u should read the instruction and wiki 1st. this rom is abit different as it use the new base from HTC. most of us here had some difficulties on flashing this rom. it requires uspl.. most of us use HSPL therefor downgrade is required but for your case it will be easier....

read the instruction made by Dutty its on the 1st page.

we all here will not take any responsibilities if you bricked ur phone... I hope not

SOLVED: ActiveSync Issue

In case anyone else was enocuntering this. Go to Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and uncheck the fast usb connections check box. That will fix this issue. Dont understand the cause but found the fix.

Blame yourself!!!

To those who still complaining bout the confusing guides from Dutty of installing 2.7 and 2.8, if you didn't do it right, blame yourself, don't blame Dutty for misleading and for his confusing guides. What Dutty did was just simply cut and paste the links and guides from various posts necessary to flash his latest roms.

To be frank, I almost gave up trying these roms as I myself was confused and thought that it was Dutty who never provide guide properly. However, after reading and reading and preparations, it is us all that who should do the reading and know what we are doing in the first place. So, as the "old words", read the WIKIs, DAMN IT.

We don't need Dutty's guide, we just need to follow his suggested steps, beyond that, please to those who have problems, do read all the WIKIs of what is involved flashing the rom, and do the homework!

I've flashed to the 2.8 now, and I've gain more knowledge now of what I've experienced!!!! Thanks Dutty again, always with you!!!! And as usual, love your roms!!!!

can anyone pack all the manila skin files from 2.8 and 2.7 separately ?

then we can replace them if we want.

so that we can choose the theme we like.

I personally like the blue one in 2.7 more than the usual black in 2.8.

by the way i think it's possible to collect manilla theme files as a rar or even make a cab. but i don't know how...

I had try to assign photo to contact from HTC ALbum so tt it will be in HI-RES. This can be done when i am using Dutty V2.1 Xtreme ROM. Now i tried to do the same steps but its ask me to crop instead.

Is there anyway i can assign the whole photo instead of cropping?

home button

The hard back button an hard home button don't work properly on 2.8. Example: from browsing any application try pressing the hard home button, it will take u to any previous application u were using...However that works fine in 2.7.

The only things i don't find interesting in 2.7 are the watch on the home screen and the time zone bug.

Beside that, it works and looks better than the 2.8

Great job Dutty, Wish daughter to be fine very Soon, U deserve a donation for your Hard work

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fjevel:
I don´t see this behaviour in 2.8. For me the home button works as intended all the time. Do you have any addons installed?

I also agree that the visuals of the 2.7 is better than the 2.8, but that does not help as long as the 2.7 was so prone to total hang as it was.

I´m crossing my fingers hoping that Dutty can fix the problem with the 2.7 manilla in a later release.

Hi,

I have fixed the storage card invisible issue.

After installing the last ROM from HTC the storage card is visible. You should to a data backup and then format the card with Storage tools Pocket PC application http://www.softwinter.com/storagetools.html.

Remove the card from the phone and install the last Duttys' ROM v2.8. Attach the card and everything should be ok.

I hope that helps.

This ROM seems to be working absolutely fine for me but there is one strange issue.

Is anyone experiencing high memory usage? With the stock rom my memory

usage was somewhere between 35-50%, with this new ROM it tends to stay

around 50% straight after a softreset and then jumps up tp 60%+ once I've

opened and closed apps.

On the stock ROM I used to have TaskFacade, Gyrator and File Explorer Extension

running all the time but the memory usage never past 50%.

I've now got the same stuff installed but Flip It instead of Gyrator as it's bundled

with this ROM and the memory usage seems strangely high.

Is this normal?

Can you flash USPL from phone?

Quick query for experienced users. I've already asked same question on USPL forum but with no response yet

I'm at work and I'm trying to get USPL on me second HD

Only problem is that I'm unable to execute Blac_uspl.exe due to my work anti-virus :mad:

Is their a way to execute this from your phone rather than via USB cable and active sync? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
Without, because I don't like it and I think it is not legal any longer (see Microsoft page).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
Yes, because this ROM use the next version of Manila (and some other stuff) which use more memory.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Matthes42:
No, there´s no way. Just disable your Antivirus Software or ignore the blac_uspl.exe in your Antivirus Software
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Da11y:
Oh ok. Have you any idea what this other stuff may be?

An increase in memory usage from 40% to 60% is quite a noticable one you see.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ZekeWolf:
No, you need a computer. The phone needs to be in bootloader mode when you flash.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Thought this was probably the case!!

My only problem is I'm at work and unable to disable Anti-virus software as I don't have administrative rights and I can't ignore blac_uspl.exe either

Obviously when I get home I can rectify this immendiately, but was hoping there was a workaround while at work!! :mad:

Only problem I've got with it is that it changes the volume control to a diamond (I think) one. It's slightly squashed and won't let me change it to single volume, it's always split between system and ring even though the setting has been changed to single volume.

But hell, looks cool don't it!?!

Yeah, I just realised this. I feel like such a noob now :P

It didn't seem to do anything (using Windows 7) so I thought perhaps it was just the console window that pops up when you use the wrapper.exe file. Just went to my mum's comp; still running XP, seems to be working fine.

Hey guys I have a big problem with roms 2.7 and 2.8 please help

in both these rom when I work about 1 hour to install my programs and settings after flashing,

I soft reset to finalize my installations but when the device resets it shows the main red rom and radio screen and the goes to a black screen and stops

in fact it doesn't even reach to the animated musical htc logo, only shows a black screen !

so I have to hard reset and install everything again and again

after I flashed 2.8 , I had this problem 3 times from this morning until now ...

and i'm frustrated

i tried to figure out what causes this but nothing worked.

I usually install all the spb programs and disable the manila and i used to do this in older roms like 2.6 and it worked well

but in 2.7 and 2.8 after i disable the manila the phone freezes and i have to soft reset .

then it sticks in a black screen so i have to HARD RESET !

please tell me what causes this problem and how can I prevent it and how can I solve it ?

A question to Dutty

Hi,

Are you going to include Cyberon Dialer in your ROM in the future?

I tried the commander but it's accuracy is nowhere near the the CVSD I used in the stock rom. Since I use mostly use my HD with Jabra BT headset and often in the noisy surroundings I really appreciated a straightforward solution which CVSD provided me with.

My native language is Polish and VC is unable to correctly pronounce the names. What is more the whole procedure: first speak a command "call" then the name and then decide which number it should choose (home/work/mobile) makes it almost impossible to use. Not to mention the accuracy of the VC which is far worse than simple but friendly CVSD.

Thanks in advance for you answer,

Greets from Poland and thanks for great ROM,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Before you flash Dutty's 2.8 (step 4 in your post) you need to install a 1.56 HTC rom first. So, your step 4 should be flash signed 1.56 HTC rom and step 5 should be flash Dutty's 2.8 rom (and make sure you run USPL when you load Dutty's rom, you don't need to for a signed HTC rom). The reason you have to load the new 1.56 HTC rom first is that it updates the SPL on your phone. Then once you do that you can run USPL and load Dutty's rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] N!ghty:
ahh now i get it.. i thought 1.56 would be the old version +.+ ok.. ill try! one sec :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
You could always install the CVSD separately (I used to do this but then started using the MVSC) ... if you need it there are cabs floating around. If you can't find it and need it let me know...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you have already flashed back the stock SPL, which it looks like you did from your post, all you need to do is install a signed HTC 1.56 rom (no need to run USPL for that). USPL/HSPL are only needed to flash cooked roms. Signed roms from the manufacturer will install on the stock SPL.

1. Just download and install a signed HTC 1.56 rom and install it.

2. Run USPL

3. Install Dutty's 2.7/2.8

4. Drink beer / play with new rom :D

Complete Restore of apps and data after ROM update

Hi all,

as I read quite frequently in the thread that people are installing all the apps/ programs after a ROM upgrade (thanks Dutty for all your great work) - there is a way of happy flashing Dutty´s ROM versions - which are quite frequent :D.

As described earlier in this thread - I am using Sprite Backup 6.5.4.14 (=latest update) - any NO I am not working for Sprite Software.

Here how it works (at least for all Dutty 2.x XTREME versions):

- I am making a full image as an EXE file of the Touch HD BEFORE flashing the new ROM to the storage card.

- Then flashing the new ROM (just did it with the 2.8 XTREME version).

- After the hard reset you set the right timezone and local time and search for the image exe on the storage card (the one you made just before flashing).

- Run the exe (might take a bit of time until it will start up) and

- Restore the image in MERGE LEVEL 1 - this is important as all other levels will NOT bring all your settings and programs back!!

- the only thing that - at least I - needs to be done is to pair your BT devices again and re-enter your WLAN keys (if you have had networks setup before)

- after that you have the NEW ROM AND all your old installed apps/programs AND settings!!

Happy Flashing :D
