Music tab woes

I have been using the new version for a few days now, and it seems to really struggle with the music tab. I have a 16GB memory card with around 12GB of music, and the whole music tab is slow, slow to load up, slow in the library. It is as if it is scanning every file every time. The latest ROM had some major problems leaving the music library too.

I have for now rolled back to the release with Manila 2.5.1911 or whatever it was, on the 21891 release. It seems to be working a little better on the music tab but not much.

I realise this isn't the fault of the cook, but rather HTC's code for Audio Manager, i was wondering If firstly anyone else is having difficulties, and also whether there are any fixes or tweaks about, or if there are any nice, user friendly alternatives around. Though I do really like having the music on a tab!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] guillermogc:
I really hate the HTC SMS software. Is it possible to disable it and use the WM sms system as it was in sense 2.1 and before??

Thanks!!

HTC Sense UI seems to freeze enough times and gets stuck where the only way I can back to it is if I soft reset which is a pain in the ass WOW!!! Everything else works fine I can make phone calls use apps go into the start menu while all this is happening but thats it...can only get back to sense ui after I soft reset!! Is anyone else experiencing this at all?? Then if I'm in the start menu and I try to X it out to get back to sense ui itll freeze up until I hit the start menu again then I can use the start menu again.... best way I can explain it!

Any ideas/help/fixes would be appreciated!! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MRFERRARI23:
Does the one you rolled back to from the other rom give you back that drop down menu in the album when you tap on it while in the music tab after you tapped on it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mistm:
MRFERRARI23: I suffered this in lot of Ark's ROM and after some time of hard resetting I think its just about flash luck - sometimes I flash ROM and install everything and it stucks, sometimes I flash the same ROM and it works well .... I've noticed its not bad to firstly install all my applications and then synchronize contacts/calendar events etc. Also I avoided using SmartLock and any other autolocking programs, Automatic phonecall recorded and Opera 10 - these three made me lot of problems. Good luck.

i believe that previous build was a bit more stable than this one...and less laggy

first time i fired up this one it was lightning fast...even at first,just after the HR...but after a while it became laggy and a bit slow...wondering if i'm going to move back to the previous build or to another rom....although i like af series quite much...and won't abandon them just like that

ad yes i do use oxios and stuff to free up memory...and i occasionally SR the device...so it's not human error
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osrix:
Back on TP, it was always said to flash back to stock before flashing a new Rom of a different build number - in order to clear residual blocks of memory left over from a previous ROM that don't get overwritten and cause problems.

The hard reset method is supposed to do this also, but you could try it, especially if some users are reporting bugs/freezes and others are not this seems to make sense.

Don't ask me about the science! i always used to do this but have gotten lazy :p

I can't establish a active sync connection with build 21891..,..?

Due to all bugs and problems I have experienced with Manila 2.5.1922 or 2.5.2011 I have decided to upload the Rhodium AF 20091216 I´m still using.

http://rapidshare.com/files/347850255/RhodiumAFStable.nbh.zip

In my opinion the most stable ROM is this. It hasn´t landscape but it´s very stable and good working. It´s Ark_666s best ROM as I see it.

Audio Manager works perfectly. ActiveSync works without any problems. I have used this version for a long time and it´s very, very smooth.

I haven´t seen this version available for download today (because it´s been replaced with the Manila 2.5 Landscape editions) so I decided to upload it.

For those who want´s a Rhodium AF who is stable, compatible with fix and mods such as HDWalls etc - try this one. It´s simply great.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pjw29:
Yeah, I did mention that in an earlier post, much prefer the drop down, but the general speed of the whole tab is such a let down, whereas If i was to use s2p (which still needs a little finalising) the library browsing is almost instant!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pjw29:
How well does the audio manager work? How much music are you "pumping" into it? And does none of the landscape work whatsoever?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on the last ROM that Ark did a couple of weeks ago that was LEO based? Obviously it isn't available for download any more at htcpedia and I can't find my copy of it. :(

Thanks for any help.

Problem with .zip

Hi kwill

There seems to be a problem with "LS_LockScene_480x800.zip" attached to post #2125:

Ark,

I am really having issues with the 6 Feb-23529 Rom constantly freezing up. I have flashed from stock rom, Hard reset after hard reset and it still does it. Did you accidentally upload one of ur beta versions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ctbear:
Never freeze on me once...have you tried using the phone for a while after hard reset, without installing any apps?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tarcisioq:

the new live messenger, downloaded through marketplace, doest work. After providing login details, it pushes me back to the home screen. There are other version, that do work, however, the new messenger looks slick and I'd like to have everything up-todate :D

Is there any solution to this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] judicious:
is there anyway to get the landscape to work? also my tilt 2 keyboard isn't mapped correctly, any idea how i can fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CandyAndy:
dude....seriously...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NoMoNada:
Okee, I know you are not waiting for this type of response.:(

I am only a functional tester and had high hopes after version 4a. With your introduction of v5 and v5A it is now worst.

I have no idea what you did but it does not feels good.

The funny part is all is working and does its thing unfortunatly the graphics has hickups the whole time. And it is only a fragment of een second it still hicks before moving.

Specially the Sense interface. I place my finger on the slide and move it, then it waits for that fragmented second and then moves. When I stop the finger on a tab, the tab is black for that fragmented second and then displays.

When pressing a program on the programs-list it waits and then executes. The white selecting arround de icon is not there.

In comparison, your version 4A had everything going like a well oiled machine.

I switched from version 4a to your version 2 with sense 2.1. but that was very buggy and missing the power icon. So I went to version 5 which got quickley replaced by 5A. With all the updates in the list it looked like a winner.

I wait for your 5B or 6 but else i return to your 4A.

I want to stick to this ROM because it has all the tools i need for getting through the day. And your ROM looks pretty and is eyecandy.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ORHANSARISIN:
new ROM.I have three days.No problem I think.

meet all my ambitions.I think a very successful:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ark666:
Thx for the input "NoMoNada", have u tried a reflash, or have you made an hard reset after flashing?

Cheers. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] benwahballboy:
Just flashed the new version this morning and I have to say this version runs a whole buttload better on my TP2! It's snappier overall than the previous versions and YouTube works for me this time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NoMoNada:
Naturaly I have not been sitting down waiting for the new version.

I have been testing all kinds of things and came to the following conclusion:

All below i tested after a hard reset.By holding down the 2 outer phone buttons plus the power butten and then pressing the restart switch.

-All taskbars released on this forum mess with your ROM. This includes the special battery drivers. I tried 4 different fancy taskbats with 3 different battery drivers. It all failed in your ROM. It was not very obvious but it was "off" the natural response.

- the installed windows live/messenger is a major bug! pressing 1 of the icons crashes the phone.

What i did was installing a working windows live restart, uninstalled windows live,restart, then still after pressing the icons(yes they where still there) The phone just stopped working. So soft restart and removed the icons and installed the working version of windows live, again restart.

So now the ROM runs without graphic hickups but there is almost zero room for customizing. However i now come through the day with a fully responsive stable phone/ROM.

Maybe now the buggy windows live is gone the taskbars will work. I have not tested that yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sancho1234:
Hi Ark!

The Buttons menu is empty (Settings / Personal / Buttons). Why? Please, recover it!

The PockeTwit is not work on your ROM. It need net.cf 3.5. I know, the net.cf 3.5 is in your ROM, but the PockeTwit is halt after I run it.

The Peep is lost the internet connection, and after not work. I turn off and on the Twitter Tab, after it work again. But the losting of the connection too much for me.

The Messenger is not work, can't connect to the MS servers with my MSN account.

I can't found the opera1.ini. I would like to change the number of new pages in the Opera Mobile. Where is this .ini file?

(The HTC Smaller Menu is work fine after I hard reset the TP2.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mash1453:
hi...

this is good rom but i want "call history" not calender in today screen....

how can i change ?

thank you....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shootydogthing:
HTC made it callender, it changes to whatever your next appointment is... I don't think it can be changed easily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ORHANSARISIN:

This is the best manilla 2.5 ROM, I have used. Everything works. Great Job!

Hey AF,

I would like to add my thanks to that of Sashaohio and can confirm that this is the best manilla 2.5 ROM I have used. Everything works very well for me.

Rgs,

The YouTube Player not work again. (20-10-09 ROM ver.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] justin0679@gmail.com:
Working perfectly well on my VFUK device with video quality set to auto...

In anycase I think there is a new ROM version out soon...

Rgs,

J

Ps. Would anyone agree that if it was possible it would be useful to have Manila "Skype" & "Facebook" tabs running next to "Twitter"???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwill:
Damn, good catch! Sorry andrew. Never noticed that at all:D

Yep, its just a zip file. Unzip, then place the cpr in windows\lockscreen folder. Funny enough, I saw a them you posted (world map and nexus one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612712) and in your screenshots, you had the htc lockscreen and it worked fine in landscape. Plus, it looked like it had a darker, slider icon. Do you know which rom you were using at the time? Maybe we could get with them and figure out which package he used for the lockscreen and if he has the actual correct lockscreen cpr's for portrait and landscape.

By the way still not experiencing the freezes a few people have said they are. Maybe I just got lucky. But, I do have one small problem. I have 3 (actually 4 using seven beta for lotus push) email accts set up. Every now and then when I unlock or even while browsing through the phone, my email inbox pops up and says "Failed to synchronize the folder list, Messages cannot be downloaded at this time. Hit that message and it says Sync failed." Doesnt happen all the time, but does happen and has been for the last few roms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cranbone:
nothing is instaalled but AT&T keyboard fix. If I disable sense it doesnt lock up, but seeing how there is no titanium, it really make the phone useless. I have flashed this bad boy many times, hard reset several time and went back to a stock ROM several times, hard reset several times and always the same thing
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] pinhead:
When I make use of the Zenyee .cab to disable the HTC messaging I have no MMS. Is there something I should be doing that I am not aware of? I usually disable Sense so I not using the HTC messaging with the phone at all.

You could try flashing it by SDcard method. But so far for me the ROM has been perfect, no freezes yet and blazing fast

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
No total freeze ups for me, just Sense crashing on both the 21891 and 23529 which is why I want to go back to the last ROM that Ark made from the LEO - zero problems with that for me and plenty fast enough for me.

I notice that other ROMs from other cooks are a bit flaky when they have this new Topaz Sense so I think that it's that maybe???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] guillermogc:
Gonna try it. I'll let you know if it works.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osrix:
i have had a few problems with occasional freezing, so today i remembered something from when i had my TP,

Ive tweaked some settings in Advanced config, and all seems good so far!

what ive done:

in Performances changed File system cache to 8MB

file system filter cache to 131072

Glyph Cache to128KB

These tweaks are from when i used to run 6.1, and given that 6.5 handles memory a bit differently i don't know if these settings do/will help

but at least so far no ill effects!!

I'm hoping this may stabilize this excellent ROM a little further.

Worth a try in my book
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Doinshots:
No, that causes some hybrid between HTC messaging and WM messaging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwill:
You all might need to install an arcsoft mms cab. Search for it and think theres a new one posted somewhere.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Doinshots:
I tired that and it worked - sort of. When I go to 'all messages', it brings up the WM client that I like. However, when I click on the actual message in the manilla tab, it takes me to HTC messaging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cranbone:
Did that already..I saw some earlier were having the same issue...anyone else having this issue?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cranbone:
Thanks for confirming...I know I was doing everything correctly. I reflashed to another rom, but I'll probably come back and I may give ur tweaks a try. If there is any change let me know. Thanks again
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cranbone:
Im beginning to see the same thing..after testing all the others with this version of sense...didnt have the prob on last version
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MRFERRARI23:
WOW honestly I'm glad to see that other people are coming forward saying the same thing, b/c honestly it's a real annoying issue when my phone for no good reason freezes up like that and the only way to get it back is to soft reset, it isn't cool and makes using the phone when you need a bit troublesome!!! And today already since 9:30am this morning I've already had to soft reset my phone 4 times and that's just plain crazy!!! So maybe it does having something to do w/this new build of manila 2011???

I hope that ARK sees/reads this and can fix it or maybe go back to using a more stable version of manila from say his last rom release that I saw some people say was working better!?! I really do like the rom a lot but with all this freezing up its driving me mad and making me want to fling my phone lol.. not only that but having to constantly soft reset drains your battery as well which isn't a good look!!!

KWILL... Your using this rom but the wm 6.5.3 version and your saying that its smooth and not freezing up what so ever??? IDK man this is mind boggling.. I mean I flashed my rom then did a hard reset so I know it's not that... and if it as was only me saying this then yea it might just be something I did wrong but a lot of people are saying the same thing so somethings not right here!!! I just hope this gets looked into an resolved b/c I like using Ark's roms there by far my favorite!!

Sorry man, I have been using this ROM for 2 days now and no freezes.

I flash via SD card with no SIM, let the phone set up, then replace the SD card with my 'every day' SD card (and all my autoinstall stuff) and hard reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bulls-eye1:
@ Ark,

There's a new version of GoogleMaps available (4.0), maybe it's something to put in the new ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ctbear:
personally i dont get any freezes at all...im using the latest 6.5.3 rom

i always flash by customruu, hard reset right after that, then sync my contacts with myphone (i dont backup messages)

then google sync my mail and calendar, and play with the phone briefly

if nothing goes wrong, i install all the customizations and software i use (ark's autoinstall doesnt work for me :/)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] osrix:
To be straight mines not freezing too much at all, it froze once this morning opening emails but thats it,

i'm not using my phone a huge amount at the moment though, a few appointments two or 3 emails sent a day but hardly any txts on this phone..

Can we get a clearer picture of when these freezes are occuring,when eg. after long sleep, what applications you're running if any, Push email enabled/not. etc.

if we can get a better picture maybe it is the same for all and we can go about getting it sorted out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mistm:
Great ROM!! I dont have any issue at all for now!! Thank you for your hard work!

BTW on my device the email tab is shown correctly in landscape mode.

I'm just so glad that someone kindly uploaded RHODIUM_AF_SENSE25_R3 for me! I've had it back on for 6 hours now and I had forgotten how good it was! Sense doesn't disappear requiring a soft reset, the alarm seems reliable, and appointments appear on the homescreen again :) I have no doubt that the problems with 21891 & 23529 are

not

Ark's fault and I really do think something's 'up' with the Topaz Sense.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tarroyo:
What your experiencing is a bad flash I had many problems with the last 23518 build and everyone else said it was running smooth for them. I reverted back to older 6.5 roms that ark did and then reflashed to the new 2011 manilla build everything is working smooth, Try that going back then flashing the newer rom.

On another note this rom is damn near perfect! The only bug I'm seeing is after a soft reset sometimes a menu comes up asking me which time zone I'd like to use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ctbear:
For the time zone issue, you need to turn off automatic timezone change in phone settings

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
It works mostly for me - I set everything to 'read only' but it always seems to miss a couple out for some reason.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
I don't think it was a bad flash for me, I tried both 21891 & 23529 and Sense was a bit of a pig in both of them :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] iridium21:
Ark just said on Twitter "Leo 2.07 on Rhodium. It's great" - are we getting a new ROM based on it soon? I hope so :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ark666:
Yes it´s good, just finishing some final things and test will begin.

Try using the zenyee disable htc messaging cab now (after the arcsoft mms). Read more in zenyee's thread and see if someone can help if that doesnt work.) I'm out of ideas:D

Nope, nothing. NADA!!:D No freezes or crap and usually I have them because I use Seven beta and not even with that installed. Switch to 6.5.3 I'm telling you:) I don't see what anyone misses about 6.5 anyways.:DLMAO
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwill:
Hell naw!! I can't leave this rom as I can't imagine my phone running smoother. But sounds like a few interesting things. I did hear they're releasing a swype in rom on the USA version of HD2, so I guess that's where some of this stuff is coming from?
