To Zak :

For FK to work I would need you to transcribe the attached app.dat with your system paths in german.

It's easy for native German, open, edit and save with Notepad.

Mostly all "Program Files", and "Start Menu\Programs\Utility" in last line

Then next release FK will work & load !!! :)

brds,

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] ZakMcRofl:
Yeah the rom seems pretty clean but I don't mind, I don't need much extras ;)

Screenshots tonight hopefully.

In the meantime, to keep you busy:

1) I do not have a tools menu.

Ervius Sip Selector is not in the ROM (at least not in start menu).

Start menu is "Startmenü" in German. There is a "Windows/Start menu/Programs/Tools" folder that contains Clear Temp, Quick Clear and RegEdit.

Correct German path would be "Windows/Startmenü/Programme/Tools".

2) app.dat: shouldn't it be possible to use variables like %programfiles% instead of localizing? Dunno if there is a variable for the start menu though...

Anyways, modified app.dat here:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/wteynk3zjel/app.dat.zip

3) The regional setting currently defaults to English (USA) but should be Deutsch (Deutschland). Easy to change for me but I don't know where in the rom (registry?) it is defined.

4) Shutdown text (when holding power button) is english ("Power will be turned off, and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?)

Like I said earlier its already good enough for my taste but together we can fix all those minor issues, I'm sure ;)
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Thanks ! For regional settings you could change them by hand here :

Start - Parameters - System - Regional Settings or so.

For the text power down, please give me the text in German you want to see, I'll integrate it :) for sure :)

I'm modifying the app.dat ATM, Do you have a "Tools" folder in your start menu ?

Instead I can put the FK link in Startmenu directly.

More tonight, rather in a hurry for now.

Thanks for help making the German Rom for Trinity !!! :)

brds,

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] ZakMcRofl:
I know I can change them, I just wanted to report that the default should be different. I can read up on that issue.

I don't mind the power down text. I only list those issues for you, they are non-issues for me :)

I don't know the official text but a rough translation would be: "Das Gerät wird abgeschaltet und ungesicherte Daten können verloren gehen. Fortfahren?" The windows is labeled "Warning", German translation would be "Warnung". If you find the file that contains this, I can check if I find a german version of it. It's not like you're making the first german WM6.5, only the first for Trinity (plenty of thanks and hats off for that!)

I do not have a tools folder in "Windows/Startmenü" right now, but I wouldn't mind one, keeps things organices. Translation for tools would be "Werkzeuge" but personally I prefer tools. The mentioned links in "Windows/Start menu/Tools" should also be moved/adjusted there.

ttom

Hi !

Nice job with your rom !

I have trouble with the gps. No device detected with tomtom 7.450.

I have tried to check the parameters with gpsviewer but nothing is detected.

Before flashing the rom with yours , it was working fine with tomtom 6.032.

Any clue about this issue?

many thanx,

djoul
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Tomtom works fine here

Did you try hard reset after install, also you should install latest radio (1.56) and try tomtom 7. Before getting first fix could be long and stay outside in degaged view :)
[P3600 ROM Development] ledjoul:
I have tried everything you said but it keeps saying "pas de périphérique gps".

usually it says after a couple of minutes "waiting for a valid signal".

I don't know what to do...

any further help?
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Which version of my ROM did you take ? WWE, FRA ...

FRA I presume.

I want to update my FRA GER AND WWE builds but I'm stuck as every nite media fire sucks at upload. I shall put the last versions online on the morning :(

Well when I start Tomtom it runs pretty OK by itself ... I don't have to change any settings ...

Did you try to adjust your GPS settings : in Tomtom, use "Other receptor GPS NMEA", debit 115200 bauds, GPS in COM9

Otherwise, I don't see what's wrong, try version 7.910 perhaps, is your card still valid in your Tomtom upgrades ? That could be the problem.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
With radio 1.56 things are very much faster than this, about 30 sec for a fix, because of the help of GPS rapide ... :(

Which radio do you have for now ?
[P3600 ROM Development] ledjoul:
It WORKS ! ! !

I did exactly as u said :use "Other receptor GPS NMEA", debit 115200 bauds, GPS in COM9

i do not remember having selected this receptor in tomtom...

i also have a diamond and i use the same version of tomtom, same map, with the embedded receptor and never had any trouble. weird ?

anyway, i'm happy now !

Many, many thanx for your help on this one !

(i do have radio 1.56)
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
You're welcome :) it worked, so my pleasure :)
[P3600 ROM Development] mgamma:
very happy

After one day usage, I confirm that I am very happy with the ROM :)

My radio I 1.50 etc...:eek: I'll do something and follow your advice.

I will focus this week on maps and gps. That will be a good opportunity.

The "googlemap" on touchflow doesnt work (if I enter an address, nothing happens, it just store the address, but I can see no map). I guess i need a cab or something in addition to the rom. can u indicate a place where I can find this? or do I need to open another application first?

thanks for your help
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
I said it in first post, the post install that goes with the ROM is provided ...

You can install google maps cab (in post install folder) by hand and it will work

Normally, the Post install thing on the SD takes care of it automatically after your flash,

you must have SD config.txt and the Cabs folder at root of SD ...

brds,

nAr

EDIT : ALL LINKS UPDATED - FRA, WWE, GER BETA 2
[P3600 ROM Development] eelpout:
I installed the latest, update WWE 28/08/09 and Finger Keyboard doesn't seem to work. I can get to the options and all, but the keyboard itself never shows. The default (stylus) keyboard always comes up. I even tried installing a new FingerKeyb CAB on top and that didn't help.

Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: OK, if in Options/Languages I deselect "eng" then select "fra", get out of Options, then go back into Options, and do the reverse it works. whatever. :)
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
I often saw that, to enable FK by Ervius sip selector, no app must run, even in background like IE, SMS messaging etc ... the most convenient way is to call FK to load just after the soft reset you did after your PIM restore for example.

This way, just after SR I am always able to load FK. But only like this :)
[P3600 ROM Development] matu:
i have the same bug as in previous wwe rom version:

what we have: incoming sms from any nomber not in list, trying to save it to contact list or make a call (click on number, @action needed@) and no action, nothing happens when i try to save the number (not even contacts app start), and when i try to make a call on numer in this menu a phone app opens and no number in the field or history... so i can't do a thing with numbers from messages app... thet bug is so annoying... i have to use copy-paste and it takes a lot of time.

overview of new wwe rom: it looks faster a lot.
[P3600 ROM Development] eelpout:
I've got a bug too. Every once in a while when using File Explorer, my device just freezes when opening up a random directory. The list pane is empty of file names and the scroll bar shows about half way, and then it freezes and has to be soft reset with the stylus.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
If you wait 10 - 20 more seconds some action takes place.

I know what you mean. For example, I browse & scroll in Windows, and lots of files in there ; Scroll Touchscreen is very sensitive, so in fact I tell WM to open a file without noticing it myself; device seems to freeze but after 10 secs or so, it opens the graphic in Album, and that took time. So I thought it was froze, but it wasn't :) I had that tonight :)

Also, when I open the Tomtom directory on my SD card, well ...

the .lnk and the tomtom .exe ( 4,80 Mo file) don't show immediatly, I have to wait 5 secs or so ... the rest of the files yes ... and bar shows halfway screen : if I don't wait, I can think the device is frozen as nothing responds before it has read the total size of the files.

That's how I see things. Guys, to give fast reasonable performance on the Trin, the WM 6.5 cache is

very heavy

for the hardware. Most of the time it's OK but some cases, you have to be more patient. That's all.

For the sms bug on the WWE version, as far as I understand, when you receive SMS from a number not in your adress book, you can't save phone number, right ? Just to be sure. I might try another build of arcsoft then, more recent :)

Thanks for the feedback anyway, greatly appreciated :) For the urged ones, just go there, I have links to the new ROms updated today, just follow the english flags :cool: will update links on first post here at XDA tomorrow, too tired today :o 01h25 in the morning here, drove 4 hours and got back, time to sleep, zzzz

[P3600 ROM Development] Roberdin:
Would a later version of ArcSoft allow me to see to whom messages have been delivered? At present, I just get a text from "System Administrator" saying that my "message has been delivered to [telephone number]", but I don't know people by telephone numbers. On my last ROM, it gave their names.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
And what was your last ROM :) ?
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Is it possible to change the big analogue clock on the home screen in manila to be a nice big digital clock instead? I like the big numbers on the Touch HD home screen.

Great Rom by the way. Seems quite quick and stable. :D

Just about to start installing all my apps (TomTom6, GAlarm, S2U2, PockeTwit, Facebook etc) :D

Another quick question. The download for WWE contains another .rar folder with some cabs in. Do these have to be installed after? or does it install them after by itself? :confused:
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Actually, saying that it's nice and stable. I seem to be getting quite a few screen freezes when I'm trying to access my Storage card via File Explorer. Is this normal? Do others get this? It's just a 2GB card, nothing special. I keep having to soft reset :(
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
"Cabs" folder + SDConfig.txt

To put at root of your SD before flash

Unplug SD then

Flash

Hard reset

start device and plug SD card

It'll auto install the cabs as mentionned in SDconfig.txt !!!

brds,

nAr

(Otherwise the manila couldn't work for selcting "google maps";)
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Did you hard reset just after flash ?

You can use advanceconfig to reduce the size of "Cache du filtre du système de fichiers". I put it at 8192 because it goes well with my 8 Gb. Try 2048 and 4096.

Also, perhaps backup you SD, reformat it with PC (fat32) and re-copy everything on the SD ...

I get no freeze accesing storage card via File Explorer, Total Commander ...

brds

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Ooops! :eek: I didn't do that. I guess I can install the ones i want now can't I? :confused:

I don't think I want the Vodaphone app anyway do I?

What are the other apps for?

TVMusique?

ConfigurationNetwork?

IPASO Titanium Customizer?

VodafoneLive?
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Yes you can install any cab you want ... :)

brds,

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
I'm not having much luck with this freeze situation I'm afraid.

I've tried changing that setting in Advanced Config. I tried 2048 and 4096 but it seems even more unstable. I've gone back to 8192 now.

I also tried reformatting the SD card like you said but it had no effect.

Any other ideas?

Now every time I go to file explorer it just locks up right away. :(
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Just try a new flash;

same rom, and hard reset

after

the phone restarts (after flash.)

It seems your flash was not good, or you didn't get a proper hard reset after flash.
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Cheers for the help. It seems to have sorted itself out now. I changed the setting back to 8192 and all seems to be well. :D

Do you know if there is a way to have the next appointment displayed on the home screen of Manila. I have the calendar so I can click there to launch the calendar and see but it doesn't say the next appointment on the home screen.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
In case you experiment SD problems again :

might try this : drivers for SDHC Cards for Trinity

Link Here

Install cab and soft reset, many users reported it to work well on WM5, WM6, WM6.5

For calendar, yes, of course it gives you next rdv on home screen !!

By default it reminds 15 minutes before+notified on the new style screens

brds

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Ahh, it seems to be because my event was a multiday event. It works if I just add an appointment as normal.

When I click on the event I don't get a cool page like yours, it just goes into the calendar as the normal agenda view.

I have installed those SDHC drivers so hopefully that will work if I get a bigger card. I don't think my card is actually SDHC now, its just a standard Mini SD.

Cheers for all this help. It's very much appreciated. :D
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
This "cool" page shows automatically 15 min before your appointment (with the notification sound too).

I've just got it all set up the way I want it. Is it worth me doing it all again? :rolleyes:
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Technically it would be possible; but they are reasons why I chose to use an analog skin :) I love needles, but I agree, the big digit thing is also wonderful :rolleyes:

Dear Nashorn:

Your ROM don't work with chinese plug-in ( CE-Star ),after installed the progamme the system will hang!!:confused:Any soultion on your final release?
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
I don't plan supporting the chinese plugin, there are plenty of good chinese WM 6.5 rOms for Trinity.

My wife is japanese so I know. Probably lies in a WINCE.nls not chinese input compatible. Browse xda for sopme replacement to drop in Windows, then soft reset. If system boots, it's OK, it might change fonts but probably you'll get chinese plugin support then :)

[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
I love this ROM with Manila2D in it. It is the fastest version of Manila I've tried so far.

I've installed the latest WWE IE8MANITIT from your page tonight.

My problem is that it is still quite unstable for me. I get a frozen screen quite often. Sometimes in the file explorer. Sometimes when I try and write a message, sometimes when I'm just flicking through tabs. :(

Have you tried using the 23017 ROM of Tomme45i as a base then adding Manila on top of that? His ROM is really fast and stable. :cool:

I really want to keep this Manila but I'm having so many lock ups I might have to go back to Tomme45i's plain ROM :(
[P3600 ROM Development] philocritus:
use version 1.0. version 1.2 is always trying to connect to wifi... never found out why.. it turns out slow :(
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Version 1.0 1.2 which part are you talking about ?

Yes, the manila is fast because settings have been optimized through tests and skin is a lightweight one, although it was a pain to adapt to this actual version ... :) a lot of work

I won't use Tomme45i base by respect for his work, I wouldn't produce rOms "nAr" with a hidden tomme45i base, that would be disrespectful :(

Tomme45i is fast and stable because (partially) he has no Chome, neither Manila in it. The simplest the rOm, the more stable it will be, and complex rOms are difficult to settle and everything works well inside.

I suggest : you can go back to Tomme45i rOm, it's nice and clean :) or, try my nUdE rOm, which is VERY fast and should behave close to the tomme45i one, or wait ... but don't ask for eveything at same time : slick enhancements and fastest speed, they are mostly incompatible. Think this hardware is 3 years old now, and yes, IE8 is slow, but someone complained one day IE6 was still in rOm and same as WM 6.1 so no improvement and no scrolling ...

I never have real lock ups, not in file explorer. I have a bug of incompatible things between the new notification package and wi-fi. With wi fi I know there's really something to fix, though ...

If you want scrolling startmenu as I do, Manila on top and IE8 running at the same time, yes, the trin is a little slow, in file explorer too, limits are hardware for those settings ... try to disable manila, and see things speed up.

(continues working on the core rOm :)

brds,

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
Don't get me wrong narshorn, I love your work :D

I know I'm asking a lot from this old phone, but I just want it to be perfect :rolleyes:

Manila is exactly how I work. Just a few tabs with important things on. The few people I regularly call, messages, and a few programs (TomTom, facebook, PockeTwit) Plus it looks really nice and modern. I like the lite versions with finger friendly menus but I like the manila interface more. :D

I'll just have to keep an eye on this thread to see where it goes :cool:
[P3600 ROM Development] eelpout:
Yes, I hope we can clear this up. I'm having WiFi connecting issues as well with constant attempts but no success without soft rebooting. :(

I still get the occasional File Explorer lockups too, but can live with that for now. Next time I do a ROM flash, I'll be sure and do a hard reset before doing anything else.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Sorry for the "bad experiences" ...

To get more responsive interface and more stable:

Advance_Config in Tools then Performances : set filter system cache to 128 sectors and reboot.

For the wifi, the new notification_enhancement package is the culprit. There's a dll confict so it freezes when accessing wifi ...

Preparing clean release for monday. With stable and lots of good things !!! :)

i have installed the cab and I have insatlled the program on the storage card. ....The program works perfectly as a program.

however the googlemaps page of touchflow does not work.

is that normal?, what can I do to make it work?

links between conatcts and call pad or sms

Hi

I use so far your rom dated august 20 (my data bas is long to load therefore I update, but not as frequently as your - nice :) -production)

Some do not work properly. when I receive a sms with a phone number and I click on it in the touch screnn, it opens a "conversation" with a link on the number that leads to a a screen which proposes 3 options

check if the number is correct

"call"

"send a sms"

"open the contact" or "save to contacts" depending on the case

if the contact exsits "call" opens the call pad, but I have to type the number the two other options work perfectly

if the contact does not exist

"call" has the same behaviour than above (and as the number is unknown by me :( ...)

"send a sms" works

"save to contacts" opens a page with three void buttons.. and every button comes back the the previous screen (the one with the 3 choices)..
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
yes ... I missed some important packages from MEGA ... moreover, I don't exactly remember what I did on this 20th aug. rOm ;) but I perfectly see the bug you have, everyone has it in my rOm. I just made a test one with the missing parts ... be patient.

I'll send you PM when I done a very good version, so you don't have to download all the rOms :)

Is there a reason why the Stocks tab is missing?

I'd like to be able to use it :D

PS I just donated you a pint (or 568mL as you're in europe) Keep up the good work :cool:
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Stocks tab : where ? I don't use addins that's why

did you restore to 128 sectors ? Is it better ?

Do you have problems using wifi ?

Thanks !!!

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
I thought Manila had a tab for stocks along the bottom just like weather/internet etc? Maybe I was thinking of TouchFlo3D :confused:

What is the 128 sectors?

We talked about me changing the 'File system filter cache' from 8192 to 2048. I found it didn't make any difference (if anything it got worse) so kept it at 8192.

I don't get many lock ups at all now. I've been using it quite a bit this weekend and running TomTom 6 on a long trip. All seemed fine. Maybe a fresh install and hard reset before anything was just what was needed. :cool:

I seem to be able to connect perfectly at home to my WiFi but here at work it says its connected but won't let me do anything on the internet. I think it's probably a problem here at work rather than with your ROM.
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
Mostly, never seen this on on MD2 QVGA

Try it at ... 128. Seems better on my File explorer behaviour. Lighter on memory too.

Cool ... that's nice

Yes, parameters seem better accepted in WEP simple than WPA etc. I have a bug on my Trin, when I have entered the network key, then click connect, it keeps trying to connect and freeze the trin ... I think my hardware might be broke. That's why I asked.

I have same probs on the new rom ( not divulged yet ) ... lot's of MEGA packages, interface much nicer, new Manila M2D2 :) I asked a friend to test this ROM to be sure I have a hardware bug ... :(
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
I just tried to connect to my home network and I got your problem. I had previously connected to it so it knew the key so I didn't have to type anything. I turned on WiFi and it started trying to connect, it tried and tried then froze up. I soft reset the device and after it had booted up it was connected to the network fine and I could use the internet again.

Hmmm! strange, this doesn't happen all the time, just every now and again. :confused:

Maybe you're hardware isn't broken?
[P3600 ROM Development] narshorn:
It's the new notificationmanager.dll that causes this problem, it's not hardware compatible wit hTrinty. I found a fix however, disabling some notifications and I will update the rOms of course. There will be more bugfixes :

- Tab Chome : "access to ringtone" fix ( it actually opens the phone canvas)

- Setvolume will be directly accessible with the n°"1" key (under power button)

- FingerKeyboard will be loading itself by default, qwerty EN in WWE roms, azerty FR in FRA roms, QWERTZ DE in deutch rOms

- Adding Random Acces MEGA package in Contacts ( right slider)

- Adding of the new SDHC drivers built in for better compatibility with all new hardware

- Global stability and speed of the rOM increased

- Adding a boot animation from Hero (resized to QVGA)

-Mostly, new dialer (chances are)

- etc ...

brds,

nAr
[P3600 ROM Development] chimpsinties:
OK that's cool, I'll look forward to that. :cool:

One other thing I noticed when it froze and I reset it, the finger keyboard did not load up after it had rebooted. It had reverted back to the normal keyboard and wouldn't let me select the finger keyboard. I had to soft reset it again to get it back. Just thought I'd point that out.

Keep it up. :D
