You will not have fun in translating that ROM. It misses all the packaging information that is needed for rebuilding a ROM. You may have noticed the *.dsm and *.rgu files in many ROMs (at least in all shipped ROMs). These define the properties of the SW packages with regard to building the registry and assembling the files and modules to a ready ROM.

It still IS possible to do that still but you cannot have easy porting of packages from other ROMs as you are stuck with the *.hv files there.

With the kitchen I will also publish an article on all the special things that you need to understand for cooking. It will not go in much detail but it will only outline the architectural dependencies of the things you come across when you wish to cook. This is something I always missed (despite Da_G delivers a lot of insight) as a summary format. From there you can dig deeper yourself in the XDA world and all around the WWW.
[HTC Hurricane] sniper304:
Hi tobbbie, I want to try! Because htc hurricane is a very good phone!
[HTC Hurricane] tobbbie:
You better port another WM6.5 ROM to the Hurricane. You can use any WM6.5 Standard ROM that can be dumped to packages and replace the SYS folder from the WM6 Hurricane as a start.

XIP porting could also be done, but I doubt (no experience or proof though) that this is needed for the Hurricane. As the nk.exe is WM6 - and has to stay so - there is nothing to gain by porting the XIP imho.

Kitchen is about ready - will publish it this week :-)
[HTC Hurricane] sniper304:
Excellent, Thank you! To begin, I want to try to port WM 6.1!!!

Any idea if I can get a new screen from somewhere and change it myself, or do I need to bring it to the service?

I was unable to find screen manufacturers for Topaz, any help?

I cannot get WeFi working on my HTC TP2.

Never had this problem on my HTC TP. Is something conflicting WeFi with the WM6 wifi s/w on the TP2?

Hi

Unless I'm actively using it my TP keeps turns itself off after 30 seconds no matter what power settings I use (and despite a factory reset and SPB restore). This isn't too much of an issue, except when I'm trying to use GPS/Satnav (TT7) whilst driving, where turning itself off is a real pain.

Could anyone please suggest how this issue can be resolved?

Many thanks in advance...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
Is it physically turning off, requiring you to press the on key, let it reboot, or,

is it going to sleep, and you press the on key to wake it up?

If it is the latter, go to start>settings>system>power, click on the

advanced tab and change the backlight & power off settings there.

If it actually turning off, sounds like it might be a defective phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] timpollard:
Thanks for your reply!

I've repeatedly altered the power settings but it makes no difference at all, if I set it to turn off at any given time (or not at all) it'll still turn off after 30 seconds. And to claify, it doesn't reboot, it just turns the screen off. It *feels* like a software issue, because it'll stay working forver as long as I tap the screen occasionally, something somewhere just counts down 30 seconds if i don't and turns off the screen...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] myknyte:
The max time you can put on it is 5 min. The default setting out of the box is 30 seconds --which sound like what you currently have.

Set the "On Battery Power: Turn off backlight if device is not used for xxx MIN). Make sure first that that's checked, and select the drop down.

Eventually --to conserve battery power--, it will 'sleep'.

Your NAVIGATION software should have a setting to over-ride this to NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION.

Aside from that, there is no other way to keep the backlight on --unless it's plugged into a power outlet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] timpollard:
Many thanks again for your reply; As I mentioned previously I've already changed the power settings settings (frequently) and I'm definitely not on the 30-second default, no setting appears to make any difference, be it 5 minutes or 'never turn off'. It also happens when the 'phone is plugged into a power source too.

(And I have got the 'don't turn off whilst navigating' box ticked for the satnav but the issue applies generally, not just to the satnav, that's just where it's most irritating).

Is there any possibility something has changed in the registry to over-ride the control panel settings in this way?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farmer Ted:
How about doing a hard reset and not doing a spb restore? You realize that all you did when you restored the phone was restore the bug, right?

Edit: I doubt it will work, but you can try the backlight cab. It will restore all the stock backlight reg settings if yours are messed up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mimir3:
Hi,

I have same problem as you. TP keeps turns itself off after 30 sec!!

And I am using TT7. So this problem is so annoying.

I tried hard resetting and install programs one by one. and check if TP is keeping backlight on or not. And I installed TT7 and worked perfect.( display is always on)

That was yesterday.

Today I was using TP, it happened again.

The registry setting is still 3min on battery, uncheck on AC power.

30 sec problem happens both status.

This thing did not happen before Raphael_Cingular_US_5.11.502.2_Radio_Sign.

TP worked fine for a while on this radio.

Now even I check " NEVER TURN OFF DISPLAY WHILE NAVIGATION" box in some apps. TP turn off backlight.

I tried backlight.cab, that did not work and still turning off.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Catsrules1:
I am also having this problem. I did get it to stop once by going in to the registry and actually editing it. But it started to do it again after a wile. I am trying it again today and see if it work. I am using a trial version of BestRegEdit and was wonder if it could have changed it back because it was a trial. So if some one elce wants to give it a shot it us under HKey_Current_user\ControlPanel\Power\Display and you will change that 30 to what ever amount of time you want. I pick 0 because i never want it to turn off. Hope this helps Oyeah, does anyone know of a free resitry editor? This is my last day on the BestRegEdit Thanks

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
Glad you solved it, I had an interesting problem, similar to the screen issue, wonder it it might be related. I flashed to a new rom over the weekend, and no matter what I did, the backlight would turn off after 10 seconds. You could reset it to 30 in the power profile, but after a reboot, it would revert back to 10 seconds. Reflahsed it, and after the flash, when it starts loading the customizations, it would freeze. Flashed again, and it hung at customization again! Downloaded the rom again, deleted the old one, and flashed and it worked and the backlight would stay put!

Maybe the one you downloaded was corrupt?

Anyway, glad you got it working.

P.S. The rom isn't an "official" that I downloaded, it was one of the 6.5 that the cooks on the rom page whipped up. I think it was just a corrupted download.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yanivn:
This issue has happened to me a few times. even while i'm still using the phone and typing the screen goes off.

very annoying.

I found it only happened to me using EnergyROM. when I flashed to a different rom the problem was solved.

recently I flashed back to the newest version of EnergyROM again (after the previous ROM decided to hard reset all by itself) and this issue happened again in the first hour!

I really wish I could find a usable ROM for once and for all :(

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fusi:
I use EnergyROM as well and i noticed that right after a fresh flash, if you tried to modify certain settings using the gui (i.e. alarm times, connection settings etc) they wouldnt stick - perhaps a direct registry edit using one of the tools previously mentioned might force the device to remember the changes? this worked for me when i had trouble with my alarm times not being saved.

ive also heard that sometimes a soft-reset isnt enough to commit changes to the registry - i.e. once making a reg edit, cold boot the device - that is press and hold the power button and turn it entirely off.

hope this helps

Hi,

I'm using the 1%-battery indicator from the sticky thread but I was wondering how precise it is. I usually have quite long battery life (HSDPA + PushSMS on, BT + WiFi turned off). After around 24hrs I still have 40% left. After using it some more the battery is drained of course but the final 25% seem to go 10x faster as the other 75%.

I just checked my phone and it had 15%, now only 6 minutes later is only has 8%. At this rate my phone should only last 1.5 hrs approx.

Is this a flaw in the indicator or an issue with my battery?

Also interesting this phone will be a WorldPhone, so CDMA+GSM.

I'm very curious as to what this imply since Telus will be launching a HSDPA network very soon in anticipation of the olympics int Canada.

Anybody know what this imply for the Custom Roms down the road?

Usually there`s seperate ROM for CDMA and GSM, will there be a need for a third type of ROM for Worldphones? Was there any other device in the past that could do both?

I'm keeping a very close eye on all the TP2 that will have US3G since I'd like to upgrade my TP that is sadly lacking 3G in North America =/.

So, is this applicable for all CDMA TP2's including Sprint, Verizon, etc? Or solely Telus? Will the Sprint TP2 have the 3.5mm jack too?

Will all CDMA's be WorldPhones too? CDMA & GSM? If so, I am definitely going to stay with Sprint as I wanted to convert to AT&T.

I would wonder if the Att version could add the 3.5 audio jack. We have yet to see a picture of att tp2. They usually add the PTT button and changebthe keyboard. A 3.5 jack is almost a must have for music lovers. Sprint and verizion are competing with the Iphone and ATT is obviously not.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
I'm mixed about the aesthetics. I like the silver colours of the original, but I kinda like the green and red call keys (also great for when someone else has to answer the phone for you, that way they don't get confused), and I really like how it looks with an "invisible" zoom bar.

I'm confused as to why the Telus has a 130 character limit for sms...

And though other cdma versions are rumored to be worldphones, with Telus it makes even more sense as they have the added incentive in that they're building/switching to gsm infrastructure (supposedly next year). Personally I'm curious as to what bands the phone will be capable of and in what systems to see if it might be better to go for a Telus version of the phone and then unlock it...

Well, let's see how it all plays out :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rmk1825:
I'm with you. If we could buy the Telus and have them add it to Sprint for us, I would definitely do that. I like the look of the Telus TP2 over the Sprint one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] andrewilley:
The TouchPro2 is on Telus's Canadian website as "coming soon". Looks like no second camera, but doesn't mention the 3.5mm socket or any worldwide options (looking at the other specs, their version of the original TouchPro didn't have much).

Honestly HTC is not serious on this... Some people are complaining they issue new models at a too high pace (this can be argued,. I am not sure wether we should complain or not) but THIS... the same model with such a change...

I also wonder the impact it will have on ROMs... (Different hardware should require different drivers)

AAHHHH HTC you disapoint me for the first time !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
@Andre

Yes, on the Telus page they don't have really any details other than aesthetics, but if you go here:

http://mobilesyrup.com/2009/07/18/telus-htc-touch-pro2-video-review/

you'll see that they have more details as they are "reviewing" the handset (it's quite brief and not too in depth so it's more of an overview of all the basic functions).

But even there they don't have the finer details such as which bands it has in which protocols. I assume that it will have North American gsm/3G due to the fact that they'll be getting their own gsm network. But then again I read somewhere (although I can't remember 100% if it was about the Touch Pro2) that the Verizon worldphone with gsm would only have European gsm bands (I assume that would be to prevent losing customers as easily).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] labbbby:
Chances are, it will be a Dual band GSM phone, so unless I am mistaken, it would mean 3G in Europe on GSM but only EVDO Rev A in North America for high speed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
don't forget Telus ¡s going to be implementing a GSM network, so they might have included North American bands.

But we won't know until there's a technical review or full specs sheet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Alcibiade:
OK, I suddenly feel less sad :)

About the 3.5mm jack, fair enough, good for the new buyers. I just wish it had been part of the original design (And again I believe it may raise drivers with different type of ROMs)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dazultra2000:
I can't see there being issues with ROMs.

Most likely HTC have just wired the 3.5mm jack into the extUSB port as an adapter would, with some sort of switch to determine if a headset is plugged in or not.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DJ_Enigma:
I asked HTC about this and they said it was just a rumour on the internet.

Rumouuuur, right...

Those pics and videos are actually home made mods by some fan boy, right?:p

Yes totally agree. They should have the GSM network ready for the Olympics in Vancouver so Jan 2010.

I also read on engadget that the new Samsung BL40 migyht be the first handset available for Telus GSM.

Anyway we can flip a coin right now on the Bands because even if they launch the GSM network, this device can do just fine on the CDMA network, no need of SIM card for Telus user. Being a World Phone, so far only explicitly implies Europe's bands.

Let's wait and see, suppose to come out tomorrow anyhow! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
tomorrow?

Kewl, hopefully their page will be updated with more details. Or maybe some buyer at the front of the line will rush home to post what he or she opines and the specs :D Then we'd finally know just what it is capable of. If it is North American 3G/GSM or European 3G/GSM capable the corresponding people can kick themselves or give in to regret and despair if they wish;)

And buyers to be can have one more option added into the mix to confuse and befuddle. But let's face it, having choices is always a good thing :D (I myself am in the latter category as I save up/wait for it to come down in price a skosh/see if it comes out in my country by any chance while doing the first two things as it's always nice to have a local warranty).
