to michy

Hi Michele,

I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.

Is this a known issue to you?

Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?

Thanks for all you do!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] AdvantageGuy:
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?

thank you!

Can someone explain after taking a GPS photo, how do you find/see the gps info. I get the gps icon in the view when I take the picture and then the photo is named GPS_#. I can't find any information after the photo is taken. I use GPStest to make sure i have a gps connection prior to initiating the camera in the GPS Photo mode. I have a Fuse and have installed both Advanced Config and Pocket Toolman and GPS camera is enabled in both.Thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] behrouz:
you need a program that allows you to view EXIF data, like exifread.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] GWF:
Thanks. You provided exactly what I was looking for.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nhshah7:
did that work? i tried using gps photo and loading the pics on my computer and there was no extra data that i found for the pictures? nothing on the phone seems to work either to tell me where the photo was taken. I was under the impression that the GPS photo feature didn't actually work...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] GWF:
Yes,

I was provided help for two different solutions. If you want to review the data on your PC, there is a free product called EXIF Reader. Copy your photos from the phone that were taken with the GPS turned on thru the camera settings and then open with this reader. If you want to review the data on your phone, another program called GPSToday will allow this. It is free also.

Hi all,

i am new here and i have a question: Will there be, or is there a pokemon version for the htc touch hd?

T-T
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] antrak:
Yes there is, aswell as a official iPhone version, but it was only brought out in a limited edition by HTC.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
ok, so is there maybe an emulator? Or where can I download it?

T-T
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] antrak:
...My bad, I just thought you were kidding. Theres no Pokemon theme if I remember correctly, there is a Mario one however for TF3D version 2. And there are numerous iPhone themes aswell (no emulators) like themes for WAD2 (software you have to purchase), and loads others. You can however just set your background to a Pokemon picture.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
jesus!

oh god that is bad! and it is really impossible to play pokemon on an touchscreen phone?

T-T
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] antrak:
OH A GAME! Damn I thought a theme. Yeah you can definately play it on your HD. Use Morphgear to emulate a GBA or GB (whatever you want) and use a Pokemon rom and play. You will need a WVGA control pad however, you can find one on the forums for the SNES emulator I thought and 1 for the GBA aswell.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
1. thx for the info ^^

2. i have no idea what you mean whit gba,gb,snes or rom??

T-T
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] body85:
lol....

GBA = Game Boy Advance

GB = Game Boy

SNES = Super NES (Nintendo)

ROM..... this is ehh the rom file... on the PC u nee .iso and for an emulater u need a rom.... just use google...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elim:
And what do you mean with:

A theme, a game, a video, a ringtone, a case?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
ok, now i know what all these words mean,

I downloaded "zsnesw.exe" and I downloaded "PokemonBlau.gbc" (that is german for "Pokemon Blue Edition"). And if I run on my pc znesw and I load "PokemonBlau.gbc" it comes just a black screen. :confused:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
If I send zsnesw.exe on my htc, and I start it, will it work?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sschrupp:
the PokemonBlau.gbc file is a gameboy color ROM. You need an emulator that will play gameboy color ROMs such as Morphgear. zsnesw.exe sounds like a Super NES (SNES <-> z...snes...w.exe) emulator.

Morphgear has modules that can run gameboy color, gameboy advance, nes, snes, etc games. There is also a great wvga gamepad in these forums made for Morphgear.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
well, I tried to get snes emulator Morphgear from the internet but I found only "zsnes", and I thought that there isn`t a difference....:confused:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] enzo_450:
You can use SmartGear

I just looked at it this afternoon.

though at the moment I'm just trying to figure out how to map the keys properly :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elim:
Are you sure?

1. "It [zsnesw] currently runs on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and DOS."

So, it didn't run under a Windows Mobile enviroment!!!

2. "ZSNES is a Super Nintendo emulator" and not a gbc (Gameboy Color) emulator!!!

SNES <> GBC!!!

NO! Windows <> Windows Mobile!!!

Sorry, but you have first to read a little bit the manual of your GSM and a little bit about computers and so one.

This is NOT the helpline from microsoft and nintendo ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dredd67:
@T_T :

Take a look at my sig, 1st link. You'll get some info's on how to run morphgear and where to find it.

This was my good action for today.

And to be crystal clear, just because I already see what is growing inside your head: No, I won't answer a single question about roms, emulators and windows mobile.

Google™ and RTFM. is your salvation.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
Thanks for the informations:)

Great GOD! It`s working! BUT:

1. the size is very small (about 50*50 pixel)

2. Where are the keys? How can I make "A" or "B" ?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elim:
In this thread is also a discreption for this problems. First you have to scale to output correctly and then install the skin also proberly (in the directory and in Morpgear): see here again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
The problem is, that this is the MorphGear for PPC 2003 ;(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] T-T:
Ok, I have now the morphgear, and i have now SmartGear and I have a rom and i downloaded your skin, but how can I install the skin? It´s just a .bmp and not a .cab :confused:

[Touch CDMA General] scouzer:
Three problems with my phone using NFSFAN 1.29 ROM:

1) If a text fails to send (several times a day in perfect signal), it says it'll save it to drafts to be sent later. It doesn't actually save it to drafts. I don't want it to save to drafts anyway, as the generic Bell ROM it gave me the option to simply try and send again. Is there any way to enable the option to resend texts? Also, if I've received a text in the last 10 seconds, an outgoing text will ALWAYS fail to send. Very annoying.

2) Once in awhile, the battery will kill itself in 8 hours with only very light phone usage. Today the phone was all warm as if it was doing something very battery intensive, but it was just sitting idle. It died in 7 hours with only about 15 SMS as usage. The only thing open in task manager is Activesync and Messaging. This happens once every couple weeks.

3) If I type a text message too fast, it just pukes out gibberish... the most common example if I type 'to' I'll get 'vo' instead. I use the T9 keypad.

The text sending problems are killer though and the main reason I'm posting this thread. I'll probably have to dump this phone if I can't figure out a solution.
[Touch CDMA General] jmitr:
I'm going to answer the battery problem first.

1. When choosing a city in M2D, do you leave it on auto-update? If so this will drain the battery faster

2. Check synch schedule of email accounts. I used to have it set to every hour, then changed it to every 2. Big difference. My important emails come via exchange anyways.

Text issue:

I know it's a pain but try this procedure:

1. Reflash the stock Bell 6.1 ROM, let customizations run.

2. Flash 1.31 using bootloader mode, let customizations run

3. Hard reset once done

I recommended 1.31 because it's the same features as 1.29 (Iolite M2D), only tweaked by NFSFAN much further.

Usually step one is not necesary, steps 2 & 3 are a MUST every time when flashing a custom ROM.

If you are having wierd problems that you searched and couldn't find a solution for, use the full steps 1-3.

Let us know how it goes

P.S. Backing up with PIM backup for the basics is the only recommended backup. If your using something else (such as spd backup) ensure the ROM is the same windows build. NFSFAN recommends only backing up and restoring with PIM so I would go with that.

I know seting up is a pain, but you are dealing with "frequent flashers" on these boards:D!!

Good luck.
[Touch CDMA General] scouzer:
Thanks a lot for your detailed reply! I think I'll actually try the new NFSFAN Winmo 6.5! Looks interesting, maybe it'll fix up my problems too!

Battery problems:

1) Manual check only on email

2) By city on M2D you mean the weather? That's set for manual checks as well
[Touch CDMA General] the-wrangler:
yep, i say go for gold and try the 6.5...the new v6 has m2d as well
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tboy2000:
I know in the new roms the new start menu is included which is part of the new manilla but some people dont like it and prefer to use the original HTC enlarged start menu. I have the latter and want to go back to the new start menu. I know there is a registry edit to enable it again or maybe a cab file?

I have searched for "start menu" but keep coming up with answers about original menu.

Many thanks. I have Davide HP v4 rom.

Hi,

I just flashed my HTC 7500 with SPL 1.2 by installing AthenaWrapper which went through successfully. After upgradation , I flashed the ROM with SPL3.5_R6.5_B3_WM6.5_B21198.rar which also got installed successfully with no errors at all. However after installation , when the HTC was starting , it is just stuck at white screen and does not go ahead at all. I have tried all things including hard reset , but the phone does not come out of the white screen.

Can someone please help URGENTLY ? have I missed something during the installation ? How can I get the unit to boot atleast . In the bootloader screen , the SPL does show as 1.2.

Kindly help please ???

Thank you.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] responderman:
Hi there,

You have answered your own question. you up graded to spl1.2 and then flashed with an spl3.5 rom. you should have flashed an spl 1.2 rom. To use an spl 3.5 rom you need to upgrade again with AP4.0 rom that has the upgrade built in. there is no other way of doing it.

Now you will have to fix your athena with THIS HELPread from post 33onwards, and please read the athena WIKI.

Best of luck

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] superlifer:
Hello Jay,

Thanks for your quick reply. How do I get the Athena connected to my PC now ? I can't connect it through Activesync as it does not boot and is in white screen. Also I tried to put it in boot loader mode and then run the updater.exe but it displays a 'Timeout message ' whether the device is coonected and that Active sync is running ?

Can I install 1.2 ROM if that's possible ? If yes , can you let me know which ROM with SPL 1.2 ver can work ? I am just worried now as my Athena may be completely dead and I can't use it.

Can you help ? Thanks once again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] superlifer:
Hi Jay , Folks,

I am writing the codes that I see when I put Athena in bootloader mode :

Vdl@4)

IPL-v1.00

vdl@$)

SPL-v1.20.Olipro

From this info , can it be fixed ? Please help

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] lakeman:
Hi superlifer

welcome to the joys of flashing!

Jay has given you a solution to your problem.

Guess what!

You are not the first person to make the mistake you have made and it is documented in several places.

Jay pointed you to the specific post that will fix your problem but he also mentioned you should read the wiki.

i will add to this that you should also read the sticky threads at the top of this forum which include "the beginners guide to upgrading the ROM"

and another thread titled "How to FIX INVALID MODEL ID after bad flashing"

You have corrupted the radio by trying to flash an SPL3.5 ROM onto a phone formatted for SPL1.2.

These roms are different sizes and it wont fit, leading to the unintended consequence.

As I said in the beginners guide , you can flash from bootloader(the 3 coloured screen"

I hope all new owners read this thread and the others I mentioned as it will help prevent the angst you are feeling.

regards lakeman
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] superlifer:
Hello Jay, Lakeman, Cmonex,

Absolutely brilliant !!

My Athena is breathing again and is out of the dead white screen. I followed the steps to fix the model id and wifi (from CMonex ) and was able to overwrite the model id successfully. I then flashed it with ROM WM6.1 MULTILANG R6.1 MiChY which also got installed successfully. On bootloader screen it now shows as:

ATHE100

IPL-v1.00

ATHE100

SPL-v1.20.Olipro

Many thanks first of all to you all and your timely reponses and perfect guidance.

I just want to know now which is the best stable SPL1.2 ROM now which i can install. I want to install 1.2 ROM with HTC Plugin and the big Digital clock and also which will have GPS. My previous ROM had QuickGPS which doesn't seem to be there now and is there way I could get it back. How can I use GPS on Athena.

Apologies as this device is completely new to me i am still getting used to its functions by reading lot of articles and WIKI for this model.

I am scared to put SPL3.5 as I might break something again. My donation is on its way.

Cheers

Xt9 / word and contact name suggestion

XT9 & TEXT SUGGESTION:

This keyboard does not support T9. However, there is an option to enable standard Windows Mobile word suggestion, as well as SMS contact name suggestion. There are two ways to do this.

First way is to use the FingerKeyboard Config tool and select what you want to use (Word / SMS suggestion, or both). SMS suggestions will work normally, but for WinMo word suggestion to function, you will need to switch to HTC default keyboard and manually turn on XT9 on the little T9 switch. After that, you can reload FingerKeyboard and everything will work normally. This can be a good way for people who like to use T9 on other keyboards, but also want to use FingerKeyboard without T9. This approach also makes it possible to use new HTC style suggestion windows (the ones with small arrows on each side, where you can flip between names / words).

To avoid messing around with XT9 switch on HTC keyboard you can simply globally disable XT9 across the whole system. That means that T9 will not work even on system keyboards that have T9 support, but SMS / Word suggestions will both work. This will disable the HTC style suggestion windows, and use the default WinMo style (opens a simple white window with list of suggested words or names). The patch file which disables XT9 globally is attached in this post. This patch can be uninstalled. If you already have it installed, you do not have to remove it or reinstall it. Also, please note that when you install this patch, you will not be able to select SMS /Word options in FingerKeyb config tool - they will always be grayed out.

It might be best to install the FingerKeyb cab and test it first. You can always globally disable XT9 later on if you decide so.

There is a known bug with Word suggestion, that has been almost fully fixed in this version of FingerKeyboard. The bug manifests itself like this:

- if you have "Text word suggestion" turned on, and you type an SMS message, the "home" and "end" buttons will not work while the word suggestion window is open on the screen. If you select a word, those keys will work normally. Unfortunately, this isn't our fault - it's actually a bug in Word suggestion app.​

If you are a ROM cooker and wish to use FingerKeyboard2 bundled in your ROM, you no longer have to request permission to cook FKBD! You may use it in your custom ROM's, as long as you leave the core files unchanged and give proper credits to us..

ROM chefs may find the following info useful. Be aware that this is all info we can provide. If you have problems, please search XDA forums for various solutions.

Registering keyboard in system.

- register dll as com object

or

- add to registry this values:

=====================================

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C03755DF-3EE7-41DF-AE5E-3FBBCA603F1A}]

@="FingerKeyb"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{C03755DF-3EE7-41DF-AE5E-3FBBCA603F1A}\DefaultIcon]

=====================================

Path to .dll can be different.

In registry is saved only which skin files need to load and

which layout was last for each process.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FingerKeyb]

list of exe names and which layout must be restored for this process.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FingerKeyb\SkinFiles]

list of skin files names in _lowercase_

skin-00-scheme-blackblue.txt = DWORD:0 -this means "don't load this skin file"

skin-00-scheme-blackred.txt = DWORD:1 -this means "load this skin file"

Skin files that do not exists in this key will be loaded by keyboard automatically.

Skins directory is relative to place of keyboard DLL.

=====================================

All other settings are saved in skin files (mostly in skin-01-global.txt)

Exception is HTC T9 settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9]

IsSupportMSSIPContact = DWORD:1 - sms name suggestion

XT9SupportMSSip = DWORD:1 - word

But this settings is applied only if:

I would like to second the suggestion about locking the keyboard to the first key pressed, in order to avoid the key changing as the finger is lifted. Most of my typos are made this way.
