NEW ROM Online

Well I finally got the Premium version uploaded. I will get the Lite and standard uploaded tomorrow. Note: The standard + Manila is now called Premium build.

All ROMs upgraded to 21232 XIP & SYS, Fixed Youtube, other tweaks, back to 4 column start menu.

Enjoy:

Thank You to all the Beta Testers who helped me.

Dear Bobs... Thanks for the new version.. just before I download the standard version.. after you upload.. want to check if the standard version includes the Topaz Dialer.. because the windows default dialer as included in lite version is such a pain to use. if not is it possible to include the "Topaz Dialer" in the standard version... regards

Issues...

Hi Guys,

Am I the only one to have issues with this ROM... ?

Sometimes freezing...

Phone cannot be enabled....

Did I miss some tips and known issues there... ?

Thanks for your help !!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wfore:
Thanks a lot bobsbbq for your great job

downloading now
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I have no problems with phone or freezing. There does seem to be a issue with opera and missing font only in reply to messages like this. will check on thistoday.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alifamamo:
Dear

for sure your 3.5 rom so far is the best compared to available roms so far.Keep up your excelent work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
First off, great ROM man, I love it! I just changed from Miri's to yours and I must say I like yours better!

I have a problem tho with the background image in TouchFlo 3D, I can't remove your files. Both of them are write protected and I could only remove the protection on one of them, classicblue_stwater_800_480.jpg still remains protected and no matter what I do I cant seem to remove it, making it impossible to overwrite it with a different file.

Am I missing something? Is there a tool to do these changes that I need?

Thanks

re: remote desktop software

no remote desktop software in rom can yo provide cab and how to config network connections to get it to work. Thank you :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
I haven't had any freezing yet. However, I this time my alarms crapped out within the first 24 hours of using the ROM (last time they waited days). Is there some way to fix them? I cannot go without them for 24 more hours.

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
What's the point of using less memory? Free memory on CE 5.2 won't speed things up. Most WinMo 6.x builds run out of VIRTUAL memory a long time before they can fill up their memory with applications. What kinds of apps are you running?

Bob:

Is there a way to restore the 3 column start menu? The four column seems congested and it doesn't scroll very well (jerky, it seems). I'm more motivated to create folders within the start menu than pack it all into two screens. :)

I know the alarm problem isn't "fixable" but can it be treated? Other than a hard reset?

Thanks again for all your hard work!!

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Btw, I have made sure that TouchFlo is not running and restarted the device before I try to remove the file, still no go :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OnlinePredator:
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for a sweet rom. Been trying a few, but none have been as smooth and as usable as this one. I love the theme, the 4 column start menu is awesome as saves heaps of times scrolling.

Had an issue where the top bar indicated i was roaming, even when data connection was active. I installed a custom top bar and all is good.

Thanks heaps!

I would recommend installing g-alarm for alarm management in win 6.5

PS: RobRedbeard, the cab files for start menu are on the 4th post of this topic.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Sorry been busy on the new release. The stwater is the Today background not for touchflo. The easiest way to change the wallpaper for all backgrounds in through a program in the themes and useres thread. If you search for background for all tabs you will find it. It is a program that lets you use high resolution images and converts them and compresses them into the manila files.

NEW Version

Well things have really been crazy in the WM 6.5 world. 21231, then 21232 and another 216xx.

But it seems all the versions since 21215 are final builds. I have had a long try with the newer builds and it is mine and many others who think 21222 is the best for now. So I'm reverting back to 21222 as a base and combining some of the newer packages and adding more tweaks. MS has still not fixed the alarm issue, but you can use G-Alarm.

Here is a part of a post from Da_G about the WM 6.5 builds.

From Da_G:

OK, here's some new knowledge to pass on after examining 21602:

212xx branch is "CR50AKU1"

215xx branch is "CR50SAM1"

216xx branch is "CR50HTC1"

Given what I already know about 212xx builds past 21215 being final, and 216xx being HTC's branch, it becomes obvious that 215xx is SAMsung's branch

Further, 216xx appears to be based on a prior build to 21215, it still has beta reminders, timebomb, etc. Not sure this build is worth the trouble of dumping as a result.

Expect a new version of my builds tomorrow.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mpf54:
Bob just want to say I have been looking at everyone's 6.5 build and I find yours seem to be just about the best one. At least the one I like best. Thanks for all the good work.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
I've heard they are finalized by Microsoft but not by the OEMs. They're still writing and perfecting their builds, and will be for the next few months. We should expect (*should, again, *should expect) to see improvements in HTC's branch as time goes on. MS doesn't do all the hardware specific drivers for them. HTC has now announced that they will release upgrades for Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2 users to 6.5. Thus, they are probably busy getting those drivers ready with the system. It'll be nice to see them integrate Manila into 6.5 themselves, also.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Small bug report:

Icons in the program tab seems to be too large, they come across as a little blurry, at least they're bigger than in Miri's rom and I cant remember them being blurry there.

Slots 2, 3 and 4 are locked and you need to go into the registry to unlock them. (see attached screenshot)

"Using a registry editor, go to: HKLM (local machine) - Software - HTC - Manila - Programlauncher. There you will find 24 directories for the 24 shortcut locations. The first 6 (i.e. numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have a value of 1 in the "read only" section. Change that to 0. Now you can go to the programs tab and erase those and then add the ones that you want in their place."

After you have added a new program to the list, there's a green background that seems a little miss aligned and too big, it goes away as soon as you click on it and start the program for the first time. (see attached screenshot)

Also, not sure if this is in the ROM or because of something I've changed but sometimes when the screen fades to 50% light, before it turns off completely, you cant get it to go back to 100% again without hitting the power button.

Otherwise I'm really happy with the ROM, its the fastest of the ones I've tried so far!

A small donation is on the way! (3FD38719WP4454320)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Ohh and I have no battery icon in the top row, anyone else have that problem? Usually when you tap the top row you can see how much battery you have left, I have to go into settings and power to do that now.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Got it!

If anyone else wants to change the backgound on all tabs, this program makes it super easy: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3273729&postcount=1

Simply by changing background on the settings tab, its assigned to all the tabs. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Thanks very much for the donation. I will add you to my beta testers list.

Yes I know there are a few that were locked but just did not write a registry for it. The programs tab is a modified 3rd party app. The problem with the new manila and 6.5 is the soft keys lock on all tabs once you use the program tab one time if using the old start menu. I think miris is 4 icons across so they are smaller. If I find a better app to replace this one I'm more than happy. This is also the reason for the offset background. It is not easy to change these things but I will look around to see if I can find the one Miri's using.

About the dim issue I don't have this.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Make sure you use the StockLike version or else it will change the background on all screens, including the TouchFlo settings screens like the Sound screen. (see attached screenshot)

If you only want to change the backgrounds on the tabs, use the StockLike version.

(sorry for hi-jacking the thread)

wow 24 hours using your rom and its runinng just perfect great job bobsbbq

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Would it be possible to remove Youtube and Facebook from the Internet tab? My reasoning is that Youtube is actually an application, you can put it in the programs tab if you want it, and if you're not interested in facebook you could place your own bookmark in its place.

Removing them is relatively simple, just edit "My Device:\Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal.xml" and remove the operator tags.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Yes it can be done, This version is almost finished and about ready to go to beta team, so not sure if I will get it in this version but if enough people want it I can remove it for sure in the next version. Lot's of new things fixed in this next version, more speed improvements etc. 21222 is much smoother. The 3 column start menu is the smoothest.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Nice! Looking forward to it :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mpf54:
Hope this means that you are going back to the 3 column. I did not really like the 4 column

Thank you for your great ROM, :)

but this rom was not smooth enought than previous verions:confused:

what do you think?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
I saw the original wallpaper here on the forums the other day when I was looking for cool wallpapers, do a search and you should find it.

If you want to change the background on all tabs I recomend http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3273729&postcount=1

But make sure you use the stockLike version, or else you'll change the backround on a lot more than just the tabs.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] OnlinePredator:
awesome rom! Thanks heaps Bobsbbq!

Been trying miri and daviduck but found this 10x more stable. Initially didn't like the theme but now love it. I have had no issues at all after almost a week of use. I have soft reset once which is nothing compared to when i was using Dutty's 3.4.

Only thing I dont' like is nothing to do with your rom, but win mo 6.5. I love S2U2 except it takes much longer to actually start ringing on my phone, so i thought the standard 6.5 lock screen would be sweet, but it actually takes longer to load up and start ringing than s2u2. Tested this on a fresh hard reset. Guess winmo just wasn't meant to have a unlock screen.....
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mhwlee:
Hi, Bobsbbq....1 week on your new rom and everything is GREAT and SMOOTH. One question, I am using the MicNeo's Taskbar on your new rom which I got from the Dutty's 3.3 cab, but realize the there is no signal bar showing during standby. But as soon as there is a phone call coming in or when I am dialing out, the signal bar will "re-appear " again.....Any registry you can suggest to help on this situation ?? Kindly advise and thank you in advance.

New v 4.0 ROMS, Premium online now. Lite and Standard uploading.

I made a good breakthrough in some memory management with the preloaded modules and some boot.rgu tweaks etc. Mem usage dropped from 48-49% with Titanium down to 36-37%, I even increased the cache and pagepool so the mem went up a little from 36-37% up to 42-43 but it seems lightning fast now and the SKtools benchmark is the highest I have ever seen on 6.5 and especially with a fully loaded ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] X5 E70:
Thanks for the great ROM:)

And RESPECT for your hard work :)

But want to ask you how to remove your wallpaper and to put original HTC Black?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
V4.0 is running great so far, its more responsive in my experience,´and the start menu is a lot smoother.

Only issue I have found so far is that weather information is no longer shown in the calendar view, which I think is a pretty cool feature :)

Anyone know of a cab to bring this back?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maati:
It's independent from the program used for rotation, it's just because there's no landscape version of the background cooked in, thus Manila looks ugly in landscape because the background is still portrait. That doesn't happen with the default Manila background from HTC.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
With a program for all backgrounds, there is a link posted here in this thread.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
There is a landscape background. Just make sure you have the EnableLandscape = true in manila reg and it will work. I think it is in the newer versions, if not you can add it.

hi i installed this rom buh realised when i start the phone the windows picture is graphicly messed up and in order to sort it i got to press the stand by button to switch off screen display n press agen to show display and thats when its ok. so please can you tel wat seems to be the issue on startup?? thanks

New version 4.1 Premium on first post. Only difference is the font problem in opera is fixed.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Make sure you have HSPL 1.56 installed on your device or SPL 2.5 I think. The new version of SPL in the ROM is 1.54 and if your device is the older 1.14 you will see screen color problems and or the phone will not turn on etc.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Not sure which settings you're refering to but I've set up regional settings correctly and I've set up my hometown in the weather tab, I can't think of anywhere else to specify where I live :)

So can I assume that the weather information is showing up in the calendar for you?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
What was the font problem? Worth upgrading from 4.0?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Ok, found the world clock settings in Manilla and it solved the problem, it's strange cause I can't remember having to change this before?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:

Well I finally have uploaded all new versions. I hope everyone will enjoy and I really appreciate the people who have donated and to the Beta testers for your testing and input.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] MajorGlory:
I'd really love to give this rom a go. The Other WM6.5 roms I've tried have left much to be desired, but then again so did the default rom.

Any chance of getting a mirror for this other than on rapidshare?

My ISP uses a transparent proxy, so chances of getting this of RS are zilch.

ROM6.5# ON MY HTC HD with Thai Win

Hi BOB,

Thanks you for your share your work on ROM of HD

I use your ROM for one week now on ROM6.5_HD_Lost_In_Asia_Standard_Manila_V2.1

It is fine for me, everything OK but the Radio ROM that come with your ROM have a weaker signal when compare Radio_1.13.25.24, So I changed it.

One thing I found on it, it is the alarm function is not work. After set time when it reach the voice of alarm is interupt by notification voice and stop.

Thank again and cheerful for your good work.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kieboy:
Yup I second that! I always wanted to have WM6.5 because of its 'look and feel' but I also needed a functional phone with manila's scheme. I tested other WM 6.5 ROM they were 'ok' but cannot maintain the manila & manila enhanced functions like the dialer, sms, etc all got bugs w/c is why some were just using the crappy WM look for those functions. Because of that, I had no choice but to give up 6.5. I was suggesting that time since Dutty's Manila was and still the most stable tweaked Manila out there, I was hoping they could collaborate Dutty's Manila with their WM6.5

But now, the wait is over. WM 6.5 with Dutty's Manila all in one! Simply the best of both worlds!

Well I have been adding more optimizations for the XIP thanks to ervius and I must say the results are great. 111 mb Free Program Memory I can't get it in the screenshot because the program I'm using takes up too much memory. New Version 4.2 Coming Soon.

Thanks much my friend, I'm pushing the memory for speed. Yes I had it down to 37% with all Topaz apps with Resproxy which is a big reduction from the 47% it was before. But this reduction allows me to push the system even harder now.

I will check Facebook, it was working fine for me last time I checked.

This version 16277 does not have zoom bar.

ICR not included
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] soulja85:
I've tried a few 6.5 ROMS and this is by far the best. It's very fast and responsive.

As for the facebook error posted above mine is working fine and not had 1 error. The only problem i had with this ROM is once the start menu glitched and i could only see half the icons. Other than that i've had no problems.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Celeborn_81:
Couldn't agree more, 4.0 is the best so far, very responsive!

I had no problem with the Facebook app either.
