HOW to turn off weather animation with cookie?

i saw if somewhere where do i go to turn off the weather animation??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stormrain:
When you tap on an empty quicklink you have the following options: program, Contact, Bookmark and Weather Animation On/Off Shortcut. The last one is the one you want.

I have recently started using the Energy sense 2.5 rom previously I had just been using the stock rom and spb mobile shell. Few tweaks i'm looking for 1. when clicking on contacts it directly calls the selected # I would like it to ask me do I want to call mobile or home or send sms. Also I'm having issues sending sms's it does not like to auto populate the names by default if I try to send a msg with a partial name typed and then says invalid when I backspace it will then try to figure out and give me a list of contacts very annoying when i'm sending a txt out to multiple people.. Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bdaboy338:
are u running the full version of the spb mobile shell, if so, where did u get it?

or do i have to purchase it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] quik99:
No longer running it was using trial and decided to try out sense 2.5 before I purchased it and really like sense better than the old touchflo that was on my phone or even mobileshell but there are a few things I dont like tho
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BigBadger:
As has been stated many times, it is not a "feature" of this ROM that it burns your battery up quickly. And by quickly I mean you can't get through the day with normal usage. You have something going on with your particular setup. You are going to have to investigate what is using power. It it were me, I would use Task29 and then flash the ROM with no auto-install stuff happening. Just do the carrier setup and then watch how the phone does for a couple of cycles. Then, when you see that all is well out-of-box, start making your changes and watch numbers in tbattery or such so you can see when the drain begins.

Or, maybe you are using 3G but have no 3G signal. Using GPS all the time. Using Wifi all the time, backlight on all the time....

Application folder??

I may be nit picking, but is/was there a reason there is no application folder in the ROMS these days?

Reason I ask is that I (and most likely many others) have apps in their SD card and simply need a convient place to store them in the start menu, sure no big deal to make a new folder via a backup, but I don't know of any other cooks' ROMS that do not have an Apps folder, it is usually there by default...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] venomshot629:
Looks Like My Run is Over!

Funny, I was just thinking this exact same thing last night, I agree too since we usually install many other things on the phone, it would be nice to have apps folder for things that arent "Tools", "Games" or "Internet"...

Anyway, after ~7 months, my touch screen on my TP2 has completely stopped responding... fine one day, dead the next. Reflashed many times, restarted, etc, etc, no luck. Any suggestions, or am I S.O.L? :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] huggs:
Same here. My workaround was to create a folder named Apps in Windows/Start Menu/Programs and put all my apps in there. But in the start menu, it was a regular yellow folder, which stuck out sorely among all the black folders. So I got the JWLP Icon changer(pretty sure its not JPLW, but close, Im on my phone rt now so cant check the name) and copied "officefolder.png" from /Windows to my sd card and used the icon changer to change my apps folder icon to look like the office folder. Not perfect, but better than the yellow folder. Of you want I xan attach the icon changer later. And if anybody could post the icon for the Settings/System folder, it would probly look even better than 2 identical folders in the start menu. I cant find that damn systemfolder.png for the life of me...

SMS BUG

Using the latest rom with 23000 series build sense 2.5 max manila version on att tilt2. Anyone try saving a new number via text? Like say a new number texts you and you want to save their number, how do you do it? With this version of sms chat it doesnt display the number inside the chat so can't click on it to go to the window prompt of choices of what to do like the original wm6.5 chat. If you are outside of the chat but still in the sms/mms app, the convo is highlighted. Now hold donw ur finger on it, last option in the pop up is "save sender to contacts." ?akes sense since i see no other way to save it besides memorize their number and save by scratch. Well you tap this option and guess what, nothing happens! So i have to tell people to text me their number so i can copy and paste it to contacts, lol!

Anyone know of a better/logical way to save a new number via sms/mms?

My Experience with Energy Roms

please don't take this as an attack on the creator of the energy roms, as i appreciate their efforts. unfortunately, i'm finding that the custom rom scene is nothing more than for enthusiasts or hobbyists when it comes to usability. i've been trying to use my touch pro 2 (and tilt and previous smart phones) with custom roms hoping that they would provide more functionality and usability than the standard carrier roms.

unfortunately, i've run into nothing but instability issues, and slow performance. i guess it's just the state of windows mobile, although i haven't had experience with any other mobile platforms than WM. at this point i don't know what to do, i'm in a 2 year contract with at&t since october 2009. i think i would like to switch to an android phone, but can't afford to break my contract and get a new phone. just to give you a heads up as to the problems i've been having, i have functionalities lock up (can't return to the home screen without restarting, sometimes can't return to the phone dialer without restarting, sometimes very sluggish response). sometimes my phone doesn't turn back on from sleep. other times i get an error that powerark.exe crashed, or slideoff.exe crashed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] LordFuzzy024:
Wow I have the exact opposite experience. I find the Stock Roms unusable and buggy. Non of the things you have stated have happend to me. Phone stays on for days without a problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gshadow325:
WHOA...definatly a thumbs down for your post. There are many many people using this rom on a daily basis like me heavily too. i average about 800-1000 minutes per week and this is my primary phone. thats running the latest rom. if you dont like this rom, you will really hate the droid LOL.

Plus i dont think your problems can be attributed to this ROM. you cant be the only one on this forum with such bad problems. i have yet to read a post like yours with so many problems, and i have been following the thread since OCT 2009 before it hit the 3000 reply mark :D

With 8756 followers on twitter, he must be doing something right! that doesn't even count all the lurkers out there. Safe estimate of users of this rom should be around 10,000!

Maybe you are better off going to a android phone and let us suffer with NRG's horrible roms (a little bit of sarcasm there..NVM, alot of sarcasm!) :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] LordFuzzy024:
I have so much faith i'm flashing the April 20 rom right now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] huggs:
The problems you're describing are not normal at all. I get exactly what you are looking for from cooked roms, extended functionality and visual appeal. But you have to be willing to tweak things here and there to get it just the way you want, and to avoid the probs you have described, I would suggest Task29 before flashing and a hard reset or even two after. If you get flash the way I have described, and get everything set up correctly, I'm sure you'll be as satisfied as I am.

Extra tip: I never use XDA_UC, setting everything up manually takes a little longer, but I dont flash a new rom as often as some of the other folks here. By not using XDA_UC, you are ensuring that everything is entered the way it was meant to be and there are no random errors(I see quite a few posts here where people have probs/bugs from UC, not that UC is a bad thing just not for me I guess)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] kidvi:
thanks for the replies everybody, i really AM hoping that it's just something i'm doing. i'm going to do a little bit more reading, including the task 29 stuff. i'm also going to plan to flash the latest energy rom out there. any other suggestions/resources you have will be great!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] michaelra:
If you're having problems of phone slowing down after installing this ROM, disable tabs that you don't use (mail, facebook, footprint, etc) and restart. You'll find the phone more responsive!

Indicator light always flashing

I just downloaded the April 18th 21899 build w/CHT and it's my favorite ROM. Like it very much, but I have a few issues I'd like to sort out.

I searched the forums but I can't seem to find a fix for the indicator light always flashing on the phone. It's only supposed to flash when I get a new email, text, missed call, ect. - but it's flashing all the time. Is there a fix for this? It's hard to search for "flashing", "indicator", and "light". You just get too many nonrelated responses.

The other issue is with the battery drain but I'm giving it a week to before I deem it an issue.

Would appreciate some help on the indicator light issue though.

nah i meant the system folder within settings. i had come across it like a week ago, now i cant find if, the name is systemfolser.png, i cant even find it by TC searh fumction. lol a big gear would look kinda goofy for an apps folder ;-p

im gonna stick w apr 14 rom until a significant update comes, cause i dont use XDA_UC, so setup is kinda a chore for me

thanks tho

edit: just went back and re-read your post and looked in/Windows you were right. thanks a bunch !

now my start menu is perfect !!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
In my expereience with these ROMs (same build as yours) , the indicator light will stay flashing until you 'check out' whatever is creating it... In other words: If you have a new SMS, you must actually view the message before the light times-out (Not just 'dismiss' the notification!). More in depth with email: Not only do you have to go to the email tab, but you must then tap on the email itself (opening it up in the WinMo style, not Sense), before the notification light turns off.

I don't know if this is a WinMo 'issue' or if it's specific to NRG's ROMs (my guess is on WinMo), but that's how I've always dealt with the issue...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tsfine:
I have to tell you, I finally got tired of the unmanagable battery drain with sense (latest versions got worse). I decided to try a Titanium ROM and spb MS 3.5 and this the combination rocks. I had not tried MS since 1.5 and I really like Cookie Monster Manila, but the battery drain was monsterous and nothing I did made a difference. What you give up in features with MS you gain in configurability and light footprint. Just thought I'd add my 2 cents. Thanks NRGZ.!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rohan.binny.arora:
I believe there's a fix for flashing indicator issue in the addons and hotfixes section on post 2. You can try that and see if it works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
I'm pretty sure you USED to be right, but I don't see that there anymore ('less I'm missing sumpin'...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] outerdepth:
REALLY?!

I hate to say this, not diss, but I usually have bad battery drain from Energy ROMs, but this 20th release is great. I have only been using it today, but I have great battery length from the get go. Ususally it takes a few days to get improved, but it's still never this good. The settings in this must be tweaked just right, or at least they are for my phone.

If you aren't using this newest rom, I suggest using the 20th build with Sense 2.5 and the Cookie Tab. It is really fun to play with and fairly good on system resources or at least as far as I can tell.:cool:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] the.decoy:
lol, massive +1 to that ^^

You always see this when new xda users get started by flashing the most bleeding edge experimental roms and then saying all cooked roms are unstable :rolleyes:

@Kidvi - as everyone else has said, you need to grab a stable cooked rom (eg: 21899 seems to get a good rap, but by all means do some research before you flash - R E A D the forum posts and see what seasoned users say about a particular build) ... do a clean flash (task29 first, ect) ... then trim down any UI elements you don't need or want.

On some WM devices you might argue that original HTC roms are more stable but I'd never say that about the TP2/Tilt2 :eek: good lord those official roms have been horribly slow and unstable.

EDIT: Oh yeah ... don't go installing incompatible Themes and Apps onto a cooked rom either. Themes in particular have big compatibility issues with newer WM builds.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
I'm not particularly a noob to NRG's ROMs (though it could be argued otherwise in some other respects), but I find myself constantly using the 21xxx ROMs, simply for their usability. I know that the 23xxx are more finger-friendly, but (for ME, anyways) the comatability with proven app's and the like cannot be beat...

Just my $0.02

does the radio have any effect on the battery life?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gatecrasher71:
I would definitely recommend to use the Sense 2.1 instead of 2.5, as Sense 2.1 is much more stable and almost flawless. Also recommending to change your Radio, as that Radio had given me some twitches to.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] huggs:
Yes it does. Because one radio might get you a weak signal where the other radio got a strong signal, the one that gets the weak signal will be "trying harder" to do the same job, thus using more battery. Plus from what I have read around here, some radios just work better with some roms, Im sure that contributes to battery drain in the same way
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] comclusive:
Does anyone know how the XDA_UC works? Does it install in alphabetical order?

I have the black flip clock set to install in XDA_UC and all the other reg and xml files, and constantly during the UC install it pops up a message about disabling touchflo and gives a continue/cancel option, which I think is the black flip clock installing, so I want this to happen right at the end (unless someone has the black flip clock cab that doesn't do this!)

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] :
Thanks for this tip. Will definitely try michyprima's HD mini lock. Cookie lock function is not really an option for me as long a it doesn't lock the HW buttons too.

Using SmartLock combined with michyprima's HD mini lock now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
As has been posted, YES! :eek:

Though: it's very experimental on your own part which radio version works in your locale, and with what ROM...

The radio I have posted in my signature works best for me in Florida, but possibly at the sake of battery performance (but the GPS lock and internet speed is simply amazing)...

Try a few out; post your results. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
To be honest, I've wondered this myself, but don't believe it's an issue, as it's all pretty much installed at-once...

Since NRG has utilized XDA_UC, All I ever do is either 'OK' or 'X'-out of any prompt during the update stage; no problems yet with my updating...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] comclusive:
I agree it's not much of an issue, but this pop-up pops up about 10 times during the UC install and it gets annoying after a while! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
Does it 'work' after the install (and all the clicking)?

Maybe try leaving that file out? Let XDA_UC run, load up, then try the clock?

Ooops: Just noticed the 21x versus 23x diff: Maybe try this suggustion...? Doesn't work; Don't know waht to tell you! LOL Sorry...

Hi all,

Question 1: anybody using the SPB Wireless Monitor in combination with the NRG Rom's (ideally CHT Sense 2.5). Please inform if You noticed any problems.

Further a small history:

I was on the 17 of April's CHT Rom, having minor issues and decided to "upgrade" to the 'same' 18.04 ROM. After flashing I was unable to install a domain in the Exchange server settings, hence I was not able to sync with our exchange server. I did the usual HR and flashed a second time, no difference.

Just before I started flashing I made a backup with SPB Backup 2.1. I know that NRG wrote the lack of compatibility of these backups, but I do it as a precaution.

Because of lack of time, I decided to try a restore from that backup after I decided that the 18.04 is unusable for me. I was working, syncing etc. right from the SR after the restoring.

Questions to the above :

2)-am I at risk of using new ROM and old config after I do this, or is SPB Backup actually overwriting the complete rom towards the one which was in the backup.

3)-anybody else noticing the domain to be absent ("greyed out" / cannot be edited) in the async settings with that particular rom.

regards,

Ruud

GPS problems

just flashed the newest 23563 cookie rom. everything is working fine for me except gps. I ran task 29 before flashing, have hard reset twice and even changed radios (4.49.25.77) but still no luck. I ran the chartcross gps test and there is no activity with the bars so I know something must be wrong. Googlemaps isnt providing an accurate location either.

Has anyone run into this problem and knows how to fix it? Should I keep hard resetting and hoping it will work?

Hi all,

Being on the latest NRG-rom, as always (see sig), noticing two small issues:

2. Tapping on the topbar of Windows Calender (day-view) doesn't bring up the month-view to pick a specific day in the month. Nothing happens.

Calibri system font not supporting unicode

Hi,

Ever since I installed the Apr 17 21898 Cookie ROM I am struggling with the ROM fonts.

It seems like Calibri does not support quite a few Unicode characters

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/calibri/missing.htm

I have changed the sysfnt back to Tahoma but it seems this goes deeper.

Although the sys font is now okay. I am still getting "?" instead of characters in the applications (messaging, facebook app, calendar etc.)

Any way to completely replace Calibri?
