Do you mean that the task manager is the cause of excessive battery drain?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Scann69:
Just checking....set your device to Ring & Vibrate. When it rings and you answer, does the vibration stops immediately or does it drag on for an extra 1 or 2 seconds before it stops vibrating?

After i press the answer key on either the device or via bluetooth, the ring tone stops but the vibration continues for an extra 1 to 2 seconds. Just wondering if others has this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] CarpeNoctem:
why dont people read... it has been answered already...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
I deleted the task manager and replaced it. Battery is still draining so nothing has been answered! If that's what you guys are talking about.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
There are 25 posts on this thread containing the word "battery" and no where is there posted on this thread a reasonable explanation for the shorter-than-normal battery life with this ROM.

I like most aspects of this ROM, too, except for the battery life...but to call it "perfect" -- crazy.

I don't know what carpe is talking about...but I don't think he has an answer about battery life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Never mind.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ultraman69:
did replace the task manager with htc taskmanager but did not see an improvement, which forced me into trying another rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Yeah I think I will do the same. I'm already waiting on a ROM so when that's done I will do the switch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] frenchie746:
Trying out V1_10 right now. Thanks for goin back to the HTC_Taskmanager:D

Anyway, keep up the good work!

This is still my favorite ROM by far, I will take better memory management over battery life anyday.

But honestly, I don't notice any more battery drain than any other ROM I have tried.

romeos.monx.biz has got to be one of the worst forums I have ever tried to register with. It has been over half an hour and I still haven't received a confirmation link to activate my account. I have no tried two different email accounts and neither of them have received a confirmation yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Scann69:
For those of you complaining about the battery, you might probably want to try another ROM. I think monx would have gotten the msg by now. I've flashed it last nite and so far don't see battery drain on my device.

As for the website....i believe monx is handling the website on his own and i think he is on holiday now. There is a major celebration going on in Malaysia now so just be a lil patient. I'm sure when he comes online, he will send you a confirmation email.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcc332006:
same here it sucks i tried 2 different email addresses also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcc332006:
can you post rom frenchie. his website doesnt give confirmation emails. Thanks in advance. Mirror?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Monx, (well, someone using his e-mail account) sent me an e-mail a couple of minutes ago regarding a donation I made. I replied with a question, and he responded right away.

So...Monx seems to be home now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] anshkhanna:
V 1.10

I have read through the whole thread and nowhere do I see Monx stating that V 1.10 would be available only to those who donate. Page 10 has someone else saying so...

Monx - Is this correct - is a donation a precondition to V 1.10?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcc332006:
you must be very special. cause i registered twice with different email addresses and no confirmation email whatsoever. you think you can call him for us?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
I think it is cause if you notice, after you register you are able to download the v1.04, but when you go to v1.10 the download button is no longer there. So yeah you have to buy the new version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I don't know for sure... but in the text-link on page 1, the one that gives the URL to the site where Monx's stuff resides, it says:

"Please register here http://romeos.monx.biz to get your free copy of ROMeOS3 for Rhodium ROM.

You only allowed to download v1.04 FINAL without any donation required." [the emphasis is mine].

So...it wouldn't be hard to interpret this as meaning v1.04 --

and no others

-- is available without donation. And, as I pointed out in a post earlier today -- the title of the thread

is

"... |v1.04 Final |....."

But I don't know Monx at all, just interpreting the facts and guessing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Yup that clearly says it all. To download the v1.10 you MUST donate. As in you MUST pay for it.

I need to know from the people who has v1.10 what is the big difference with v1.10 and v1.04? If v1.04 is FREE and v1.10 I would have to pay for to get. Then must be a big difference correct? Let me know what are the major improvements guys.

Also does it matter on how much I would have to donate to download the ROM? Donating is donating correct? :D Lol haha...

Let me know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] frenchie746:
Think of it this way... Monx is giving you a free version (1.04). If you support his work, just like any other chef on this forum, you can make donations so he may continue to create updated versions of his rom. Now I am guessing people that make donations will get the future upgrades w/o having to continue to pay everytime there is an upgrade(a perk of donating). So please stop labeling this as having to "buy" 1.10. If you don't like the rom, don't use it.

As for those having issues with the website, not sure what to tell you. Monx will have to look into it to see if there is an issue with his site.

I'm not a spokesperson for Monx but it's really annoying to see so many jumping on his back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Hey, I don't have a problem donating! I've done it plenty of time before. And CLEARLY you're buying a ROM! When something is free, but then the newer version we have to donate? Yeah! I don't have a problem with that because the ROM kicks ass!!! It is what it is, don't switch it up. No matter how you put it we are really buying it. Just that their isn't a price just as long as we throw some money down.

I'll donate for all the hard work! But not for the thought of a "new" version to a ROM. Understand where I'm going?

Again! I don't have a problem with this so don't get at me in anyway. ;)

BTW, nobody said they didn't like the ROM. :confused: Went through all the pages and everyone is in love.

Planning on throwing some money down for the new version probably this afternoon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] anshkhanna:
Donation

Well I am all for supporting the developers by donating...I have till date donated to practically all cooks, whose ROMs I have used (NRG, Itje, Smaberg, Atom etc)...As for Monx...I donated for his Rhodium transformation pack...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Exactly what I meant. A lot of hard work went into these ROMs so of course!

EDIT: What's the transformation pack?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] frenchie746:
I like to think of it as an "incentive" ;)

questions need answers

Hey monx.

I did not see any battery drain since i had your 1.04.:confused:

And I kinda like the new task manager :)(wktask) i downloaded it in case you take it off because of peoplmle complaints... :(this is much better looking than the stock one IMO.:)

One question is still not answered though: "is your 1.10 available for everyone registered on your site or is it "reserved" for your "sponsors or donators"?:confused::confused:

how much should i donate to get it?

I wanted to donate anyway but i gotta know how much if i have to give more for some good rom of yours.:p

I know xda forum is none of your priorities but please answer.

Thanx.

same questions!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GamerGuy80:
Start menu

is there a way to add the programs tab back into touch flo and a way to make it so when i go to the start button on top it loads all the settings instead of having to go to the setting tab in touch flo.... these two seemed to be switched.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
This is an answer to the second part of your question (I think):

Are you using this thread's ROM - v1.04? If so (and maybe even if not), you can change a setting so that the standard WM6.5 Start screen is used instead of the HTC Manila 2.1 Start screen (while still retaining everything else Manila) -- that sounds close to a way to get what you're asking for.

Try this:

Start|Settings|All Settings|Tweak UI (aka "HD Tweak")

Then, at the top of the list in Tweak UI is "Homescreen" with a choice of Manila (Default) or WM6.5.

Select WM6.5, then OK

Soft reset

One sort-of-unexpected result of this change is that when the Manila Start setting is used the Home (hard) key (on my TMo TP2) opens the Start page , but when the WM6.5 Start setting is used the Home key goes to the Home page.

I tried it both ways but (currently) prefer the Manila start page.

YMMV
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] superkevx:
hey monx, i donated back when you mainly did raphael roms and I was able to download anything I needed from your site and post in the forums if I needed. I tried to get your new rhodium roms but I realized that I can't do anything anymore! Can't post or download anything from your site except for changelogs and 1.04. Do we need to donate again for rhodium roms?

Why is it that the website WILL NOT send confirmation email to my 3 Email addresses I've used thusfar to try this rom? Anyone else having this problem?

The message says I'm registered and confirmation will be sent to email , but havent received one yet. registered twice last night and once today with all 3 yahoo accounts and still Nothing can the Cook or someone supply a mirror for the v1.04 build. I would greatly appreciate this. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] graphreak:
Patience, patience, it just might be that the Chef is unable to respond due to health reasons.

He clearly states it on his home page- ROMeOS by monx®
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcc332006:
Hope he gets better. Thanks for response. I posted this question last night and someone said he was responding to them. once again thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
That was me... he (someone) did respond, though I also prodded with a messge left on the Contact page of the site.

This was regarding a donation I had made earlier in the day (Friday), so maybe that pushed the response up the queue...? Don't know.

I had originally registered on his site to get the v1.04 Wednesday night (Pacific time), and got an e-mail response within an hour...so something is different now.

Maybe the responses to website registration aren't automated, so if Mr. Monx is out/down for the weekend then that's probably why...but no less frustrating, obviously.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcc332006:
Yeh It's kind of frustrating. I just got my touchpro 2 yesterday and have went through a series of roms and havent yet found one that i want to stick with. Thinking about going back to stock. By the way have you had trouble changing touchflo 3d themes on manilla? everytime I install a theme cab the theme shows up but the homescreen is frozen icons missing ect when I reactivate tflo3d in settings after soft reset. any suggestion would be appreciated. I'm thinking about sending this phone back if I cant change tflo 3d themes. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
I love this ROM and I'm on v1.10. I notice something in both versions which I think needs to be mentioned.

I notice that when I'm on the windows interface and I get an email or a text. After clicking the tab it takes at least 1 second before it opens. Doesn't open up right away like it should. It's very noticable!!!

Not a big deal, but I wish it could open right away. If I notice that it takes time to open then that's not good. Right?
[Touch HD General] mike_dangerous:
I have been having to reset my HD more and more, and it seems to run slowly at times and is becoming quite annoying. Is it time for me to install a custom ROM? Would it be more stable and faster if I chose the right one? I have no idea how to install one or what one would be best to improve my HD. Can anyone give me some advice?
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
I'd try a hard reset before trying a new ROM - it all depends on your requirements and what you use your phone for. Lots of the cooked ROMs around here offer more features and often better performance than the stock ROMs, but sometimes at the expense of having to put up with the odd bug here and there (of which there are still some in the stock ROMs)

If you're not bothered about the most up-to-date features then, like all things Windows, a hard-reset (basically a clean install of Windows Mobile) will cure your woes.

Power off your phone.

Hold down the Vol up and Vol down buttons together.

Power on your phone (while still holding Vol up and Vol down)

Release all buttons.

Follow instructions on screen.

Be warned - all your data that is not stored on your SD card will be wiped, and your phone will be as it was when you bought it. Use PIM Backup or Microsoft Myphone to backup your contacts, calendar data, texts and emails before hard resetting. This advice is also true for flashing new ROMs, in case you hadn't guessed.

Have a look around the ROM devlopment forum, most WM 6.1 ROMs in there can be considered stable now, unless they include Manila 2.5. There's an excellent "dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ ROMs" in there, as well as threads on using USPL and HSPL - all of which you will need to know about before attempting to flash custom ROMs. The Blackstone Wiki is your friend.

Good luck.
[Touch HD General] mike_dangerous:
What exactly is Manila 2.5? I haven't been on the forums for a while and Manila 2 seemed to be the in thing, but it seems to have already taken another step.
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
A new, unreleased version of Manila that's come from leaked HTC Leo ROMs I believe. It's still very buggy, slow and unstable.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If a hard reset doesn't work, and if you want to try a cooked rom, read this guide which will assist you. Post any flashing queries within that thread.

If your unsure of which rom to choose, try reading first post of each rom thread. Also try scanning thread or asking within each thread for known issues, then make your own educated choice in choosing a rom which best suits you.

AutoRename can rename photos automatically and move them to another place.

"XPPR-456.jpg" gets"2009-09-15_15.57.38_1523kB.jpg"

The application is designed for Windows Mobile but also works on the Desktop (Microsoft .Net-Framework must be installed).

On the PDA the camera- application stores photos with a very impractical name like XPPR-456.jpg . Now with this Software you can rename these photos by a single click or by drag and drop. In addition, they can be moved to another location.

At the moment there are 3 different formats you can use. Duplicate names are prevented by intelligent naming;

The implemented formats are:

DATE_TIME_FileSize.jpg gets for example 2009-09-15_15.57.38_1523kB.jpg

DATE_TIME_FileCounter.jpg

DATE_TIME_(FileCounter if necessary).jpg

Usage:

The program AutoRename does not need to be installed. Simply copy the file "AutoRename.exe" to any place and start it. At the first run the configuration file "config.ini" is written (when it does not exist already). It must be adapted to your needs before you make use of the program (before the 2nd program start).

The configuration file "config.ini" is located in the same folder as the executable; the content is self- explicatory.

New feature: Files can be converted by drag and drop- defined format in config.ini is used

Configuration file “config.ini” (is created automatically at first program launch):

; AutoRename configuration file
; format=0	2009-09-15_15.57.38_1523kB (DATE_TIME_FileSize)
; format=1	2009-09-15_15.57.38_1 (DATE_TIME_FileCounter)
; format=2	2009-09-15_15.57.38 (DATE_TIME_(FileCounter if necessary))
[Info]
Charset="utf-8"
[Configuration]
FromPath=\Storage Card\DCIM\
ToPath=\Storage Card\DCIM\
format=2

History:

2009-09-16: added Command Line support (now files can be converted by drag and drop- defined format in config.ini is used)

added FileExtension management

2009-09-15: added CofigurationFile & formats

2008-12-12: initial version

Outstanding:

full commandline support

userdefined pattern

Files:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmon777:
i have not stayed as up to date with all the advancements on the g1. so im asking about swap and how it works i read how works on like desktop and ect but i did not fully understand it. also tried looking a some threads about again could not really find anything on how it works. i get that its kind of like extra ram but not really. i guess im wondering how its not like ram i understand that its not hardwired and that can create issue is that the only real difference? and why can too much give you strange lags and ect? any reply would be of tremendous help
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0k3rn2o:
on that subject please explain swappiness 2. how to check and change swappiness. i understand u can change swappiness with terminal with code: su

then

echo xx > proc/sys/vm/swappiness

but how to check the swappiness?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
I actually pull the file and look at it.

su
cp /system/bin/user.conf /sdcard/user.conf

Then once you edit or do what you will now we need to move it back.

cp /sdcard/user.conf /system/bin/user.conf

Then i use "Text Edit" to look at the file and read the swappiness.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
The swap is something like Virtual Ram. It helps the G1 run things like Hero or make cupcake faster. Its something that the G1 lacks but most other android devices will have. You'll need to set up your SD card in the following order. Fat32/Ext2-3-4/Linux-Swap. Most ROM's will use the swap automatically so there's nothing extra you need to do.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmon777:
ok i get that. and i dont think that any of the new phones will have this until there is larger internal storage. but i could wrong. but my question that remains is why a swap partition of 128 or so seem to create odd lag problems. and most devs say 32 mb is most stable so a little information on this would be nice.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Hmmm I've acutally heard good things about 128. I haven't gone over 100mb for Linux Swap and it's actually pretty smooth... I would stick with that and if you want more speed increase your swappiness :) And that's the thing when rooting your phone like we're doing. It's a clear example of "Results my Vary" What works for one person may not work for another. I would use a linux-swap that works best for you. Try using 64 or 96mb.. see if that works better for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmon777:
i haven't done much experimenting because i have not had a complete understanding of it but i am getting there. and i had to get a replacement g1. im going play with a probably burn out a card or 2. but still i would like to know why too much room in the swap partition can make issues and also i was wondering if the size of the card matters in relation to size of the partitions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Some of the ROM's just have a hard time. I don't think there's an exact reason. (someone correct me if I'm wrong, I've looked myself) It's weird because some people have great results and others it's just awful.

When it comes to your SD Card It doesn't matter the sizes as long as:

Fat32 Can be the remainder of the card

EXT2/3/4: 1.5GB or less. I've read that any higher and the ROM's freak out

Linux: This can be 128mb or less. Either create a 32/64/96/128 size partition and you should be fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iman07:
do you mind if u can dumb it down for me a lil cuz i have been trying to figure out what the helll swappiness means and i cant find any good explanations. heres what i got so far, correct me if i am wrong. basically, as mentioned, its virtual ram. this virtual ram comes from ur SD card. so when our phones internal ram is not enough, say like on my MT3G, then the ROM, hero in this case, will use the SD memory as RAM. right? ok so whats the point of needing 3 partitions? why is this linux one so freakin important? and what do u mean by swappiness? do u mean just how much mb u are using from every partition?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
from what i understand... (which isn't very much)

a swap space is used like ram (like some one said earlier virtual memory) the reason a larger swap space is not as stable in the long run is that once the space starts to fill up more it has more to read through and swap between the swap space and the phone.

swappiness is the rate at which the info is stored in the swap space. its measured in 0 to 100. 0 being the lowest and 100 the highest. the higher the number the more the swap space is used but also the faster the swap space will start to fill up.

i hope my mediocre explanations are not to horribly wrong
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
It'll use it in addition to the internal RAM.

Fat32: Needed to keep additional files on. Storage, music, pictures, ect.

EXT2-3-4: This is used in conjunction with the internal memory. (The G1 suffers from a lack of internal space. This is the primary reason why I rooted to begin with)

Linux-Swap: This helps improve the G1/MT3G run CupCake/AOSP/Hero a lot smoother. This works as additional RAM for the unit.

This helps run ROM's on a phone that it shouldn't be running on. IE the G1 Running Hero

Swappiness is the speed that the ROM can access the LinuxSwap Partition

This one I didn't understand..
