Thanks for your great work and effort.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] gunmetal83:
well i have a suggestion

tough it might sound silly but id shoot it anyways

i tried an old shipped rom with the following radio 1.58.21.24

now the 4shared site wasnt letting me download the 2G version so i had to use the old rom

and now that i have even downloaded the rom from rapidshare, thanks to heinrich; i havent flashed it yet, cz m eyeing the battery

now the thing is that i can swear that this old radio is giving me around 3 times more battery life as compared to a 1.65 or 1.71 radio

so is there anyway possible to get this rom working with the old radio?

can somebody please shed some light on the technical side of that?

and why is the new radio hard on the battery?

regards

21859 font

I installed 21859 because i don't like new buttons in 23053. Why there is non standard font in 21859? I think it's too narrow and too high.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 2alive:
Me too. But apart that it's great.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] pirlone:
that is my major objection too.

other than that, it's great ROM.

rgs,

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Can someone post a screencap of the non-std font that you refer to please?

Thanks

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Thanks - think I can change that - will try and let you know :)

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
I like this font and I really like a font in messages and emails :)

I'm using clear-type, then it looks nice.

Have you read my earlier posts DT?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] pirlone:
you are right! with cleartype option turned on this font really looks nicer. a little bit small, though...

rgs,

pirlone
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] squire23:
+1 here as well. Love the new font though - makes it much easier to read everything. The old serif font was very off-putting imho.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mzg333:
I used the new build for 4 days i like the new interface but:

1- battery drain faster than your old roms

2- eat more rams 56% after soft reset --- 78% when use any application

3- I am really missing bubble breacker and dominos in this rom can u post a cab for it?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 2alive:
Am I the only one whit problems to access task manager on the top bar?

Only way is with the stylus
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
I don't have any problems with it using my thumb
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 2alive:
Thanks for the reply.

I'm talking about 23053, are you using that one?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
yeah (2g version), but now I'm gonna try 21859 because tonight I had a problem with my bluetooth headset (motorola HF820). What happened was while I was in a phone call, I received a text message and I lost audio. The headset had a constant buzzing and even after hanging up and calling the person back I couldn't get audio over either the headset or the phone without soft resetting.

I also have a Parrot CK3100 in my personal car (i use the motorola in my work car) and have never experienced this with any rom. Prior to flashing 23053 this last time, I did flash a stock rom to try to ensure there wouldn't be any weirdness. It always could be something with the hf820, since it is getting pretty old now.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] 2alive:
Thanks, I'll circle trough stock rom and back to try.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
OK. My clock changed itself a few times again :( I think it's going after I recieve a call. Maybe this 3G dialer is not compatible with new packages?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Guys, sorry for the poor feedback - I see everyone is chatting and helping, so that is great.

I am away at the moment, and unable to get to a computer too often and don't have my kitchen handy - the "Leader of the Opposition" (aka my wife) wouldn't be happy if I was spending my holiday cooking ROMs :) -[whispering]of course she isn't aware that I stashed my laptop and cooking utensils in a spare bag either :D[/whispering]

Anyway, will get back to it on my return.

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] prvtryan:
Thanks for your work! I downgraded from 1.71 to 1.69 radio and everything is working nicely.

Have fun!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Mickafromparis:
Thanks!

Just discovered ur ROM tonite, i just loveee it so far :o)

Thanks 4 or work.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
just finished downloading 1.20 std. flashing now... will post findings after getting to work. thanks

update: everything looking good again. exchange, weather, internet and pop3 email all work. the only thing i've noticed so far is that there's a clock in the title bar on the home screen. seems a little redundant, since there's a really big clock underneath it and i don't remember it being there on the last release.

a quick regedit fixes this though:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Shell

add a new dword value with the name "TBOpt" (without quotes of course) with a value of 0.

softreset and the clock should be gone.

thanks again for the good rom
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Wasn't aware of that reg trick - will add it into the next update.

Thanks

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Okay have discovered that this is a Phone Canvas related issue. The 3G version uses the std NIKI phone canvas which doesn't have the bluetooth indicator.

The Std version of the ROM uses a different phone canvas and does show bluetooth icon in the titlebar, but (if I remember correctly) only shows the headset icon when the headset is in use.

Haven't been able to find any alternative 3G dialer or bluetooth indicator at this stage.

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] muzikfreakah:
@moeava luck you, thanks for the tip, still downloading and using PIM backup as we speak too. I will try to make this a PC-less ROM flash.

Thanks D-Train!! Cant wait!

Update: Wooohooo! Internet problems are gone :-D Running low on battery so need to recharge.

Thank D-train for the awesome ROM, for the Games (invaders rock), S2u2, of course PIM backup-Supah Sweet!!!. No complains. Will test further, again muchos gracias!!!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
Found another bug. it appears that when you take a picture with the camera it doesn't save the pictures at all. I tried a couple different times and after taking the pictures it thinks for about a minute and then the screen goes black before going back to the camera.

Another thing, I've been using this dialer skin for a while on other roms, and it definitely looks good with your rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=429179

there's three cabs that you have to install for it, the actual skin, smartdial, and redial.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mrosen:
Just flashed the new rom. The alarm bug is gone now (as far as i can remember it was a bug in s2u2 1.60. Newer versions should be fixed).
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
now i've been trying to map S2U2 to the long press end key, but haven't been having much luck.

I copied the link from /windows/start menu/programs for s2u2, renamed it Long_end.lnk, and put it in /windows. from everything i've read that should do it, but it's not working.

The .lnk file contains:

42#"\Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe"

which like i said was originally the s2u2.lnk from the start menu.

the reason i'm trying to do this is because I've used the HTC long press end app to lock my phone for so long that its second nature to press and hold the end key when i'm done using the phone.

any suggestions? (i'd like to stay away from having to install an app to control the buttons like AEBPlus, even though i did try that and i didn't seem to work either)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
So pictures are fixed in the latest build?

Are you refering to the green bar across the top (that is blue when charging and may sometimes be purple)? If so this is a battery meter, if not, can you post a screencap so I can see what you are seeing?

Thanks

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] mishu:
Yes, in 1.20 the pictures issue you've mentioned is not present. And yes, the description is correct, I didn't figure it is a battery meter (soory!). So it is a feature and not a bug! :) :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
I just tried taking a picture again... and it's still doing what i described earlier. It sits on the screen with the small icons (camera, garbage, envelope, and magnifying glass) for about a minute, the screen goes black, before the camera (viewfinder) comes back up. Upon checking the album, there are no new pictures and the remaining picture count hasn't changed.

Is everyone else using 1.20 3G, cause i'm using 1.20 standard.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
have you checked the storage settings in the camera?

I am using the same build and it saves it on my storage card in a DCIM folder.

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
In the camera app, under settings its showing that pictures are stored to the storage card.

i hadn't checked the camera with your previous releases so i don't know if it has ever worked. Its worked correctly with the most recent wwe stock rom (which is what i was using prior to yours). I'm using radio 1.65.29.22
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
I switched it to using the phone storage and it doesn't appear in the album but saves to My Documents. Is it on your card under my Documents?

try creating a DCIM folder on the root of the storage card and see if that works?

Off to work :( see you guys in a few hours...

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
yeah, i have a DCIM folder on my storage card from previous working rom. under settings it also has numbering starting at 42 which was how many pictures are in the DCIM folder, so it's recognizing that. thanks for the idea.

update: alright, switched the storage location to phone storage and snapped a picture, it saved fine to my documents... switched back to storage card and now pics are saving normally to storage card. don't know why i didn't try that sooner...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] muzikfreakah:
No problems with my photos here. Storing properely on DCIM on storage card.

Some minor inconveniences I found (DT you decide if its a bug or not)

1.) When I plug to an external charge it ask my to choose if its a sync or storage connection just like when you plug it to a PC :-)

2.) After installing worldmate, It gave me an error in the end, non the less, after exiting that error window, it gave me a worldmate successfully installed window. It ran, I changed the settings to Manual update(conversion rates, weather) and now, after I exit the application, my internet keeps connecting. I manually shut it off but still it comes back on by itself :-( My service provider is charging everytime I connect and even when I restarted the phone, the problem was still there. Is this a worldmate issue?

Ill try to uninstall worldmate right now.

Also with Radio: 1.65.29.22 I feel the back lower part of the phone is heating up albeit. Will try to update to 1.71 later as yesterday when I tried to do it, it gave me an error in the end stuck at multicolor screen even after 100% which only get solves with a reflash.

Sor fat thats it :-)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
External charge - a direct power/car charger you mean? Just went and checked my AC charger and it didn't ask the question - anyone else noticing this issue on the 3G version?

I ran the install for Worldmate and it was running fine - so not sure about that one.

The radio - I found I had to got from 1.65.29.22 to 1.65.24.36 then to 1.71.09.01 because going from 1.65.29.22 straight to 1.71.09.01 failed every time.

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
I noticed that when you open album from programs it defaults to "Camera Shots" which looks at 'my pictures' and the 'DCIM' folders. If you change the album to "All" you can see all the images...also if you set "All" as your favourite album setting, this is the album which the M2D Pictures and Videos tab (not enabled by default) uses to view.

I am going to look into the camera saving images into 'my documents' - I am sure it is meant to save into 'my pictures'.

Also I checked the Camera settings and the default image preview is set to 10secs - then it blanks the screen and is ready to take a new image...you can change it to a shorter period or make it 0secs for no preview.

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] moeava:
It may have been that. I posted without double checking the exact folder... all i knew was that it finally worked.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] muzikfreakah:
Will test the charger further with the original charger later since I was using a 4 port USB charger from CAPDASE.

Will test the installation again for worldmate. Question though, after installing and setting it to manually connect, does your Internet go on and off without you operating anything?

Ok will follow those steps for 1.71.09.01.

Updates:

- The default Contacts link on the home menu right softkey points to camera? Had to manually make a new one via softkey on m2d customizer.

- With my current Radio, battery seems to drain very fast. I feel lower back of phone getting warm as well.- Will test further

-On ABC mode when texting via hardware keyboard, everytime I delete one letter back, the I enter the right key, a letter would pop out. Example: I want to type the word "good" but I Type "goob" instead, I delete "b" via backspace on hardware keyboard, then when I press number 3 for "d", number 2 comes out instead. or something like that.

Updates2:

- When charging on original HTC charger it does not ask the question anymore :-)

- Activsync not connecting in Vista 32bit. Same problem I had with another ROM here in this forum before. I disabled the "enable faster data syncronization" as this fixes my problems with vista for some other roms too, but still it gives me an error 608. No problems connecting to XP on my laptop.

-Flashed to RUU Nike Radio 1.65.24.36 ROM Still no connection to vista.

- Add request: Please add 3G on off on comtab or shortcuts and bluetooth stereo (A2DP) on off as well.(if possible only, i know the 3G works, but the bluetooth not sure.)

Thats it for me for today, will continue testing tomorrow.

Question: Can I install and M2D theme on your ROM? like themes found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=451702
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] boredpilot:
I have to say im loving this rom, using 23053 with albumn 2.5, and 3D, radio 1.71, no issues except for album claiming an error on start up then it runs.

Will advise if anything happens, but so far run for 3 days and all good.

Has someone found a solution for the clock issue, I mean, when waking up or returning to the home tab, it shows GMT time and takes a while to update. Can it be solved via registry?

Thanks.

I'm using now 21859 (one week) and no bugs so far. I previosly mentioned that the endkey doesn't return to home tab. If this is a problem not only for me, I installed AEButton Plus (trial period now) and it solved it.

I really like this rom, thenks to DT, but I'd like to be able to install the shell we most like, as you said ie. SPB MS but then, we'll need a lite rom (without TF2D) and don't know if that's possible.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] gunmetal83:
i think its very much possible

infact Dt was asking people for suggestions for a lighter version

some wanted the manila 2D others dint

personally i think manila is a useless thing,

sorry if i hurt any feelings

but touch flo is a classy straightforward thing

i also think that the lighter rom should have the standard aplications only

google,facebook,youtube,maps and navigation, xtra games, 2 browsers etc can be easily skipped and maybe put up as separate cabs for users to install on personal use

.....

one original suggestion which i hvnt seen in any rom yet

if somebody knows a lil about the basic software development

he or she can develop a cab with these rom component installations in a separtae installer interface where you can choose which cabs to install and which to skip

is that possible?

happy thinking :)

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] deepthroat:
Google for Sashimi ;)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] gunmetal83:
well deepthroat (:) couldnt help a smile at the nick)

yes it can be a way of doing it

but isnt that too complicated

what i actually meant was that there should be the core OS

and then there should be a small software installation interface that autoruns during the first boot of the rom, where you can choose what pre cooked-in cabs to be installed and what not, via simple check uncheck sort of a formatting

wouldnt that be great...

custom roms will get ultra cutomised

Ezinput

Today I tried to install the spanish cab for ezinput but I got only the keys (no letters) in the screen keyboard, then, I uninstalled it and installed the multilanguage one and the spanish options didn't work, so I uninstalled the whole thing again and re-installed 16 key.cab

I got it working but now, there is a "gap" between the keyboard and the taskbar at the bottom. Can someone give me a clue on what's wrong or what I did wrong. Why the spanish language is not working???
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] deepthroat:
forget my nick ...ha ha cant help either :D

there is a lot UC capable custom ROM available but since WM6.5 introduced it has been less working - in the circumstances I found Sashimi at least less causing problem in doing cab installation, setting back owner information, registry settings, local settings, GUI preferences, etc.

But none of the process will run automatically, usually because cookers had different taste of cook, so you will have to take a look of what inside the rom first, then you can decide what or which to put back to the device.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Davka:
DT, after a few days of tests I noticed that only a 3G version of your ROM was somehow broken (at least on my phone). Clock changes, freezes and even auto hard reset.

None of these thing happened on 2G version (both 21859).

Question: Is everyone using the M2D interface, or are some disabling it and running Titanium?

Just trying to see if I can trim some fat :)

DT
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Thommy Capone:
personally, I could loose some fat...

I really dislike Titanium, and therefore am using the M2D interface. Apart from getting used to it, it works a lot smoother than the old-school 6.1 infterface. With Titanium I lost oversight really quick, and found it not as (easily) adjustable to my own wishes as I had hoped.

The opinions of several people in this topic about making a really, really slim and light (No Twitter/No Facebook/Not 2 webbrowsers etc) version, and adding your own functionallity to it with .cabs (Add Twitter/Add Facebook/Add 2 webbrowsers etc ;)), is really appealing to me as well.

My 0.02$.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] d_train:
Looking into this Thommy - I know I will never make everyone happy - trying to find a happy medium. And I don't want to exclude a package that breaks the functionality of the ROM. I guess phase 1 has been the input and the Album - from what I see the 16 and 20 key cabs are almost even in the downloads - but Album 2.5 is winning the Album downloads hands down. A little trivia, 3G downloads out number 2G downloads 2.5 : 1

Web Browsers: IE has always been apart of the SYS, and therefore I have never removed it...M2D's last release from the MEGA actually used IE as the default and did away with Opera. Personally I prefer to just have one, but M2D has defaulted back to Opera AND I am sure I read somewhere that the home tab uses IE in some way, so at this stage both stay (am trying to find time to test and build - but work is really, really busy at the moment).

Facebook cab - can do

You Tube cab - can do

I am trying to cut back where I can. I know this is a HEAVY rom...I am trying to find a suitable slimming diet :)
