Hi Kostas!

First of all thanks for great rom. I really appreciated your work.

I’m a user of A1 version of Your rom. I have chosen it because it fits me the best an it has one major (for me) advantage – call history on HT. Unfortunately I’ve recently experienced some issue with BT headset, which is well known to you. Are you going to fix it in nearest future?

I know that in my case you recommend to change rom on B4. and I’d gladly do it if there was a chance to add call history on HT.

So the questions are: if it’s possible? and does the contacts look the same in v. A1 and B4? (p

Sorry for my English – I haven’t use it for ages :)

Greetings from Poland
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
@ Qchi

Hi....the B4 is excactly the same version with A1 .

The differences are in Manila and in some fixes (Bluetooth headsets).

If you want to try it make a backup of your rom first...

hi i tried u rom for my o2 xda orbit 2 bt it cant be updated can u help me???:confused:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Petrakeas:
Kostas i tried the D version and I was excited by the speed of the 3D drivers. At last the menus and all programs are responsive. Unfortunately I don't like titanium..

Can we expect a C version with 3D drivers? Is it possible for us to install gfx boost on c rom and have acceleration for 2D graphics or other drivers need to be installed first?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
C version with 3d drivers is not possible and not recommended....We need more free memory to do that...sorry..:(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Shauniosus:
Hi,

Just flashed my dopod p860 with Version C and its looks and is running very nice

Thanks Kosta
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] vassilhs:
Kosta, the FM radio changed and looks much better but the volume control dissappears, so there is only the main with 5-6 levels.

Can you do something for it in next version ?

Will you make other rom with manilla or the b4 is the last with it and 3g ?

Thank you for the great efford

Vassilis

HTC Polaris

ROM: Kostas244 3G 23541 D3S
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Petrakeas:
Kosta about D rom:

-is there some way to access the thumbnail view of htc album rather than displaying the photo full screen? I think this is the most important view of the program.

-I couldn't view the videos with htc album. Can we install HTC album 3?

-total commander is not installed?

-is there some problem with notifications? I had a notification and the left software button of titanium changed so that I can read it, but nothing happened and the left SW button stayed stuck that way. I had to soft reset it.

-Can we change the battery view to show percentage?

Unfortunately all those issues keep me in the slow C version :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
D3S

D3S update 19/4 is UP.....3g version first...:)

Some minor bugs fixed and some progs added, like the missing shortcut of camera album in multimedia folder, the videos in camera album......

Thank you for answers!

Fast

I just updated my polaris to Kostas244_ROM3g_23541_D3S at 19/4/10 and wow. This rom works much faster then previous roms so far. And it feels stable too. Tanx so much Kostas
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Innersense:
Update again? Nice!

You say that Opera Mini 5 is better for Polaris From Opera Mobile 10? Why may i ask? (i have never used it) but i will check it asap.

I have to say that i realy like Opera Link feature, i have synced all the time the favorite bookmarks between 5 devices (mobile/home desktop/htpc/laptop/office pc)!

my major problem is that i still haven find a way to setup Opera with English interface and still having tha Regional Setting in Greece
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] lisak.petrik:
Well I was not correct. I mean it wasn't SIP problem, but keyboard sipchange problem. I can use just original Microsoft keyboard and any attempts to change fails. I installed some other one which works fine with D version. It says the keyboard is changed on C2 but just the Microsoft is available.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] :
Camera problem

Kostas,

Firstable, thanks a lot for this rom. It's the first time, I have windows 6.5 so faster. I prefer manilla2D but by using Titanium for few days now, it's not so bad. May be I prefer Titanium now !!!

I have just one problem : I decided to install the last release (3G of 19/04/10) because I had a problem with the video in the HTC album in the old version I've been installed (2G of the 14/04/10). With the new 3G release, the camera and the video are very slow !!!!

With the 2G version (14/04/10), this problem didn't exist. With the 2G version, It was the first time I was able to use the camera and the video recorder with good performances : clear, beautiful and smooth. Better with all 6.1 and 6.5 rom I used !!!

Do you know this problem ?

Do you plan to update the 2G rom with the same bugs fixes than the 3G new rom ?

Regards
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Innersense:
just updated to 19/4 D3S and i got one thing to say

always worth it.-

thanks m8!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sbettencourt:
Please, Kostas244 or someone... Anyone still have the previous version of C ROM with 3G?

Kostas remove the previous link and i need that ROM.... can anyone please upload that ROM???

I was testing that stuff of Task 29 and i can't boot my phone with new Kostas244 ROM... But with the previous i can... at least i could and i want to test if i can boot again with the previous version of C ROM with 3G...

Please...anyone...?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
Where did you find the 3g version of C2?

I never made this version.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] sbettencourt:
I don't understand what i donne wrong in very here but it's ok... i already killed my HTC so ignore what i asked...

But who talk about C2 was me?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ahkuiper:
Need help pleezzz.

I want to flash my Polaris, but it got stuck on 0%, and comes with error 262.

To flash my rom what do I have to do.

Must I first run HardSPL bevore i can updat my rom?

My current ROM: 3.13.405.0 WWE

Radio version: 1.59.42.15

Protocol version: 25.85.30.07H
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
yes... :)

1. Flash Hard Spl ( it´s a must have to flash roms)

2. flash original Rom + hard reset if you see the calibration screen

3. flash kostas rom+ hard reset if you see the calibration screen

4. maybe a other radio like 1.59.46.12

it´s the best way i think :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Ronok:
I found this comparison:

http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/2009/12/03/difference-between-opera-mobile-10-and-opera-mini-5

more technical:

http://opera.perm.ru/?set=opera&nm=omvsom

I guess I'll be using both. Mobile at home and mini on the road.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Innersense:
great links Ronok thanks. Help to understand, but personaly doesent help me to decide.

I personaly was very hapy with the speed and stability of Opera Mobile 10 even from the beta versions.

Its oviesly in use that Opera Mini is even faster but laks of some thinks. I understand that Kostas recoments Opera Mini for Polaris because its light and fast but i thinks its a personal desition for everybody to decide against Opera Mobile. Will test them and see in real life use.

which rom for weather on homescreen ??

Dear Kostas

which of your roms shows weather in homescreen and does updates also ?

regards

o2-lover
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] skumara:
o2-lover: version B and C with manilla 2d lol:)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] o2-lover:
version b and version c not showing weather

i am currently using version B and it does not show weather on homescreen. i have O2 XDA Orbit 2.

it says : 'TAP TO UPDATE WEATHER'. when i do, the settings window comes up. then i click on UPDATE NOW. the homescreen comes back and it says: NO WEATHER DATA AVAILABLE.

today i am downloading the version B 3g rom again. perhaps it has been updated with some fix.

Volume Button Broke - any solution?

Hello Kostas! :rolleyes:

Great ROMS, i love manila so still in A and B (C a bit jaggy)

i accidentaly broke my volume slider button and i am trying to find a way to replace it. i currently use setvolume 0.80 but it keeps jumping to full volume without prediction. also no in-call control....

can you help me? how can i program other buttons as volume for htc volume?

any suggestions?

thank you for great ROM ever made for cruise, and i tried all here....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Petrakeas:
Kostas your C roms lacks the shortcut for displaying missed calls with time at the right. The only way to watch the missed calls are when you have one new or by using contacts.

So i use this little exe and I set a hardware button for it. If u like, you could use it in a following version
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Alex-V:
or use your *.exe and set it in m2dc as left/right softkey :)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] skumara:
User reveiw

I used Kostas ROM for a month.

I think that this ROM is fast and stable. I can surf all the website ok. When using opera tabbed browsing, system speed reduces significantly.

bugs:

1. When dialing numbers in dial pad, usually a list of possible contacs will appear in screen. In D3S this does not happen. In kostas B4 version this works fine.

2. In the list of recent calls I was unable to group similar numbers. If I dial number A 10 times, the number A appear in recent calls 10times. It will be better if I can group repeated numbers so the list look shorter.

overall i prefer D3S agaist all the other rom in XDA because it has a lot of free memory for web surfing and multitasking.

Thank you kostas244.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] o2-lover:
to kostas - using ROM version B final - problems

Dear Kostas

i have been using your version B rom for sometimes. i was only facing 2 problems which were:

no weather on homescreen

finger keyboard installing but not working.

today i have downloaded your final version of B rom and did the ROM update utility on it, went through the procedure. after it finished, the phone restarted on its own.

then there was the alignment screen. i did that. then i also did a soft-reset to the phone.

even now those 2 problems are still there. can you please guide me here??

thanks

This looks fantastic, just downloaded & flashed & it looks great will let you know more when I have had a chance to play around with but but in the meantime thank you for all your time & effort! :D:D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
This is not a bug ....it works only with the Htc's phone canvas.(See first post if you want it, but it's only 2g).

Unfortunately doesn't work with this 3g dialer...im searcing for it......thanks...... i will post it in bugs section.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] naxos:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] duke_mus:
I really liked this rom but can´t make it work with my kenwood bluetooth radio car.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
Other roms work with this bluetooth?? Did you check it??
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bziuk:
Thanks. Works like a charm for me.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] drPT:
I have installed this ROM with Radio 1.59.46.12. My initial reaction was a full surprise with the responsiveness of the user interface, and overall phone speed. It is now A LOT faster than before, without any comparison.

I haven't tested everything yet, but here goes my report (and my problems):

1- GPS - not tested

2- Bluetooth pairing with hands-free devices - didn't work with my car Blue&Me system

3- Camera - works and is faster than before

4- ActiveSync sync with Outlook over bluetooth - didn't work (can't pair with computer)

5- ActiveSync sync with Outlook over USB - works

6- 3G Call - works

7- Wireless - works, and seems a lot faster

8- Radio FM - works

9- GMS calls - works

When I try to pair phone's bluetooth with the computer, the phone finds the computer's bluetooth, it asks for authentication. I put the same pin code in both sides, and it seems to pair. But then when I go to the bluetooth screen on the phone, it shows "disconnected". If I try to connect I get an error saying that either the Pin is wrong, or a different problem occurred.

So I can't pair with the computer.

When I try to pair phone's bluetooth with my car Blue&Me, the phone can find the car. I put the PIN showed by the car on the phone, and the pairing works. But then, when I try to make a call, I can't hear no sound at all. After that, the phone is without sound (even if I turn bluetooth of), and I have to reboot the phone.

With my previous ROM I could make at least one call with sound on my car Blue&Me. After that call, I would end up without sound.

Do you have any suggestions that might help solving both problems? I really like this ROM - I think it's the best I've tried - and I would like to keep using it, but I need to solve both problems.

Thanks,

JS
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
@drPT

That is the reason that i have not bluetooh car kit in my car and also i have not bluetooth in my pc for synch.

Imagine ,that in this rom i have put inside, the original HTC files for bluetooth to avoid these combatibility issues but unfortunately i didn't make it.

It's one thing that we must learn to live with, or we will must change our devices.

Sorry about that.....i will search for it but it's too difficult for me because i don't have the devices (bt carkit, bt in my pc)....maybe someone else can check it and tell us the results.:confused:
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] drPT:
Do you think that trying a different radio might help? Or it has nothing to do with the radio ?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
No .....wait ...i found a laptop with bluetooth... in a few minutes i will tell you:)

Yes....It's working..synchronized complete......all contacts and appoiments are in the laptop....

maybe you should try again.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] duke_mus:
I tried three different radios and no way

I go back to gullum TF2D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] drPT:
Which Radio are you using?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
1.59.46.12...but its not radio fault...i don't know...i've tried in one laptop and works...i think im lucky today:D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
You should try to install the original HTC rom and then this one..as the last chance..:o
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] drPT:
Ok, I will try that. Thanks for the tips, and keep doing that excellent work! ;)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] amin 3:
this rom is perfect for now 4 days of use except:

I think i have a problem with opera

it always crash,freeze and hang my device and i tried some other versions but the problem still there

i did hard spl my device ,and hard reset it after flashing the rom i`m using radio1.59.46.12

anybody has a solution?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
No problem with this opera...I don't know if you tried other versions because latest versions have many problems with 23016 builds.

You may try to go to opera settings/advanced and disable plug ins.

Also check in the showcase settings into the tools folder if the"close button on right " is enabled.

This opera working good 100% because im using it every day a lot of hours.....without

crashing or anything else...that's all:)
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bakaq:
Hi @kostas244,

Just sharing my experience using your ROM for about 3 days now:-

All these applications works fine:-

1. Opera.

2. Garmin XT v5.00.20w, GoogleMaps and GPS/QuickGPS.

3. Core Player v1.35.

4. WiFi.

5. Email on Exchange Server.

6. Gmail.

7. Manila.

8. You Tube & streams T-PDA.

9. Camera & Album.

10.Bluetooth headset (model "i-Tech").

11.ActiveSync over USB.

12.Phone calls incoming/outgoing ok...

13.MS mobile office

Never used/tested yet:-

1. ActiveSync over Bluetooth.

2. Voice recorder.

3. IE - never liked it anyway...:D

4. facebook.

5. FM radio and some other applications which comes with the ROM.

All going well thus far, its a stable ROM and no crashes or hang problem yet on normal use. Except that when I use cleanRAM (level 2), "Showcase" closes and doesn't re-initiate even though enabling "start menu", and sometimes device hangs while running clean RAM, so has to SR and its ok after reboot...

Battery consumption looks normal to me & doesn't drain abnormally, I'm a heavy user on phone and browsing....

One thing I notice is when taskbar is pressed, the battery meter shown on 10% and the icon shows 1% increment....

Good work @kostas244....Thanks & Cheers:)...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Innersense:
got one small problem...

since i have flashed d3s 3g opera mini favorites bookmarks have not synchronized with opera link, only the 9 links in speed dial.

is that normal;

i have tryed to log out and log in again but nothing hapens.

by the way i have tryed to sync my phone with outlook 2010x64 and faild... due to compatibility issues as i have found later on the net. looking forward for wmdc, but still microsoft stuff sucks.

Add on Touch keyPad but can't function

Dear Kostas,

I'd installed HTC's Touch Key Pad but can't seem to function though I'd selected it many times. Even I installed the finger keyboard that you'd provided also can't seem to function other than the original keyboard you'd placed in.

any ideas? Having headache here cos the keyboard is tooo small for me to type anything... :(
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kostas244:
Upgrade your radio version...you must use 1.59.xx.xx version.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] evasam:
Dear Kostas,

I'd installed your A1 ROM and I love it to the max. Thanks so much for your effort.

However, im having few questions here.

1. HTC does not support EMS? I can't seem to view any smileys on my sms.

2. Is there possibility to increase phone's RAM as my touch cruise only serve 128MB of RAM. If I run Skype or Msn it will lag really bad... wonder if there's any other ways. I'd installed MemoryUp to clear of the memory, yet, I can't seem to use Programmes that's using huge memory though I have a 4GB storage card and stored all programmes there.

Having some headache here trying to make my phone more efficient but could not due to the RAM problem. Hope you could help me with something.

Thanks and have a blessed day!

Kostas244 WM6.5 ROM - Version A1

Kostas244 is one of the fastest ROMs I have tried. I am happy with version A1 because it does not have on the Home Screen annoying weather which is useless in my predictable climate and the slow flip clock. Also, Call History is on Home screen. M2D returns to home screen on pressing End key. Integration of Showcase on the top bar is good to switch between programs or shut them down. Unfortunately, it does not take away the common need to soft reset device once in a while. Generally, this is a great ROM. Thanks, Kostas244.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] BulldozerPT:
Now running Kostas244_ROM2g_23541_D3S

I also tested 3G version but dialer has some weird bugs (and the number preview list is way too small). So I've switched to 2G version.

So far I'm impressed. Very fast and stable.

Thanks and keep the good work.
