BBExtreme 5.0 and 5.1 REBORN, RHODIUM Version

5.0 and 5.1 is for rhodium manila only

You can find and download this nice looking theme MARBBExtreme 5.0 from Showaco here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=470011

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

New 5.1

Changes:

Home Tab: Removed call history and no appointments. Voicemail and valid appointments still show. Moved appointment list higher so you can see maximum of 4 now. Moved date and alarm above time, and moved carrier name to center. Clock press now takes you to a 6 tab screen(call history, all people, web search, world clock, alarm, and profiles) instead of the standard world clock view.

Album Tab: Enlarged pictures/videos preview size for easier viewing

Music Tab: Enlarged album view and changed perspective

Internet Tab: Removed the logo/Launch Browser for better viewing since new search bar cut into screen area. Added "launch browser" link that launches whatever your default browser is.

Programs Tab: Changed to 4 icon view and changed All Programs to 4 icon view

Added/New:

Background for all tabs

Removed Title on all tab pages after Home, but left it showing on the subpages.

theme backgrounds for preview when sliding tabs

new theme background for level1 menus

MORE TO COME, and there will likely be updates and fixes as the manila port advances

You can download MARBBExtreme 5.1 from here

What is the next step to change the Radio or to flash the ROM or maeby something else?

Radio 1.00.25.05

Rom 1.93.00.00 date 7/23/08

Protocol version 52.29.12h

Please someone hellp me?

There are devices coming out with Biometric (fingerprint security). Thought it was really cool when it came out for your desktop computers. Was hoping someone would have developed it here. After a decent search through the archives, target acquired unsuccessful.

Maybe I missed an app that speaks to this. Let me know if you see anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] kosherpig:
I doubt it is possible using touchscreen. The sensor can detect only one point. It is nowhere close to reading papillary lines.

Did you know that lots of these touch sensors are mini cameras infact?

And if you need a device with finger recognition, HTC made one and unluckily it uses a typical fingerprint reader. So it seems we won't be able to unlock our Diamonds with fingerprints.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] band27:
Well that explains why it has yet to arrive.....that's because it's not coming at all...lol

Ok, thanks for that!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Cythrelo:
In theory, a program could be made that would unlock the phone when it detects your face. Some programs exist like this for certain laptops that have webcams built into the top of the screen.

This would be pretty inconvenient unless your phone has a front-facing camera, though, and it would probably be slower on Windows Mobile than just entering a PIN.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] band27:
Yeah, well the goal here is convenience and added security. Punching in numbers is not too bad but there is always that sneak suspicion that someone is watching you. Face or Finger recognition would be cool is it tends to eliminate the lose of security unless someone looks like you. i.e. twins...:D
[Touch Pro CDMA] PureOne:
Hi,

I just flashed my phone with the Energy ROM and now the phone just shows the splash screen and keep restarting. It comes up to the splash screen and restarts.

Could someone help me out how to fix this?

I am using Sprint Touch Pro

Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] patrick1883:
I had this same problem with my Sprint Touch Pro...

After reading up a little on roms, I think the reason is that Energy ROM is for the GSM version of the Touch Pro, not the CDMA version.

If I'm wrong, please correct me... I'm kinda new at all this custom rom stuff.

You can start you phone in the bootloader and flash a different, CDMA friendly, rom pretty much the same way you flashed with Energy Rom.

To boot into the bootloader:

First pull the battery and reinstall...Then hold the VOL DOWN button and push the power button...You should then have a tri-colored screen...You can then load your new rom with the update utility.

Hope this helps:)
[Touch Pro CDMA] PureOne:
^^ Thanks a lo for the help, that worked. Thank you.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Zatoichi76:
Useful Info Thanks
[Touch Pro CDMA] NotATreoFan:
Good to see you didn't brick your phone. Going forward, please do not flash any ROMs that you find outside of the Raphael CDMA section. You must be especially careful with GSM/CDMA ROMs because a GSM radio will brick your device if you flash it to a CDMA phone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Farmer Ted:
Just an fyi to noobs of all flavors, don't start flashing images onto your phone until after you've done the requisite reading. Read, then flash. Don't flash, then read. You'll get burnt sooner or later.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Black C5:
I want to set up my new (att) HTC Fuse to run satellite based GPS with internal maps and WiFi Internet connections. I do not want to pay for the att GPS or data plans. I want to use the internet through WiFi at home or at hotspots without using att by mistake and receiving data charges accordingly. In addition, what is the best GPS software: Tom Tom, Garmin or some other? It is fine with me to load all the maps on the SD card and run independent of Google Maps. A large 'Points of Interest' database is also desirable.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] pkshr:
First of all, your questions have been answered numerous times and this is not the thread for these questions. In fact your subject does not match with the contents. However, below are my suggestions:

It's better to call ATT customer service to cancel your data plan so that you dont accidentally use the data plan. There are also cabs that

can be used to disable the data plan.

TomTom or Garmin . it's upto you. However, beware of the fact that there is very noticable lag in fuze-gps.

I myself do not use data plan and have been using FuzeGPS as far as I can.

Regarding the custom ROM - you can use any of the custom ROM as each has been catered to serve different taste.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryan_h:
I am in the exact same situation as you... the first thing I have to say to you is READ... Read & Do NOT post (and especially do not start a new thread for something like this)!

That being said, the NRG ROM Series by NRGZ28 (MAKE SURE YOU HARDSPL!) is what I personally use on my fuze, and Tom Tom 7 would be my recommended Nav software. That being said, with both of us being in the US, it might be a bit hard to get your hands on. Even more so with the proper maps. If you need help getting your hands on Tom Tom, let me know.... ALSO-- FIND, Download, & Install Modaco's NoData.... the stock ATT Rom WILL CONNECT to the internet even if you don't want it to. ATT's explanation is that "it is a primary data, secondary voice device." Don't end up like me with $50 in data charges at the end of the month just because of the stock ROM. You can also remove the password under connections and manually key it in when you are sending / recieving a MMS (the password is cingular).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mindfrost82:
What does the poll have to do with your questions?

For the data usage, I agree about downloading the NoData cab, it works great.

For the ROM, there's lots out there and all of them will work. Its best to look at what's included and figure out what has the stuff you'll use.

WiFi works fine in all of the ROMs.

GPS is where it could get a little tricky. Since you don't want to use data, then you'll have to disable aGPS (since March 1st, most ROMs have it enabled I think because of the AT&T fix). This will cause your cold fix time to take longer.

As far as GPS software, I like Garmin the best. Its just like a Nuvi unit and the maps are the most up-to-date for my area, especially compared to TomTom.

pkshr:

Thanks for your quick reply.

Obviously I am new to this forum (I registered last month), but I have spent MANY hours searching and reading many threads on this very interesting site. My questions have not yet been answered well enough to make a decision. I have read good things and bad things about almost every issue. Some guys say the stock ROM is horrible, some say it is great and every thing works wonderful after simply eliminating the att bloatware. Some say stay away from cooked ROMs and some say it is the only way to go. Obviously your research has answered these simple questions for you which others also may find helpful. If you can, please post some of the thread links that answer these questions in a more definitive fashion than my research has found. By the time I read four or five pages of most of the threads I found in my search there were so many contradictions and varied results that it became a little confusing, hence I was hoping for some simple answers that I hoped would be of interest to me and others with similar questions. I assumed there was more than Garmin and Tom Tom out there, but if not, I agree they are both probably good choices.

Thanks again for your comment – David.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Nvious:
Dude,

If you have an ATT Fuze, Why are you polling about the iphone, win-mo, and palm OS's? I'd Semi-understand the poll if you were undecided about which phone to go buy but you just picked up an ATT Fuze. The Fuze runs on WinMo and you're on a Forum that mostly works with phones that run Windows Mobile yet you're going to poll and ask about which smartphone OS is better?

If this poll has anything to do with a purchase of a phone, go to something like CNET.com or another electronic review site to find your answers.

I'm not trying to flame you but i'm struggling to understand how your poll and HOW that has anything to do with your question that you're posting?

Anyways, its a preference. I know it gets confusing to read all the pages about all the ROM's that are posted but i'm going to tell you, its all about what YOU want and it has nothing to do with anyone elses opinions. If i were you, i'd go flash every ROM and see which one works out for me. There are compromises but you really need to go through it yourself and see which one works out best for you. There is NO PERFECT ROM for this phone as the phone itself isn't perfect. As for your navigation needs, go find "iGo" for windows mobile. I'm not sure why people get business oriented phones if they don't want to spend money on a data package because the data capabilities and business oriented software is what makes these phones different than a regular cell phone. I still don't see a point in the poll but good luck.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Black C5:
I accidently hit the 'Poll' button and couldn't back out of it. I should have started over with a new post, but I made up the poll to fill the blanks instead. My vote is for WinMo. Thanks for asking - David.

best rom questions on forum

not welcome here sorry.....

please take time to read the rules before you post again

these questions always end in a fight ( flame war)

so for this reason

thread closed
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pking:
Im so sorry, im not the kind of person that makes treads and post them as urgent. But this is truly urgent.

I have .net 3.5 cf installed on my phone, i then installed xbmod policy.cab and restarted. Disabled tf3d, installed XBmod VGA Rhodium Manila.cab, rebooted and installed HTC New Contact Card.cab. Once again i reboted, installed Start menu fix.cab and the reboted again. Then i enabled tf3d.

But it all crashes everytime! Manilla.exe crashes and gives a report

'Microsoft.VisualBasic recources not found.

Please im going away and i really need the phone to be working.

I also have sdkcerts installed and i have pressed the reset button with the stylus a couple of times
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
I would just reflash the ROM or try another ROM altogether that already has Manila 2 already on board. There are 2 in existence. One I am currently using and it works great.

First of all some background please.

Do u have Hard SPL already installed?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pking:
No, I have the 2..03.413.2 SVE room, the original from HTC.

Im to afraid to try cooked rooms.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Arju:
then try again to install xboxmods rhodium manilla... well remember to go to settings>today and disable touchflo 3d before you install... then try installing it all again....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pking:
Thats the fun part. Ive done that two times now :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Many members went through this already. Learn from their mistakes ......PRESS HERE
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
If you have an original ROM then it may be that you don't have NET 3.5 Framework, yes?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Arju:
yeah that must be it... lol ... hope that's his answer.. i remember my stock rom didn't have that but all the custom i've used has it cooked in..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Just go "Cooked" and you will never go back...lol

We can set up a day where I will help u through if you wish...;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pking:
You know what. I will hard reset it.

Install xbmod policy.cab

Disable the plugin

Install XBmod VGA Rhodium Manila.cab

Soft reset

HTC New Contact Card.cab

Soft reset

enable tf3d today plugins

Is it all correct?

No i have .net 3.5 cf as i wrote in my first post.

Hey thanks man! but i have only had bad experience from cooked roms. And since my phone has gone in to service to get repaired 2 times i dont wat to risk getting a huge bill, you know they will make up that the rom was the one that destroyed the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
No matter how many times you do this, it won't work without Netframework 3.5.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pking:
I had installed this:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

Does me having a swedish rom affect anything?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Regardless of what language your ROM is, will not impact your devices ability to install manila 2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jonorb:
No, don´t softreset after installing VGA rhodium manila.cab - just hit continue or cancel (I don´t remember..) and proceed with the HTC new contact Card.cab. and then softreset.

This is from the installation instructions in post #3

Hope this helps..

No freaking difference. This has driven me mad. :(

Hi, I'm kind of new to the diamond scene and I've been having fun with programs like flip-it, but I much prefer touchpal to any other software input. However, when rotating to landscape touchpal is pretty garbage, and the default SIP is pretty useful in landscape... I was wondering if there is any program that can change the SIP based on screen rotation? I've found programs that can rotate the screen based on what program is running, or change SIP based on running program, but none that can change SIP based on screen rotation- is there anything that can do this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] moperi:
PQzII is capable to have different SIPs against the orientations.

You could also spread the word in #android (and #android-dev) on freenode, that might speed things up a bit :)

[G1 Android Development] mr_black03:
which server should i go to? US or Europe?
[G1 Android Development] Xionicorg:
I would also be willing to give up some webspace for the cause. i run my own website http://www.xionic.org, let me know if its needed. 2gb of space is available as I host only a few kb on there at the moment

i have an FTP that could be used for devs. i would love to upload the firmwares here and host them, but im not sure on how happy Verizon (fios) would be with heavy traffic. If i can help, let me know. (currently i have over a A LOT of space avail.)
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Yeah, I made a similar offer a few months ago (free section in my forum with full mod permissions and some ftp space) but not a lot of ppl seem to need/want it. I guess its more work for them when they can just post here. Jesusfreke took advantage of it but he rarely uses the forum, mostly the ftp (which is all good, anything I can do to help the cause).
[G1 Android Development] AndroidSamurai:
I would be willing to take one of you up on the generous offers, but I need a 95% uptime guarantee.... :D

Not trying to rip you off or milk you till you bleed, but I am in the progress of writing an app(after I finish and test out the scripts) and will need a little ftp storage....

I was a happy camper until haykuro borked my G1 tonight... lmao - I cried I was laughing so hard...

Apparently he Broke a Pipe in my init.rc....

[G1 Android Development] brandenk:
Im interested! I just sent you an email. Like others have said you are probably the third person I am taking up on this offer, I hope it sticks and I can find some valuable use for it. For the most part I post threads here, pics on photobucket.com and files at 4shared.com so an FTP wont be a huge time saver but I would like to consolidate all of my work into 1 spot and maybe create a blog too.
[G1 Android Development] mr_black03:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zerocool159:
I dunno if this is a ROM isolated thing, (I'm running NYG Pro) but I find that if I leave a video running in the background after selecting it under the "Photos and Videos" tab, regardless of the video duration, it'll give me a boost with anything 2D until I close Album. Manilla 2D and TaskFacade run a lot sexier now.:D The only thing that seems to kill it is Audio Manager. lol As soon as I run it, it goes back to normal and the only way to get that extra framerate is to restart Album with the same or another video and leave it running again.

Sorry if this had been posted before, but is there anyway we might be able to incorporate the, what seems to be, "2D driver" in startup like what taskfacade has to do? Just like a crippled version of Album for the speed?:) I don't know exactly what's giving it the boost here, but this seems pretty important if it's not isolated to the ROM I'm running.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Gobywan:
I just tried this with my Kaiser and it works consistently on a Hyperdragon 3 ROM from November, so it seems to be fairly universal. I don't know how or why this works, but I'd sure like to see someone figure it out and find a way to have it work all the time.

Edit: I assume this has something to do with the video drivers that may or may not actually exist, and with the built-in video playback somehow turning on 2D acceleration, but I'm no programmer so I can't really go into detail. The more I play with this, though, the more excited I am to have smooth response in Manila and iContact and things of that sort, and the more I hope someone can find a way to build this into a ROM or make it a standalone program.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] undac:
confirmed here too, now this is wierd :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
It's not so weird :D

During early days on UIQ, we also found the phone UI works a lot faster when there's a background Video running / being played .. seems to be the same factor.
