Mikisu is dead in development, but not in practice. It is a very easy to use app. It works easily for generating wifi and e-mail .xml files.

You can find the Skype cab for WM if you do a bit of Googling. I use it occasionally, but it takes so long to connect, I often just forget about it. I don't really use any other SIP. Video calls aren't really my thing.

There are plenty of tutorials on how to use XDA_UC. JVH3 has written a couple of different posts on it. There are quite a few threads about it as well. After a flash, I'm normally up and running in about 10-15 minutes after the device boots for the first time. It is certainly worth your time to learn to use it. When I first started flashing without it, I would spend around an hour or so setting everything up.

Something else that will help you as well as the rest of us helping you would be to go into User CP and set up your signature with your ROM/radio versions. It's really helpful in that you won't have to post it each time when you need help.

Thanks Hefman, you were right after all!

Although CHTS was disabled, it caused G3 to turn on after every reboot or Sense restart.

Because there was no option to remove the cooked-in CHTS, I re-installed CHTS and removed it again, now G3 stays off after a reboot.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Piet
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Frank_071:
Yeah, but I thought it would generate the XMLs ;) While searching for the answer how ("not") I found dead links.

Impressive... I found several threads, but information seems a bit scattered. I was planning not to update my ROM that often, but it seems that I have to now (with current BT problems and Cookie still being beta). So I'll invest some time.

Should be there now. Thanks for the tip

Regards!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Were you not able to get Mikisu working properly? I had no problem with it. I can upload it for you, if you need.

As for XDA_UC tutorials, JVH3 has a nice one HERE.

For the Bluetooth problems, if you really need it, it seems you have no choice but to move to another language until NRG updates the Dutch ones. I would bet that he puts out a new one in a couple of days. He's normally pretty good about fixing issues as they arise.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Frank_071:
Well, it is working, but I need to insert all elements by hand - I thought it would extract the information from registry or other sources. Probably my mistake.

That is a very helpful one, thanks!

Hope NRG picks up some other hickups I found and I'll wait patiently ;-)

Regards!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Well, you only have to enter it the one time. After that, you just drop it in your XDA_UC folder and you're all done! It sets everything up from the .xml! Pretty nifty, eh?

If you find mistakes and glitches in the ROMs, post them here first to see if anyone has a helpful tip for you or a fix. If no one has a fix, you can send your feedback to mmalka via PM on this site, or NRG's Twitter page.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
So you've tried several ROMs and it still happens ? Have you tried a stock ROM ? If not, then try that.

If it happens on the stock ROM too, then sorry but it's almost certainly a hardware problem - e.g. a bad solder connection/wire that stops working based on heat, or something like that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
The answer was also on the FAQ.

I am curious: why a lot of people don't seem to read the FAQ?

How could I improve it so that people read it before asking?

Or better yet, PM the bug to me, and I will add it to the bug log. The FAQ and my sig below have the instructions on how to properly report a bug.

Freezing Issues FYI

I haven’t seen reference to this after reading the last 7 or 8 pages so I thought I’d throw it out there as an FYI. While using 21680 with CHT 2.0 cooked in, 21680 Standard with CHT 2.0 added on, and using 21680 Standard by itself, I have been experiencing odd screen freezes requiring a reset to clear. At first, while using the ROM with CHT cooked in, I though it involved the Lock function (the standard Sense Lock, not the CHT Lock) because it first locked up after receiving a call. But then I experienced other screen freezes just navigating around.

Next, I tried the Standard 21680 ROM and installed CHT 2.0 separately (I read some had better performance doing it that way), but I had similar screen freezes. Lastly, I uninstalled CHT and have been running just the 21680 Standard ROM. (My gosh!! Does the standard Sense 2.5 seem dull after using CHT for so long!) Unfortunately, I am still getting screen freezes.

The freezes

most

often happen when going from home to some other tab, then quickly back again. But I did also experience the freeze after receiving the phone call while Locked, and a delay when going to landscape to send a text message that was so long that I thought it was frozen (easily 10 to 12 seconds to render correctly).

Yes, I Task 29 every time and I don’t add a bunch of apps that should interfere. I don’t get to devote blocks of time during the week to work on this but I’m still trying. If I can find a pattern, I will report back. I next want to re-flash the Standard ROM all by itself (rather than simply uninstalling CHT) to see if that affects the freezes. At the moment, it seems to me like something within the 21680 version itself could the culprit, but I need to totally isolate it to be sure. (BTW, I have been VERY fortunate in that I have rarely experienced freezes using any of the dozens of Energy ROMs I’ve tried over the last 10 months even when nearly everybody else was, so this has been puzzling to me.)

Thanks,

Microsoft My Phone

OK, so My Phone is supposed to be better than PIM backup and I'm getting some weird problems when I restore with PIM backup so wanted to start using My Phone.

It has the option to use your existing Windows Live ID, using a hotmail, msn, live, or other. So when you select other, and type in your email thinking you will get a domain prompt at some next step, but you can't go to the next step. The sign in button won't activate. If you type in your full email address in the bar, it will allow you to use the sign in button but still won't work - saying the email is invalid. I'm currently on Windows Live right now, logged in to Windows live from Opera on my phone, all using my non-MS email address. Anyone have any idea why can't I use it to log in to this one service when they clearly give you the option to do so?

I know that the simple workaround is to just create a new email/live account, but why should I have two when I have one perfectly good one that works everywhere else? I don't want to have to open yet another email account for the specific purpose of this service.

Any other suggestions?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SlyMaelstrom:
I don't understand the confusion. The Windows key that is at the bottom of the 6.5.3 build has nothing to do with QMenu. QMenu simply assigns itself to that button and overrides the original start menu (which it doesn't even have to do), but regardless when someone says move QMenu, I don't know how the assumption isn't the "activation area" (which to me is synonymous to "the menu itself", I mean let's look at the definition of a menu). As for my rude response... I find a bit of condescending sarcasm entirely reasonable considering his reply. It's one thing to reply to sub-thread without starting from the original post; It's a whole other thing when you insult someone while incorrectly replying.

That said, I'm about 30% done on re-developing a QMenu replacement, so I won't bother hunting down the source code or wasting any more effort attempting to fix it up. If I get some time this week, I should have it by the end of next weekend. It's really not a complicated application and there is plenty of room for advancement. I'll keep everyone in the loop if it turns out to be satisfactory, but the goal of it is to have a cleaner, more Windows 7/Vista style start menu integrated into Windows Mobile.

Sorry. Did the linked file open from the bottom?

For a start menu replacement, you might want to check out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=795393

Unfortunately for me, it fails with a .NET error shortly after it starts. However, the developer says he will release an update soon.

For now, I'm using this as a start menu replacement:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=711914&page=14

It works pretty good, except I would like a darker background. A word of advice: be sure to program Ameba with the correct program and arguments string BEFORE running the .cab. Otherwise, you won't be able to get to the start menu.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SlyMaelstrom:
Ah, she... how did I not derive that from the name piaqt? Silly me.

While I didn't install the application from the link provided, it appears to only allow horizontal movement, which, again, is not what I'm looking for. I don't expect you to know the difference this time, either. If it does indeed allow for vertical movement, the author does a hell of a job explaining so in the description and seeing as how it doesn't circumvent other short-comings of QMenu, I'd say it's not worth my time to install.

Feel free to reply when you have something truly useful to sug... actually, I take that back... just stop replying to me. The quote below is sensible enough for me to pretend you never even existed. Ah... the world does feel better, now.

Thanks, I'll check these out when I get home. These aren't quite what I'm looking for from the screenshots, but they still look worth an install just to check it out. The reason I'm looking for a non-fullscreen menu is because I like the idea of clicking out of the menu area to close it (as one might be used to on a desktop).

skinned bars?

Hey guys , I was playing around with the wallpapers and such in the new sep 29 rom and tried skinning the bars. Problem is i cant get the softkey bar to skin period and beyond that i like the energy look anyway. So now my problem is that I can't get the bars to revert back to stock energy look. Any ideas? TIA

RE: Keyboard Stops After a Few Minutes (follow-up)

Steviewevie...

I have not put a stock ROM back on to see mainly because the May 28 ROM works without fail, which lead me to believe its a software issue vice a hardware one. Something I had not done previously until last night was Task 29 before a new ROM install. However I went back a performed Task 29, then loaded the new ROM and all seemed well, until now... This morning it's back to the same bag of tricksm the keyboard just stops working as if it doesn't exist. Could this be something related to Career Provisioning or other conflicts since it's a Tilt 2 keyboard vice a TP2 one? I know I've seen a few others with Tilt 2's posing the same question on here, and Task 29 seemed to be the only known solution thus far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J_M_H:
My biggest objection to Quickmenu is that the menu list overlaps (and you must press "More" at the bottom) rather than scrolls. If you come up with a Quickmenu like app that has a scrolling program list, I'd be interested in trying it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Basically you would have to have it as a flashing pop-up ad on every single page. Either that, or have a scantly clad individual read it to each user in the homes. We're just going to have to continue redirecting folks as always.

This is true. My mistake. I can only blame my exhaustion for not listing you. In any case, I've updated the post to reflect this.

You need a Windows Live e-mail address to use the My Phone service. It takes five minutes to get one. You don't have to use it for anything else, but that is your problem. Just because it says "other" doesn't mean Microsoft finally grew a heart and is going to not be a proprietary monster anymore. :D

While your first heated response was warranted, this one was not. Calm down and find another place to vent. This is not the place for it. Posting replies like that are the quickest way to have no one bother to help you, or to receive a moderators undivided attention. Don't sweat the small stuff. :)

Indeed. That would be great. I think we could all get behind that. Non-overlapping menus and scrolling lists are pretty much the only things on QuickMenu that I'm not fond of. I've got my fingers crossed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jedah:
That's strange. In all the ROMs I've tried, HD Tweak has worked pretty well for me. I always set mine to disconnect after 5 minutes. Do you have something else on that may turn the data back on (weather, email, facebook tab, etc)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm about to flash the stock T-Mobile ROM to go and show my device to employees at the store to see about a warranty exchange. I'm not thrilled about this.

The top portion of the phone overlaps the bottom when closed on the volume rocker side. It's only by a millimeter or two, but it is very noticeable while holding the device. Also, a new one may help solve the problem with my GPS taking 10 minutes to get a lock.

We'll see what happens when I throw this all back together. I'm so depressed to be losing my beautiful GTX theme. I think I'll install it over TF3D. Maybe put in CHT as well. Maybe I should just get this over with, so I can be back to Energy sooner...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SlyMaelstrom:
Agreed. The one I'm developing, as I said, is in the style of Windows 7 and Windows Vista. That is to say, instead of context menus, I simply use one list with a very clear back button at the bottom. So you open it up, you have your pinned items and recent items, you hit the "All Programs" button, it opens your programs list and as you traverse through the folders that "All Programs" button acts as a "Back" button to traverse up a level in the directory string. Ideally I want it to look and feel as much like the Windows start menu as I can. This includes the search bar, the 'pinned' items, and the lock and shut-down buttons. Ideally, it will be fully skin-able so that people can use it with their different Windows themes.

I don't want to get people excited about this because I have a very bad habit of not finishing what I start... So I'll shut up now and you'll hear more about this once it is more complete.

I don't thinks a Windows Live e-mail address is needed. I use my yahoo e-mail address and I can access MS MyPhone without any problems. What you need is to register your e-mail address (create a Windows Live Id) in order to use MS services.

"Use an email address you already have

You can use any existing email address from any email provider when you create your credentials for Windows Live ID. Then you can use those credentials to sign in to any Windows Live ID site."

"Use Windows Live ID to sign in to MSN Messenger, MSN Hotmail, MSN Music, and other sites and services! Windows Live ID works with Passport Network sites."

Hi, I just wanted to do a quick follow up on my memory leak issue. I earlier posted on having the leak with the 9-29 cht rom using 6.5.3 and have since resolved the issue. I had to reflash the rom and perform a hard reset twice immediately after installing. The Leak Is Gone!!!!!!!! :)

4 Column Porgram tab and retractable slider / quick all programs access

I recommend installing the program tab with the 4 column mod.

It gives you 32 links to programs, in addition to the one's that Cookie gives you.

Plus, it gives you finger friendly access to all your porgrams.

Please read the directions in the thread and post any questions about it in that thread.

Using the retractable slider, the tab directly in the middle is immediately selected, so by positioning this correctly, you can give yourself very quick access to it.

That's what I'm guessing as the top portion wobbles a bit when it is flipped up at the nice viewing angle. Either way, they're sending me a new one in a couple of days. T-Mobile was even nice enough to upgrade my shipping to express and waive the shipping cost all together after hearing my sob story. I love this company. :D

I bought mine from ebay as well. You could have registered it with the carrier when you bought it. There are lots of places that sell them other than the carriers, so they generally don't mind covering them as long as you are using their own branded device. If I want to have 3G data speeds, I don't have much choice other than to use the T-Mobile branded one.

I've been using FF Ultimate aGPS Tweak_supl.google_Generic.cab by your recommendation for a good many months now. It isn't helping any. The stock ROM is having the same problem with getting a lock, though. I'm just excited about getting a new TP2!

I discovered it about a year ago, used it to build my XML file and have been using the same file since then. It automatically sets up my corporate Exchange account, 2 gmail accounts and 3 wifi WPA connections in seconds with no intervention. Marvelous program.

Not to disagree with you, but I would like to point out that there are different "flavors" of XDA_UC, each slightly different and having slightly different capabilities. I originally started with Sashimi and Makisu, but didn't want to stay with programs that were in effect dead and had no support for potential bugs. (like the one that started with WM 6.5.3) I have now finally settled on benjamminzIS version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684865) which is heavily based on Sashimi. I burn new ROMs about 3-4 times a week and setup now runs automatically and I am all set up within 15 minutes including all my calendar, contacts, mail and connections. I also use NRGs setting saver so even my BT pairings are restored. About the only thing that I still have to restore manually is my CHT settings and that is only because he hasn't updated to V2 yet. (V1.8.5 worked without any problems).

If you plan on playing around a lot with diff. ROMS, XDA_UC in one of its flavors is a MUST!!!!

Manila Today Page no longer working ok

Hi guys!

The Manila Today Page is no longer working correctly with this ROM version. After installing MTP, the Today page is not displayed. It is present in the re-arrange tabs option and you can move the page up and down there, but it's never visible in Sense. The only way to make MTP work is to select one of the default pages (like the Stock page) to host the Today plug-ins.

First I thought it was related to the CHT 2.0 version, but someone in the MTP 0.5.0.2 thread stated that it's working for him, together with the latest CHT version...

Does anybody know where to look for a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Piet

Update

I have installed CHT 1.8 on this ROM, still no MTP page, so it's definitly related to this ROM...

Ok, never used Sashimi or XDA_UC before but seeing all the good reviews I think I need to give it a go. One of the main things I want to backup to restore is my Weather Cities...

Set up your weather cities and other settings and then save the following registry keys:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

Weather.CityList

Weather.PostFirstRun

Weather.Fahrenheit

WorldClock.CityList

Weather.AutoDownloadInterval

Weather.EnableCurrentLocation

and the following file:

\Windows\2330fc3c_manila

You can do that using a program like Sashimi or SX4_Backup. Flash your new ROM and use the programs to restore your settings. All of your custom weather cites should be restored.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
Ohh nice, thanks for the info... I figured out the file to backup to save the cities so I don't have to reinsert them but didn't know how to save the list in Sense and the settings... Thanks!
