I am writing this thread in the hopes that someone will build the perfect ROM. I have superficially compared two populars ROMs and hope someone combines them or teaches me how.

Comparison between:

Vanilla ROM (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Vanilla)[/COLOR] :cool:

&

Energy ROM (EnergyROM 1.0 052409 Excalibur)

:D

VANILLA-Font options for date & time panel

ENERGY-No option to modify font

VANILLA-Panels are opaque

A lot of pre-installed panels

ENERGY-Panel are glass clear

(Nice!)

VANILLA-No reboot option on power button

ENERGY-Nicer power button menu

VANILLA-Same available Memory (About 19-21megs)

ENERGY-Same available Memory (About 19-21megs)

VANILLA-Old standard start menu icons

(Though, when going over icon, image changes)

ENERGY-Very nice start menu icons

(static images)

VANILLA-Better Sim Manager

ENERGY-Limited, at best

VANILLA-3 Alarms (My Razr had a better alarm program)

ENERGY-2 Alarms (My Razr had a better alarm program)

VANILLA-Flash Player

ENERGY-No Flash Player(no biggie, easy to install)

VANILLA-Plays Mp4 with audio and video

WM Media Player ver 10.3 Build 19700

ENERGY-Does not

WM Media Player plays video, but not audio.

WM Media Player ver 10.3 Build 21048

TCPMP play audio and not video

VANILLA-Old HTC Audio Manager Version 1.02

ENERGY-Newer NICER Version 2.0

VANILLA-Audio Recorder, saves to phone or storage card

ENERGY-Audio Recorder, does not save to device or storage

VANILLA-Picture Viewer, but no HTC Album manager

(Bummer)

ENERGY-Picture Viewer and HTC Album manager

(Very nice addition)

VANILLA-Resco Explorer

ENERGY-Total Commander

VANILLA-Old standard volume indicator screen

ENERGY-Nice volume indicator screen

VANILLA-2 note pad programs

ENERGY-HTC Streaming Media ver 3.10h(yeah baby!)

VANILLA-Annoying jogger indicator on home screen

ENERGY-clean

VANILLA-Voice Command access's program, but doesn't run it, or dial the contact

ENERGY-Voice Command does both

After trying both of these I have decided that these are the best out of the bunch. Please help to build the ULTIMATE ROM.:D
[HTC Excalibur] skyler17:
I. Love. Energyrom.
[HTC Excalibur] yipcanjo:
I agree. The ENERGY ROM, while not perfect (yet), is really the best I've used. Great work!
[HTC Excalibur] funoffan:
No offense, but this threat is meaningless.

VANILLA24 is totally outdated.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Fist bit yes this is meaningless...... As there are not too many ROMs to flash them all and find the one you want and most of the cons on v.24 Vanilla can be sorted like panel and streaming media etc.

v.24 Vanilla is not outdated and still used by many people you can still tweak it a hell of alot and have a large device memory and pagepooled it works very well............. Yes it may not be fresh but then does that always matter?
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
That's funny! the thread might be meaningless, but coming from someone that's only posted in four threads total and probably haven't tried all the different roms, makes it even funnier :eek::cool:

It's ok Stylez , we know that v24 vanilla is not outdated :D, shoot , there's people still using the original Kavana 6.1 rom that wouldn't change it for anything else.

If my Pagepooled Vanilla rom with 24m ram and 20m rom storage and the high level of customization is outdated, then I guess I'm oldschool. :cool:
[HTC Excalibur] jarroyo:
Meaningless?

I would suggest that include the Rose ROM into the mix as well. There are some things that I would like to see in the Rose ROM from Energy ROM. The icons are really neat. I have used several of the roms put up on XDA and am, by no means, an expert.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Your what put the old into oldschool :D:cool:
[HTC Excalibur] Tritan88:
I have tried many of the ROM's myself over the last few months and I use the Vanilla rom still currently. The vanilla rom just happened to be the last one I flashed on my dash. The other ROM's have some nice things about them but at the same time there are things that I did not like at the same time. It really just boils down to your preference on features.
[HTC Excalibur] whombeartoe:
I have decided to start building my own...I don't really know how long it will take, but I'll eventually post it...
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Yeah... It IS outdated. But then again, the phone itself is outdated as hell too.. so...... it's a moot point I guess.

It's funny that the guy is comparing two ROMs made by me... LOL

****, if you guys REALLY want the best ROM for the Excalibur, I am willing to build it. Give me a list of all your wants and needs(along with files or cabs if possible) and I will build the ROM. That part is easy... Keeping tracking with what everybody wants is hard :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Gotta admit moot point and all depends on what side of the fence you stand & if your glass if half empty or half full? :D

Did you make Vanilla ROM (RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_Rickys_v24_Vanilla) ? lol
[HTC Excalibur] dhondi:
Voice Command is a favorite.
[HTC Excalibur] NRGZ28:
Ahh my bad.. for some reason I thought he was comparing to the Rose remade you guys did... :)
[HTC Excalibur] skaroger867:
if you build it they will come.

id be willing to test any rom. if you start with the energy rom (assuming you even want to do this, just amuse me here) can you add a working weather panel?
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
How about a new excalibur rom using the m2d homescreen with the best programs from the energy rom and the 6.1 kavana's/rickwyatt's/nrg's rose roms?

That would be awesome!:D Just throwing an idea out there.:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] xhackerx:
hey sorry that I'm a noob. I need to find the ROM that came with my Kaiser because the WM6.1 I installed messed up my keyboard. My keyboard's fn key is assinged differently now. Like before the fn+OK key turn on and off my wi-fi is now fn+OK=symbol. CAn someone help? I'll greatly appreciate it and +rep!:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] anagarika:
Do a look around, read the Kaiser Wiki (google: Kaiser Wiki).

At this point of time, you only need to hard reset .. info is available at Kaiser Wiki.

Perhaps you want to read my signature carefully to understand why I respond such. This is a development site, not a 'newbie training site'. Newbies are welcome, but extensive reading and passion is required. Otherwise, you might be better off with so many other forum available ... your question is easily answered by many, not needing the level of expertise here ..

Having said that, if you stick around and decided to grow with the community, perhaps one day you can be a chef on your own ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] f1ip:
If you just need the fix for the keyboard, you can download this.

Tilt keyboard fix

Stock roms.. plenty here
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] vengeance2009:
www.htc.com

Go to Support and download it there
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] newbietruly:
Did you have a Tilt and flash a cooked ROM onto it? If so, then follow the advice from f1ip.

Option1: Download the "Tilt keyboard fix" cab, install it, and reset. This should work.

Option 2: If that didn't work, then flash a new ROM, install "Tilt keyboard fix" cab, and reset. I'd recommend this ROM.

If you have trouble flashing, please read this before asking or else somebody will "yell" at you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] xhackerx:
no u c I have the officail TyTN II, it's the KAIS130 and I flashed it to the custom solace 3.1 and didn't like it so I found a TyTN II ROM wm 6.1 and flashed it on, but there are a lot of errors including the keyboard, my audio manager can't trim songs either
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bucketz:
you sound like a noob. audio manager doesn't trim songs...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] afn691:
I'm a newbee too but I read here that you flashed an incorrect ROM and have a non-adequate RADIO for the ROM you flashed.

Even when you flashed that new WM6.1 ROM you risked to BRICK your phone.

(That's because I'm a newbee too, because I'm not used to this world but I'll never try to risk without reading and learning)

Please, go to the Kaiser ROM forum and read ALL the "stickies", there you'll find the comments to what you did and the solutions you need.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:

Where do you get the WM 6.5 ROM for the Fuze? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rvt1000:
Just head over to the Raphael Rom Development section and there are tons of 6.5 ROMs to choose from....

of course, however, read the first sticky on flashing a rom in detail and do your research.

Officially, ATT is not purported to release a 6.5 for the fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Fuze1969A:
I have to recommend NRG’s Energy 3.0 Phoenix ROMs. I am running the 052209 version and he just released the 052809 update. I have found NRG’s ROMs to be FAST and VERY stable. If this is your first flash, this one might be the best to go with at first, hell it is the best what am I saying.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
I can also recommend RRE's rom, which is what I'm using. I haven't tried the other one, because I was too lazy to set up the connections over the weekend myself. The RRE rom is configured to work "out of the box" on the at&t network. Fast & stable. Haven't had one problem with it. When we have another "rainy day" and I can't get outside, I might screw around with some of the others. Give the 6.5 a try, it's (in my opinion) better than 6.1.

But, BE WARNED! The cooks almost always post an FAQ section on their respective rom section because they get tired of answer the same questions over and over and over again....who wouldn't, so, if you ask a newbie question, expect to be ignored or flamed.

give it a try, and have fun! :)

Hello,

FCWs 6.5 Home edition 8325,2gig

Long story involving a 5 year old.

Basically right now I can only fire up in sort of a limp mode; "low on memory" or no "permission". Probably due to scores of "FILE000x.chk" files on the device after using Pocket Mechanic Pro on microSD card.

1) It'll only reliably boots with a battery out/in technique.

2) Its "connected" to desk-top PC but as a "guest" and isn't "synced"

3) I can browse it through ActiveSync on the PC, but can't add, move or delete files due to "low memory" or "permissions" (same on the 8525)

4) A few programs won't run and are not recognized as "valid P-PC" apps, including the front end "home2"

5) Can't flash anything as SSPL ROM flasher gives "ERROR [224]: device not responding".

Started with a corrupt 2 gig microSD, couldn't write to it, ran Pocket Mechanic Pro. that Problem solved, this prob created.

Read all Wikis, searched error 224, reflashed about 15 times, know the ropes.

Any Ideas are greatly appreciated!

Regards, PK

Have you tried flashing the rom from the memory card, its the only thing that i can suggest i don't know much about broken hermes.

Hope this helps and that you find a fix :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Thanks for the reply Scott,

That was my next line of attack but I'm not clear yet on exactly how to do it (I'll find out).

My big problem is I can't add (or remove or even move) any files on the device either from File explorer on the phone or through. ActiveSync on the pc (I can look at them though...). I also dont have a card reader writer.

I think a lot of problems would go away if I could delete all the 200+ *.CHK files generated by Pocket mechanic pro. I think that where all my memory went.

I just found a way using delete feature in "RAR" ...6 down 200 odd to go. Antone know how to select multiple files?

Regards, PK

Regards, PK
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Now its in solitary

I managed to delete 219, *.chk files from the rom hoping to free up memory. I'ts still isolated, I cant add any files to it (like a ROM or utility) through activeSync. The warning is it "can't find the file or path." of the file. To flash a rom from I still get "error 224," don't recognize the device.

Tried to load the SD card with a rom through my camera, no luck, the camera says "cannot flash".

The OS still works in a limp mode, no phone, half the programs inaccessible and home2 no longer works.

Fun.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Scotty93:
Have you tried connecting the card to the computer and reformatting it from there you might then be able to flash another rom
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Thanks,

I don't have a card reader. The only thing I do have is a printer that accepts multiple card types and a camera that takes this card. So far I can't right to either.

Ya, theres a thread that tells how to flash from a card. Right now though its just of limits.

Thanks, PK

Edit: just got card reader.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Have SD Card with rom can't boot off it and install.

Hello all interested,

1) So I bought a card reader and as per 2 wikis, reformated my SD card fat32 and a single partition of about 190megs.

2) I copied just the "RUU_signed.nbh" file from my stripped ATT rom RAR file. (The wikis were a little unclear as they were apparently using different roms)

3) I installed this ROM directly from my PC to SD card through the card reader. And put the little SD card into the phone. ( I can only read not write anything though activesync as wiki implies. Problem?)*

4) As per wikis , hard booted with pen while holding power and OK keys.

5) All I get is the 4 striped screen with a IPL and SPL verbiage. NOT the "loading from SD card" as described in the wikis.

Help... anybody, PK

* Does loading the ROM through Active syn? I know it changes format of some files
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vijovame:
Did you rename the file RUU_singned.nbh to HERMIMG.NBH?;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Thanks alot for the reply,

I think you are the man! I did change the name but changed it to HERMI

N

G.NBH not HERMI

M

G.NBH. It seems to be flashing (slowly) right now.

If this works I owe you a BIG cerveza!

Regards, PK
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Vijovame,

You are definitely the man.

I flashed the plain Jane stripped ATT ROM but EVERYTHING WORKS! It syncs, the phone works, camera, etc, etc...Now I'm off to flash something interesting.

Thanks for making me re-read the .nbh name. (I've been trying to fix this about half the time I've owned it...my first smarphone)

All the best!!

PK
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Scotty93:
its good to hear that youve sorted it, theres a few roms out there at the moment so you may have to look around a bit and flash quite a few of them, the safest way is the card method but it is up to you.

Have fun with your hermes :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pk2:
Scotty,

Ironically I had already blindly flashed just about everything out there without a hitch. I finally settled on one. That's when all 'ell broke loose. Now I've got the stripped ATT on my flash drive ready to install anytime if I have to.

Thanks, PK
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Vengeance000:
For some reason TomTom7 is no longer finding any satellites after upgrading to EnergyRom 3.0, 052809 version. It worked previously, and both Google Maps and GPS Test are still able to see many satellites in only a few seconds. But TomTom is picking up nothing but the AGPS signal, which only updates every 5 seconds or so. Anyone have any fixes or settings to try to make it work again? Or should I revert back to the older rom that worked previously and just make due?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mariner:
I've had same issue...I found that it just doesn't show the constellation...if u just "trust" it and wait a few minutes it will catch your position and it will be able to navigate even tough it still doesn't show any sattelite...hope this helps
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Vengeance000:
Alrighty, maybe I'll take a long drive today and see if it picks up anything after awhile. It was working so great earlier in the week with the old rom, I'm mad I just didn't leave it alone.

It gets something even though there are no GPS satellites being picked up, but it only changes my position every few seconds, instead of a couple times a second like it was doing. I assumed this is the AGPS, but I'm not exactly sure what that does, so perhaps not.

But, thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rlblue:
Mine doesn't seem to show a signal anymore, but it does work. Like what was said, just give it a try and trust it. :)

Great back up, but doesn't work after Sprite

This is a great backup application. However I have this problem: After accidentally performing a Sprite backup, the PIM back up doesn't work. I can't delete the program and reinstalling it returns the same problem. Any help in gettin PIM backup to work again would be appreciated, Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] krizza:
Have you tried re-installing PIM backup? Or maybe install to storage card instead of to your device. I installed mine to my storage card and I just run it from my storage card and create a new backup file in my storage card when I use it. When installed on my storage card it doesn't appear in my "programs" tab (I'm using Showaco's "All Programs App") so I just click on the file for PIM Backup in my storage card files. Hope this is helpful.

Errata for a wrong registry entry

I made a mistake, wrote hklm as hkcu in

HKLM\ Software\ Microsoft\ Inbox\ Settings\ SmsNoSentMsg=0 (default)

I have got a trouble, after a hard reset and rewritten the registry followed to this thread, it did not work as before (it might be wrong because of the result of careless copy-paste operations. I am very sorry.. :o )

To avoid the double ringtone sounds, I always disable the SMSNoSentMsg (=1) when I need the Request Delivery Notification from provider.

So the correct registry is:

HKLM\ Software\ Microsoft\ Inbox\ Settings\ SMSNoSentMsg

0 = Enable the notification

1 = Disable

The Settings and SMSNoSentMsg must be created first.

Here some threads refer to this registry:

hey guys, skyfire just released V1.0 of their browser. There are a couple of upgrades made. I will test and get back. If you wanna download go to get.skyfire.com

prking.

ok tested it, rendering is a little better, zooming is way better, now two levels of zooming on touch screens, and zoom in and out with #3 and #1. now you can click without having to zoom in, and videos look a little better. so far so good!!! itd worth it!!

Im actually dissapointed. not much of an upgrade from the beta. still pixellated but as a flash enabled browser magnificent.

Besides, I didn't find it too intuitive either. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't find the tabs-function. They didn't use the stylus as good either. I'm just going to stick to Opera and Iris.

im pretty pleased with the beta. once the page renders, it looks good on my x1a. at least it can play most formats of video content. skyfire still has a place on my x1a, as so is opera mini, opera mobile and pie.

I don´t know what´s connection... but my friend had the same problem and he get his diamond to support and there the support just put another rom (Official) with a 1.93 hard spl and the g sensor turn on perfectly without hardware damage...

So...

the same problem in more then 3 diamonds (If I correct)... it isn´t a hardware damage...
