Cool. I say give it a try!

Hi Mike!

download link flashback 3.0 doesn't work

i want to try this one, because mikenificent 13.3 is wonderfull

thx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] anoniem:
even Task29 does not solve my problem .. I'm going to another restaurant I think :$
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Slickzor:
I'm Dutch and would really like to give this rom a try. Got one question though, does the auto rotation work? When typing textmessages i prefer to twist my screen, and i do the same thing when i'm browsing the web.

So is there an auto-rotation or manual-rotation (with a program) or no rotation possible whatsoever?

I couldn't find it in the changelogs so i thought i'd just ask it here :)

Thanks!

Here you go, I put up a new one for you:D

That's a great site to share files btw, finally an opportunity to give it a try:p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] driesdv:
Changescreen was installed on the 13.1 so in think it will be on the 13.3 to. The only minority i convinced is that i couldn't install fingerkeyboard 2.0, the spacebar didn't work. Maybe that bug is cleared on the 13.3, I will give this a try at the end of the week

I flashed for the first time a new rom on my htc and I must say, in the beginning I was scared to crack and install it. But now I'm used to it and i'm always looking forward to 2 test new rom's of Mike.

Mike, thanks for your time! I hope you won't let us down when you found a job. We all <3 your work!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Slickzor:
Thanks for the intel Dries, will try this one then. Got some other rom that doesn't work for me and doesn't tilt the screen so typing is rather hard eventhough i don't have very big fingers :P.

Bedankt voor de ROM Mike!

EDIT: Just installed it, looks nice although i can't install a lot of things. Hotmail account doesn't work, I can't send text messages (keeps saying it's unable to send the message), the weather icon on the mainpage doesnt work (won't display), Facebook only works through the application and not in the build in screen. All in all many things that don't work.

Things that i like are the speed, layout and extra's

If there's anything I can do about the errors above, please tell me :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BazBaz:
Sadly enough the spacebar is still not working.:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] slk-A4:
first report

fast fast fast, awsome looks, but........ flashed this morning 6.30 AM (battery 100%) and now... 8.30 PM I need to charge the battery...... ooops, that's more than I am used to, so....

perhaps my battery is ageing....

But for the rest, superb work, Mike, you're a real chef, i hope you'll find a job soon!

Thanx again.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Slickzor:
@Slk, if your battery life goes down fast you should try hard resetting it. Just pull out the battery, wait 3 seconds and then put em back in and restart. Worked for me.

After you've installed a new rom, always hardreset twice.

NOTE: I'm not responsible for any damage done to your device, I do this all the time and nothing went wrong so far. Have had 3 different roms.

I'm about to install Energy's rom, sorry Mike but the rom just doesn't work for me. Keep up the good work though! always great to see a Dutchie do big things! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] R-Tech:
did you do a double hard reset after flashing as recommended?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] oostrum:
Thanks for all the nice rom's !

Works fine on phone!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] accountabc:
That is not a hard reset ;). A hard reset is done by holding down the volume up and volume down button and the pressing reset (or power while the device is off). A hard reset restores your rom to its factory state; it erases al the data in your device storage (but it won't touch your storage card). Pulling out the battery is more like a soft reset (= pressing the reset button on the back)

the post below me is probably a more idiot proof guide ^^
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TRNSLN:
I do hardreset as folowing way;

1- After flashing, if the process 100%, before it restarts I hold my fingers ready at the volume buttons. If the screen gets black than I press up and down volume buttons so long as I see the question about "Back to the factory settings?". I confirm with volume up button and if that proces is finished I pres once more on the volume UP button to restart the device.

2- After restart, I folow the onscreen instructions by first start. Than I go to the settings and choose "Clear Storage". (this is perfect to reset the registry settings) After confirming the device restarts again.

3- Before second restart I hold my fingers ready again and do same things as by #1.

After everything I write above, the device restarts without problems and configuration procedure goes better! You see first Sim Card Control, than Network Setup, Input Settings, Location Setup, Mail Setup, Account Setup (Facebook, Twitter and Youtube) and as latest you will see Synchronize or something like that. After confirming it with the finish button you're ready to use your device.

So, I do this everytime if I falsh a new rom on my Blackstone. I hope it helps.

can you update the weather via 3g? because I can't. Is it me or the rom?

I'm using 13.3

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TRNSLN:
I've same problem. There is a rillphone fix but it doesn't help to fix this problem. :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] slk-A4:
Mostly my home-weather-location does an update, sometimes it doesn't: I don't know whether it is an rom issue or a provider issue.

I have T-mobile and they constantly have networkproblems. :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] reneverr:
I think it's t-mobile, happens to me too sometimes :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mikenif:
Same here. I noticed on the rtl news that t-mobile will give us 2 months free data traffic because of the problems theyre having.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ThatGuy2303:
No weather update for KPN users

For people who have this problem and have KPN:

Go to Start, Instellingen, Verbindingen, Verbindingen

Go to Geavanceerd

Go to Netwerken selecteren

In the top box it wil say KPN Mobiel Internet. Change this to KPN Internet.

Close everything and after that weather will update. At least it did for me... ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] vosnet:
For HI: change the HI mobile internet settings and remove the mmportal.nl entry after that it works again.

Select and Copy

Hello, i have a question about copying and selecting.

With the origional rom, while on MSN you can select people's lines and you can copy them.

I installed this Mikenicifent 13.3 but its not possible to select and copy?

Is it just me or is that function not installed on the rom?

Or is there some way i can activate it?

Thanks already!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hannemaster:
Hi there,

i have some memory here. My knowledge of memory is not that great so here's 2 pics to show u what i got. It's new, never used.

ht tp://home.kpn.nl/hanne229/IMAG0026.jpg

Remove the spaces in the link, I'm not allowed to post links... but the mods will see it's ok.:)

I also have a videocard, same here never used. AGP but not old, like 6 months.

it will end up in the garbage cause my computer is allready Uber-ultimate greatness x10...

let me know if u can use it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Frrrits:
:( I actually did take a look at my attic (OMG!!! What a mess:D), but unfortunately I allready used all my old Ram's to build PC's for family...I didn't want to bug you with useless news though:p

But really: Respect for donating a PC to Mike!! What a great initiative!

As far as the ROM's are concerned, still running on 13.2...it's excellent, battery usage ok and works fine for me:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] R-Tech:
Hey, thanks for the reaction!

I wouldn't throw the memory or the videocard in the trash, just sell it on Marktplaats ;)

No really; i can't use it unfortunately, I need DDR memory, not DDR-2.

184 pins DDR-PC3200 1GB memory banks is the best my motherboard can handle.

What if I just buy it, either marktplaats or Alternate and let you guys make a donation for a few bucks? Let me know :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] R-Tech:
Thanks for the reaction, I appreciate it, and Mike does for sure :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] accountabc:
I also saw your posts R-Tech, and I think your idea is great :). unfortunately I do not have the kind of memory you need :/. I do have an old Pentium III with DDR memory but it's only 2x256MB, dunno the speed (probably slower than mike has now) so I don't think it would help really... That's why I didn't post either ;)

Running 13.3 atm, have not yet found any mayor bugs :). Again, thanks for your work Mike!

13.3 still hughe battery consumption

Hi folks,

I'am sorry to say, Mike's 13.3 still has an unacceptably high battery consumption: I charged the phone yesterday morning, made three phonecalls and this morning the phone was shut down: battery is fully emptied, so 0%.

The only thing I use, is activesync with an push email. Former versions did not have this hughe energy leak.

I think I'll switch back to Mikenificent 10 of 9.0 or so, I flashed them all since Mikenificent 6 and I'm sorry to say that this battery consumption really is a problem for me. I 'll read this post back, in order to find the best version, because I do not know exactly what rom had the best performance for the battery consumption without too many bugs.

CU
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lawaai:
I have some other difficulties, mine loopt vast and after that it just won't start anymore... it hangs in either the smart mobility or the windows phone section.

It looks like it happens after adding the BT, WIFI and Weather icons... but not really sure if that's the case.

Going to try a older version, would love to find a .cab for the BT / Wifi icons though (hint hint)

Cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xsight3:
love 13.3, battery life is great and more stable than 13.1 (didn't try 13.2)

one thing which got my attention, we have a 5MP camera in our Blackstone, but when selecting quality in camera settings, it doesn't go higher than 3MP... maybe this has been always like this, but i noticed it this morning

for the rest.. thanks for another masterpiece!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] w.vangorkum77:
Maybe a stupid question but which ROM had the great batterylife?

I'm tired off charging my phone twice day and flashing a new ROM is a lot off work.

I love Mike's work but I think you can't make everyone happy with the newest ROM. Everyone uses his phone different so I guess I want less layout and more preformance out off my phone.

My own memory thinks it was 10.0 or the 11.0 that was good in memory and battery use. I think it was the version before cookie editor and with the ebook reader tab.

Does anyone still using 10.0 or 11.0 and can tell me what the battery life is!

Who can tell me what is the best preforming ROM?

Greetings William

Mike keep up the good work and lot's of good luck jobhunting! I hope you find what you want very quickly so life for you is back to normal!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jerommeke:
I'm using 11.0 and batterylife is much more acceptable. I can use my phone for a couple of days without charging.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Digin:
I use 12.2 and have no problems with the battery consumption. Several days with the same charge. No WiFi, but allways BT active.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BazBaz:
That is weird. My camera settings say 5MP.

I use 13.3. So it's not the ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] slk-A4:
I switched back to Mikenificent 8.0 with the QuickGPS FIX CAB. I came from Mikenificent 13.3: 13.3 had no bugs anymore (as far as I could check) but the battery life was very very short.

In Mike's 8.0 I seperately installed the GPS fix cab and Cookies Home Tab editor. Furthermore I think the icons in 8.0 (they are the coloured ones) are much better: they are much more distinctive and I like them more than the black ones. Furthermore the icons at the top are much clearer: you can read in big numbers what the battery is, it is not just a coloured spot.

But what is most important: I cannot find any bugs either (apart from the missing QuickGPS) and the battery life is good: the rom is fast, I cannot really tell any difference to 13.3.

So hurray to Mike's roms, we can all choose what we want.

Mike, good luck in finding a job!;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JHoogstede:
I still think that 11.0 is one of his best pieces of work. 13.3 also is nearly bugfree, but 11.0 uses the battery better.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] mehmetakif:
5 MP camera?!?

in this version of the rom you can take pictures at 3Mp max. i tought this was a 5Mp phone???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mikenif:
Cookies Home Tab 1.8 update comming soon:D

I switched to a new style kitchen and am using a fresh rom base.

Hopefully this will solve the battery issues that some are having.

Also need some oppinions.

23569 has been running nice. But when i switch to a more recent 21569(HTC branch) or 23122(Branch released with HD mini) i notice its much more responsive(start pops up twice as fast) the only issue those builds have is the keyboard showing bold letters. Not a big issue imo

What do you guys think? should we switch branches? 235XX also looks like its done
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] JHoogstede:
Is it possible to let us try both tastes? Or is that too much to ask? Is the bold-issue fixable with another keyboard skin?

Should you need a beta-tester for an upcoming ROM, just let me know. Willing to help you with that.

Which reminds me...I promised to make another donation...

/me heads to www.paypal.com :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] w.vangorkum77:
I'll have a go with it because I just tired off the batterydrainage in the 13.0 Rom i'm using now.

The battery drainage is not nice at all.

I was just preparing to backflash to Rom 11.0. I'll wait with that untill I know when your new kitchen is fired up and ready to cook an new ROM version!

Do you have an estimed date? I don't want to push you, no rush just making time free in my own schedule.

Greetings William
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Smobbo:
I think the responsiveness is MUCH more important then the bold letters!

But I think you'll be able to choose best :)!

Looking forward to seeing CHT1.8 in your rom!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BazBaz:
I agree. I do not really care about the bold letters.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] heymil:
go 4 responsiveness:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] slk-A4:
icons

Mike,

please make it possible to install the old icons (like in Mikenificent 8.0), they really are much clearer, especially in bright sunlight.

Or could you cook a cab, so that one can choose ....

Thanx
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xsight3:
that's really weird, I didn't do any tweaks myself and didn't install any apps which might change camera config I think

I can only choose between:

M (320 x 240)

L (640 x 480)

1M (1280 x 960)

2M (1600 x 1200)

3M (2048 x 1536)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kipusoep:
The most irritating about the recent roms, is that ActiveSync and POP email just do not work like they should.

In the beginning it works fine, but after some time ActiveSync and normal POP email just keep syncing without anything happening. So ActiveSync keeps displaying "Syncing" and nothing happens. When you press Stop it doesn't stop.

Closing activesync with the task manager stops the Syncing, but when it starts again, nothing happens like before.

Only a soft-reset helps sometimes. It's just that the email does sync like 10-20% of the time, randomly...

This could be a rom issue, but could also be a radio issue (it worked with the original HTC rom and the default radio version (1.15?). I'm using the latest 1.17 at the moment...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Elim:
I also and I didn't install here something.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] qntal:
I also dont have the 5 MP option. Running on 13.3
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Frrrits:
I don't mind having bold letters in exchange for a responsive rom:D Maybe even better, because I can hardly feel the keys with the current letters:p

You're the chef, we grab a chair and eat what's cooking:)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Shoarma1998:
Gents,

I really got a problem... my screen is misalligned, now all the time... Even the 'hardware' buttons I cannot use. If I want to press a software button I have to press two centimeters below it...

Even with nothing installed it goes wrong... I always task 29 before flashing... I flashed xanny's 2.8b, mike 13.3 and gregorz rom...

Anyone any thoughts on this?

cheers
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jerommeke:
Yes, allign it.

In settings there's an option to allign the screen. Good luck finding it with your misalligned screen :D

I can confirm that Smobbo's solution to the Opera in Internet Tab works ! I have updated the issuelist accordingly.

Thanks a bunch Smobbo, one more issue closed !

Robert
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
AFAIK the new manila version already has Opera as the default in the internet tab. (or a simple reg change can make it so)

And that new version is already downloadable... so why bother with this ugly hack?

It's hardly a solution, what if someone likes to use internet explorer?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobertW:
Rdgut,

To me and a lot of users it IS a solution and I don't see what see what exactly your objection is.

First you point out there is a new Manila version, while earlier you (correctly) pointed out that all current builds are buggy and therefor no new stable build is to be expected soon. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4493869&postcount=288. So what is it ?

Second, you call this an ugly hack (and it isn't even a hack, but rather an elegant workaround) while at the same time suggesting a hack (reg change) yourself. And what exactly makes this 'hack' ugly and the one you are suggesting not ? You are contradicting yourself.

Thirdly, this is very much a solution. It enables people to very simply make Opera the default browser, without it doing any damage, ensuring full functionality and it is just as easily reversable, in case people want to change back to IE.

So thanks for your input, but I fail to see how this helps. Please try to be more constructive in your comments.

Robert
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rdgut:
Regarding the builds issue I was talking about Windows Mobile (obviously as you even commented on that).

Furthermore I'm talking about the new build of Manila which is not in 2.6.

This is the same build used in the PDAVIET roms (and Duttys R3 now too) which according to some reports allows for simple opera usage with a registry edit from DefaultIE to 0 (I'd have to look up the exact location and string name).

The current build doesn't support this.

And the reason why renaming the file is an ugly hack is because it's alot more work to rename a file then simply change a registry entry.

Though it is easily reversable you need to consider that 90% of all users that use these roms have no knowledge of how all this works.

So once they change the name once, they'll probably have alot of trouble with getting that back.

And last, it's not a problem for me at all.

But if this "solution" is cooked into the rom, it's just a shame.

I say, look at the new Manila build first and then decide where to go next ;)

I'm not actively working on cooking roms right now but I am a developer and I (might) understand these things a little better than you.

When I develop something I aim to make it elegant rather than a filename change to make it work.

Just because it fools windows doesn't mean it's a good solution ;)

Don't forget that some other programs may call upon iexplore.exe with different switches which Opera doesn't support.

You can bet that what you want won't happen then.

You don't need to take my advice and it's really upto Mike but I'm just giving you my opinion.

P.S. The answer to your PM lies in this post and in previous posts I've made (in this topic if I'm not mistaken ;))
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mikenif:
Ofcourse renaming the files isnt a option:D. Ive managed to get my hands on the latest manila 2.5 files and some more updated packages and im updating asap.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobertW:
@RDGUT and Mike

Gentlemen, you both seem to interpret a workaround as a change request for the next ROM version. A workaround is a temporary 'solution' to achieve functionality not delivered in the current ROM.

The issuelist for each ROM version has the objective to inform developer and users about the observed behaviour of this particular ROM so users may be informed as to what to expect from this ROM and developers are pointed towards issues to be fixed.

As a service to users of the current ROM and those people still deciding to flash it or not, workarounds are provided in the issuelist to tackle certain issues, so as to make the current ROM more useable.

As should be clear by now, I NEVER intended this workaround to be cooked in a new ROM, and i feel a developer ought to know the meaning of the term workaround;).

Finally, I think that most of this discussion has been caused by a misunderstanding and perhaps we can move on towards a superb new ROM.

Thanks,

Robert
