Ghost alarm / steps to remove

I actually bought SKTools to do this with my old Windows Mobile 5.0 Cingular 3125.

Your post reminded me of what I needed to do to fix it.

You can also just use dot freds task manager to do it.

At least the latest version that is Task3.exe in the Windows folder works.

Go to notifications.

Delete all entries that Are \Windows\Clock.exe

Then go to your alarms page and change each alarm time by 1 minute and set them.

Go back into dot Freds taskmanager and look at the notifications page. You will see that multiple entries of \Windows\Clock.exe exist again.

Since it's Friday and 2 alarms run M-F and 1 alarm runs only on Sat and Sun, I won't really know if m ghost alarm is fixed until Monday and not 100% sure until next week. But I am pretty confident that my ghost alarm will be gone.

How to Tether WinMo Phone to Windows 2000

I hope some wayward searcher finds this someday--here are the files needed to tether a NRG-WinMo 6.53 phone to a Windows 2000 SP4 computer.

I recently won a Sony Vaio PCG-C1VN on ebay and had a difficult time finding help/files for this kind of ancient connection.

These files will do it, just do the "Have Disk" deal when prompted during hardware installation and point toward the attached folders. The result is a tethered phone that comes up as a Network Adapter in Device Manager (I would've thought it would list as a Modem). ActiveSync installation is *not* necessary.

Also, W2K already comes prepared to find and use the phone's sd card.

Like a brandy flask on a St. Bernard's neck, this means little to anybody except in an isolated emergency :)

NRG - Downloaded and installed the 15 April 29017 (see signature) and it installed flawlessly. Thank you! Your twitter question, however, is that in changing the page pool it sped up program and Sense response. I did not see a perceptible speed increase. Perhaps JVH3 or Cajunflavoredbob or one of the other testers can give this version a real shakedown with some of their testing tools. Strange that there is no increase in blogging or questions on this forum or even a spate of thanks or no thanks as a result of NRG's 15 April release. Is it that not so many folks are using a Tilt 2 or other Rhodium phones anymore? Hummm, maybe that's why I am looking at buying a HTC HD7S (AT&T) - the problem is that even the 1 GHz Snapdragon is a bit long in the tooth. Again, thanks NRG.

The pagepool change was that he made it 0. This sets the PP to dynamic scaling. It will increase as the device needs it and release as it doesn't. It will eat up more RAM initially, however. I would venture a guess to say that it might boot with about 60-70% free RAM. The OS should be considerably snappier, however.

As far as a new device, you may want to look at getting a HD2 instead of the HD7S. The Telsra HD2 will allow you to use AT&T 3G in the US. The only real difference between the two is the SuperLCD on the HD7S. The HD2 can run almost every mobile OS ever made. Android hasn't even made it to the WP7 devices yet.

Flash of Energy.RHODIUM.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Apr.15

I flashed the new Energy.RHODIUM.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Apr.15 a few hours ago.

NRG tweeted about the new pagepool settings; it is set at 0 (zero), which is a "dynamic" setting (search of "pagepool at 0" took me to this thread which has a couple of opinions starting with post #18 of that thread on dynamic page pool).

Speed may have increased a bit on the new Energy.RHODIUM.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Apr.15, but after using for a few hours with WinStart start menu, RAM depletes very quickly. Prior to this build, my memory would settle out at about 70-75 mb; with the new build, my memory is settling out at about 50-55 mb.

With the normal (default) start menu, memory is even lower...it settles out at about 35-40 mb on my device. Opening a few apps (Opera, email message, twitter) overloads memory and starts shutting things down.

Besides the bad memory, I saw no other problems with the ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'd suggest using PPChanger to set the PP to 16 or 18 instead. 0 is pretty much a disaster on the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
Did that...in the process of reflashing now....

I find 18 to suit me best (16 yields a bit more memory, but a little more sluggish)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I actually prefer to get the most RAM out if the ROM (not to sound like a certain parrot around here) that I can. I normally will go down to 14 sometimes and use WinMoSpeed and QuickMenu to make up the difference. I really like using QM anyway as we have a stylus and a very accurate resistive screen to get the most out of the app.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NRGZ28:
So how about a 20 pagepool for the Rhodium ? I couldnt stand using it the other day when I was testing things, which is why I decided to try 0. 0 felt very snappy to me (almost like my HD2). I guess if I didnt already have an HD2 to spoil me, I wouldnt know that WM could move a lot quicker and I would have been happy with an 18 pagepool.

So... 20 maybe ? Gotta give the ROM a little more speed... OR, another option is to make the ROM itself lighter, by removing apps (and icons from the start menu). Removing icons from the start menu will definitely lower RAM usage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I don't remember the last time you cooked one that high. There were times when I remember lowering it all the way down from 24! Have you given any more thought to WinStart, or are you still waiting for a more stable release?

In short, I don't think there is any perfect solution to our miserable RAM situation. HTC made one amazing keyboard and slapped together crappy specs. If they would have put this keyboard on the HD2, then I think I would not get another phone for many years.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dinky:
I am all up for more memory. I use iGo8 with TTS daily. If I got not enough memory, HiRes TTS voice will not work, but the app still works. So when I found out TTS is not working (unfortunately it will be after the fact that I've launched the app, set the destination and started driving), then I have to reboot the phone to gain more memory to get it going again.

Currently I leave it at default 18 as recent previous ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Well you can always kill Sense when you need more RAM. Sense is a huge RAM hog.. When it boots without Sense on you will have the most amount of RAM available...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dinky:
How can we turn off the eye-candy sense on your ROM? That's the whole purpose of sticking with your ROMs... :p Nah, we love the speed and tweaks on your ROMs too... :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
I would say yes to 20. But I would also prefer 18. For my device, that is about the best of both worlds (RAM & speed).

IMO, NRG ROM at a PP of 18 with WiMoSpeed at 768, or 787, is the fastest, most perfect ROM out there. Really, it doesn't matter what you set the PP at, I always set to 18 before I flash. I tried the 15th ROM at default befcause of your tweet.

PLEASE!! Don't take the icons or apps away!! That is what makes an Energy ROM.

Page Pool / Apps / Icons

As far as page pool - The difference between 18 or 20 isn't going to make me adjust it before flashing. It's only 2 MB and WinStart saves enough memory that 2 MB isn't going to matter.

Please don't get rid of any apps or icons. All that are in the ROM are useful. They might not all be used often, but are essential when you need it.

I agree with the tenor of this app discussion. I don't find any unnecessary, even though I don't use all of them. The thing is, if you started polling users about "Well, which ones should go?" then there would be fifty million different responses.

I've reconciled myself to slow response of the HTC Touch Pro 2--I'm more concerned about stability and maintaining the level of free RAM.

Difference between ROMs 29017 Cookie 2.0 - April 8 vs April 15

Obviously, the major change is the pagepool. You will probably want to use the page Pool Change Utility to set it to something like 18 or 20 before flashing.

These are the other changes I have found.

1. XDA_UC now Runs before ArkSwitch and Sense start. In April 8th and earlier, ArkSwitch launched first.

2. Change in the Volume Control DLL. Also a graphic is edited so, you should now see blue when you select Silent or Vibrate.

HTCVolumeControl.png

3. Updated Recorder.exe

4. Updated HTCAppointment.exe

5. 3 manila files are updated, but they appear to be for other languages.

17956b33_manila, 6d2086af_manila, 6e4b89f5_manila

6. Registry changes related to the new VolumeControl dll.

Added:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\VolumeOverlay]

"TPEAudioIOCTLDef"=dword:1

"COM3"=dword:1

"NotSendVolKeyWhenStart"=dword:1

Changed:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\VolumeOverlay]

"DisableMDPL"=dword:0

Other than that, I am not aware of other differences. This does not mean that there are not other changes. Just that I am not aware of any others.

Glad to see that improvements are still being made. Big Thanks to NRGZ28 for continuing to support our phones.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] motisu:
Unless I misunderstand you, this is not a new bug. If you try to edit a recurring appt from sense, it won't allow you to change them all, only 1 instance. If you want to change the whole series, you have to go to the start menu and open Calendar in the Office Mobile submenu. From there, it will ask if you want to edit 1 occurrence or the whole series. If you click the whole series, it will edit it.

Not compatible.

Just because you can use your device on T-Mobile (the Sprint CDMA Rhodium is a world phone, which allows it to work on some GSM networks) does not make your device a GSM device. It is still a CDMA device and this ROM is for GSM Rhodiums (Touch Pro2 or Tilt2) only... not CDMA World Phone Rhodiums like what you have...

SMS after disabling Sense 2.5

Over all I really love the ROM. However when I start a new SMS(from the threaded view in Sense 2.5) and click the "Tap to compose text" it is really slow or takes at least 5 taps. If I begin a SMS without being in the threaded view, by clicking the compose new button in Sense, it is fast and responsive.

To attempt to remedy this issue I disabled Sense 2.5 and tried Titanium. It was fast and responsive in every aspect, but SMS messages will just refuse to send from that point. They go from composition directly to the Outbox and stay there no matter what(re-enabling Sense 2.5 will then properly send the messages in my outbox). Also a lot of the text views in Titanium will not convert to threaded even with the option enabled.

So I am facing a tough choice, I really like Sense 2.5, but the slowness of composing SMS makes it not worth using. I may have to go to pure Titanium.

Unless someone knows a way to disable the HTC messaging portion of Sense 2.5 and making the default Titanium portion work properly.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rmkali:
Granted, i'm no expert ... but, as long as i've had MaxManila and as many posts and articles that i've read on it ... i've never seen the display ability that you name. The closest i've been able to come to having a wallpaper only screen (with slider) i produced by turning the analog clock setting on in MaxManila (and of course turning off weather and tab icons). This still leaves the analog clock on the screen. (i confess, i still don't know what the "slider" setting does, though).

That makes me wonder if i don't have the wrong idea of what you are referring. I never had MaxManila 2.5, maybe that was a function available in that version, which has sense been disabled in this or just not operational with EnergyROM. When 2.6beta came out there was a big announcement that THIS version would run on EnergyROMs.

If you are unable to get to the settings for MaxManila by swiping, i have serious doubts as to whether it is in fact installed in the version you have. Clearly, it is not functioning in the intended way if it is installed. I recommend d/l'ing the ROM again and flashing. Hope any of this helps.

Good Luck!

One idea would be to move a lot of the app shortcuts to Sense, instead of sticking them in the Start Menu. Sense uses less RAM to display the high rez PNGs found in the Start menu, but the start menu uses a lot of RAM to cache those.

My 2 cents about RAM vs Speed

It is a pity that I missed the "dialog" here with NRGZ about Pagepool.

In my opinion, I believe we have a free proven solution for speed - WiMoSpeed.

It seems that there is a solution for the lack of RAM - WinStart, although not free, but there is a free version of it.

So, why mess with Pagepool?

My suggestion to NRGZ is: cook WiMoSpeed, set it to the standard speed (528 MHZ), and let people use it or not by changing the CPU speed.

Also, cook the free version of WinStart and add it to the set of available start menu replacements already on the ROM.

Leave Pagepool alone, at a reasonable value (18?).

That way, if one prefers to play conservative, one can leave WiMoSpeed alone, and use the standard start menu. If one wants speed and memory, one can use both. If one ... well you got the idea :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dinky:
Since the chef offered all different alternatives for Start Menu, I keep switching to panel during initial set up. It does give me a lot more free memory than standard Start Menu. Will WinStart give even more free memory back? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Probably not. The "compact" menu will give you the most out of all, IMO.

WinMoSpeed / If cooked / possible issue with Haret (Android)

I think there are some issues with running WinMoSpeed and running Android by starting Haret.exe So, it might be good to cook in WinMoSpeed, but not have it automatically start. Maybe put some quicklinks or start menu shortcuts to different speed settings.

I think there are alot of users that use the ROM on a regular basis, that also like to play with Android.

I actually have WinMoSpeed installed on my storage card. This makes it so that if I over clock too much, I can still boot by just taking the storage card out.
