Is there a way to change the "contacts" link on the home page to point to PdG TouchFLO 2D Dialer in the 3G version (installed seperatly)

Fourth Hardware Button Fixed!

You DA MAN Mr. DSL:D!!! It's fixed...thanks a bunch. After installing the fix just need to make sure you do a screen alignment again.

BTW SKYFIRE 1.1 is now available and runs faster with less memory usage. After replacing 1.0.2 the memory usage went down from 75% to 60%.

The ROM is working beautifully!!!

I also noticed that there are a bunch of trig calculator button images in the windows directory. I imagine they are taking up memory. Do you have a specific list of the ones i should delete? I would hate to delete something that is needed.

I'm trying to look for the best voice command app...would you happen to have this?

Thanks again!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
I don't include any browsers because I'm sure most people prefer to install them on their storage card. Myself included but I'll have to check this new version out thanks :)

Thanks :)

They should all be for the HTC Calculator app thats included for the ROM.

I personally use MS Voice Command but its not freeware. However I'm sure if you searched you could find it.

CRC Update Issues with Black Bliss

The ROM is still working beautifully.

The only problem I've encountered is when i use certain updates using CRC's Update. When I dowload the sofkey changer utility it changes the theme. It also somehow corrupts the screen refresh and when you try to slide a screen up or down the icons appear smeared across the screen. This also may be becuase there is an incompatibility with Mort Script on certain HTC plug-ins and utilities that reinstall the HTC original theme and titanium panel icon attributes. I even tried to ensure the theme was deselected in the today menu before downloading and installing.

Basically this renders the today & menu screens of the ROM OS unreadable and swithing back and forth between screens does not refresh it. The smeared ICONS remain no matter what is done and then I'm forced to hard reset to start all over. Only individual apps seem to look ok.

Is there another utility app that i can try to change the softkeys?

Thanks in advance!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Tada1228:
I have question. How do I change the htc hero clock time from the 24 hour military style to the 12hour A.M P.M style?

Also, I kinda find it hard to use slide my fingers across the touch flo icons because the hermes has a border around its screen compared to the diamond or touch pro. Anyways, other than that it looks really good, and should be smooth most of time if you close the running programs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Just go into regional settings and change the time format to something else and then back again. I know its not set to 24hr but for some reason it starts that way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
thats really weird...when that happens it means theres no background wallpaper. go into file explorer and make a pic the background and see if that fixes the messed up icons.

why not use advanced config in the tools folder to change softkeys? im pretty sure it does that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 8526WM6:
I will try both ways. However, I went through Advanced Config with a fine tooth comb and cannot find anything that changes the softkeys. Is there another version of Advanced Config I could try?

Thanks Again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
the cpr is corrupted at the line of the background image... check that... unistall or harreset your device extarct the startmenu global cprs and compare it with the messed up i cant remember the exact value that must be changed but you can figured out that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 8526WM6:
Que appreciate the reply but what you told me is beyond my understanding. I have no idea where to look and what a cpr is:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
The version included has it..

Launch Advanced Config

Click on Menu/More Settings/Key Mapping
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 8526WM6:
OK I found it and thank you. However, I tried to program the right softkey many times and performed a softreset but the change doesn't work :( . Eventhough Advance Config shows the right softkey set to something else it still displays and activates Comm Mgr.

If I disable Windows default in the Today Settings, and Black Bliss shuts down, the original OS SoftKey menu is uncovered and the Advance Config settings display the correct change. When Windows default is activated again in the Today Settings Black Bliss covers the first Softkey Menu Bar with it's default installation settings with Comm Mngr. set to the right Softkey. So Advance Config only changes the original OS Menu Bar and not Black Bliss's Menu Bar.

Is this a registry error where the Black Bliss installation doesn't properly replace the Original OS Softkey Menu Bar?

Thanks again....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
This would actually be the Titanium plugin thats doing that. Its a reg setting so I'll have to check it out and see what I can find.

The lite version doesn't have titanium and includes the apps I listed. Theres no screenshot because well the background is blank.

Hi MrDSL, when i saw your Manilla version I though... "Damn! I must Try it" and after download I flash it as soon as possible.

The ROM for me haven't bugs, I think I can say this is "The Perfect 6.5 rom"

but..:(

Thare are but...

The phone crash, whit no one reasons... I can't understand why.

First of all, I flashaed befor the A&T OEM Strip, than flash the rom.

First time, the phone crashin during a conversation.

I re-reflash the rom

Second time the phone crash when I play Kevtris... :confused:

And last, the phone crash today, after 1 week whit no problems.

I was trying to play a video whit Win Media Player...

WHY!?!?

I have to come back whit another rom, I can't stay whit a unstable rom...

So sorry :(:(

See you!

Softkey Programming Problem

Any update on this Registry Setting?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] 8526WM6:
Camera Bug

The first camera prob is the hardware key assigment. When it's assigned and you press the hardware key it says"Error opening shortcut or locating target filename."

Also, if you initiate the camera from the multimedia menu it opens fine, but when you take a pic it shows up as grayed out on the left side of screen and you can't save the pic. Videos save ok but not pics.

Other than the above issues, I have never had a lock up screen freeze.

This ROM is amazing! I a new to this whole thing, and i have to admit i was a little scared of flashing my phone. It was well worth it though. The install was a breeze. You rock dude!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrDSL:
Yes sorry..It is controlled by the titanium plugin but I know I included a editor. Go into start/tools/titanium/chome editor <--its called something like that.

When you highlight the active plugins on the left side the settings will appear on the right side.On the right theres like skutxt or something like that you can't miss it theres like to of them that have to do with the soft keys. Its very easy to find and you'll know just by looking it.

The program is beta so it may crash sometimes.

Bluetooth Issues

I've been using the 21728 3G rom for a couple of weeks now and found it to be fast enough and very stable.

I'm having an issue though with bluetooth, if I pair it with my Nokia BT-C91 it doesn't auto answer after x rings which is a pain, I've poked around but can't seem to find any way of getting it to do this when just paired to the car kit.

Another issue is when I'm running Garmin XT and paired to the car kit the sound from calls is not routed through the car kit, it's routed through the earpeice.

I'm not sure if these issues are down to the rom, clunky hardware or just me being an incompetent fool :rolleyes:

Any light shed would be greatly appreciated :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Fizzig:
Does anyone know a utility that you can run before a game, configure a key map for the game, set screen orientation and override the HTC typing function so it won't crash the phone / game?

I've found some good Touch Pro 2 compatible games but many need a D-pad or use of other hardware buttons. Others put the screen into the wrong orientation relative to the keyboard. Yet others allow use of hardware arrow keys but the directions are mixed up... If there is a utility to do this for all WM games the Pro 2 would be one of the best PPC games machines out there... Any ideas?

i'm currently looking at this battery:

(image links to ebay)

which seems like a nice cheap battery for extending my phone's battery life.

i'd like to know other people's experiences with this battery though before buying it.

some questions:

battery:

does this battery interfere with GPS like some extended batteries for the original diamond do?

does this battery really noticably increase battery life?

has anyone been able to check if this battery has any negatives with long term use?(phone damage, or large reduction in battery life after active use)

is battery charge properly displayed?

cover:

is it made of good material?

the camera opening: can you feel a hole or is there a smooth transparent cover at the same hight as the rest of the cover?

does it fit properly?

unfortunately all quality related info i could find was from webshops selling this battery, and from the manufacturer itself, which isn't really a reliable source.

EDIT: if you know a better/smaller battery, please tell me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] Neo Cortex:
I got this battery just over a week ago. Figured it was so cheap it was low risk. I'll try and answer your questions.

GPS was affected. It still worked but took a long time to get a fix. I applied the silver foil fix in this thread and now it is just as good as with original battery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4341412#post4341412

Battery life is massively increased. I had stopped using my phone coz it wouldn't last a day. Now I can use GPS for a couple of hours and do some browsing with power left at end of day. So far I have never run out but I still charge everyday because it has been quite low a few times.

Can't speak about long term use

Battery charge seems to be properly displayed.

The cover is not brilliant. It fits but it is a bit creaky. It's just about ok.

The camera opening is just a hole. There is no cover for the lens. It's unlikely to get scratched as it is a deep hole but dust does collect in it.

I feel it was a good investment and I am glad I bought it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Accessories] thedicemaster:
thanks for the info.

i think i'd rather go for a good standard-size battery though.

i really don't like the idea of having a hole for the camera.

making packages from OEM?

Put you OEM package in the EXT Package maker folder then drag and drop it on the EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and you should have a EXT package ready to put in you kitchen.

note that some oem packages you download are separated into 2 folders exsample PACKAGE_MEGA_Album and PACKAGE_MEGA_Album_0409

just drag the PACKAGE_MEGA_Album_0409 (language pack) onto EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and it will a folder called 0409 inside PACKAGE_MEGA_Album

now just drag and drop PACKAGE_MEGA_Album onto EXT_PAckages_rebuilder.exe and you have a finished EXT package with language files inside.

The package will be named appname then followed by the build number of the app

will add a cab to OEM and EXT later
