Custom city on new manila

anybody successfuly added custom city to the weather tab in v2.8? It worked in v2.4 but now it keep crashing. any idea which new db file should i edit? I find that the old 2330fc3c_manila file no longer exists.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Why? No need.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SorX14:
I'm using this ROM and its really annoying me about the following points:

1. The clock won't get displayed all the time, it works perfectly on TouchFlo, showing on every tab, but when you start an application it disappears.

2. The same goes for the battery icon which is more of a big deal, because I sit there and normally destroy the battery listening to Windows Media Player not knowing that I've got 2% battery left.

I read somewhere on these forums that you can't have the clock and the battery at the same time, and thats fine. I just want the battery icon to show in EVERY application in the top bar. Nothing else is installed on this phone other than duttys 2.8.

On that note, cheers dutty for all your work and help in making this work on peoples phones. You genuinely made me love this phone :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kevin6192:
the links you showed me only shows the info on v2.7 and v2.8

Hi guys

can some body tell me what is the real difference from v2.7 please?i like very much the 2.7v but if Duttys has updated it ,it should be some importante reason that i can't see,i would like to be sure if i realy should update my rom or no,thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] heartofwolf:
Ohh thank You but what is the name for polish language? pl? for english there is en-GB.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kevin6192:
anybody?

is the v2.6 1.56?

on bootup it says 1.56 duttys

but i dont see anyone talking about using USPL and downgrading to flash another rom?

im using HSPL Olinex do i have to change to uspl if i want to flash back to my stock rom? im not planning on flashing the v2.7 or 2.8
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] freggelfrot:
i've same prob. tried severall things , with no luck :mad:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bgumble:
works fine here, you just need to edit 2330fc3c_manila (it's different to previous version)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
No. 2.6 is not 1.56. I was using it before I flashed to 2.7. You can use HardSPL if all you want to do is flash 2.6.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] heartofwolf:
Are You sure that using the full backups of system (including windows and manila) doesnd make any mess in new rom? There are changes in manila files and registry in newer versions of roms and when You restore the backub You will have the old ones. Does anybody have some experiences with this? I'm using 2.4 and want to change for 2.8 but reinstalling programs all the time is a horror:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kevin6192:
thank you!

you're a lifesaver!:D

so i can still flash any other rom by using HSPL right?

i currently have duttys 2.6

and only 2.7 and 2.8 are 1.56?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fantasies:
at the moment it is only 2.7 and 2.8 there is 1.56 :-)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] poceh:
It seems that the timezone issue still exists in 2.8. If you change the current city in the world clock (in manila) to another one, then the timezone in the WM itself is also being changed.

On my device the timezone is changing from GMT +2 Helsinski, Riga, Sofia --- to --- GMT +2 Minsk - which in fact is the first timezone in the list with GMT +2.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] blurblur88:
Do you mind posting the original 2330fc3c_manila from the v2.8 ? I think i lost it. THanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kevin6192:
so if only 2.7 and 2.8 are 1.56

i wont have any problem flashing other roms with HSPL and my current rom is 2.6 right?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nurotic:
Hi all, using 2.8 which is great. Battery life is amazing!!

I dont know if this has been highlighted before. But i have a strange bug in manilla when I make a call, the text goes all weird!

Take a look. Any ideas?

Sorry if ive missed the solution already.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Currently roms that are 1.54 based can be flashed using HSPL. Roms that are 1.56 based can only be flashed via USPL at the moment. You would need to know before flashing any rom what the rom is based on.

And yes, as of now the only roms of Dutty's that are 1.56 based are 2.7+. You could flash any other 1.54 based rom (most roms out there at the moment) with HSPL.

Help? Anyone?

Hi... I am new here and quite unexperienced. Tried to flash the new Dutty 2.8 rom.

I seem to have run into the green screen problem. Fuzzy green windows screen, slow blackstone in general, not functioning phone function.

I probably followed the wrong steps. I first flashed hardspl and then the Ruu_Signed_Dutty's_HD_V2.8_XTREME_5.2.21042.1.6.1.MSVC.RC [1.54 SPL]. Thought I had read all and understood, but somewhere I failed.

I really want to know what to to to get this HTC working normally again.. or where I can find it. I tried to read about it all I can, but now I am confused and stuck... :(

I am really sorry, I feel like an idiot. But please, can somebody help me?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
If you read enough before you flashed you would have read that you cannot flash 2.7 or 2.8 with H(ard)SPL. What you have to do is:

1. Flash a signed HTC rom based on 1.14 SPL

2. Flash back stock 1.14 SPL

3. Flash a signed HTC rom based on 1.54 SPL

4. Run USPL and flash Dutty's 2.7/2.8

If you read through most of this thread you will find similar directions. You skipped major steps... read post 6 of this thread and the wiki. It pretty much explains step-by-step what you need to do including links to the files and everything.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nuknuk32:
Simply use these instructions. You need the Resco Explorer or the TotallyCommander to retransfer the file.

Flashed just about 3 roms today at my work...flash-a-holic :p

ps. has anyone found problems with manila rotating? i've setup flip-it to rotate manila to 0 and 270 degrees but only uses the 0 degree... when i set flipit to only 270, then manila is 270 degrees.... so it is actually responding to flip-it...

I have only one issue with it: when playing videos, they appear far brighter than they did on the original ROM.

As result blacks now appear gray... :eek:

Doesn't matter if play video in album or wmplayer.

Anyone else encountered it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I've no problem flashing 1.54 roms at work, do it all the time. But that was with HSPL. Usually do all my 1.56 roms at home as you need USPL. My problem is I'm unable to execute blac_uspl.exe at work as the work anti-virus picks it up as spyware. I am unable to turn off or disable the anti-virus software as I do not have admin rights.

How did you get around this? or were you flashing 1.54 based roms as well?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bienenschuh:
Hi,

well it is working perfectly on my blackstone! According to Sprite Software Sprite Backup uses a smart ROM upgrade function that a) detects automatically when the ROM version has changed and b) updates/merges the "old" image and registry settings with the new ones. It does make NO changes to the ROM as such! It takes your "old" image and fits it perfectly in the new ROM.

I have more than 30 programs installed and apllied settings which takes me a couple of hours (7-8) to get it to the state how I want to have it. Like you I was very hesitant to upgrade a new Dotty ROM version and nobody could give me an answer if Sprite Backup (or any other Backup program) would work.

So I took the risk - which by the way is kind of limited because if something would NOT work, you can always flash back your previous ROM and restore your backup image.

I started with Dutty´s ROM 2.3 EXTREME and since then I was using this method and - except the re-entering of my WLAN key and the re-pairing of the BT devices (headset, laptop) - it works perfect.

Give it a try and let me know if you have issues.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zaza le Nounours:
There must be something I'm doing wrong. I was using Dutty 2.6, and it was fine. Now I want to try this 2.8, so I reverted back to 1.14 stock things, and I think I've done it correctly. But when I want to upgrade to 1.56, the upgrader starts, and when it reaches 1%, I've got the Vendor ID error which tells me that this upgrade is not for my phone.

I installed the 1.14 French ROM, and tried with the 1.56 French upgrade as well. Now I will try with both WWE versions, but I don't think it will change anything.

Can someone tell me where I go wrong ?

Problems with MSVC in version 2.7 and 2.8

First of all excellent ROM as always. Been following Dutty for years now and his work always seems to excel. Luckily I’ve found the installation of this ROM pretty painless. I much prefer HARDSPL but I guess it’s a matter of time before a new version is out.:)

Now my problem. Voice command on version 2.8 (which I’m currently using) and 2.7 seems to work differently from other ROMS. I see a few people have tried to explain their problem (or new feature) without much success so I’ll give it a try.

Basically I’m finding that when I receive a call with MSVC enabled, my phone will ring for two seconds and then announce the caller. Pause for two seconds and then announce the caller again. This is normal behaviour I here you say, but usually you have a combination of a ring tone and then the call announcement followed by the ring tone then another caller announcement and so on. Now I will hear the ring tone for 2 seconds and then call the announcement, then silence and then the caller announcement followed by silence and so on. The ring tone only ever plays for the first two seconds then it is not heard again.

A simple solution is to obviously disable MSVC but I’d rather not if I don’t have to. I performed many a test by calling my phone on a fresh installation with all the default settings but the problem still persists. What I want to know is, is anyone else experiencing this and is it a new feature?:rolleyes:

I think Its a ghraphic driver problem.

when I pushed the power boutton twice , color goes correct but it goes green again.

my device is ok . there is a problem with rom drivers....

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zaza le Nounours:
Thanks, I found the answer on page 224 (thanks rlatarche !). But I didn't know how to use USPL, so I had to read a few posts here and there, then I had to install drivers to be able to use it on Vista, and it's currently upgrading to 1.56.

Man, I just ruined my afternoon, I'm glad I had nothing else planned today. I hope this new Dutty ROM worth it !

Hrmm. I'm still on 2.6, I'm not really having any significant problems that I haven't worked around.

2.7 seems to be right in many ways, but has bugs that 2.6 doesn't.

2.8 seems to look better, but has shortcomings that 2.7 doesn't.

Neither 2.7 or 2.8 work with HSPL yet. Since my phone came (without my knowledge, lol) with OliNex 1.14 already installed, I'd prefer not to have to change it.

Am I right to think that 2.6 is still the master of them all?

Facebook integration works great

There aren't really any strange manila bugs

Unicode didn't work on HTC SMS input, but MicNeo's SMS mod cab makes the sms input go directly to the "New threaded sms" window anyway, so it's a mute issue now (since unicode input works fine there).

Manila works well

PIM Backup is already installed (reduces my post rom setup recovery by a step).

MicNeo's Taskbar icons cab works great on Dutty's 2.6, so my task icons look great.

------

I won't go 2.8 if Facebook doesn't work (I will it there's a workaround for it's problems). I won't go 2.7 if it has more bugs than 2.6.

Tough call...

No. The reason for doing it in the first place was to raise your SPL from 1.14 to 1.54. Since you have already done so saying that you are running Dutty's 2.7 you only need to run USPL and load Dutty's 2.8! :D

I have noticed a major problem with my sms on this rom and probably on the 2.6. I'm currently on the 2.7 rom. When I send a text message it does not appear in the sent box. It stays in the outbox and continually resends the message unless deleted from the outbox. When I was on 2.6 someone said i'd sent them 47 repeat messages!

Until I get or a new updated htc rhodium manila is release which will fix the facebook integration I wont release a new rom until then.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digital Outcast:
Dutty's 2.8 rom does not include a radio in the rom. However, part of the flashing process is to flash a signed (stock) HTC 1.56 rom, which includes a radio, particularly version 1.13.x.x which is currently the "latest." Therefore, when you flash Dutty's 2.8 over the HTC 1.56 rom the radio will remain 1.13.x.x.

Yesterday and today I have been playing a little with both version of 2.8 with/without MSVC and the only bug which I encountered was that two hardware buttons "home" and "back" are not mapped in the MSVC version.

Thus I got back to the nonMSVC version which is running smoothly if not memory hungry :( The original ROM used to take circa 40 % of the memory. This one starts with 40-something but when only I open and close a few apps, it stabilizes at around 65%. I have still not installed the navigation software. but I expect that when it will be running, memory use will go up till 85 - 90 %. but we'll see.
