I have this curious problem. After I uninstall a program, the shortcut is left in my menu (.lnk file). Having some experience with WM devices, I browsed to the \Windows\Start Menu folder, but the rogue .lnk files are not there. All the other shortcuts in my menu ARE there, so I am pretty sure I am looking at the right folder.

So next I used the search function and searched the entire device, both internal memory and the storage card, for the rogue .lnk files. Nada, zip, zilch.

However: the empty .lnk files STILL show up in my list of programs.

this has me stumped. Any help appreciated.
[S740, S743 General] ombre33:
Is the file in "recent programs" or "all programs"? if former, it'll eventually go away once it becomes the "10th most recent program used".

.-ombre-.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Yeah, that's what I think.

It's in the Recent Programs menu and so because the app is not there anymore a broken link exists.

If you use other things eventually it will disappear from there.
[S740, S743 General] nispen:
Now that you mention it, some of the older ones seem to have vanished over time ... mmmm So I guess that if I use a reg editor, I should be able to flush m out immediately. They do hang on for quite a while.

Thx for your reply.
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
If that is the case you dont need to do anything with reg editor. Just open some other apps randomly and the links will be gone for ever.
[S740, S743 General] Torque77:
Yep, that's exactly what I do. Some applications are uninstalled using a link from the All Programs and after the uninstall the link remains among the 9 recently used programs.
[S740, S743 General] nispen:
A bit late, but wanted to thank you guys. You gave me the cause and the solution! thx

The ROM currently installed is Snap v1.2

Thanks for you help in advance.

I just sorted it you have to flash your Phone with USPL 1.16.

1. Follow the instructions on : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=409721 to flash your phone with USPL 1.35 CID Bypass

2. While the phone is in the mode started from the above instructions, download Vox-USPL-RUU.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330909 and flash the USPL

3. Flash any rom as normal, thats how i got it to work.
[HTC Vox] lordao:
Followed the instructions, gets to 100% then reboots and says it is corrupted. Now i cant use the phone becuase of the time bomb, i have to keep doing a factory reset which is a real pain cause if i sync i get the thanks for using this beta and the phhne is un uasable. Not sure why it wont update.

Lordao

I think the issue lies with SDA application unlock not working correctly

Hello, last time i bought HTC Diamond. The problem is that i need align screen too often. Sometimes it can work properly very long time but sometimes i need align screen few times in 15 minutes. I don't have guarantee for this phone no more. Anybody know how to solve this issue? Thank you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Yess:
I have got the same problem; my htc diamond lost the calbration after few clicks. One member of this forum said that I have to change the digitizer

Have a look to my post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sucro:
no solution for this, buy new display, and chage it... You can find it on ebay and they will send you display and other tools which you need for replacing display...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kannan.Balasubramanian:
Yup I had the same problem and got the screen replaced. A lot of people have reported this.

If your phone is under warranty you can get the screen replaced for free.

I've just seen some of the videos that have been shot with the iPhone 3G S and I have to say.. it is amazingly smooth even in low light conditions, and I was wondering, why can't HTC phones be the same?

SO, I am asking, is it possible for someone to create a camera app that can record videos with a compression method that doesn't totally destroy quality?
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] FireBird4:
About a year ago poorlyduck made some nice welcome screens for 96 dpi 240x320 devices. These can be found here. I liked the first one very much but I have an Xperia, so I went back and made a very similar image from scratch at the required resolution.

Installation instructions: Use Total Commander or similar to copy the file named welcomehead.192.png into your device's Windows folder. It's probably also a good idea to back up the original in case you ever want to go back to it.

All credit for design to poorlyduck.

Feel free to add your version on it somewhere or resize for any WM device. I've added a 1600x1600 version in case WM ever gets on a device bigger than 800 pixels.

Enjoy!
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Mopral:
If you want to go back to the original, you just have to rename this one in the windows folder and restart your phone

Welcome...

==========================

| TheWebMachine's UltraStable ROM Series for Fuze |

|........ Built on WM 6.5 ........|

==========================

CURRENT VERSION: v1.13.23037

NEXT VERSION: v1.??.?????

THIS ROM IS FOR GSM DEVICES ONLY! DO

NOT

FLASH TO

NON

-GSM DEVICES!!!

(SPRINT, VERIZON, ALLTEL, TELUS, etc.)​

Introduction:

Having been lurking around these forums since my first HTC device a few years back (T-Mobile Dash), I've watched many great chefs produce great ROMs and thought to myself, "Damn, I wish I had time to do something like that." Well, I've recently decided to make time. In the coming days, I will be developing this thread in preparation for my first release. I urge you to subscribe to this thread and check back often as I will be posting updates of my progress and may also "reach out" for a little assistance while wading my way through my first solo release. (I'm not afraid to "Stop and ask for directions." ;))

Vision, Mission, Intentions:

My perpetual goal is to create and maintain one of the most STABLE WM6.5 ROMs available. I will be taking a different approach to cooking than most chefs...I will be releasing only major updates, that I deem fitting for release, resulting in VERY stable (but less frequently updated) ROMs. I intend to make as much of my ROMs "optional" components uninstallable (cab'd) as possible, so that YOU may easily customize it to your liking. This ROM is for those of you who are looking for a clean-cut, fast, stable, "business worthy" ROM with a steady and solid development path...think of it as "Stock: Reborn!"

READ ME!

My goal is to keep this thread as clean as possible. I don't like clutter. Use the FAQ AND THREAD SEARCH FUNCTION to see if your question has already been answered. Currently, the ROM is in early development...posting and asking when it will be ready isn't going to expedite the process in any way...and then I have to waste the time of a Mod to have your posts removed which, I can assure you, will greatly annoy all involved. Besides, that's certainly no way to make friends around here! Please keep the non-development related posts to a minimum. I don't need a post telling me you've downloaded my ROM, that's what polls are for. I hereby give the Mods who frequent this thread my 'permission' and blessing to delete any post that could be classified as "clutter." You have been warned!

First time flashing? (CLICK HERE!)

Cheers!

Known Issues | Wishlist

KNOWN ISSUES:

-v1.13.23037(d)-
* FingerKeyB cab included, but not installed by init config (long install). Cab
is in \Windows for your installing pleasure or download the EzInput SIP
from my downloads section.
* TitaniumWeather Chome plug-in doesn't appear to be working in this build
(at least, not the latest version I found).
* My previous hacks of the hardware button volume control no longer work
(since build 23028) can't find another workable bypass (even with S2U2).
I've included RaphKeyboardControl in hopes of manually remapping, no luck
so far. See Start>Settings>System>Keyboard Config.
* I only mention this because some people may believe it to be an issue... I
have disabled the default vertical scroll bar in GWE. This corrects a
number of crazy cosmetic issues with the dialer and other apps that take
exception to the larger bottom bar. I'll be posting a cab file to revert my
changes soon, if you really would rather see the ugly v-scrolls everywhere.
* I tried the Rhodium V1E package and have determined that something in
the package (not sure which part or parts just yet...leaning towards
SensorSDK and/or Album3.0) is causing HUGE issues. I do NOT recommend
using Rhodium on this build at this time.

WISHLIST:

( ) A very simple CE.exe that displays a button-less dialog with "Please wait..."
---PM me if you can help!---

( ) Moderation capabilities within my own thread, if possible. Anyone of rank
care to comment? :)

( ) A truly stable build of poutlook!!! All these WM6.5 builds seriously suck!

( ) More time in my day to work on the crap I really wanna work on...like this ROM!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
I've cleaned up the thread a bit.

The reason for TWM creating this thread prior to the ROM release is so that people can know what to expect from it upon release. For example, what OS build he will be using, what applications he will be including, what known issues exist, etc...

I've also edited the thread title for a little more clarity.

Thank you for your cooperation/understanding,

FAQ

FAQ:

Q. [B]My phone behaves weird upon flashing your ROM. I was running the
stock ROM or a radically different ROM from yours previously. What is wrong
with my phone?[/B]
A. [I]You need to perform a hard reset after flashing a new ROM. It is generally
recommended to do this when you reach the first alignment screen. This
eliminates those "ghost" flashing issues.[/I]

Q. [B]Can you run TF3d or TF3d2 on US-Core?[/B]
A. [I]US-Core is optimized to run Chome (Titanium). Since I will be releasing
US-TF3D a few days after each US-CORE release, you might as well wait for
the TF3D optimized versions to ensure everything works as intended.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] chapmeister:
leave it to NATF to come to the Rescue!!!

although, it would be interesting to see what TWM puts in this rom. Like the flashing whore that I am, you can bet I will flash it. looking forward to the release.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] corepda:
I am expecting some nice tweaks for optimum battery use, speed can be partially adjusted but not the power. TF3d 2 is must, some other dialer will go if no Tachi. But it should be power friendly. Take care. Cheers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
Priorities

Considering just how intensively I use my device, efficient power management will be a high-ranking priority in this ROM.

My objective will be to release both a CHome-only version (likely a "lite" ROM) and one with TF3d2 included (despite the fact that I prefer it over CHome, it is FAR more resource intensive)...I will also attempt to offer a specially built cab of TF3d2 for my lite ROMs designed to be as stable as possible for my builds. You must remember that the "Primary Directive" of this series is stability...so the TF3d2 ROMs will likely be built second, once the devs working on the Rhodium port fix a few bugs I find utterly annoying.

Here are my priorities:

STABILITY, STABILITY, STABILITY!

Performance

Efficient Power Management

I will attempt to find a happy medium between power and performance, but when that's not possible, I'll fall more on the side of performance for one key reason: If you get it done faster, you save time and (consequently) power. ;)

---

By the by, NATF stopped by because I had asked him to take a look and clean things up for me. His ROMs have always been my favorite and I trust his judgment. So this probably won't be the last time he steps in and works his Mod-ly magic around here...you all best behave yourselves; cuz NATF is watching you!!! :eek:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] edhaas:
Rom?

Hi,

I personally think you should hold off posting a rom until you've actually got a rom to post. ;) Otherwise its wasting everyone's time. Having said that, good luck with it. I hope its everything you hope it is.

Regards,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
The current "In Development" purpose of this thread is to discuss the up-coming ROM's development...where else would you have us discuss it? And how am I wasting your time? The titles says "In Development!" Doesn't anyone know what that means? It's the "instant, just add water" mentality of this country that has been irritating me most lately...no one wants to take the time necessary to do things right.

My ROM is obviously not targeted to you...so why bother posting here? You read my posts (and NATF's - A Mod), you chose to write a reply, you wasted your own time...and everyone else's. Thanks for your "help." :rolleyes:

{I invite any Mod reading this post to delete it and the preceding post quoted herein. (Reason: Rubbish) Thank you for your assistance.}
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] lukesky:
Just wondering.. if the ROM is all about stability, how bout a TF3D version instead of TF3D2? TF3D's definitely more stable right?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
Yes...I was considering including TF3d as an alternative until TF3d2 meets with my standards for inclusion.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sahiljain22:
My thoughts -

1. Make sure the ROM doesn't eat up much battery - this is a hidden killer. If I flash a ROM and it eats up my battery, I'll probably reflash soon and won't check the ROM out for a long long time.

2. Don't bundle apps that are easily installable.

3. Solve some basic issues that everyone wants - Raph has sucky fonts, a lot of things can be tweaked, right size of fonts, better notification windows etc. These are not big things but only a handful roms got the right balance (eg. the old ROMeOS)

4. Don't go for the goodiness - if you do, make sure there is a version without one. For example - for a lot of us, the TF3D2 stuff is not stable enough. Again, we don't want to flash our phones to chicks - we want it to really work well.

5. Overall, don't make it too personalized. Again, we know it's your own baby, but watch out for choices that would compromise over things a majority of end-users might want.

Again, here goes my rant, my respect for taking this up!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sammypwns:
I have to agree on the lack of customization on your part. Not to be rude but most of the themes and graphics I see on xda are really terrible. Big companies like HTC and M$ spend time and money to make their UI's useable (ok maybe not M$) and believe or not, a cut a paste job of some graffiti and unreadable, "stylish" fonts doesn't make the ROM cooler.

Also I know this isn't a wishlist but if you could not use a taskbar theme that would be very, very nice so users can choose their own.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] gmgonzal:
Wow, you have an attitude problem. I know you don't care, but after that tirade, the hell if I'll ever try your rom, much less send in a contribution. Is the 'just add water' mentality what's really wrong with this country or is it hot heads like you? Everyone's entitled to their opinion on this forum, so why should you decide whose is 'rubbish' and should be deleted? Try reading the forum rules when you get a chance. If I were NATF I'd be embarrassed by that outburst and I'd be reading you the riot act.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
Congrats guys!!! This will be the ROM for you! As you have been reading, I want my ROM to be modular. I will be releasing at least 3 flavors of the ROM. Ones with and without TF3D (original to start, Rhodium when sufficiently stable, preferably native or near-native VGA build)...these will both be very light ROMs...with only the apps that are OEM only and need to be cooked in (so long as they are STABLE and worth their "weight"); and a "Pre-config" build containing the collection of apps I use "in the field." This will be the ready-made "Business/IT-oriented" build I mentioned previously...and will come after the "Slim" builds are released. In fact, I think it's time to announce the expected progression of this series...what is coming first, second, etc.

*edits the News feed*

Stay tuned...I have a feeling you two will like what's to come... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] raystryker:
Looking forward!

I've been looking for and waiting for a 6.5 ROM like this, as I also do not have time to do my own cooking. Good Luck! And if you need someone to flash a shaky alpha build just to see if it works, sign me up!

Also, I will gladly pay you to include Napster To Go functionality. Most 6.5 chefs take it out, and im having a tremendous amount of difficulty finding the codecs and drivers manually.

Thanks again and good luck!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sahiljain22:
I thought I'd chip in some more killer ideas (joking, I end up tweaking most of these manually and often wonder why they aren't included) -

1. If there was a way to install the mp3 ringtone/alarm tweak and a sample mp3 included that I could use, that would be amazing. Windows sucks with it's 2 second sounds and gAlarm isn't worth for someone who needs a basic get-up alarm.

2. Make sure the GPS works well, I know this sucks for most good ROMs I have tried and works very well in native AT&T roms.

3. Have a good profile for NueCPL ClockSpeed inbuilt.

4. There is a Nokia font floating around that I think is awesome in terms of sleekness and style.

5. A good dialer is preferred, not needed. Have been trying Tachi out - it has some issues, but minor.

6. Turn off all those stupid WM notifications what I need to dismiss all day.

7. Have a lot of tweaks in AdvancedConfig, which can be turned off/on.

8. Include a good screen keyboard - the HTC is OK.

9. Make sure the in-call sound settings are alright (esp for some Da_G roms)

10. There is a hack to turn of the screen while in-call. Absolute must.

11. Right button-mapping is critical (esp for Camera and Task Manager I think)

12. Right sized menus are also very critical. Again look at ROMeOS

13. There is a reg tweak for the extra wide sensitivity for the close x somewhere. Must.

14. A good midlet manager - preferably one without font issues and which does not keep prompting to allow a internet connection

15. The right pagepool and power management settings.

Ahhh .. some of these are tweaks that I end up manually doing everytime I cook a ROM (I have attached my very-basic erv file which strips a lot of stuff for BT and WLAN). You may/maynot find it useful.

And in no way, feel that you have to include any of these tweaks. They are just my personal favs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TheWebMachine:
Yes, you are very much entitled to your opinion...as am I. Would your mother appreciate you making demands of her in her own kitchen? I am cooking my own ROM for my benefit, to do what I want with it. And because I believe in giving back, I am making my works available to the masses. People are welcome to make suggestions, share their opinions, and ask that I consider something...but when one begins making demands and declaring expectations of my project, when I've been clear about my intentions from the beginning, then THEY are being ignorant and disrespectful. There are a large number of ROMs from the Fuze, everything you could ever want...so there's no need to badger a new chef with demands. While I may be new to cooking my own ROMs; I'm not new to these forums, I'm not new to software development, and I'm not new to ignorant people.

For the record, I have not (and will not) ever ask or expect a contribution for this series...and whether or not you choose to use my ROM is entirely up to you. If not a single person uses my ROM, I will be at no loss...I would have documented my work one way or another. If someone likes my work, they are welcome to make a contribution to the community. If not, then I'm sure there's a ROM out there for them somewhere...but that's no reason to come in here and clutter my thread with a bunch of demands and expectations that I've already said aren't up to them...who does it benefit? No one. We just end up having unproductive conversations like these, which further clutter the thread with matters that have nothing to do with the ROM.

Be careful "defending" the good name of others, as you have no idea what NATF feels about it (neither do I, in all honesty). He obviously came in here and cleaned up the rubbish for me...and if he has something to say on the matter, I'm certain he will speak up as he sees fit.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] gguy1:
...

How is the release date looking? I'm having a hard time finding a Rom with good battery life, and stability. Can you please make sure there is a keyboard switcher in the Rom, sometimes new chefs forget a certain package and it makes it hard to find the right programs needed to get the keyboard working right, this is important for us frequent texters.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sharavan21:
+1

That's true
