changing QWERTY keyboard language

Hi GabbaGandalf, Zelendel

To change hardware keyboard language to German standard change registry value to this:

1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]

"CurLang "=dword:0407 (DEC)

and

2. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]

"CurLang "=dword:0407 (DEC)

Credits to rothod!

Zelendel, maybe it's an expedient action to put this into your great FAQ (thanks for your hard work).

The country specific IDs can be found here:

Shane.........you need to move on from v6.1 to v7, everytime I pull up the Rom Dev forum at quick glance I keep seeing v6.1 and keep thinking that you have a new 6.1 rom up, and get all excited , only to realize that it is crappy 6.5 again, that doesn't work with my favorite programs :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kovacszj:
TPC I forgot to ask. A couple of days ago posted about the echo (I heard myself) in call (last time I experienced this echo stuff while I was using Abu's ROM).

Is it possible that this echo was caused by a bad flash? (this was the first time I flashed the stock ROM before flashing V6)

Where

is Windows Media Player? Its not in your load...and why are the folders opaque instead of yellow..? How can i fix this
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
Thanks!! Added to the FAQ
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
not sure what caused it...but nobody else has said anything about it and i dont have any echos :confused: did you install any software that could have caused it? just guessing but if nobody else has the problem it almost has to be something youve done since flashing, or possibly your radio?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Orion110:
hang tight denco :D

once all the glitter and glammer of the "latest version" dies down people will realize that WM6.5 is to the PPC world what Windows ME was to the PC workd, fix one problem and another one craps up (just my opinion)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
@ Shane. Loaded up the test and running it now. Man It is fast!!!! Much thanks again
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kovacszj:
Thanks TPC for the quick respond. Well I don't think this caused by some software, because as I mentioned I experienced the same thing with Abu's ROM. Maybe I'll check his thread because some other guy experienced this problem, and they probably got the answer to cure this bug. Regarding the radio, I changed the radio couple of times while I used Abus' ROM but still heard myself in call.

Or another solution: I'll check out your latest V6.1 (wm 6.5:)) ROM but I really love your V5 ROM so maybe I'll still gonna use it :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] reddragon72:
shane, I have the same thing, not really an echo, but when I talk it sounds like I'm in a log and you can just hear yourself.

also SMS is giving me issues with the popup notification pausing the system for about 10sec.

And when streaming it seems like the connection gets dropped every 30sec, cause I get a buffering problem where media player will buffer then play then about 30sec later it will stop and not let media player buffer again it just sets there at buffering(0%). I think this is why the myphone application will not sync it gets to 60% or about 30sec of download time then lockup.

spl 3.34 and radio 1.70.18.02

flashed HTC Tilt rom then upgraded to SPL3.34 then the radio then flashed your rom.

please look into this cause this is a show stopper, other then that the ROM is great and I love the look and feel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] richabi:
hmmm shane, after reading this, yeah.. i sorta of notice that when I talk, it sounds a LITTLE tinny I would say. Like you are talking into a soup can with a string attached. It doesnt seem that bad but I havent really gave it much attention till just a moment ago. Or maybe it is just a pseudo effect that is only in my head after reading a few posts about it? haha! I will call some people on the way to the grocery store to verify.

the streaming could be true also. I noticed my pandora doesnt stream as solid as it did when I was testing your 23001 rom. with 21725, it does cut out about 25% of the time.

I must say, though. that 23001 test rom you had was AMAZING other than the X button not functioning properly in landscape. it acted as the up arrow on the slider bar. it just moved the page up.

that and the MMS was that newer version that didnt work. so if you fixed those two and whatever issues you may know of, 23001 FTW

could you please cook up a pretty rom like 6.1 for 23001? 6.2 anyone? who's hungry?

Manila weather file

What is the filename for the Manila weather cities file? I used to be that I could just dump the editied HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml into windows and my city would show up. That no longer works. Did I miss that change back somewhere?

Ray
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
thats the name of it, and you do drop it in windows should work. did you try after soft reset?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
Echo is usually a carrier issue

In my experience, the echo you hear is generally related to issues with your carrier. They may have sent your connection via a satellite link rather than a fiber link or some other land-based medium. It is not at all unusual for the delay to/from satellite to cause an echo.

Weather File for Manila

HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml

Yep. It works now! I don't know what was happening. I guess I missed too many Rom Flasher Anon (RFA) meetings!!

@zelendel: Could you add this info into the faq?

@TPC Thank you for a GREAT ROM! I think I will just hang on to 6.5 v.6.1 for a while. It is a bit more work to get everything back up to "normal" after every flash. Suggestion: Since this one seems pretty stable and no really bad bugs, why not let it be the RTM version for a while? If there are a few more fixes, just make them and call it v.8 to avoid the confusion with all the WM/Win versions of that series of numbers? Regardless, if we stablize on a single version for a while, we can do much easier/better support for all the issues that people have when they first flash it. Just my thoughts....

Ray
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
Will Add this to FAQ. Thanks

@Shane I am running the test you made and man it is great!! The only thing I noticed is that the X button does not close out the app just puts it in the back ground. Not a big thing just thought I would let you know.

Weather cities in manila

Actually, I did not give you enough info. First, I don't believe that the file is in the Windows folder of TPC's roms. I have attached the copy that I use. If the file *IS* there then one can just copy that file, edit it, and the overwrite the existing version with the edited version.

The instructions are available several places but they assume that the basic M2D executible is not patched (the one TPC uses *IS* patched). So I will adapt the instructions here:

For anyone desiring to add custom cities to the Manila Weather tab, here is how it is done.

1. Download & make a copy of the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml

2. Modify the file to include your info. See the examples below and/or just copy & modify some of the existing lines in the file:

Quote:

<city name="Idaho Falls, ID" loca="83406" land="United States"/>

<city name="Idaho Falls, ID, US" loca="NAM|US|ID|IDAHO-FALLS" land="United States"/>

3. Copy the (edited) HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml back to your device (your storage card or My Documents)

4. Disable TouchFlo in your Today Screen settings (I don't believe this is necessary)

5. Using TotalCommander copy the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file into the Windows folder (if the file already exists, just overwrite it.)

6. Do a soft reset

7. Go to the Weather tab and select the city that you added, refresh, & enjoy.

USB charging

Another (new to me) tidbit of battery info: The USB charge rate is about 350mA. But the AC adapter charge rate is around 800mA. So, if you are in a hurry to charge the battery, use the AC adapter & it will charge more than twice as fast!

(measurements take with Battery Guard)

how to customize titanium weather radar for your area

in v6.1 i updated the titanium weather to v4.2 which includes radar. i left out the urls because they are in my area so you can customize however you want. the information is stored in the registy, and you can edit it two ways.

1. open up radars in start menu/utilities and you will get an error, click ok on error and a screen will pop up. tap and hold your stylus on center of that screen and a menu will popup.....select change urls in that list. here you may type or copy/past your urls for your location.

2. edit the registry with your own custom urls. here is a sample of how to do it.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TitaniumWeather]
"usertime"=dword:00000000
"fupdate"=dword:00000001
"nextupdate"=dword:49E10390
"forceupdate"=dword:00000000
"Forecast"="Enabled"
"Links"="Enabled"
"Summary"="Enabled"
"Current"="Enabled"
"forecastdays"=dword:00000005
"Units"="F"
"Connect"=dword:00000001
"userauto"=dword:00000008
"ONtime"=dword:FFFFFFFF
"OFFtime"=dword:FFFFFFFF
"Code"="42071"
"Icons"="Spil"
"Radars"="Enabled"
"totalURL"=dword:00000006
[COLOR="Red"]"radar1"="http://bit.ly/myradar"
"radar4"="http://bit.ly/UZxgn"
"radar5"="http://weather.yahoo.com/images/east_cen_sat_440x297.jpg"
"radar6"="http://weather.yahoo.com/images/us_ec_9regradar_medium_usen.jpg"
"radar3"="http://i.imwx.com/web/radar/us_lex_closeradar_plus_usen.jpg"
"radar2"="http://i.imwx.com/images/maps/forecast/map_hitmpf_day1_3usec_enus_600x405.jpg"[/COLOR]

see in red the urls, you just need to copy/paste yours in place of mine and enter this all in registry.

where to get the urls for radar? you can go to yahoo weather or the weather channel and click on radars for your area, then right click on the radar picture itself and click on properties. in properties you will see the url of the pic, copy and paste that to a notepad this is your link. on weather channel they have some radars in flash, those will not work only ones with .jpg extention at end of link will work. also you can shorten your urls by going to http://bit.ly/ and following directions.

ps...those of you with wince cab mgr can import your reg settings into cab and run when you need it ;) is alot less time consuming :)

SIM PIN issue?

Shane,

Back to my SIM PIN issue. I've done some test (and quite tiring at that), hope you can take a look.

On TPC v.6.0, I loaded my apps, did my reg settings, etc. and the last reboot still has the SIM PIN working (i.e. stays put on screen). I decided I want to change a bit of M2D element, disabled M2D (and nothing for Today), and then wanted to try the SIM PIN. Rebooted the phone, and wham, the SIM PIN got bypassed by boot process (it went onto the blank Today, with the phone service unavailable)

No matter what I do subsequently won't bring it back.

So I decided to load v.6.1 Full. Went into install, config, everything works fine. Then after installing MS Office (SD version, got it somewhere on the forum, and previously never has issue), it requested for a restart. Did that, and the SIM PIN is gone again. I tried everything (removing startup items that doesn't come from ROM), still no good.

Now, I tried adding a startup item that calls for PhoneAgent.exe, still doesn't help. However, if I purposely make one false startup item (that will result in error during boot up, i.e. just put a dummy file/dir to be called but it doesn't exist), it'll prompt with error, and the SIM PIN stays! I don't know if this meant anything for you to look into. For time being, your V6.1 is working so well, I decided to leave with the error (I made) for the SIM PIN to work.

My latest finding at Athine's thread might be helpful too .. and based on Mbarvian's confirmation, the one working/not working comes from different device (Jade/Opal, forgot which one). You mentioned you use Topaz here, that might be the cause? IIRC, V5.1 doesn't use Topaz .. right?

I have to mention that your M2D is the only one (other than L26's TF3D) I tested (but I don't test that many, so it should be considered as indicative and not saying other ROMs doesn't work) that when an SMS gets in, just by viewing it on M2D (without pulling up the Messaging) for few seconds, it'll flag the SMS as read, and all notification/unread item got cleared! It's so convenient for daily use .. (even if the Notification still there and not filtered by Magicall)

I discussed this with b16b on his Athine, and he mentioned it's the M2D version. Your M2D version is removed from Setting tab .. can I know which is that?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] twopumpchump:
i have never used the sim pin so im lost there :( and is the same version of manilla i have always used, 2DManila"="1_00_19111733_00. its weird how it works though untill you do those things, will think about possibilities.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
I guess that's it. b16b's M2D is older (I recalled 18xxx).

Yeah, I'm on the minority that uses SIM PIN (cause my SIM is postpaid, so anyone accessing that can make unlimited calls anywhere :) ). At least it's a roadblock to prevent cost incurred if I lost the phone.

Thanks for looking at it ..

Hi Ray,

Thanks for your reply. Well I'm afraid the echo stuff is not related to issues with my carrier because I experienced it only with TPCs V6.0 and with all Abusalzas ROMs. My first cooked ROM was Sakajatis ROM, I started to use these ROMs since December 2007 and had no problem with them as well as with other TPCs ROMs (I got back to V5 it was the best I ever used). So I don't know, as I mentioned I should check Abus thread because not I was the only user who experienced this echo issue and maybe there is a cure for this.

23003 Test

Hi TPC, I've flashed my kaiser with 23003 and it is fast. I also like the fact that most of the applications and games are not included, so I am able to customize it with the apps I normally use. One thing I noticed though while setting it up was that there is no response when using the buttons of my bluetooth headset when controlling AudioManager or Media Player. I have an S9 and it has worked perfectly with previous releases of your ROM. Other than this minor problem, everything is great. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zelendel:
Hey Shane got a ? for you. Are you using an updated file explorer package? In the 23003 Zel version it seems like the the tree is larger or is it me. Man great rom by the way. Many thanks to you. Loving it. Once everything is said and done I still get around 63mb running point ui. and that is after loading all my programs.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Scott, just saw this and will try to help.

Try this trick:

Don't compress the backup file, that normally works.

Don't use self restoring (exe) format. However, to restore, you'll need to install Sprite itself first. Using exe means it'll include some executable so you can restore without installing Sprite.

Make sure your memory card is good. My SD keeps giving me problem ;)

Lastly, I rarely use this unless I have a very good & stable ROM .. and even rarer because Shane keeps pumping out new version that's good and stable! :D

Ray,

I've been a long time user of 1.70.19.09 and SPL 3.29 Hard2. Can you kindly test?
