But Again/..

Lets look at it positively..

The ROM Makers can get a good amt of feedback.. and can make their ROMs close to perfection faster.. / like they will have feed of so many testers /

Plus we get a separate thread to praise the smallest detail that ROM makers spend so much time on..:D

Little bit of analytical angle to it..:|

ROM makers can also benifit at single source, I think..

I do not mean any offence to any of the programers in any way.., I respect all of them..

<And so should everybody .. who posts here !>

Budding programers can also see, what geek-techs prefer, whats liked more, and whats creating issues...

Also..

Some people who have some creativity, but are not so pro at programming, can also give some input here, and pool in together..

Constructive development..

So,

what say fellas?:)

< Personally I love the work on this forum, and so do people who read/post here, I guess..>

:? what is it?
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] derekwilkinson:
I've used many of the Vogue ROMs (In fact, I think there is only one I haven't really tested), and for pure speed/usability, I suggest NFSFan's. They have always seemed to just work best (and there is an update coming out soon) :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] berardi:
another vote for NSFAN, this thing is great... and winmo 6.5 is nice too. I dragged my feet but it's def worth it! Along with skyfire, feels like I have a new phone!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jadesse:
Using NFSFAN's VZW 1.15 ROM. None seem to be really fast as the phone still takes forever to fully boot.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] atoz350:
It only takes forever because you are using M2D. The 6.5 ROMs with Titanium boot much faster.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jmitr:
I wouldn't really think that's quite true.

NFSFAN's 6.5 ROMS include both Titanium and M2D.

That would be a question of wether 6.1 or 6.5 is faster, not Titanium or M2D. (operating system versus user interface)

For boot time I tested soft reseting V8 with Titanium, then M2D as the homepage. M2D was only about a second behind while TouchFlo loaded.

Speed while using??? I think both are fast.

As far as ROMS you have to compare apples to apples. Some bare bones ROMS may appear to be initially faster, but then load all your usual programs (TomTom, games,facebook, etc etc) and applications and you'll soon find NFSFAN's ROMS with optimizations run much faster.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Squishie:

[Touch Cruise 2 General] Sean09:
Thanks for the post. Any advice on a good GPS program? I also heard there was freeware that auto rotates your keyboard/screen from portrait -> landscape when turned, as currently the keyboard doesn't do landscape?
[Touch Cruise 2 General] torrentonly:
That's why I made it :). When i bought my first WM device Vox, this kind of topic helped me a lot. So I made it for Iolite too.

It depends, for what you want GPS. If for car navigation, you may use builtin TomTom and buy maps. For hiking is best Garmin with its Topo maps. For geocaching exists many free programs where you can add your own maps (just search for geocaching here).

With screen rotation there is one flaw. Manila2D didn't support landscape, so every time you exit to home screen, it turns back to portrait mode. And Iolite doesn't have G-Sensor, therefore it will not rotate automatically.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Dair:
Hey, nice list! I use lot of these too. I'd add three more apps for myself:

Advanced Config Tool - great utility for tweaking WM and HTC soft without need to edit registry manually (can handle some tweaks mentioned in 1st post like landscape mode, switching threaded SMS view, hiding SIM contacts etc)

GPS Cycle Computer - does what it says and more... Possibility to show a map image on background or to use OpenStreeMap tiles (read readme in installation folder). The best feature for me is the option to set the GPS run interval from "always on" to "run every 10 min" - great for power-savy logging my track and matching the GPS data with photos later.

Nitrogen player - very nice opensource touch-friendely music player (with sleep timer and - unlike the one from HTC - sensitive volume control)

EDIT: forgotten to mention that all of them are free ;)

Weather is broken

The N2A Weather Patcher killed the Weather applet on my Iolite.

Now all it says is , "Cannot get weather data for the selected city".

I can't select any other city or anything else, since the menus are disabled :(

Before patching I made a backup of my Manila2D.exe, wich I have allready restored.

But Weatheer still dossen't work :(

Any workaround to restore to original?
[Touch Cruise 2 General] torrentonly:
Qtek8020User: I modified original N2A patcher to patch manila2D.exe, because original version patched htchome.dll only. Here is procedure, how to do that.

1) On device, I copy Manila2D.exe to some other folder (eg. Storage Card)

2) Download it to computer via AS/WMDC

3) Keep one copy somewhere for backup, place another one into patcher folder in same place as place_manila_2d_exe_here.txt and run n2a-patcher.bat

4) Patcher will make N2A Patched Manila2D EXE.cab file, which you transfer to device.

5) Disable Manila2D via settings, install CAB and then enable Manila2D again.

At this moment, only thing which is changed in Manila2D.exe is http address of update server, nothing else. Therefore it must work for already present cities in list, when internet connection is available (via AS/WMDC, Wifi or GPRS/EDGE/etc.). I tried this by myself about five times, so this procedure works with no problem at all.

If you want to add some city, which is NOT in the list, you must do this:

1) On device, copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml from /windows folder on your device to some other folder (eg. Storage Card)

2) Download it to your computer via AS/WMDC. Make backup of that file.

3) Go to accuweather.com and find city you want to add. For example, I want to add city "hradec kralove" in "czech republic". I get this code

http://www.accuweather.com/world-index-forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&locCode=EUR|CZ|EZ002|HRADEC%20KRALOVE|&u=1

. Important part is "EUR|CZ|EZ002|HRADEC%20KRALOVE" (%20 means simple space).

4) Open HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml and add this line <city name="Your City Name, Country Abbreviation" loca="CodeYouGotFromAccuweather" land="Your Country"/>. For example

<city name="Hradec Kralove, CZ" loca="EUR|CZ|EZ002|HRADEC KRALOVE" land="Czech Republic"/>.

5) Save HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml as UTF-8. It is read-only by default, so make proper changes.

6) Transfer it back to your device, eg. to Storage Card. Then put it back to /Windows folder

7) Restart Manila2D and viola, your custom city is in list and will be properly updated.

For adding cities in HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml also exists some app, but I can't remember how it is called.

Great post, thank you!! Bat you mentioned about n2a-patcher.bat

file... Where I can find it? May be you can attach it to you post.

Thank you in advance,

Igor.

It is already attached in first post of this thread :).
[Touch Cruise 2 General] igor7:
OK! It's my bad... Thank you again!
[Touch Cruise 2 General] igor7:
Hi, torrentonly

I followed your method but it won't work. I assume that it something wrong within script... In tool folder unpatched.dll file doesn't exist. Here is output from n2a-patcher.bat (I did everything according to your instruction...)

If you have already patched Manila2D.exe, may be you can share it...
[Touch Cruise 2 General] torrentonly:
igor7: That's weird. I just tested it now and it works for me. From your log it looks like Manila2D.exe didn't copied into /tools/ subfolder. Did you extract ZIP archive correctly?

If yes, try to copy Manila2D.exe to /tools/ and rename it to unpatched.dll, so you wil have /tools/unpatched.dll. Then delete this lines from BAT file:

IF EXIST tools\unpatched.dll del tools\unpatched.dll
copy Manila2D.exe tools\unpatched.dll > NUL
IF EXIST *.cab del *.cab

, save it and run BAT again.

I can give you my patched Manila2D, but you might have different version and it can make you some troubles.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] igor7:
torrentonly: first of all big thanks for you help. I spend time on this, but it working now and I want share my experience.

1. In you first post on this page doesn't mention that Manila2D.exe should be copied into N2A-Patcher-Manila2D\tools folder and renamed to unpatched.exe, as you mentioned in your last post. By the same token it's not enough. By default Manila2D.exe have read only and system attributes, so no changes can be made to this file under this condition. Those attributes should be removed before running n2a-patcher.bat file, otherwise it not working.

2. And in additional, as you mentioned in your last post some lines should be removed from n2a-patcher.bat file. To be honest, I don't know how it works for you without doing this...

This line form script:

copy Manila2D.exe tools\unpatched.dll > NUL

can't work because it is impossible to copy file and rename it with same command "copy". In my case script return following error while it running:

Could Not Find C:\Documents and Settings\Igor\Desktop\N2A-Patcher-Manila2D\tools\unpatched.dll
The system cannot find the file specified.
Performing patch...

This happen even I copied Manila2D.exe into tools folder, renamed it to unpatched.dll, and removed read only and system attributes...

In the light of the aforesaid I did some corrections (improvments) to n2a-patcher.bat and now it works fine. I added the following to htchomeok session in this file:

:htchomeok
attrib -r -s Manila2D.exe
xcopy /h /k /f /v Manila2D.exe C:\N2A-Patcher-Manila2D\tools
attrib +r +s Manila2D.exe
cd C:\N2A-Patcher-Manila2D\tools
ren Manila2D.exe unpatched.dll

Now, to get it work you need to change a little procidure, in your first post in this page.

1. Download N2A-Patcher-Manila2D.zip file and extract it content to root of C drive on you computer. Should be like: C:\N2A-Patcher-Manila2D.

2. Copy Manila2D.exe from Windows folder of your device into C:\N2A-Patcher-Manila2D folder using Active Synch.

3. Run n2a-patcher.bat file. If everything is OK you should see script window like this:

Also I attached to this message new archive with corrected script.

Best regards,

Igor.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] torrentonly:
igor7: Nice finding *THUMBS UP*. On my laptop with Vista x86, I can copy and rename at the same time. Therefore script I attached is working for me. Maybe it is different for another OS like 2k, XP. Or maybe there are some problems with attributes.

You don't need to place Manila2D.exe into /tools/ folder and rename it. BAT file should make it automatically, but as I wrote, it might work different way on different OSs.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] igor7:
torrentonly: I tried to run n2a-patcher.bat from first thread in this forum on my laptop with Vista x86 and it doesn’t work... On Windows XP and Windows Vista bat files executed line by line. So if some line had errors script will not work.

Here what I did:

1 I downloaded N2A-Patcher-Manila2D.zip (1.23 MB, 66 views) and extract it on desktop of my laptop.

2. I copied Manila2D.exe from Iolite and place it into patcher folder in same place as "place_manila_2d_exe_here.txt". Then I executed n2a-patcher.bat. And...It not work! Here is screenshot:

I wrote all of this not for something... May be code in script, that you used is different from this one... It can confuse other people.

Hi Bukkie,

the problem is probably in your windows account. I had the same issue, SEUS only showed me "identifying" or something like that, but nothing else happened. So I searched the web and found the answer. You have to be logged on to "administrator" account. Not the account with administrator rights, but build-in windows ADMINISTRATOR account. Trust me, it's not the same :)

Here is the another topic with the same issue. You need to activate your build-in windows administrator account following these steps, then logon to this account and try SEUS again. It worked for me. After successful update, just deactivate administrator account.

Let us know if this helped you :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] munrobasher:
This is just a general question, but I'm sure the responsiveness of my Diamond 2 is getting worse. It sometimes takes ages to response to any kind of screen press.

Powering off and back on does make it more responsive.

Wearing my PC support hat, I'd say is seems to be suffering from lack of memory and therefore is thrashing the hard disk.

Does this analogy apply to Windows Mobile devices?

I've checked I've not got any programs running and usually there is nothing. However, the touch-flo applications aren't listed. I assume this is because they are all part of the main desktop shell?

Another observation is that the battery sometimes gets very hot. This is usually an indicator that the battery is being drained very fast. Another guess, but if there is a "bad" task in there, I assume it could drain the battery in this way and use up CPU?

I've got encryption turned on for the SD card. Does this impose a big overhead as I've tried to configure most programs to use the card when possible.

I'm about to back it up and try a cold reset as a test.

Cheers, Rob.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
"therefore is thrashing the hard disk"

no wm don't use virtual mem as flash is slow and have limited writes before it dies

"I've got encryption turned on for the SD card."

people should be very very very careful using encryption on sd cards only

if the data being remained hidden is much more important then the data itself

should one use it

have the device die on you and replaced with a new

or even changing the rom will result in the data on your sdcard

being lost forever
