This was always going to be the case. People always leave when something ain't right instead of sticking with it and helping to find the solution. Its left to the minority to resolve the issue
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
No worries mate. Relax and get better soon. A number of issues have already been resolved including sms. Just take your time and read over thread when your better ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
not for me.

the problem is not about not being able to send SMS (I can send if I can have the messaging app show up), the problem is the messaging app can crash easily.

I'm curious why nobody else (in R7) did not experience instability in the sms app, for me it will work well after a soft reset, but it's unpredicatble when it'll hang. this applies whether I have restore the messages or not (I have hard reset 4 times just to be sure)

Appointment

With R7 i see the appointment 1 hour before...

I set an appointment at 15:00 on outlook, on HD i see it at 14:00
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
dutty, I think R7 should give us a taste of what manila 2.5 has to offer, but if HTC doesn't fix manila bugs, I don't think it's best use of your time to work on 2.5 since it'll be remain buggy.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Since I settled with not changing my timezone or home city, R7 seems somewhat happy. My applications run normally. I will shortly be going out so I'll give R7 a field test as well.

I'm compiling a list of bugs for R7 as well as solutions if found, I'll probably post them tonight. Apart from that one serious bug I have with timezones & home city, R7 performed better than I expected, thanks to Dutty.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I've no issues personally with sms, no hang ups or anything. I know others have mentioned it being unstable and others are trying to use 3rd party app such as Vito SMS Chat unsuccessfully. I don't use any 3rd party apps for sms and have yet to experience any crashes, hang ups etc
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vinumsv:
Sorry my stupid Question :(

Is Jave avaiable with R7 because i saw it in Dutty list of apps but not in my Phone

when i try to install Opera Mini its says no program to open the file ..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
neither did I use any third party software. I hard reset to nothing just to test the stability of the sms app, but unfortunately for me it was bad. maybe it's a bad flash, I don't know.

how long have ur HD been up since the last soft reset?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Would agree with everything you said. All applications run normally and have no real issues as of yet
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I hard reset twice after flashing and resetted HD after installation of a number of apps etc. Since then I haven't had to reset device and its been 24hrs+. Obviously 6hr window for sleep

EDIT

I'm intending a number of tests later on certain apps I'm testing for people so will most likely be doing some resetting
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fuzzywerewolf:
have found R7 suprisingly good not had any trouble with SMS or alarms G-Alarm working fine. Have had no freezing at all or need to hard reset the phone. :)

Just did a search through this thread and xda forum and could not find Collpase chaos. Kinda got addicted to it on R6. Does anyone have a .cab or .exe for it. Will continue my search on Google and edit this post if found and attach for everyone.

Start Menu Icons Text Not Centered !

hi dutty xD

i love your R-series rom's, am using R6 now because i dont really like the new manila.

the rom is perfect except for one thing,, the text under the start-menu icons is NOT centered...(Rom R5, R6, and R7) could you take a look and fix that please?

Huge thanks :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bill340:
This does not work for me!

I still get the "Invalid recipients" message.

Only if entering the phone-numbers manually, (or removing the "(" and ")" of the number manually) sms sending works! :(

What I really miss in R7:

- Possibility to edit the 2 lower soft-keys on the manila home-tab.

- Add the programs tab in manila.

Any solutions for that?

Hotmail Sync Folders

Apologies if this has been raised - did quite a few searches that came up blank..

Having problems with Windows Live Hotmail & Contacts sync:

1. By default WL Hotmail inbox syncs - however can't find the folders control to select other folders to sync.

2. I'm pretty sure that Windows Live contacts aren't syncing.

Anyone else noticed these windows live problems - anyone with any fixes?

Messaging seems to be fine for me Dutty, just takes a little while to get used to the new interface that's all.

Speedbooster sadly doesn't work (just hangs), but clean ram 1.3.9 works fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheNose:
Dutty are you planning on releasing a winmo 6.5 ROM WITHOUT manilla? I like the Titanium interface better, it's simpler and faster, just the way I like it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:

Starting the same video from the same location using File explorer works fine. Starting from Manila picture tab gives that error.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Personally I agree. If a sacrifice needs to be made, I'd rather have all the other features working perfectly. But then it's a democracy and what Dutty says goes :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Theme related problem

There's another problem with the default theme. When you scroll down to the end of the list using file explorer, you can only see a small part of the last line. Changing to a different theme fixes the issue.

World Clock

Dutty, the World Clock is still messed up. I live in Phoenix and I added Los Angeles and right now both are on the same time zone, but the World Clock has LA 5 hours behind us.

Also, it has New York as the same time as LA.

In your wm6.1-3.9xt version it worked, but not in wm6.5 R4 and R5.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Pandemoniumone:
Right, I wasn't using the file explorer, I was using the Manila picture tab.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
You are right. Starting from Manila Albums, if the video is in a different directory, it works. So the only time it has this problem is if you start from the Manila tab and the video is in the default camera directory.

Only thing which is really annloying, besides that the "notes" do net get synced with my outlook:

After disconnecting a bluetooth headset, there is the message again:

"Your Bluetooth headset has disconnected. Please place the phone to your ear."

Dutty, is there any registry-setting to turn that off?

By the way: I found that this theme works really good with that rom:

Thanks dutty, for all your work! I think we wil get a really amazing WM6.5 rom here...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mpf54:
Just found the fix for this. This registry value needs to be changed

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path".

Change the default value from "\Windows\SDDialer.exe" to "\Windows\VoiceCMD.exe".

Now you should be able to activate Micrsoft Voice Command by pressing the connect button on your bluetooth headset.

Hi Dutty

Small bug in R6 so if it can be fixed for R8

Hotmail sync will only work on 3G connection, it will not use the Wifi connection, so it always has to connect through the network even though you have internet connection on the wifi.

Album rotation performance bug.

Hello Dutty and thank you for a great set of rom's over the last year. I am currently using the R6 version, tried R7, but too buggy, and new manilla Isn't great yet anyway.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before in this thread, but in R6 i noticed that you have enabled rotation in the album. This is really not usefull anymore because album defaults to landscape viewing anyway, and I don't see the point in browsing the thumbnails in landscape.

So what this induces is when browsing the pictures in fullscreen,when held upright the performance is great, but its not usefull since the pictures are horisontal. When held in landscape the sensors "rotate" and activate landscape in the background, and the effect is a huge performance hit because of the poor landscape performance in the drivers. So the workaround would be to disable rotation in landscape for the album application. At least I wont miss browsing thumbnails in landscape over great performance when viewing in fullscreen :)

Great if you fix this in the future, but does anybody know where the registry settings for application rotation is? So that I can fix it for R6? :)

You can fix this with any standard wm6.5 roms by easily editing the StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_800x480 in the windows folder however these files are now redundent since dutty is using tom's extended menu utility so all we need to know where is the file that this utilty is using for start menu?

yes it is :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
I second your experience. I find messaging rather unstable in R7, crashes a few times within an hour of use. Vito SMS Chat doesn't work, so I am referring to SMS from Manila.

If it matters, I restored my old sms from backup, and everytime I go into each SMS thread, it seems to start "retrieving" all past sms for the person, but when I exit and go back to the same thread again, it start to do the same thing all over again, and sometimes it crashes here. Also, under ALL MESSAGE, it was empty even though I have restored SMS from backup.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rlatarche:
I've hit a small bug, just trying to reproduce it again, when I was on windows lock screen - i recieved a text and the phone would not stop vibrating, I had to restart the phone, i did it a second time, so i've now turned off the vibrate when recieveing a text msg and that seems to have worked. Anybody else experience this?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
Again, a great ROM. I like the new functions but has everybody a list of all changes in Manila 2.5?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
hmmm, no comment...LOL
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Clem-le-long:
Thanks a lot Fallen Spartan !!!

So, unfortunately there is no "Action" button included by Dutty in this exciting Rom. Don't you feel annoying to go to connection manager every time you want to enable Wifi or bluetooh ??? Maybe it is possible to place shortcuts in the new manila 2.5 home tab, as your nice big red Reset button ?? ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If you notice, the button to the left of my big red Reset button is comm manager where I can enable/disable wifi, bluetooth etc. Therefore each is only 2 clicks away. Not that big a deal for me!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
The funniest new function is the "select Birthday" dialog or didn't I found out, how I can fast move to the year 1968? It is a form of finger-gym. for old owners...

one benefit of R7, after using it for a day, makes me feel like my HD (reflashed with R6) is both supercharge and turbocharge! no lag at all in anything I do :O :D :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
You can use Sashimi. This gives you the option to install to storage card.

In R6 I was able to install an Action Screen app, which put Action as the left softkey to pull up the screen. This cab would not install on R7 though. I guess Fallen Spartans "workaround" will work LOL

+1. no problems with sms via manila. Able to send and receive (without the "fix" mentioned earlier). I have also not had any crashes or need to soft reset except for installations.

No, none yet. This is probably the only issue I have with R7, not that simple to apply the little personal touches, but I guess this will come with time. I tried Soft Key Manager - no luck mapping keys :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gohyc:
This simply goes to show how much thought (if any) has been put into designing this calender for date selection. Certainly hope some enhancement will be put into the final release. Luckily there are other contact apps that can be used to input birthday in contacts. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] henv:
maybe you can first put the birthday at the contact person and then use the tool birthday2calender (found it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=529857) to put them in the calendar
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xahrnah:
You can't really expect people to stick around with a ROM on their PHONE when something as critical (to some people) as SMS is not working. ;-)

I've been trying to keep up to date with the thread, and after applying the "fix" with settings->home country thing, I can now use the Messaging client, however following 2 bugs still occur which are major killers for me:

1. SMS tone (possibly ringing, losing calls I never notice) first comes when I put the phone out of standby?

2. Messaging client "scrolls through" all SMS'es sometimes when opening up a contact dialog. I have restored from a PIMBackup, is this the problem?

Sorry if any of these have already been resolved, but I couldn't find them.

AEWiFiTrigger

You can also used AEWiFiTrigger.exe which enable/disable WiFi with only one button. I have it on my storage card and copy each time I flash, the shortcut in programs. It's a really usefull application. :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
for folks who have no problem with sms app before, is your region locale "English (United States)" or something else?

I recalled setting mine to "English (Australia)", and I see some folks have stability issue when they change their region locale. IF so, maybe that's the reason why you guys have no problem with SMS, and some of us have.

Maybe you can set your locale to something else to see if it's indeed the cause. (although it didn't make much sense for me)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
@ everyone

Can someone else using R7 try this for me and tell me whether or not Internet explorer is replaced with Opera as default web browser.

Changing the locale definitely messes up things big time. I have a problem with some of my applications not running when I change the Regional Settings.

Temporarily, I'm keeping with the default locale & home city and have no problems with SMS (after applying the SMS fix posted - disabling adding country prefix).

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
The only change is key 1 to <\"\\Windows\\OperaL.exe\">

... but even after a reset, nothing is changed. But maybe you changes are not clear to me?!

EDIT: Internet explorer say also before this change, that he is NOT the default browser.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
For me not but also in versions before (old 2.1), I never have problems with SMS.

Maybe it is a combination with local settings and your provider?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zenkinz:
One thing that puzzle me is the "English (Australia)" and "English (United States)" probably use the same MUI code, and I think this is the one that causes stability issue since some of the DLL are dependent on MUI code. That's why I didn't think so much about it.

Can you do me a big favour by changing to "English (Australia)" to see if you have problem with SMS?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SaP1:
Yes, i do always the point 1, but is it necessary to do the point 2??

i have never do it...the battery should drain faster and then the signal is good without change anything.

i use static ip, but i never had problems with R5 for example...
