know if HTC Rom Editor will easily let me replace versions of the same exe or dll without going through the whole building process or going through the rename, replace, reboot with Rescoe Explorer? I plan on trying it later tonight but was wondering if you had any experience with it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
You'll probably run into problems with the memory addressing if done that way. I'm not sure.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
The only way to make this easier is either for you to get my kitchen files or for me to get a SIM from your provider. My kitchen files are being contantly changed. If you know how to cook and promise not to release those files or a ROM based on them, yet, then I won't mind sharing. Once you figure out the issue, we can port it into the main ROM.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] marty123:
Thanks for the generous offer! I'm not much of a cook (yet!), but having the files should help me track this down. I would never share or release anything without your permission. Like I said earlier, I'm not sure how much time I'll have to work on it this weekend with the entertaining we have going on, but I'll have some time next week. Feel free to PM me if you want.

HELP PLEASE to use "User Customization" to make app installation easy after flashing.

This is to anyone reading this thread who may have advice: I have read posts on this "UC" (User Customization) tool that helps you reinstall all your apps and configuration settings after you flash -- saving hours of replication of reinstallation tasks. But I just don't understand what to do.

Could someone please help me (other than Ivan, who already does way more than his share) and give me a numbered sequence of things to do to use this tool?

Here's the link to the author's thread re "User Customization"

And a related tool, from Dave Shaw: xcopyce v0-04

And another: RGU-2-XML

What I am looking for is someone to map the sequence out for me.

1. Install xxxx on your storage card.

2. Browse to find xxxxxx and copy it to xxxxxx. etc etc

I have about 20 cab files I install, and various configuration and theme settings for about 10-15 of them. Some apps install only on the device (like all the S2 apps from A_C, as well as PCM Keyboard). Others I install onto the storage card. Between flashings, I do not know what to do to copy & preserve settings for apps which will need to be reinstalled... It seems that some apps, when they reinstall to the same location on storage card, maintain their setting files that were already there. Others overwrite those files when they reinstall inot the same path locations.

I've been asking a version of this same question for about 6 months on XDA, and so I would really be grateful if someone could list the sequence so I can flash and re-set, flash and re-set, without replicating the laborious same tasks each time.

Thanks very much. If need be, I would be happy to donate money to someonewho will do this for me. Thank you
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] bduncan:
So I installed the 14v7-sim-wing rom for my first venture into hardspl'd custom roms... The "alpha" in the title of this thread

really

should have kept me from choosing this as my first cooked rom, but everything I've read points to juststable as the top-notch rom these days. Anyways, so I've noticed the whole "no dialer canvas" thing (I know... alpha). I tried adding phonecanvas via a cab, and now cprog.exe is at 100% cpu at all times.. Rom was great till I decided I wanted a dialer though, didn't have any of the reset/sluggish/battery issues others are reporting (obviously at 100% cpu the phone is "slugish" now till I reflash).

Just wanted to thank you for this rom -Once all the bugs are worked out it will certainly be my rom of choice.

One more thing -Ivan, you are one of the most patient people I have ever seen in a forum -I have been reading up on xda-dev for around 4 months, and I can't believe you remain so patient after some of the crap I see people posting in your treads
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Don't use the sim version. Use the regular version, not the sim version. That one lacks a dialer. ^_^
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] bduncan:
I'll have to try the other one -I found that if I disable the radio and soft reset then cprog isn't spiked at 100%. Once I reset, I can re-enable the radio without cprog spiking back up.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] bduncan:
Ivan -Is this rom going to be released as a kitchen once you get all the bugs worked out? I am really loving the rom, but want to cook in my own apps.

I'm really glad I tried this rom for my first custom -none of the wierd bugs I see other people complaining about in other roms (except commanager doesn't seem to work for some reason)
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I posted a long post about whether or not to release it as a kitchen. It's just so many things to worry about if I do. Mostly, people tend to complain a lot when their ROM's won't do a certain things. I haven't decided, yet. There are many fixes in this ROM that are tightly integrated with what's in it. Adding certain apps to the kitchen would break some of them and require a lot of work to make them all work again.

As far as the comm manager not working, what do you mean? It's working on my phone. What's not working on it?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
Right now I'm building a new build. It has a LOT of theme fixes. They're done by me, so please be kind. :p

I fixed a lot of the splash screen stuff, fixed the dialer to more my taste, but I'm not finished with it. I just fixed a lot of little things here and there. Please let me know if you guys find any bugs. I'll be uploading the Wing version first in a few minutes after I flash it and test it.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] bduncan:
What about releasing a "stripped to the core" version without audio manager, opera, quickmenu, or wktask?

As for the comm manager issue -I can open comm manager, and I have all the text for phone, bluetooth, wi-fi, etc, but no buttons of any kind. In the upper-left corner I have an icon that is half-visible (cuts off on the edge of the screen) -If I push up/down, I can see that it cycles through the various connection icons, but can't tell which one I'm on because most of the icon is off-screen... it's strange
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] bduncan:
I also really miss the 03.21.90 radio -I got WAY better reception than with 03.07.90
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
I didn't include a radio. It should have changed unless you flashed it yourself or you flashed another ROM (not mine.)

Yes, there will be a clean version but only once the full version is final. As far as the comm manager, can you take screen shots of what you mean?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] RedStar00:
hmm still having the issue, i reverted back to the t-mobile rom and the mms works along with everything else, i guess my phone doesn't like any of your roms, sucks i like your roms alot better than the rest.
