[Wing, P4350 ROM development] beergenius:
Sorry for not getting back to you all. Had to go to work...someone has to keep San Antonio supplied with beer...lol. I will try reflashing using flash center. I did try that earlier this morning but says it needs to connect through activesync, but active sync does not recognize my phone. Forgot to also mention that i did flash to Ivan's 6.5 Rom but wanted to try the Ava Rom that is when issue started. I will try again. Thank you all for your help. Scott
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Well you might not notice it connect, but it will probably connect fine.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] beergenius:
Ok. Tried to re-flash using flash center but active sync will not connect and flash center just sits ant first step.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] beergenius:
Not sure what you mean by "next button".

This is what Flash Center says" Please make sure Activesync is enabled(green icon in system tray) and hit enter to start...." Phone is connected to computer but activesync icon is grey. I hit enter anyway and it just says "Step 1/3....". There is no next button
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
oh ok, you're still on the command prompt (black screen). Just let it load, I think. I forget those steps.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] beergenius:
it's been 20 min. and it's still sitting there. Do I need to do gold card method? I hope not because that looks confusing...lol. Thank you for helping by the way. Scott
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] beergenius:
Yay!! I fixed it. I was able to put the stock t-mobile rom back on the phone. Thank you guys for all your help. Now I will try to put the 6.1 Rom on there or the 6.5. This time I will make sure all is correct before I proceed. Again thanks for all your help. Scott
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Why did you put the stock ROM on there? That makes no sense. Especially since you're gonna be flashing another ROM already.

You just had to flash a new custom ROM, no need to revert to T-Mobile. And you must have been doing something wrong if you couldn't flash the ROM's.

oh, and, lol, I guess XDA didn't deliver the e-mail notification, cuz I never read that you were sitting there for 20 minutes, lol. Whatever, you got something working.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] beergenius:
Dude I was just trying to get the phone working again....lol.I tried reflashing both 6.1 and 6.5 roms first with no results. Now I'll try another rom later. Now for another Oskar Blues. Thanks again. Scott
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] dcmetrodude:
I noticed that the battery is draining more rapidly than the stock t-mobile rom. Is it just me? I love this rom but don't want to charge the phone twice a day. Any tips? Thanks much.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] toadlife:
That's probably Manilla2D draining your battery. It's pretty CPU and screen intensive.

With a non-mailla ROM, my phone would have about 75%-80% battery left after the day was over. With this ROM my phone would have about 60% left after the day.

Are fiddling around with it a lot? Operating the touch-flo interface is very draining to the battery, and I remember my battery running out VERY quickly when I first started using it because I would fiddle around with it constantly. Once the novelty of having touch-flo wore off and I stopped fiddling with it, my battery lasted much longer.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] toadlife:
Glad you got it working. :) I would have felt really bad if it was my ROM that did your phone in!

Have a virtual beer on me!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] dcmetrodude:
You are absolutely right. I've been fiddling with it a lot. Also, I felt wifi was draining it faster than before. Now I've stopped fiddling and like you said, it is fine. Thanks again.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] dcmetrodude:
The notification LED is not working anymore. In the stock rom, the orange LED would flash if there was a missed call/voice mail/new text/email. If there a way to get that back? That was a very convenient visual notification. Thanks.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Start -> Settings -> Sounds & Notifications.

Right tab. Set it how you like.

Other Dialer

Great work, very smooth and clean Rom. I just don't like the dialer (no smart dialing etc). Does somebody know where I can get the dialer as used by PDAVIET. On his website its called Opal Phone Canvas but I don't seem to find a place where I can download it.

Thanks!

clock from analog to digital?

One last newbie question - how do you change the clock on the home screen (touchflo) from analog to Digital. I tried to go into advance settings/more settings/touch flo 3D and it keeps giving me an error message. TIA.

You've gotta sign up to download the attachment. But Idk if it'll work, since you already have a version installed.

Idk. I never tried that.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
This is TouchFlo2D not 3D. For the other clock just use a different skin.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
LOL. I was hoping he just made a typo.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] dcmetrodude:
I figured it out. See below. We just need to apply a Manilla 2D theme. I just did, disabled analog clock in M2DC and now it looks awesome. Thanks for this ROM.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] virgilkx:
First of all, I just want to say I love this ROM. I think it's very clean and works fairly well. However, I am having a few problems with the text messaging interface.

One, if I have the phone flipped and go to look at my messages through the "all messages" tab, and then revert back to the main screen, the phone's screen will display as if the screen is not flipped 90 degrees, when it should be.

Two, I have troubles with the phone in making the new messages notifications go away. Sometimes, I will check a message, look at it in the "all messages" tab, close out of it, and the phone will tell me on the screen that I still have a new message. It can also do this even when I send a text message out.

I'm sure I'm being nit picky, but I'd like to see if I could get these fixed on my end if possible. Thanks for any help you can give!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
That's Manila 2D for you. Doesn't work in landscape.

If you view your TXT messages from the Manila (homescreen) interface, that won't mark them as read. Blame HTC for that. Just read the notifications with the old pop-up bubble, and then click Save as Read. That's the best solution.

And the issue when replying to a TXT message, and it's not marked as read, well, that's Windows Mobile 6.1 to blame. Best solution is to use your D-Pad, scroll up through your unread messsages within the thread, which marks them as read.

None of those can be fixed, sorry. And, this ROM's development has been stopped. The creator's phone died. But, you'll find lots of the same errors on any other ROM.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] virgilkx:
Yeah, I was worried about that. Oh well! Thanks for the reply!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] El_Matthews:
Thanks for the link, I registered to the site but I didn't find any attachment/download link.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] El_Matthews:
Maybe it has something to do with:

Until Further Notice.We will not be accepting any new members in the private section.All other area's will be available to you.That's including the support section.

Thank you for your understanding !! Forum Staff

Any other place to download it or maybe possible to upload it to XDA?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
You haev to wait, I guess. I haven't downloaded or registered for that forum, either.

You can try searching around for Opal Phone Canvas, see if you can find any other posts.

Keyboard Lay-out

It seems that the keyboard lay-out is in English US, does anybody know how to change that to the UK one?

I found a lot of fixes for non english keyboards but never for the UK one.

yo i'm trying to flash this but idk how to flash a lzx file!
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] toadlife:
Flash it the same as any other ROM, with flashcenter.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] brooklyjn:
do anyone know how to make the audio boster work. cause idk how to
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] coolndnguy:
yea i tried to do that..i took out my old nbh file and replaced it with yours..then i ran update utility but it said it isnt recognizing the lzx file
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] toadlife:
I don't think it works with the Wing's audio hardware. I put it in the ROM not knowing whether it worked or not.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ace10134:
Use the How To Guide for flashing instructions. For flashing LZX you need to use the HardSPL method.

last realise:

thank you:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] wapvirus:
I think the theme is different so the bars changed mine are transparent in 21501 and still in 23004 still using same theme :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] WhatzinyourphonE:
i wish they would bring that back. I dont like that they changed that. Thats what made 6.5 cool in the begining now its just back to looking like crapy 6.1 taskbars. MS is something else.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Try replacing the Topbar & Softkeybar images used by the theme. Make fully transparent blank png's to replace them. Normally they are just black squares.

they are found in the \Windows Directory. The default skin uses either classicblue_*.png or black_*.png (* = softkeybar or taskbar).
[Windows Mobile Themes] WhatzinyourphonE:
Exactly what i was thinking. Im trying that right now. Hope it works!
[Windows Mobile Themes] da_gluck:
is it works?
[Windows Mobile Themes] emmeborn:
Does it work? I cannot create the png's at the moment, but will try it as soon as I can.
[Windows Mobile Themes] elequent:
It works. U just need to replace the black_softkeybar.png and black_taskbar.png to transparent, then in the classblue theme it will work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gioiellino:
can samebody upload a transparent png?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] tito12:
Here you are :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] WhatzinyourphonE:
For some reason its not letting me overwrite the current files.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Use Total Commander, if it don't work then you'll have to make a new .tsk theme for it.

Also, make sure your current active theme isn't using those images. Maybe it locks those files when a them is active.
[Windows Mobile Themes] -gb-:
Hi! got the latest Onyx ROM ... but I don't know which files have to be replaced or made transparent or so.

Or could someone make a very simple black or blue theme with transparent bars on top and bottom?

-gb-
[Windows Mobile Themes] WhatzinyourphonE:
Thats a possibility. I used totol commander and I think it override. I was using resco explorer and it wouldnt let me. Hmm?
[Windows Mobile Themes] knox203:
I'm using NRG's EnergyROM v3 for the Raphael and cannot seem to get this to work. I replaced both "classicblue_*.png" and "black_*.png" (replacing the asterisks with taskbar / softkeybar respectively). The bars stay black, but seems like they change when I click the Start menu. Anyone have any ideas of what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] wg5566:
That is for QVGA?
[Windows Mobile Themes] WhatzinyourphonE:
same here, replaced them but the bars stay black when i enter a program. Im using a older build, build 21234. Which still kind of has the transparent bars anything higher than that doesnt. So maybe its based on the builds. Cause MS is taking alot of cool things out, sadly.
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
This should work for all resolutions. As for bars staying black inside a program, that's going to happen as only CHome parts of WM 6.5 can be fully transparent, Anywhere else you'll see the color registrys behind the bars. If replacing those images don't change Today/Start/etc than your theme is using different images. For example my theme's have DragonWorld_(Theme_Name)_(Bar name).png. To find the images being used, check the following Registry.

HKCU:\Software\microsoft\Today

TaskBar Directory = TaskBarThemeImage = (IMAGE)

SoftkeyBar Directory = SoftKeyBarThemeImage = (IMAGE)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gioiellino:
I tried, renamed, replaced, but Dont work, the bar was semitransparent!!!!!!

is possible delete the bars in some applications, as Dialer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No, deleting the images will cause the old 6.1 Taskbar to show up transparent. Only the screen that have semi-tranparent images will this work on. If a program shows a solid bar, it always will. The app is not made for the new 6.5 bars. The image replacement should work for all screen that normally have Semi-Transparent bars though. people have already said using full clear images work. Make sure your images are in fact clear.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gioiellino:
I used the images posted, rename with my tsk in use and reset. but it dont change

can you post here your transparents png?
[Windows Mobile Themes] optiknerv:
Did it the way of changing the registry yesterday. No change. I know changing the registry can change the taskbar because i used to use the verawang red theme but i used to change to the black taskbar and softkeybar by editing the registry in this way. bit miffed. :confused::confused::confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I don't have the images. I'm not interested in this, just giving any info I can. I believe you need to change the filename to match your registry NOT the other way around, but could be wrong.
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheRem:
after trying the suggestions above, still no success (in fact: it became darker!)... how can we really make it TOTALLY transparent?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xuandung11a2:
Thanks:):)Very good:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheRem:
i can't find what's controlling the opacity of the taskbar and softkeybar (dll?, registry? WTH!), and it's really frustrating!

so i ended up doing a simple trick... ;)

_taskbar.png

mywallpaper.jpg

_softkeybar.png

TADAH!!! TOTALLY transparent! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Aussi:
Thx for the files :D

I got my taskbar and softkeybar fully transparant

I only needed to find the right files with the right theme and then replace them

So I didnt copy a piece of my wallpaper and used that

There's was being something metion about it would get semi-transparant but not with me

Edit:

After changing wallpaper they turned out to be black :P

Sorry for giving anyone false hope

it doesnt matter for me cause I use black wallpapers

THE BEST WAY IS MENTIONED ABOVE :)

this thread needs to be moved. this is android not wm 6.5
[Windows Mobile Themes] TheRem:
Android? are you sure?
[Windows Mobile Themes] lioryte:
Once you choose no items the theme go back to WM 6.1 and so the panels are loosing their opacity and it get messed up. it's a THEME not a taskbar/background.

Ok im just reading things about android and this community. Im a user of windows mobile since 7 years ago and all windows enviroments more than that and know nothing about java and not trying to light fire on this here but i would really wanted to know what advantages can bring this new OS to the WM user. The hardware seems the same but i mean as there are so meny people here that came from WM i want to hear from them ....Why do they made the switch?

I have read about the multitouch and capacitive screen but what about, community support, apps, customization, overall feel as a phone and perpectives of the platform, issues to resolve......you name it.

Thanks in advance for your anwers

In short, just great. I Have been on tytn II, Diamond, Xperia - and im now on the HTC Magic. I feared i would miss the keyboard, but dont really, and the OS - it's just great.

No more waiting for screens to update, no more strange windows errors, all in all, im not looking back.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] itchyfeet:
same as above. Absolutely loved my Kaiser and Dell X50 before that but love my new Android phone even more. I think the transition was even easier as I'm a big user of Google products (search, calendar, email, contacts) anyway.

me too love it :) had a htc touch and htc diamond before this! love the android now!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chicochico:
hows the overall responsiveness comparing it to WM?

is it true that we need the cloud (gmail etc) to be able to sync? what about outlook sync? its there support for office docs?... seems that is as upgradable cause i have saw many ROMs here..........thanx for the above answer :)

another: having a data plan is mandatory to use the phone?

The interface on the OS is dramatically better, but when it comes down to getting work done WinMo is technically more capable in a lot of ways. I prefer Android because it's just flat out more fun to use, but if you need to get serious work done with your phone then definitely do your homework before making the switch.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chicochico:
Mmm... ive been thinking yeah. thats why im asking :)

As you said the interface its just amaizing even to wm6.5 imo and interaccion with big capacitive screen is a plus indeed. but still havent got the gist...ill do more reading thanks as is going to be a major step and think to buy a phone for at least 1-2 years.

still open to others opinions.

I Started my PDA life on a Moto Q, then a Excalibur, Wizard, Kaiser, Diamond & Then to a Blackberry Curve (dont hate me it was only a couple weeks) & now on a g1 while waiting for my MyTouch 3G to arrive..

I Can tell you that basically everything is smoother & faster. Even when compared to TouchFlo the android interfact is easier & faster to access what I Want when I Want it then WinMo
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hotas:
I'm on WinMo for years, see my signature. I would say I'm a Power User with deep knowledge of WinMo. Switching to the Android powered HTC Magic was easy.

- The usability is much better, capactive screen is incredibly good (the resistive screen on the WinMo devices made me sick as I'm rather use fingers than the stylus)

- customizations + extensions through Android market are pretty good (Nitrodesk's Touchdown gives me the one major feature that I was missing on Android here in Europe: Exchange Sync)

- I'm missing nothing else from WinMo (compare the time MS had time to develop and enhance WinMo and the time Android devices are on the market), not even the very detailed settings options which seem to be good for Power Users, they are just unnecessary in the end.

-It is easy for developers to create and deliver applications

It is strange that MS as one of the pioneers in this market became just a "slow follower" and did not manage to turn the corner. It is the same as with the Iphone: even the first version is almost as good as WinMo, what about version 2.0 and 3.0...? Usability counts.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] anheuer:
All i can say is..

Had the Touch, Diamond, Xperia...

Play with more because of my job....

But Android is a breath of fresh air..

Nice integration, nice looks, response nice, love the market... i,m happy i switched.

Only thing i miss a little bit is messing with some settings and registry...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hotas:
I totally agree, except with this:

"The problem windows faces with it's OS is that winmo is well understood. It's tried, tested, and true to it's followers. If they suddenly revolutionized the whole thing, people would get pretty angry. A lot of people who own winmo phones, own them for their business and development needs. These aren't the kind of people who want to **** around with sudden change to their previously solid operating system."

At least for me, as a WinMo "Power End User" (private and in business) it was easy to switch. I think that a) the number of true hardcore business users is too small for WinMo to survive and b) Android will very soon provide the missing features and capabilities to those users. Let's face it: there are only a few things missing for company use like (native) Microsoft Exchange Sync and this is already available in some countries and will IMHO soon be available for all. MS Office support is next that will come I think. 3rd party software is already there. We will see...
