I flash the "Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jan.16"

the Total commander in this ROM is not support CHINESE display.

I solve it.

the software can set font independently.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bob Simons:
Still trying to figure out how to enlarge the text in sense and in the contacts, email and IM apps. I was told to use the zoom control on the bottom of the screen but I want to change the default settings. this rom has been set to include the maximum amount of data in the window: I need to to show less but larger to make it more legible. It appears that settings have been changed to this effect in a large number of places: I'm hoping someone can tell me where, which utilities to make the changes, and whether there is an easy way to back up the settings before trying things to make it less likely that I'd need to reflash to correct my errors.

the slider doesn't enlarge the font in the IM app: it just moves from message to message in the sense window, and does nothing in the messeges app itself. The zoom control also goes through the emails in sense, and does nothing in the Outlook e-mail list view. The only place it does anything is in viewing an individual email. I also want to enlarge the list entries in the contacts, the "information" in the contacts entries as well as the "notes" data. It's way too small.

I use S2U2 as well and I have experienced what you have described once or twice. I don't know why they rearrange but setting things back to normal is easy. If you have exported your CHT settings to storage card, import the settings again. Sense will restart and all will be back to normal.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
OK... so, I'm just mentioning this in case something happens with anyone else and this issues "clicks" in your head and is of some help to you. For more than a week, the rotational issue mentioned above was completely gone when using the Jan 6th CHT 2.0 29007 ROM - COMPLETELY! Then suddenly, without adding any apps or changing any settings, it came back. I performed soft resets and looked around to see if I could find a cause. But the only thing I noticed was that at about the same time, my Weather Bug app started misbehaving. It faults out just at the point that it is about to display weather information for a location. Those two don't have any apparent connection, but they started occurring at about the same time.

I want to re-flash the ROM and see if the problem goes away again. But I was about to hop a plane for Arizona and didn't have time to play with it. So I re-flashed the reliable 28244 ROM with CHT 1.8.5 added on top (this combo always worked perfectly for me) until I get back and have more time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Type Too Small

Sounds like a problem I had.

Did you try reading glasses or bifocal contact lenses? A single setting tweak that fixed instantly my type too small problem for everything I use including the phone. ;)

My thumbnails for the favorites appear if I open the site with Internet Explorer first, then they show up on the Opera Internet Tab. They are saved to \Windows\Thumbnail\
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: Internet Tab Custom Thumbnails - Bookmarks

Thanks for the pointer. Searching XDA, found this thread mentioning that workaround but also how to create custom thumbnails, a Photoshop template as well as a few downloadable ones on page #3: Opera Bookmark Icons. For example:

Searching the registry, found this: HKLM\Software\HTC\VisualBookmark

Edit: This worked for me, jan.06 ROM:

1- Create/visit bookmarks with IE.

2- Copy or move icons found in Windows/Thumbnail w/ Total Commander to memory card.

3- Edit icons & save w/ the exact same name, size & extension.

4- Copy or move to card then move to Windows/Thumbnail w/ Total Commander.

The custom Youtube icon above is much nicer than this IMO:

I wish there would be a way to make them smaller on the Internet Tab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Nice find.

I had found the reg entry for Visual Bookmark and tried changing entries and soft resetting after making different chagnes with no luck.

This post here gives a very good step by step process:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7661367&postcount=25

If only we knew how the file name is generated or how it ties to that site. Then we could restore this through XDA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: Internet Tab Custom Thumbnails - Bookmarks

That post did not work for jan.06 because:

- Opera does not create bookmark icons in the current Jan ROMs.

- The files found in Windows/thumbnail are 256x256 .bmp & not 512x512 png.

- No need to restart Sense in my case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Step 4 from that post.

4. If not, open up the bookmark in PIE. Once bookmark opens then close down PIE.

Key is to keep the same resolution and format of the file.

Since it's a bmp, leave it as a bmp.

Since it's 256x256, leave it as 256x256.

But, something I found is that you can replace the bmp with the jpg.

Then, just give it an extention of bmp

It will load

And you can use 512x512

Key is that the file name just needs to be exactly the same.

Three weeks without a ROM burn!!!

Is it possible? I'm still using the last CHT 1.8, version 29007. For the first time since I began burning ROMs, I had to fill out the registration for my SPB keyboard (trial expired at 15 days).

I haven't seen any updates with a later version, so I haven't bothered to upgrade. Feels strange though...

I've been considering a change to the HD2, but I just don't want to part with the cash. I know it is going to be the last of the Windows Mobile devices, and I like my Windows Mobile. But I like having money too!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I know what you mean. I've been using the time I would have used flashing and testing the new Energy ROMs to perfect my own ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
At some point they are going to stop updating the OS for Windows Mobile. Maybe 29007 is the last one (?)... gonna get really boring on this forum whenever that happens.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Baluliloe:
Actual Version is absolut stable and fast. I love it! Very good work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
Well, I am still running the November version (28244)... I flash the new ones when they are launched, but I see no advantage (on the contrary - there is always a small bug here and there), so I go back to November's.

I am also tempted to move to the HD2, but I am worried about a few issues:

1- The cost, considering WM6 is close to death and so far there is no way to upgrade it to WM7.

2- The lack of a keyboard

3- The fact that I will have to buy a new cradle and a new holster

4- More importantly: most of the new applications are being made only for iPhone, Android, and Bberry.

NRGZ is in part to blame for the situation: he made such a good ROM that it makes difficult to move out of it (the OC tool is the other one to blame, as it made the phone very fast).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] deeken:
I have the same dilemma as you. It feels as if the nostalgia of the Touch Pro 2 is wearing off, now the phone seems ancient. The ROMs aren't getting any better and I've been using the Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.GTX.Dec.01 ROM since there is no reason to upgrade. I've grown to really like Windows Mobile and I have no desire to upgrade to WP7. I would like to avoid Android if possible and would never consider an iPhone.

It seems like the only upgrade option would be the HD2 but I really love the KB of the Touch Pro. I can't justify spending <$200 for an unlocked HD2 when my Touch Pro is working fine.

Count me in with the "where to go next" crew.

My T2 isn't due to upgrade until late summer. Leaving AT&T isn't really an option, since all of are into our contracts in varying times. So now what? I bought middle son an HTC Surround for Christmas to replace his badly aging LG and he LOVES it. I hate how closed WP7 is though. While I appreciate how smoothly WP7 and HTC Hub work, I can't bear the thought of a phone system that is so closed it's like Steve Jobs snuck into the Windows Development team last year!

My dislike of the iPhone environment and the Apple cult is well-known. Again, I admire the iPhone for what it is, but no way do I want a system that is sooooo closed (jailbreaking not withstanding). The current AT&T Androids leave something to be desired too (yeh, even the Moto Atrix).

So now what?

I've been flashing Energy ROMS since my original Tilt began to bore me to tears, and have doing the same with my Tilt 2. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to Energy and some of the most faithful posters here for all the work that went into making my phones more usable (and the fun I've had flashing). A few weeks ago I bought a Nook Color and rooted it, and have been spending all my time exploring the Android world.

Unless something radical is released by June-- my AT&T upgrade window -- I'm staying with my T2 and the Energy ROM in my signature, and waiting it out for an HTC phone running Gingerbread (Android 3) with something like a 4" AMOLED or better screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
Wow, my sentiments exactly, except I think the Atrix would be an amazing phone if it only had a kb... If HTC can put out something similar w/ a kb that'll definitely be my next phone... Not too keen on Android but I like it a lot more than WP7 or the iphone... Sorry for off-topic post...

Some more off topic stuff on windows phone 7

I wouldn't normally chime in, since it's off topic, but the thread is very quiet.

I have found some things out about Windows phone 7.

There are ways to install xap files without going through the Microsoft store.

And there are ways for developers to unlock it for development without telling MS.

My big gripe is that I want to dev software for myself and others. I should not be forced to sell through there store and approval process. And if I make something for me, I should not need to pay anyone. And if I make something for someone else, they should not be able to tell me that I can only give away 5 apps for free. And they should not be able to get a portion of my profit for apps that I chanrge for.

I have looked into android development. Java is so simlar to C# that the transition is not painful. Only negative is that there are not good UI layout tools for development for android. You need to make the xml for the UI non visually.

Next big negative is not being able to make a process run in the background. Pretty sure this will be resolved soon too. My guess is that the concept of a service still exists, but is hidden from users. Not that I have written an app that runs in the background. Only real application I have ever needed or wanted this is streaming music. I always kill apps anyway.

But, I do like to be able to look through my contacts when on a call. I assume Windows phone 7 can do that. Wonder if I could write my own app to do that or if it is locked to what is built in.

I'm not elligible for a discounted upgrade until January of 2012. So, I'll be here for a while. Might pick up an HD2 off of ebay or craigslist, but since my plan is with AT&T I would not get 3G unless I went Telstra.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
Actually, applications are the main reason I'm changing. I'm interested in keeping my CURRENT applications - on WinMo 6.5. I like the custom applications that have been developed, and I actually think that WM7 is going to go south because they can't keep up with Android / Apple. Their one advantage was the customization capabilities of WM6; they have given that up.

So I am going to get an HD2. Hopefully it will last a while, and I suppose I can always go back to my TP2 if it breaks or something. I do plan to use NRG ROMs on my HD2.

RE:Keyboard. Actually, my TP2 is the first hardware keyboard I've had on a WinMo phone. I may miss it, but I actually find myself using my soft keyboard quite a bit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I came form a Fuze that had a keyboard to the Tilt 2..

One useful thing that I use the keyboard for is a remapped FN-X, Fn-C, Fn-V for cut, copy, and paste.

If an application doe not have edit boxes that implement click and hold implemented to display cut, copy, or paste, the function keys work.

Other than that, I find that the on screen keyboard is fine for almost all applications.

I dont write long emails on my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Microsoft is switching the Windows Mobile brand to Windows Embeded Handheld. This is going to be put out on Enterprise devices going forward. It is based on WM6.5.3 and is where we keep getting these new builds from. 29009 is out on DFT, but I haven't seen the leaked build available to the public yet. Don't worry, though; WM6 isn't dead quite yet. I'd think that we will probably see another year or so before they kill it off. Windows Phone 7 doesn't offer the business class features that WM does. Businesses are/were Microsoft's bigest customers in the mobile market. They would do well to keep those clients happy, as if they don't, then RIM would be poised to make a dramatic comeback.

1. HD2 does run WP7 now. It even runs live services with a ticky work-around that makes the device think it's a HD7.

2. The Pro 7 comes out in a month in Germany on O2. It shouldn't be much longer before it hits GSM carriers in the states. I think Verizon is set to get it in March.

Note: For those who aren't familiar with the Pro7, it's basically the Rhodium with the hardware to run WP7. It's roughly the same size as the Rhodium is now, too.

3. The USB cable for the TP2 should be the same one for the HD2. Cradles would need to be swapped, though. I think the batteries are the same as well.

4. The HD2 has access to the Android Market. So there's that to think about. Not that I'm suggesting it, but Android has tons of apps that are available through other sources.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I don't purchase my smart phones or PDAs, as they used to be known, through contract deals. I prefer being out of contract. It's just a thing about it that I don't really like. I don't like to be "locked in" to a service. I don't think this would really be a problem for me as T-Mobile has the best customer service department that I've ever dealt with. I mean, if I were contemplating suicide, I would call T-Mobile, because I know they could talk me down. ;) On the rare occasion that I ever have to call them, I generally always hang up with a smile. It's so wonderful. :)

I digress. I love having a physical keyboard over a SIP. I write e-mails on my phone all day long to friends or customers. I'm not fond of them, but I also get a steady stream of text messages from the rich people I deal with, since they don't like to be bothered by a voice call. This was the number one reason I went with the TP2 over the HD2. I just went for the highest spec'd WM device with a keyboard. This is by far the best keyboard I've ever used. My previous favorite keyboard was on my old Sable (HP iPAQ hw6945). It was a portrait style, with nice domed buttons. Even though the buttons were small, they were still extremely easy to press correctly. I just wish HTC would have made a keyboard version of the HD2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Is the HD2 not a Micro USB?

All new cell phones use a Micro USB, instead of the Mini USB. A quick google for HD2 USB Mini found this: http://www.softsailor.com/news/7898...-and-comes-micro-usb-instead-of-mini-usb.html

It might not be accurate, but it says that it is a Micro USB.

I paid $0.00 for my Tilt2 in August. It may have been $1.00. EIther way, it was almost nothing. $350 is the early cancelation fee. Each month takes $10 off of that. So, if I terminated my contract now, I would owe about $300. That is about what the non contract price is.

My plan only allows for 200 text messages per month. I normally don't even use 100. Probably closer to 20 or 30 in a typical month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
No, you're right. I haven't had a HD2 in my hands in a while. I was drawing that from memory. I could have sworn it was the same plug, but it isn't.

I'm just not a big fan of contracts, and I'm an even smaller fan of AT&T. I deal with them on and off about the Internet and cable here. I only have the option of them or Comcast, so they are just the lesser of two evils for me. AT&T's customer service department makes me want to call T-Mobile to prevent me taking my own life out of frustration.

I don't like text messages. I much prefer voice calls. I find texting to be very impersonal, but when they want to pay me for my time, I don't mind it so much. Answering text messages costs them a minimum of 15 minutes of my time even when it is less than that. I rather answer e-mails. There's more room to type out explanations, and I don't feel quite as rushed to answer them. I don't charge anything to answer those. It's how I try to keep customers from texting me. :) I have an unlimited text plan, but I'd still prefer not to use it.

cajunflavoredbob--

Having just purchased a Tmobile TP2, and already up and running with the latest EnergyROM (thanks to all the help here), I had to chuckle with agreement about your Tmobile comments. They do try hard, and more-or-less helped me sort out a knotty 3G spec problem.

My phone was supposed to be an international HTC TP2, but the Amazon-connected company sent me a new Tmobile instead. In July, I'll be moving for a 3-year tour in Greece so this was of concern. I must've spent an hour with a very supportive tech support who were bewildered as I was, but Tmobile did work hard to help.

Finally, I found this post:

forums.t-mobile.com/t5/International/Do-TMobileUSA-1700-2100-MHz-3G-phones-work-on-European-2100-MHz/m-p/318951

and I think the mistake of a Tmobile TP2 may be in my favor, meaning that w/ 2100MHz, US users get both 3G in US and Europe.

I'll find this post again and edit it when I'm in Athens and sure of the connection.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I seriously doubt that it will work. The RHOD210 uses UMTS Band IV, which is 1700MHz/2100MHz, not UMTS Band I, which is 2100MHz only. The TMoUS Touch Pro2 is equipped to handle uploads in the 1700MHz spectrum, while downloads are processed in the 2100MHz spectrum. It is not (to my knowledge) equipped to handle simultaneous uploads and downloads on its 2100MHz radio. The RHOD100 is the one with the radio supporting UMTS Band I, I believe.

If it does indeed work in your favor, then please do tell us so. This would be a huge improvement to the list of features for our aging device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stevedebi:
I use SPB Keyboard, which allows one to use the CTL+C, V, or X. That is what I did before I had a physical keyboard, and I still use it almost daily on my TP2.

Thank you again for replying. It's not my intention to insult you by writing that your replies didn't address my question. I'm sorry for apparently insulting you by writing that.

For anybody searching this thread in the future, I finally received an e-mail response from a T-Mobile engineer. He wrote me that the specifications T-Mobile USA sends to manufacturers who make phones that T-Mobile sells require that the phones be able to transmit both upstream and downstream in the 2100 MHz band in UMTS protocol. This means that T-Mobile USA phones claiming to support "UMTS 900/1700/2100" should be fully compatible with the UMTS ("3G") system used in Europe by all GSM companies, which use the 2100 MHz band for upstream and downstream transmittance. This is quite good news!
