Wait bob, Now it stops displaying chinese again... so random.. Not sure whats going on...don't include it in the ext folder yet... I think we need to test in a fresh hardreset.. I will update you if I find something..

To Rob,

I can confirm that the ezinput chinese worked in other ROMs, I think the problem must come from the font.. I know A4 is good, but I like ezinput more. I will try to play around with it to see if I can come up with something

ขอบคุณครับ
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
The random loss of Chinese display ability seems to be related to Opera. It happens (even without ezinput chs installed) when I run Opera 10b2.

I'm wondering if the glyph cache size could affect this.

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kiowa79:
Any idea to solve this?

Thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rm001:
Hi Bob, may be it is possible to include a Russian language also? It must be no more difficult than a Chinese?

Thank you for your work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
This is not a bug. There is only MS task manager included, which you can easily assign to one of the Manila home shortcuts. Or you can install Showcase from preset Installer, or any third party Task Manager.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
It is no problem but you have to get the stuff for me and test it then I can include it to be installed after flash. My ROM now has a all counties wince.nls so it will support all languages. You just have to put together the Font link cab and input keyboard.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rm001:
As I understood, I can do nothing, because I am too far from all these stuff. I just found the Russian wince.nls in my phone. Does it do any sence if I want to add the Russian in your ROMs?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
you will need to dump the rom and extract the font and keyboard files... I guess there are russian keyboard cabs for you to download, so maybe just the font files... to make a cab of font is much easier than for a keyboard..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rm001:
Ok friends I am really a BIG ZERO in thise case. I thought we can easily use all your ROMs in Russian. Sure there are some methods, but they are not as it MUST be.

Let`s forget it, thank you! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kiowa79:
I did not say it is a bug, only a behaviour. I only wanted to close an app when tapping the X to avoid useless memory consumption and loss of time, I mean, if you want to close the program you have to do two things, first exit clicking the X, but as nothing really happens then you have to open task manager and click end task, so there is a waste of time.

With HTC task manager this could be easily done by modifying this

I have installed it as you can see but there is no change, maybe is not compatible with win mobile version of the rom.

So the question is still prowling here, is there a way to really close when tapping the X or the OK of the bottom bar? Any menu inside the rom itself? Any third app? Any version of HTC task manager compatible?

Thanks for your time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] virtualx:
bob

rapidshare ..really sucks .... come on :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
HTC Taskmanager has grown incompatible. Over some of the past releases it was included, yet hold to close didn't work. If you go back and read posts in the latter sections of Dutty's forums, you'll read him explaining that he took it out of his ROMs because HTC had removed it and he noticed a significant performance increase with it gone.

I wish every application just included an Exit command in its menu.

There are also some mods to change the behavior of the X button without it. I believe I saw Grid Evo (maybe I'm mistaken) had a mod that closed the app when holding down X and opened task manager when holding down the Windows button.

Rob

In other news: I've increased the FONT cache to 4mb and still have exactly the same behavior. If I open larger apps I lose the font and have to restart. Bobsbbq -- can we get a non-extendir version to test? I'm assuming it can't be disabled in a live ROM...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
try to use the font from bob's cab...it is only 4mb..

I found something might solve the problem, need to mod bob's cab, will try to repack it to see if it works, but im busy at the moment..

I experienced the same problem of xt9 not popping up and can't type PinYin... Not sure why but I had the cab working perfectly on Topix ROM...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
I no longer think the problem is due to font cache size. I've seen some icon switching going on. I also did an analysis on the virtual memory system. I'm

The cab I sent through is the font I've been using every since Dutty 1.9 sometime last March. I've used it on nearly every ROM and many times on LIA. I also used it without this problem on all earlier versions of LIA (most recently only on MS versions). I also believe I was able to use it on v16 without any problems, though I didn't test long due to lack of nls support.

We need to isolate and determine if the problem is with:

21616

extendir

wince.nls

BobsBBQ can we trouble you for these builds?

21616 w/o extendir

21616 w/ extendir but with the other (no Thailand, but had China) wince.nls I sent you, the ~800k one (I've used it on 30+ ROMS).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] corwin_de_amber:
First option is AmeBa, you can get it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583002

But I prefer ShowCase. You can download it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530564

or just install from bobbbqs's PresetInstaller.

In ShowCase setting (PresetInstaller put it into Start>Utility) set:

"Close Button on Right" to close applications and

"Hide Homescreen Icon" to not overlap with the clock.

So you can click on the clock to close application or to X to minimize it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
As I said you can install showcase suite, or a third party task manager. Unfortunately this is a problem with WM6.5 and as stated HTC task Mgr is not included in any of the new ROM's from HTC. In my experience the HTC Task Mgr works better on 6.5.0 builds, not the new UI 6.5.3 builds.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I don't think it is Extendir, but I will try to get a non Extendir version to test if I have the time. As you said you have used it on other builds with Extendir without problems.

I'm spending a lot of time trying to get the new build out and I still have some problems. HTC Sense is much smoother snappier and has a new Documents Tab.

Which ROM and OS (PC) do you have?

Try

1. Go to Mobile Device Center and remove all the devices.

2. Restart computer

3. On the HD go to ActiveSync>Menu>Options and remove all Windows PC content.

4. Soft reset HD.

5. Connect it to the PC

hi bob!

i found this bug related to igo8. in fact i found it also in previous releases of your rom

when i start igo8 i have an annoying repetitive noise like you repetitive tap the screen. i can't make it dissapear no matter what i tryed

i belive it is rom related because it didn't occur on other chef's roms

do you have a solution?

thank you!

regards

LIA16.1 21616
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
No, I have never used igo8, I use only Garmin Mobile Navigator XT and I have no problems with it. Maybe some other users can comment. Since I don't have the program it will be hard for me to duplicate the problem.

Is there a free version? Is there Maps for Thailand? If so I can try to find the problem.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noris08:
i don't know about free version, but for sure there are some "tweaked" versions floating around

and yes, i found a thailand map because i needed it in november when i visited thailand

thank you anyway!

To bob,

Are you cooking the new rom with the leo 2.01.. cant wait!! :)

Apart from the font, can't get IME_CHS working as well...not sure why.. In EN mode xt9 not working, and CN mode PinYin not working.. Maybe we can't install the CHS version over the EN version? Is it possible to have them not cooked in, and have them separated in the ext folder for us to chose? Well, if not possible, don’t worry, we have A4 input as backup 

To Rob,

I have packed a font cab with Arphic_CHS_Font and HTCFont_Link from qilin.. works with 21876 build.. but all font cabs that I have are working on 218xx build...feel free to test it on the new build..

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] enfant1009:
Hi Bob, thanks for the great rom.

I really like your rom, fast and responsive. Anyway, I have one problem, somehow after I install PDAMobizThaiEnable which already included in your PresentInstaller, I still can't see Thai font, character at all, it all become [][][] instead.

Here are what I try:

- Remove PDAMobizThaiEnable that installed from your PresentInstaller, and install one that I normal used, still not work

- Hard reset and install just only Thaienable from your preseninstaller - still not work

- Hard reset and install the one i normally use - still not work

Is there any work around this to show Thai font?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
After you install PdaMobizThaiEnable you have to go to Regional settings and select Thai as your Location. Apart from that it should work. It works for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I will give it a try when I get some time. If I made the IME a cab I should be able to do the EZInput.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
Okay, I understand that would take a lot of your time.

Extendir is causing some of the problems, though. For example, that strangeness we were having trying to copy wince.nls over the old file on 28011 -- that was extendir. To test I setup Grid Evo 1.7, 28014. I was able to copy the same 2mb wince.nls over the old file with now problem. Font and CHS cab also work perfectly. But alas, it has the Birthday/Anniversary (being 1 day earlier than) that is FIXED in 21616. Trade one bug for another. Unfortunately, the disappearing font makes 21616 unusable right now. Similarly the inability to overwrite the wince.nls file on 28011 made that one unusable (lot's of users in our company who don't configure their e-mail to use Unicode).

I'm sure this bug will get fixed in a newer build. Let's hope soon.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
they should use 218xx build for the sake of stability for company phones..haha

I'm currently reverted back to LIA 13.1 with 21876 build..seems good
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Yes but Extendir should have nothing to do with this. What is more likely is the fact that I switched type of kitchen on the last few builds. Some kitchens differ in the way they apply attributes to files during the build. The older one I was using this was configurable and on this new one it is not.

I hope to have a new version to test soon and I will let a couple of you test it first.

v15.5

Hey on the 21884 build and today the phone's been 'going slower than a Little Cheif waitress... which is why it doesn't seem to be doing anything at all'. It was fine yesterday but today is really slow and takes 20 seconds to open start menu from the home screen. I fixed it with a hard reset and freeing up memory on my storage card- only had 30mb free but would that be the cause?

Anyways, installed V16.1 and having an issue with Google Maps not running (says "internal error :0" ). I'll go back to the older stable build i guess on v16.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
hey bob,

this is really strange, I tried your CHS_IME pack and the font on topix 3.2.7 (Build 21885), everything (xt9, pinyin and chinese char.) worked perfectly...this means that nothing wrong with the cab.

I thought the problem maybe caused by the new 21616 build..but I tried them again on your previous LIA 13.1 (with build 21876), fonts displays fine but IME does not work... after installation, lost xt9 suggestion and only can type cap english in pinyin mode... did you left some packages out which might be essential for the IME? I'm really puzzled with this.... with this bit of info, do you have any idea about it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
It is possible, there may be one of the packages in the SYS that is missing. I usually take out what is not related to WWE. The SYS sometimes comes with Arabic packages and other Asia packages which I usually take out. I will send a PM to kwbr and ask him what SYS packages he is using.

I'm pulling my hair out with this new Leo build. I have tried with and without Extendir but I still have yet to get it working.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] noris08:
i found the birthday bug also in many other roms

a workaround would be to do things in following order:

- flash rom as usual

- go settings/clock & alarms/set your region, date and time

- synchronize your phonw with your outlook pc

if you do that and nothing else, no settings or apps instaling, then the birthdays will appear at corect date

good luck!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Can you tell me which cab you installed and did you install Rob's cab first or after to get it working? I have a test build I want to try 21885.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
I have modified the cab a little bit, I separated the font and the IME, I took out the font from you pack, and made a font cab from qilin HTCFont_Link, Arphic_CHS_Font and some reg entries from Rob's cab...

but I think your own pack with IME and font worked as well, I can't remember exactly.

here are the two cabs worked on topix 21885

http://www.mediafire.com/file/v3djwhjljzm/IME_CHS_Keyboard_2_1_1920_repacked.cab
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
The behavior I saw was that of files being locked outside the system's normal process. It didn't seem nearly as simple as file attributes. As an example, I copied a file into the Windows directory, and afterward was unable to delete it. Eventually, to remove the file, I had to cut/paste it into my documents (yeah, it couldn't be deleted, but it could be moved), soft reset, delete. The file, even after being pasted somewhere else, was undeletable. This is evidence of a filesystem filter locking file handles that exist in the Windows directory, and continuing to lock onto them even after they have been moved to another location; effectively treating them as if they were in the windows directory. Sound familiar?

In addition, when we tried to install the wince.nls, it DID copy, and it did overwrite the old file. Despite that, the system seemed to continue using some other file, despite the new one placed into \Windows. It was as if it had a shadow copy somewhere. This isn't the normal behavior of write protecting a file. We were able to overwrite, it just didn't make any difference to the system.

About removing languages from SYS -- to the best of my knowledge, there isn't any reason that would benefit the system performance wise. Those parts of the sys are only used if needed.

One question, is Quickgps included in this ROM? (I have not succeeded to find it.)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Just a update on my progress for the next version.

I had so many problems with the new Manila due to the new Documents tab. It writes some data to the storage card during customization and my XIP which was cut down and very lite would not work. So I have built a new kitchen from the ground up and I'm still tweaking the XIP to get the most I can out of it. I have not tried Extendir yet, I will wait until I have it working good without it then I will try to add it. Once I finish tweaking the XIP I will have to CFC compress the Manila and set it up for Preset Installer. When finished I'm going to put up a test version for 21887 with Manila Included and without Extendir so you can test.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
Bob,

I think i know why the IME works on Topix series, the Rom comes with Touch Input 2.0 in default...So I guess there is not clash if we install the IME_CHS 2.1 on top of the English 2.0 version...

But for your ROM, you cooked the 2.1 version in.. install the CHS pack might break the xt9... If you could make the EN IME and CHS IME in separate cabs in ext folder, it may solve the problem. But I know, the IME is a bit gay for making a cab..

For the font side, we may need to wait for an update for the 216xx build (by the way, 21619 is out!!)… your 21876 roms are ok with the font cab..

Looking forward for the new release… hope the M2.5 will be as smooth as M2.1!!!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] corwin_de_amber:
Yes, I now this is difficult, but try to read explanation before you flash ROM.

"How to install?: Copy the Extendir folder found in download to the root of your storage card. Flash the ROM as usual, then go to Applications folder in Start Menu and select Preset Installer. When Preset Installer comes up you can click next and install the programs or utilities you want by checking the boxes for each program. Then Click next and then install. Make sure the box is either empty or has a bold check, if it has a faded check this means it will be installed to Storage card. Manila is Partially loaded in ROM and Most installed post flash with Preset Installer. You will have to turn on Manila in Today settings items after install."

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Did you put the Extendir folder in the root of your storage card? Go to your storage card and lokk under Extendir\Setups you should find all the categories and if you open one of them the cab files inside. You can run Preset Installer from the Storage card by clicking on the PresetInstaller.exe

You must install both Manila files for manila to work.
