[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
- Yes I have been using this ROM almost since last week.

- One of the point of concern is : Battery Drain.

- I have observed that, with 100% charged battery without using WiFi/GPRS, it lasts for about ~36 hours (1.5 days). This includes nominal phone calls (5 - 10) of (1 - 3) minutes.

- No idea if this is poor/average/above average etc.

- Maybe now the time has come to check how to reduce the battery consumption.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] character:
just flashed and I can say this is a real great release.... I am testing it now on a wifi... have not tested the bluetooth yet... I believe it would run well on an ELF because there are not much of an application was embedded on the ROM
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
Hi All,

- Awaiting for the feedback. Especially from the Elf users.

- Also awaiting for the battery life and blue-tooth reviews.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] itsme_4ucz:
Tried it on ELF, works great!!

But running really low on memory, after a reboot my phone just has 12.5MB free mem :(

Any scope for a lite version?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
- I will see if I am able to build a Lite version for Elf.

- But unfortunately I cannot gurantee for it or an approx ETA as I am getting quite busy @ office.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
Hi All,

- Just uploaded the ROM for build 21864.

- Further removed some packages.

- As usual all the required testing is done on an Elfin. Elf users are encouraged to check this ROM for memory usage. Hope this one is better than previous.

- Seems to have better battery life.

Give it a try and let me know the feedback.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
Can you try the ROM with build 21864 if possible?

ROM with build 21851 had the deblogger registry ON which was one of the reason for low memory.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] honcorrd:
@ chota_shivaji, congratz on your release :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
Thanks man for the wishes. ROM cooking would not have been possible without help from you and other XDA users.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] xTERRORIZERx:
Thanks for you rom, I'm trying it right now ;)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Aiden Thanno:
Great ROM, lite and slim an not at all laggy :) And even the rain animation is smooth

One problem with the latest release 21864 - no mail synched from Exchange can be opened - it tries to open the message when clicked (both from inbox and mail tab in M2D), that can be noticed by "Outlook E-mail" shown in title bar, but the window remains the same and even responds to clicks.

Maybe you shouldn't have removed Outlook enhancement from ROM.

Tried after a clean install and hard reset.

With a previous build no such bug found.

And keep up the good work :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
- Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback.

- This reminds me to check this functionality as well in my testing of ROM.

Having said that, can you please comment on battery life and RAM usage? The difference between 21851 and 21864 are result of "Get more RAM for Elf users" and hence the probable cause of bug.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Aiden Thanno:
As for battery life, I can't tell presently - simply becuase of extensive reflashing (did a lot af that in last week :))

Will post back when I first run out of battery after a full charge (but my data might be not accurate though, since my Elfin and her battery is 1.5 years old...

Now about memory: 69.35 of 107.62 free (M2D + ActiveSync only)

It's for 21851
[Touch GSM ROM Development] chota_shivaji:
- Many thanks for the feedback.

- I hope you have deleted the deblogger registry key.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nopotential:
I can't flash it :/

From what I understand, I download to my sd card

Then open terminal and type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

When I do this I get this message.

Error writing recovery: Permission denied.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Apparently I have to type su first in the terminal. Sorry, still a noob at this stuff. Thanks anyways.

Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place to post or not, but what IDEs do you guys use to develop software for windows mobile 6? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 beta because I don't want to pay for VS, but it doesn't like the WM6 SDK. I found that SharpDevelop3 works just fine if you write compact framework apps, but I can't find the info to write apps that use the radio/gps/g-sensor etc.

Are there any developers out there that could point me in the right direction? I'm willing to help out if you have a project you are getting stuck with. I've been working mainly with Basic and C#, but I'd like to expand.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] godefroi:
VS2008. The radio/gps/g-sensor stuff isn't included in the .NET framework, so you'll need to find external libraries for working with them.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Rick Chase:
i just started browsing this site a few days and am very impressed with the whole community..

anyway, i just swapped out my samsung epix for an htc fuze and love the phone so far. I've already succesfully removed the at&t tab, fixed the small mms issue, and changed the default device.home.

thats apperently the the tip of the iceberg as far as customizing this phone goes. I am now interested in a different rom. I've noticed a lot of good things about the energyrom 2.0/3.0 and am very interested but also hesitant to flash my phone since i only just got it and dont want to void any warranties.

my quesions;

1. whats the latest energyrom 2.0 build? (maybe give me a dl link)

2. does the rom come with a bunch of apps im not gonna use?

3. Do i need to flash the radio before/after the rom or at all?

4. and which radio is best?

tia, im looking forward to learning more as this phone will do until i get the touch pro 2 or whatever comes next.

edit: i do realize there is a wiki and have been studying it, i've also seen the rom flashing for noobs section and have a rough idea that hardspl is a failsafe should anything go wrong

im still iffy on going to a 6.5 rom cause i guess its still a beta version on winmo (i think) so i was more thinkin on 6.1, i dont need newest just something different from stock but stable as well.

i was lookin at this list (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_Cooked_WM6.1_ROMs) and noticed energyrom 2.0 build 41609 was the newest but the thread link doesnt work.

i clicked the energyrom 1.0 build 32609 thread link and it brought me to a thread for energyrom 1.0 build 41609.....is that the same as energyrom 2.0 build 41609?

i also looked around and noticed the radio is untouched with just a rom flash so ill leave that alone for now. thank you for showing me how to use google anyway.

hello all, I need help in changing the resolution for the video recorder on the TP2. I've gone into the Advanced settings of the video recorder, but the option to change it is greyed out and is stuck on the small resolution. it worked the first day i used it a couple of weeks ago, but doesn't now. could I have installed a program that has taken control over this setting? thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dagawa:
can anybody tell me what they have for this registry value?

Well it appears the setting I need to change is in picture 2. MainCamCaptSize is set to 2. On my wife's phone, it's set to 4096. When I try to change it, and soft reset, it changes back to 2. Any one have any ideas? Thanks!

I ask this question because att just put up new 850 mhz in my town and the press release says something about faster 3g speeds so im confused. If I buy a unbranded euro tp2 then would i get 3g?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] x5-rwk:
No, you will only get edge. You either have to wait for AT&T to come out with it or import the Telstra (Aussie) version of the TP2. The Telstra has the 850 mhz 3G frequency in it but not the 1900 mhz 3G frequency that AT&T uses in a few large markets. Chicago, NY, San Fran... To have absolute full coverage of AT&T's 3G network you should wait for their (AT&T's) unit otherwise the Telstra version will work on 95%+ of AT&T's 3G network. By the end of the year all of AT&T's 3G network is supposed to be converted to the 850 mhz frequency. Hopefully that is not too confusing.

One last side note, the Aussie version is very expensive $650+ to import, if you believe what people are saying the AT&T no-contract version should retail under $500 before tax and might be cheaper.

I did import the Aussie Touch HD for the same reason, US 3G and it works great but I did have to pay a high price for it. Over $800 at the time and even after six months you are hard pressed to find one under $600 for a new one shipped.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] labbbby:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ryj01:
Okay,Thanks

I'm conflicted because of Att new data plan that forces customers to pay $30 for data. I just cant see myself paying $60 for mobile internet between my wifes iphone and my tp2 since I have wifi at work and home. I was thinking of buying ATT for retail price but in the att forums there is confusing info because some say att can see what phone you have and bill you for thier data plan even if you buy it retail. So I was thinking of buying an unlocked unbranded one or the aussie one to save me the money in the long run $720 on a 2 year contract

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ross75:
If you have to ask how to change the files then you probably shouldn't be messing with the code for an OS. There is alot to it. You need to know how to set up linux, Git, repo, sdk, emulator, learn java,maybe some C++, edit xml files, and compile the edited code just to name a few.

If you get that working then all you need is a text editor to start changing code.

Good luck!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zambezy:
What about modding existing roms?

Here is what I know so far...

system apps are not individualy signed

Rom must be packaged in zip having 3 root directories.

data (holds apps normaly)

META-INF (holds some kind of build files... and android manifest)

system (holds the OS and scripts and such.)

Also boot.img in the root dir.

The update.zip needs to be resigned if repackaged.

=) that is it all that I have gathered after hours of searching.

I dont want to recompile a kernel as I dont need to modify one. I would rather leave that to the more experienced DEVs. All I want is to remove/replace few apps...

My questions:

How do you sign a file... (tried the sign java thing in ubuntu and I get some king of error... could not find library and what not...)

There is a windows batch file floating around I have not tryed that.

I have some basic understanding of code language and I can flollow instructions even if I have to find my way around some stuff... but this rom building is like black magic... Everyone is doing it no one wants to explain how its done... If its too damn hard then so be it. I can modify it on the back end after installing. I just believe in clean simple installs.

What generates the META-INF directory and the files in there. Seems like there is some instructions on setting permissions for certain files and (manifest) seems like signiture keys..

Is that generated when the file is signed?

is it manualy generated?

is can those files be modified?

I know if this is answered it would be helpful in letting people optimize the builds for their own needs.

Sorry for the long post. I hope this gets explained or I dont care if I have to read, give me a bunch of homework (links).
