M2D Alarm missing?

Guys,

I just noticed today that the alarm on M2D Home info is missing. I guess I have messed it up somewhat.

Tried using M2DC to disable and enable again, it won't work. Everytime I go back to M2DC, it shows enable, but nothing on Home screen. I tried restoring default theme (I made a backup from the previous fresh hard reset) it still won't show.

Can anyone point me how I can fix this without a hard reset? My issue of hard reset is that I can't restore my email back properly.

What I do:I use Sprite backup to restore everything (registry, programs, setting, most importantly email) so I need to know if there's anything I can un-select on it so that only the Manila not being restored ..

Unfortunately, PPC Pim Backup won't restore email very well. Once restored, the mailbox will got corrupted, so I have to resort to Sprite. And it only works with total backup/restore (system, registry, etc. had to be included). Otherwise, I don't mind rebuilding my apps, setting, etc. but I really need to restore my email.

Edit

Add Info: I checked my Home XML file, it shows:

<!-- <Property name="IDHMWG_ALARMSTATUS_RECT" id="90" value="29,127,213,148" /--> as discussed here. However, on M2DC, it shows as active (the Home XML tab setting). There's a conflict here (XML value is hidden/inactive, but M2DC shows active). I tried changing it by removing the remark sign, but then it won't launch.

Edit2

I edited using Xplore which normally works fine for other apps. However, I tested again using MobilePad. It works! That means only one thing: there's encoding issue with text editor on Xplore. Sorry for troubling anyone.

I knew about this earlier, but since I would disable the Alarm Status anyways its automatic disappearance did not bother me.

So, were you able to restore it on the screen? and, can you post the steps one by one for someone that needs to see the alarm status present?

Thanks for working on this issue... Maybe b16b had another agenda when he hid it.

Problem Description:

Alarm missing from Home Screen, although M2DC shows ok (ticked) on the Home XML Tab.

Untick and re-tick won’t have any effect.

Fact found:

The HTCHomeSettings.xml has this entry:

<!-- <Property name="IDHMWG_ALARMSTATUS_RECT" id="90" value="29,127,213,148" /-->

This means the Alarm display is disabled (further explanation here). However, on M2DC it still shows enabled.

Hypothesis:

M2DC failed to adjust the status because it doesn’t match.

Action:

Since M2DC shows enabled (and I wanted it enabled anyway), Remove the remark from the XML entry

The entry now becomes:

<Property name="IDHMWG_ALARMSTATUS_RECT" id="90" value="29,127,213,148" />

(see the small differences at beginning and end? It makes the entry as valid entry and will be read by Manila)

During the changes and editing, I ensure M2D is off (Go to Setting, Today and disable TouchFlo from Today Items). Also, using Xplore as text editor won't work. Mobilepad did that better.

After implement setting, just to make sure, I did a soft reset and then turn on M2D (TouchFlo enabled again on Today Items). If you want to try anything, please always backup your original XML file. Screwing up, means you have no way back but hard reset.

The alarm appears correctly.

Are you saying the original also don't have it? Luckily I didn't hard reset ;)

b16b, when a new Rom WWE?? :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
The safest way to correct XML files is to copy from device the xml file you intend to alter, and paste it inside a folder on your PC, then open that file you saved on your PC with Note Pad, do the change you need to do, save it, then copy and paste onto the device Windows directory. "Basic Skills". I would not try to alter or change any xml value directly on the device for many reasons amongst which is the "space" can not visually be for certain determined, and letters are very small which alone would cause you to make a mistake.

Also, you would not need to install any reg edit software on your device! most of the time you would edit your device OS while next to a PC, hopefully not while driving :) . Your PC NotePad is your xml friend.

Chris, i read this Alarm Notification display enabling edit a while back, thanks for posting it and alerting others to the dangers in editing or experimenting if they are not too sure of what to do or how to do it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
When guys were creating and playing with themes, the M2D landscape of the home screen was getting messy and was cluttered with many things that caused no or limited space for the alarm notification. Thats when the alarm xml string was commented out to disable it. I do not believe b16b had intentionally done that, but i think he copied the xml of a ROM he uses in its entirety applying all prompts with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Ah,

That clarifies ;)

I try to be 100% on my mobile, cause I don't carry my Laptop all around with me. At work, I don't have access to the Admin needed for ActiveSync install and we're not supposed to. So my only recourse is the phone itself.

I have copied all my Kaiser's bundled software in CAB and have it on my mem card. Therefore, I also do the XML edit on the phone (if it's simple like above example). This has been always how I do during UIQ3 theme creation time ;)

Making 2 backups, edit one and overwrite (while the apps is being disabled), restart apps or restart phone. If it screwed up, replace the original and restart apps or restart phone ..

Ultimately, editing and messing the phone / registry setting, xml, etc. is dangerous. You might end up with a non functional phone while on the road. This is warning to everyone (including myself). Making backup is good idea, but what if the phone won't even boot properly?

To each his / her own.

Radios that you should avoid using with Jan 22nd ME ROM:

a. 1.59.44.02 >>\

b. 1.71.09.01 >>>|>All will freeze device while in music widget. SR needed.

c. 1.65.20.29 >>/

I am using now 1.65.24.36 and it performs well. I have used 1.70.19.09 and it does OK as well.

Please tell us your experience with radios you have used and with what ROM.

I hope not, I would like to see a new build.

b16b is concentrating for the time being on creating a Russian ROM. He ventured into wm6.5 earlier but as most of us here assessed, wn6.5 is still too buggy and unreliable. As soon as MS releases it officially, most ROM coders will have a go at it more seriously.

The ultimate ROM test is when you use your device as a wireless router hub and operate your PC or Laptop to access the Internet, and the phone temperature does not rise to a dangerous level. I have tested many ROMs and still b16b Jan 22 ROM is the best.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] motocrossmann:
Both the Jan 22 release and Mar 2 release are doing it. I am using the supplied Opera cab from the first page. Such an annoyance on an otherwise perfect ROM.

You can fix it under the screen settings in the control panel too, but that is like when somebody switches your mouse buttons. Easy to fix, but a pain.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
Jan 22nd ME ROM is still the fastest and most stable in comparison with all recent cooked ROMs as of Today April 7th. I just put the three most recent 'other" ROMs to the test in three different Tilts and voila... Jan 22 nd has come a step or two further.

I must say though the new programs' icons and the latest versions of those included programs are all great enhancements. Great eye-candy.

I think b16b should cook one final Kaiser ROM based on WM6.1, ported in the same fashion as the January 22nd, but correct the very minor issues, and update the included software to its pool.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my in call sound and my camera(just kidding). I actually read the entirety of this and the other thread and got to read that complaint from nonreaders with the wrong radio about 6 times. Incidentally, I changed to the 1.65.24.36 radio that was recommended and there are substantial improvement especially with GPS.

Anyway, noob here. Flashed the 1/22/09 ME without issues and it really is way faster than anything I've flashed. I kept reading how fast it is and was a little skeptical but the speed is impressive. This will keep me from upgrading my phone for a good while. Thanks b16b. Donation sent. Μπραβο ρε μεγαλε. Γρηγορο το εργαλειο.

Stable it is

I haven't really got into many ROMs but Jan 22 is the most stable. It's fast but most importantly stable with good battery.

Minor issue: Opera going the wrong orientation and SIM PIN input not staying long enough for input after booting.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
Chris... I am not having your issues... Opera is functioning as it should.

I do have. Not always, but sometimes it becomes inverted if you view it from landscape (so it's the other side's landscape ;) ). Not a big deal to me, as I rarely use Opera, and if it happens, sliding keyboard back/forth will fix it.

The SIM manager doesn't work on my kaiser, I can view my contacts, ring them etc but I can't edit/delete/add a contact. Always get "unexpected error" after a few minutes of the loading spiral.

Hi, just tried your ROM last week,everything is great. But i have a little problem maybe you can give me some input, i usually use my kaiser for listening music via earphone, browsing for couple of minute let say 10 minute-15 minute per day with wifi , just that. The rest of day just in standby mode Before i can use my kaiser for 2 day, but after i install your ROM, maximum i only can use my Kaiser for 1 day, before i need to recharge again. Do you have any idea why ?

And well thank you so much for the ROM

It's probably your radio. but like asfoor said, you should provide as much info as you can when asking these kinds of questions. and it would help if you read the stickys at the beginning of the ROM forum too. and the wiki about flashing ROMs.

Hi,

I am having a minor issue. Sometimes when I press the power button to turn my phone on from sleeping, it will flicker on then go off. Then I have to press the power button again. I have only had this issue in the stock rom...any ideas? reflash?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mcp2:
I have that problem, I think it's because we don't push the button in far enough.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] himalayasplaya:
mcp2 im not entirely convinced thats the problem.

when i had my first att tilt(wm6.0) i didnt have that issue. then i flashed to the wm 6.1 stock rom and then i intermittantly had this isssue.

then about a month ago i got a replacement tilt. the stock rom did not have this issue at all. when i flashed to athine os i had this issue again. im wondering whether this could be the result of a bad flash?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
I have changed the M2D theme to the following and I am loving it. It looks very professional and I have had no freezes since the flash of the ROM.

Opera vs Landscape

Asfoor,

I notice the Opera going the wrong Landscape is usually after closing the Opera, not during the running it. Sometimes it'll just turn the next screen the wrong way after I quit Opera.

i flashed your new version and still missing the favourites ? is there any way to reinstall it manually ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
I was going to post the same as what you suggested to Chris.

Look... there is few glitches in every ROM out there, and the customization is imminent on every ROM we flash. I am sure there are few that keep the cooked ROM as is without even adding any programs to it fearing bricking their phone. Like Chris and Stylez, I immediately change the ROM I flash and customize it the way I see best for me. It all comes down to the two "S"s at the end; Speed and Stability. After that all ROMs will look the same.

I am also testing a ROM that I cooked earlier... It is almost identical to b16b's ROM of Jan 22nd, however with updated programs' versions, ROM Build, keyboard, etc... and I have removed or corrected the minor registry glitches b16b ROM has. I am also using the custom M2D theme I posted earlier three screen shots of. When I am ready to post I will let you guys know.

The thing that is delaying me is the programs I cooked in are all licensed to me; I need to strip it down to OEM so others can use it as well.

I am not promising anything thus far, but hope to get it done soon.

Actually, no. My understanding is that the flicker-to-wake-up making you have to press the button twice is a 6.1 issue that's not related to a specific rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] asfoor:
1. The SMS glitch... Read/Unread issue and the order.

2. SMS Reply space increase.

3. Device Freezing fix after SMS Read.

4. AEButton is in the Windows Directory, after mapping the side OK Button to Volume Increase and long press for Speaker Phone On/Off, so it does not infringe on intellectual property rights, even though the version I have is licensed.

5. Alarm On/Off Orientation relocation, so it does not overlap "Call History" in Today Screen. You had it commented out for landscape orientation problem.

6. Change the Opera Mobile to a version that landscaping would not mess it up.

7. Unchecked "Google Location" tab and moved the Launcher to the 3rd position of the tabs.

8. Remapped Soft Keys to Action? ( HTC Action Screen ) on left and Contacts on Right.

9. Remapped Toggle BT On/Off to key 3 on long press, short press to "Quit".

10. Remapped Front OK button to OK/Close on short press and Vibrate on/off on long press.

11. Updated Programs and Icons ( latest versions ), Accessories, Connections plug-ins to the most current versions.

Thats basically what i have done and I have the most robust ROM thus far. Might not be the fastest, but it could be a close second. I used what you used for core and build and am happy so far. i am having one glitch that I can live with and that is, in the music tab, if I prompted the shuffle then tried to skip to few songs too fast, the device would freeze. I will test further and if i find the solution I will share with you as you also have the same issue in your ROMs.

And for your question about landscaping Mode! No I am still struggling like everyone else, using whatever is out now. mbarvian solution suffices for the time being.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
I was about to say that perhaps Bob's original M2D didn't have this because it sort of overlapping with the Call History. However, once I installed TWolf's Clean Clock, it works perfectly ;)

Asfoor, Stylez,

thanks for tips on Opera. Will check it out.

Edit to add

So far so good. The Opera as referenced works .. Thanks guys!

Asfoor,

Since you're becoming a chef, do you have any idea on two issues I'm having:

* SIM PIN lock input not stay put once phone booted. Only MBarvian's Solace 1.5 and Leo's TF3D V4 among those I tested have this.

* Email backup/restore using PPCPimBackup causing corrupted mailboxes once new ROM installed, email account created and email restored

I have the same problem as well after I moved from 6.0 to AthineOS (Jan 22). I tried different backlight timeout/deviceoff timeout settings but that didn't help. Right now I just quickly hit the power button and that SEEMS to help, although I can't really confirm it. The problem occurs quite randomly.

Also I have flashed the same AthineOS-Jan22 ROM for a few times and the problem persists.

Just wanted to report my experiences with this ROM and my set up...

Hard SPL: 3.34 DaveShaw (it is better than 3.29's in my experience)

Radio: 1.71.09.01eMo

Fully unlocked

I love the speed and stability of this ROM. The ME is very lite for a manila, which is nice since it allows me to customize my setup more than any other ROM. It is also the fastest I have tested, and one of the most stable.

I love the 1.71 radio, works great in my area, and works very well with this ROM. Great camera quality, WiFi, and so forth. Of course, region dependent for signal quality, but the best I have found so far (Iowa) and great battery life.

I have tested too many ROMs to even remember... good thing I made a list with my impressions... and this is by far my favorite! Great work!

Only issue I have ever had with this ROM is that it seems prone to a bad flash? I have switched back to it for the 4th time now, and every time I have had to flash it twice... maybe my SD card? Maybe I should download it again? But once she is working right, I can't get enough!
