Nope nothing wrong with the touch buttons, that's probably caused because you disabled biotouch.

Thank you for your effort anyway. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fusel Wusel:
So how can I solve this problem? :confused:

Maybe I will try a hard reset but I do not believe this would solve it...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Oemie:
O wow, then i truly wanna apologize!

Because it wasn't meant that rude.

I appreciate your work and the work of your team very, very much.:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I'm very sorry but I don't know what you installed or what you did.

You keep coming back to me but I have no solution for you.

I do have a sound on incoming sms. :confused:

Edit;

Start\Settings\menu\all settings\Sounds & Notifications\Notifications

Here you can pick any notification you like.

Also in Manila settings\Sounds and notifications you can set notification sounds.

I have sound on E-mail and SMS

i use this --> [TUTORIAL] Changing Program's Icon
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xet:
thank you very much !!

now is there a way to have 4 column in start menu instead of three ? :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] omasis:
There you go
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] omasis:
Yep it's definitely because of this fix. Maybe someone with more programming skills could look into this biotouch.exe and the one in your rom. There has to be something wrong.

For now you have to choose between kinetic scrolling or the buttons :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bruns86:
The cab file for the 4 column start menu don't work for me!!

I also have an .cpr file, but I can't copy into the windows directory?

I have no rights to copy it??

@Laurentius26:

I love the ROM, very fast and stable! Using it for 3 days now and it didn't freeze!!! Keep up the good work Laurentius26!!!!! :D :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spike™:
me either... :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
There's nothing wrong with the biotouch I use as it's default Blackstone and coming from the latest 1.59 shipped rom.

The Biotouch is needed to make the buttons work on Blackstone.

If you have a look in one of the HTC Leo sources you will notice there isn't a Biotouchdriver. ;)

This brings us back to kinetic I think and probably HTC Leo uses a different kind of TFlow. :D

Please can you stop throwing stuff into the rom thread here you didn't test?

Thank you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fusel Wusel:
Guess what I did! ;)

But ok. I did a hardreset right now. Sound is working. Then I ran Sashimi to install my settings and cabs and sound is gone. Hm, now I'll have to figure out which cab it is, that does this...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thank you very much for verifying this and telling us.

Very kind, I'm very happy you have sound now. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Very nice tip Spike, thank you. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeroenHTC:
Yup, I mean e-mails; I am receiving them but just not at the same moment they arrive at Exchange. It takes a while to show them on the phone while Outlook / Mail (mac) etc. receive them instantly.

This used to work on the 2.1 roms.

The active sync settings are set to "as they arrive" so that should be ok.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Intresting, I realised that too. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] D8LOM:
As Leo explained several times, there is no problem with sound! the email notification was on silent when I flashed this ROM but you need to change it to a desired alert or rington.:rolleyes:

Follow:-

Start\Settings\menu\all settings\Sounds & Notifications\Notifications
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jeroenHTC:
I just installed Neo's driverpack and the improvement in graphics and speed is really noticeable. Strange thing also, suddenly e-mails do arrive almost instantly now.

Did not change anything else; only disabled manilla; installed Neo's driverpack; reboot. Enable Manilla and rebooted again.

Dutch: Nu breekt mijn klomp :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] D8LOM:
You need to install all your apps by one-by-one just to find at which one is causing this sound problem.

Thanks for this info, I'll be aware and confirm if I have this issue tomorrow, when I start recieving emails for work. I only flashed this ROM on Friday night and obviously I don't get any work emails over the weekend.;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
A tip. :)

Never used it but just found it because a user was having problems with the automatic screenlock,

it's awsom and very usefull I think to protect your data.

In Manila settings tab security\Phone lock and set a pincode.

I think it's awsom. :)

Grtz, Leo

L26 and dusk theme?

hi laurentius,

nice rom you cooked;) stable for me so far.

i just failed to get the dusk theme running satisfactory with this rom. everything is skinned nicely & dark (my personal taste is not quite matched with the normal colorful rom) but the manila menue lists (like album, all people etc.) feature black text on black background now :eek:

so i had to uninstall dusk for now.

so: has anybody success with running the dusk theme on this l26 rom? i used "Dusk Manila 2.5 Evolution v2.0", not the ones for" the newest builds".
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] D8LOM:
Thanks Leo, but I've been using this function since the Diamond days.;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] D8LOM:
Thanks Leo, but I've been using this function since the Kaiser days.;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spike™:
i'm quite sure none of them work, or at least work very well,

all you can do is try, mate
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fusel Wusel:
Ok, got it!

Changing HKCU/MUI/CurLang to 407 for german language in manila has the effect that there is no sound/vibration for sms any more. Changing it back to 409 solves the problem! :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Auxarius:
Thanks for reply, I'm using this feature as 'temporary' solution for all that 6.5 time (so it's quite a while ;) ) but it's not really what I'm looking for :<.

There's no auto-lock on standby, and typing pin each time it does lock also isn't that convenient ;)

Thanks for help tho, and again congrats on excellent rom :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Great find my friend,

I'm working on a new update with a updated Manila, hopefully this will be fixed for you in next version. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fusel Wusel:
Looking forward to this :D Would be nice if it works!

But well, if it doesn't work is not that big problem. Manila in german language is somehow a win of comfort and aesthetics but not a must have.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bulldog:
I confirm this as well.. receiving mail in the device is about 3-5min delayed . Furthermore sometimes some emails will be send double.

...and I see you more like a cat :D:D:D

About the video, here you are:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYPVeb94QDg
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] The Boss:
It is because when chaning the manila language file, it also change the manila sounds in some way. If you change the language, you have to put the manila language sounds in the windows directory.

I allways change manila to Danish and then I copy the danish sound files to the windows directory. Then I got sound again. I have the manila files in danish, but that wont help you:D

But try seach for the german language files. It is here in the rom forum somewhere.

EDIT: Here are the files for German. Copy all files to Windows directory and softreset. Then it schould work. Try it.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Auxarius:
Unfortunately this messes up backlight :( Tried it already :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eddyther:
It isn't!!!

That's the point. It is going very slow. You can see that it takes a lot longer that all the other weather animations.

Edited:See the diference between th cloudy one (fast) and the shiny one (slow)

It also affects to the fluidity of the HD (only the time the animation is playing)

I had few other 6.5 roms and the animation was faster.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fusel Wusel:
Thanks to both of you! I will try it. Didn't know this was neccessary, because the last roms I used had those files in it I think.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Not really, I posted it the same time as your edit to your original post :p:D

Considering the terrible data speeds here in SA, it's a wonder I can function at all ;). I was complaining to Fallen Spartan on Friday that it takes me anything between 1:30 - 3:00 hours just to download a rom.

thank you very much !!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] navahoo:
after a whole weekend of flashing and reseting, i´ve just figured out that my smartwatchm software crashes are caused by manila 2.5 somehow.

i´ve tried several 6.1 and 6.5 roms incl the old and the new manila and my prob only occurs with manila 2.5!?! :confused:

pretty sad as this v3 i like the most, but as i´m used to my sony watch, i´ve just flashed another rom and hope this prob wil be solved by the time itself... :(

That's a pitty to hear my friend. :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HorstDCC:
unexpected block: don't do this

Hello,

After 21 rounds of meticulously starting over I've ascertained the following:

1. TimeTTracker MX2 (R9) is incompatible with winmobile 6.5. Luckily R&F Consulting released an update and adverstised it this weekend.

As a footnote that might prove relevant in other situations: the fact that the incompatibility did not show up -even with extensive use- until the SIM card was inserted, fooled me and took me a few extra rounds to be certain.

The core lesson

:

2. Do not modify data on the phone that is also synced while being connected via USB when using this ROM!

After eleven procedures that were identical up to step 22, I started to question those 22 first steps. I proceeded to test (6 rounds) the ROM without the SIM and then started to take synchronisation back into the equation. Not to bother you with the detailed steps:

Whenever I'm still adapting data -for instance the contacts- while connected via USB and the scheduled sync catches up with me, I'm screwed.

On the interface level: most of the times I got a warning on the PC that 'the object was in use'; sometimes I got a message on the pda that something occured so that the server required to sync everything anew -which never worked-. But in all cases I got corrupt shortcuts/links. At this stage the interface on the blackstone still presented a navigatable set of screens and icons, but most of them would respond to a click with "...corrupt ...part of the program missing...". Resetting by any means resulted in a hang on the "smart mobility" screen showing the info in red below.

Trying to reset using the button DURING the startup after hang, sometimes got me to the screen with the face ... but then it simply stopped there. I did not test this extensively because my focus was on finding the culprit that prohibited me from using the ROM in my way. Obviously I did not count these experiments in my 21 rounds nor did I include them in my notes.

Apart from the observations posted earlier I can add that "my location" is determined in a by-any-means-possible approach. Whatever connection gets your coordinates first will set my location.

Updating the wheather however only works -in my case!- when connected via Wifi or USB, not via Px Internet. This might be due to my real-world location. (I'm ambulant again, so I will test this out in the days to come.)

My blackstone is currently stable and fast with all the modifications that I want. It's my behaviour that is adapted slightly.

I was not able yet to ascertain whether restoring from a PIM Backup works correctly. I would appretiate anybody posting success or failure on this. It will help us decide whether it is worth making backups with PIM Backup.

With a tired smile I can state that this is definitely the most trouble I ever went through for a ROM. So Leo, this a compliment.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] navahoo:
it really is! but i just went back to your good, old 6.1 v3.2, so i´m still yours! ;)

is there any chance you´ll bring up a 6.5 with the final 2.1 manila?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eddyther:
PIM backup is making troubles with 6.5

it seems due to to HTC messaging.(but I don't know if this ROM version has it enabled by default)

It also sems that "Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.CAB" solves the problem.

After the backup, the cab can be unistalled.

But, like I said, it seems. I didn't tried it by myself. Is why i don't want to post the cab, that you will find easily in XDA

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=556485&highlight=fullscreen+manila+cab+blackstone

4 colums in a row

I'd like to change to 4 columns in a row,

but couldn't find a working solution with this rom.

can s.o. help, please?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Svegetto:
Excellent ROM Laurentius26 + testers.

I have two other things to mention about contacts misbehaving besides what I posted earlier about not being able to add the same contact twice to favorites (once as a 'call mobile' and again as a 'send sms' or anything else).

1) Can someone plz confirm that it takes about 3 seconds to open 'edit contact' in a manila contact card and then it takes around 10 seconds to 'close' the contact by hitting done (even if no changes were made). I'm guessing this might be due to manila saving all changes one by one instead of checking if changes were actually made, but maybe I just have a bad flash.

2) Most of my 'favorites' contacts are linked with facebook and I have their facebook profile picture set as the manile/phone profile picture. However, the pictures seem to randomly be reassigned to other contacts. Sometimes the profile pictures will swap between two contacts, other times two contacts will have the same picture, and other times other such things will happen. When the contact pic is wrong on the favorites tab, it's wrong throughout all of manila except the 'edit contact' screen which is where you have to go in order to 'reset' it to the proper picture by hitting 'done.'

Has anyone else experienced this or is able to try to reproduce it?

Note: I have the 2hour auto update facebook enabled, so I will try to disable that to see if it fixes the problem.

PS. I saw people posted a couple time that their exchange server seems to be delayed. I have my hd sync with gmail via active sync and it does seem a bit slow, but I'll test more to make sure.

will be staying with this rom till at least v4 comes out. very fast, very stable.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wind79:
I keep having problem with this rom. After like a few hours of use, the interface becomes slow and I can't launch some of the applications. After that if I do a reset, the OS will not boot up anymore and will be stuck. Everything is working fine if I switch back to the 3.55 version.

high battery usage

Hi everyone

After using this rom for a while i have to say it is indeed a pretty fast and eye candy rom.

There is one thing that is bothering me though. The high battery usage. Is anyone else here reporting such a thing? In 20mins i lost about 10% and it keeps dropping!

If anyone can get back to me about this that would be appreciated :D

Regards
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Maybe in futher but atm we are testing with a new Manila 2.5 source and I like to finish that first.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thank you. :)

I keep advising to test the rom for a few days without installing anything but only configure what is needed, this rom has everything on board!

If you do find something during this period at least you know it's the rom.

If you do need to install some software it's advisable to do it one by one.

Install a app and test for a day, if everything still function fine that's good, if not then at least you know where it's coming from.

Install the second app you need with same procedure...

This avoids a lot of problems...

It's impossible to test all software on the rom myself and it's also impossible that all software is compatible, even on a shipped rom it's possible some software is not compatible and will give you issues....

Grtz, Leo :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HorstDCC:
After my full time usage the past three days I can state that the battery life is actually quite good. There was no need to re-charge even when using it 8 hours straight. And letting it lie on standby resulted in 1% drop after 7 hours or so.

Only when on WiFi I noticed that after half an hour the indicator would have dropped 10%, but I consider this to be OK.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HorstDCC:
Over all 22 (yes, one more) installs I've had a few where it took 5-6 seconds to be 'done' editing a contact. Opening it allways took the same amount of time: slightly under 3 seconds.

I have the same conditions but not the symptoms you mention. Additionaly I also linked my outlook contacts with facebook via an outlook ADD-IN once. I didn't like the ADD-IN but the pictures stayed. I still re-link them to facebook on the blackstone to get the updates and other profile information. But not once I got the wrong pic on the right perp.

keep @ it

to steal a sync

I need to be that quick.

It seems that even getting an SMS while being connected via USB while being busy syncing, results in the familiar hang. So yes, I'm in round 22 of consecutive installs.

After testing the V3 ROM for 2 days, below are the bugs that I found.

1. Data Connection was ON by itself once you finished configure your sim card.

2. Manila settings\Other\USB to PC\uncheck the "Enable faster data synchronization".

(In this way, you won't experience active sync kept syncing.)

Other the 2 bugs above, I am very happy with this V3 ROM. Thank you very much, Laurent & the teams.

Ok testing this ROM for four days now and I must say it's really the one to keep. Most bug free ,stable and fast ROM and yes I've tried a lot of ROM's this maybe the only one that rivals Kwbr's in means of greatness.Quality before quantity that must be the moto for this ROM I went through Dutty's , Miri's , Phamquang's , MaryOne's,Xanitech's and etc. and each and every time there was a bug that I just couldn't stand and change it after two days of useage ( ROM's were slow or full with bugs). So congrats for the cook its a proper job mate if there is a "Blackstone cook of the month award" you'll win first prize for sure :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hsclater:
I have the exact same problem, twice today now. The symptoms I have had are:

- Phone working well.

- Do something innocuous such as go into file explorer

- Phone becomes non-responsive, specifically cannot view Manilla screens or today screen, although apps still work

- Reset phone

- Then phone does not boot, just gets to smart mobility boot screen with radio version etc

- Only solution to hard reset.

I tried without Spikes taskbar installed, am now trying without Neo's driverpack installed, although that backgound is ugly!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] andes83:
Hi you can try to lower the GDI/Font Cache in HDTweak program it's set to Very Large (for speed i guess) by default and it seems that it causes some problems like this set it to Normal and test for awhile.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] HorstDCC:
Keep above zero

It's highly unlikely that they are related to the cause.

Try setting it up completely and configuring it fully for you needs -assuming no extra applications- before inserting the SIM.

I cannot get the ROM to hang without the SIM, even with several extra applications installed. Only in combination with telephone activity or Px Internet the problem occurs (in my 24 cycles of re-installs).

best regards,
