[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Black C5:
I have reformatted the text from Matt’s (M4ttster) questions and SILENTHATRED’s answers from post 1614 so that they can be more easily read. Good questions, good answers:

Hi NRG

My girlfriend and I both got one of these phones 2 weeks ago and immediately put on your Rom, since weighing up all the others (pros, cons, usability, and visuals ;)) yours seemed to be what we were after! I must say, we are both extremely impressed with your work, and are now addicted to the phone! Excellent stuff, keep it going.

I read above you asked for some suggestions in making a final ROM version before sticking to developing 3.0, so I'm sure my ideas will not be unwanted or taken in a wrong way by you (I’m not telling you what to do).

Please forgive me for not knowing what problems/minor fixes/tweaks I mention below are from your ROMs, HTC or rhodium... all these things I do not understand to well or differentiate which problems lies with who :P If any of these are reported in the wrong place, please direct me to where they should be mentioned instead. Thanks.

Matt: *1. Call history*

a.) Have different tab bars for "missed" "received "dialed" "all"... at the moment I only see (All). Maybe something like the messages page with "message type" dropdown box top right hand corner

SILENTHATRED: 1a. That's the design of Manilla, not the ROM. Same function stock

Matt: *2. Contacts*

a.) I don't see why there are 2 different styles of contacts. It is so confusing. (*1st type: "Start Menu --> Contacts"* and *2nd type: on today screen "People --> All People"*)

b.) On the 2nd type method, if a contact has 2 numbers stored (home, mobile PLUS the "send message" you can see "information" and the "edit contact" button clearly... (99.9%) however you cannot click it. You have to scroll down fully.

c.) On the 2nd type method, the A-Z vertically aligned on the right hand side (in portrait mode) is really squashed together with tops and bottoms of each letter cut off.

d.) on the first type method, go into a contact which you have rung/received call from previously: the time is cut off on the right hand side "1:08a" <-- missing "m"

e.) On the first type method, you cannot scroll through the names. Bug, feature or not... it doesn't work as intended. Since if you have more than 8 contacts of the same alphabet (like I do) and select "A" you cannot see the rest.

f.) please add Toggle option to sort "contacts" by first or last name in the A-Z listing. It makes little sense to use the "surname" if I have to remember their surname all the time in order to find their contact card. I searched everywhere and can’t find a way to switch it

g.) In landscape mode + 2nd type method: there is no A-Z listed on the right hand side... neither is there a "Search" button as both are when in portrait mode?

SILENTHATRED: 2a. Another built-in design, I think an HTC original idea. The only think I could relate it to is SPB has favorite contacts tab. I think that was the intended design of this tab.

Matt: *3. Messages*

a.) Menu --> "messages" it still shows someone’s number even though I have added them as a contact afterwards. If I click the text message, it then shows their name correctly. Likewise, if I have renamed someone’s contact card after their text, it still shows it as the old name.

b.) related to above, if I click "all messages" and go to the same text. It shows the "conversation with ...telephone number!!"

c.) when in landscape mode, if you go to a text from "messages" on front page, select it and it shows the basic "conversion", not the same as the "all messages" view with the color-coding... Anyway, with this view, it cuts off the right hand side of all texts. To and From.

d.) In landscape mode, go to "all messages" if you click on the persons name when inside a "conversation with...” who sent you the last text. Go to the EDIT contact page, it shows it too big and you cannot see all fields correctly.

Neither can you scroll.

SILENTHATRED: 3a.

a) Did they send you the message before you added them? Delete the old message and new messages should show. I think this is a bug in the version of Manilla.

b) Same as above

c) When I do this, it still shows all messages, but in the new version of Manilla style. Are you sure yours isn't the same way? There is no color-coding in this style, it separates by pictures, but if you don't have a picture for that contact, all the messages look the same. To get around this, add a picture for that contact, or better yet, yourself, so at least you show up differently.

d) Arrow keys are your friend. You can scroll with them. The scroll wheel does not work here. Not sure who is at fault here, but I'm guessing it has to do with the port of Manilla, so it would affect all ROMs, not just this one.

Matt: *4. Today Screen*

a.) In landscape mode: press the "action" button and the page is incorrectly displayed (only see first 2 rows, and you still see a 3rd of the background image on the right)

SILENTHATRED: 4a. I wasn't able to duplicate this. My action screen has all the rows. Are you using Fuzeberry? I installed Fuzeberry separately and without the Fuzeberry action screen.

*5. WiFi Screen*

a.) In landscape mode, go to "communications" and select "WiFi" the right hand of the screen messes up.

SILENTHATRED: 5a. Do you mean settings then communications? I have no "communications" directly from the slider. I can duplicate this, but I thought I installed WiFi Monster since it's part of my UC. I didn't know it was part of the ROM. About the best we can hope for there is an updated version that's landscape friendly.

Matt: *6. Programs*

a.) In landscape mode, there is huge gap on right hand side. Would it be possible to utilize the space and increase it from 4 per row, to possibly 6 (looks like 6 should fit with the gap) - same for "All programs" when in landscape too.

b.) In Programs, is it possible to make option "rearrange" the programs. Therefore, our most favorite/used programs we can put to the top. EG Tweeter (always at the bottom)

SILENTHATRED: 6a. Another Manilla design. The "huge gap" is the wallpaper not fitting the screen. I "accidentally" have different wallpaper for landscape. Not sure how it happened or to stop it as the first wallpaper I set after flashing the ROM is now permanently my landscape wallpaper no matter what I change it to in portrait.

Matt: *7. Bluetooth*

a.) I have received MP3 from my brother 3 times over Bluetooth, each time it saying "received" on both our phones. However, it is not possible to find it even with a windows search. I have manually changed the "FTP" folder path to a new path in both storage card and on phone, and still cannot find it. User error maybe? However, I am led to believe I have tried everything.

b.) Suggestion: When a file is received, make a popup so it can be "viewed/played/opened/actioned" immediately or a "go to file folder" button.

SILENTHATRED: 7a. What you are asking for is a programming design of the interface itself. I think many of your requests are going that way in reality. Search and research more would be my suggestion. The only phones I have problems receiving stuff from are Verizon phones, but that's more because they cripple their Bluetooth than anything else.

Matt: *8. G-Sensor*

a.) Under the Settings--> G-Sensor in Landscape mode, you cannot turn on or off the "auto screen rotation" feature, since it is missing on the right hand side.

b.) turning on "auto screen rotation" hasn't actually worked?! Still doesn't screen rotate? Does it require reset? Hard reset?

SILENTHATRED: 8a. What auto screen rotation in G-Sensor? I have the option to Calibrate and click Ok.

Matt: *9. Communications*

a.) In landscape mode, you cannot "turn on or off" the settings by "sliding" the bar, every time you try, it opens it in full-view mode. It works fine in portrait mode.

SILENTHATRED: 9a. Do have a custom communication screen or something? I just click on or off in portrait or landscape, no sliding needed. Actually not even possible.

That's all for now.

Let me add once more, really pleased with your work, I hope some of my suggestions are correctly reported and clear to understand…and of course, they are relevant to your work and not someone else’s

Let me know what you think, if anyone has fix for anything I've mentioned, I'm all ears

Thanks

Matt

P.S. I'll buy you a beer soon :)
