[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] RemE:
Just a blip to say thank you for all of the great roms. I've reluctantly jumped to an iPhone 4S and have the following observations after a few weeks use. I am NO apple fanboy, these are simply cold hard user observations.

1 - The Bluetooth stack is simply the most robust radio I've ever used. I have 3 different Jawbones (Era and Icons) with A2DP support, JamBox, BlueAnt ST3 car speaker phone. They connect and disconnect with no issues, EVER. I am really amazed at how graceful the phone handles the audio hand-offs between music, nav (copilot), and phone calls. It gently fades volume down and back as different sources kick in and out, so solid I often just shake my head in amazment. Phone call comes in while listening to a podcast, it pauses, takes call, then fades back in and resumes podcast.

2 - Siri is correctly called Beta, the concept is good and when it works it's pretty cool, BUT... if there is no net connect to Apple servers, then NO voice functions at all. Siri learns your characteristics over time, so if you turn Siri off to get back at least basic needed voice control while on the road, all learned data about you is DUMPED. When you re-enable Siri you start from scratch, this sucks, and Siri fails to connect often enough make Siri a gimmick for now. Apple needs to have a fallback to basic voice control when there is no net connect.

Also, asking Siri "read me all my new messages" while on the road yields "Sorry Ed, you need to unlock your phone first", not easy when the phone is holstered and under a seatbelt. They need to allow user configurations to allow this if desired.

The "iCloud" simply SCREWED my Outlook 2007 and Apple nor Microsoft knew how the program should work so I had to unload the cloud and restore my data, this was almost a deal breaker in the 1st week.

The reason I've kept the phone is its sheer stability and the solid slew of apps I am now using. The Photo/video is stunning. I took HD video while flying in my buddy's Robinson helicopter and the video was solid and stable, the audio was suprisingly good as well. The app "360panorama" is nothing short of magic. Stills are sooo crisp.

The capacitive touch could not be more responsive and fluid, battery life is only fair, 64GB is really nice to have to store all this stuff.

So I bid you all farewell for a while at least, I need to check out Energy Android phones at some point but I have to say that while I am still not an Apple fan I have to respect the solid work that they have put out, it just works.

Again, thanks for all of the help and tips!

Still need help if anyone has a link or page for previous roms. I can't see the volume bar in my sense music tab. Only a tenth of it show. Also can't link my contacts to their facebook accounts and was hoping a previous rom would clear those issues up.

I was going to ask if Apple fixed that whole "put duct tape over the antenna and hold it like "this" stuff
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
"We didn't release a defective product. You're all just holding it wrong. Did we mention it's $30 for a colored rubber band to fix it?"

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] RemE:
Again, no spin, I was in the same camp regarding Apple. I did let my daughters get the original iPhone4 and they have not had any connection issues over the last year, but they are primarily texters. I thought the antenna-gate was a black eye for Apple but honestly my daughters have never complained. The free "rubber band" edge protector turns out to be a very well engineered hibrid of silicone rubber and hard plastic ring molded together. It has seperate volume and power buttons imbedded, and when installed seems like part of the phone. My daughters have since dropped their phones countless times on carpets and concrete, the hard plastic shows major saves, theirs are all chipped on the corners. No broken phones yet.

My new 4S has their new "dual diversity" antenna system, two antennas, one at each end of the phone (original only had antenna at bottom). I have the unlimited data plan and streamed data virtually non stop for a 5 hour drive up the coast thru Los Angeles with almost complete non-stop coverage. I'm not seeing any call drop issues out of norm of any phone I've used. The phone is solid, transmission wise.

I had to buy and am using the optional Apple "Bumper" rubber/plastic band. It is VERY well made and frankly should be included with the phone, but that's Apple for you. I do think it's the best, most compact protection even if over priced, I tried cheaper ones and they were just that. I then found a desk charger stand from KiDiGi that is designed for the phone with bumper, works great. I found a great leather holster for the phone, and a good vent clip Dash Mount for the car for Nav and general access while driving. The really nice thing about the iPhone 4 is that there are a TON of great cheap accessories available out there but you need to take care to get ones designed for the bumper if you use one.

I originally was bummed that Apple chose to release a 4S instead of the 5, but now after using mine and finding all these great accessories already available I'm really glad it worked out this way. Had the phone been all tapered and rounded, there would be no 3rd party accessories for a few months, plus this bumper is much better than I imagined. I think I prefer it over any other method as it's the only thing that takes the hits and is easily replaceable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Glad you're happy with your new device. My personal choice is to not support Apple by giving them my money, since they appear to be so determined on stifling any sort of market competition. I do own an iPod Classic, that I love, but recently found out that Spotify can manage my library. This thrilled me to no end that I no longer have to rely on slow, bloated iTunes.

I may feel the way I used to about Apple if they would cut it out already with the patent wars. I used to poke a bit of fun at the company and its users, but all in jest until this recent madness began. Who the hell tries to put a patent on multi-touch screens when you didn't even use them for twenty three years AFTER they were invented?! A patent on any gesture based unlock? Really? Android's icons look like the iPhone icons? They're frigging icons. Who the eff cares? The list goes on, but I digress. Apple is currently at the top of my $|-|1+ list.

As I said, I'm glad you enjoy your new toy, but, for me personally, I wouldn't purchase an iPhone no matter how amazing the wireless service is with one.

My daughter dropped her I-Phone a couple of months ago, and I was in no mood to replace it. So, on her own, she found the Motorola Charm, an Andoid, Blackberry-format kind of deal. $124 USD shipped, and she never looked back.

She has a Rain Man approach to electronics--doesn't know why she likes it, but always knows how many toothpicks are lying on the floor. I found it fascinating that she could switch from the Apple OS to Android without complaint.

Any chance to get one last ROM for the Tilt 2?

Hi,

I still have a very good working Tilt 2 and was hoping there was a chance to get one last ROM for the Tilt 2.

Any chance?

Raudel
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] voidzero:
Yes, I was hoping for this too. A latest ROM just to say goodbye... :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
I remember CFB I think tweeted NRG to ask him to do a final rom when the latest rom came out from MS. NRG tweeted that he would do 1 last rom but I think his work on other roms has taken over... Understandable tho since he's not using this phone anymore... I think there's a very very small chance that we will see another rom for the TP2 from him... Sure was great while it lasted...

This is the reason that most ppl from this thread only talk about what new phone we all want to get... I for 1 was really hoping that ATT would bring out another good slider phone but the Captivate Glide looks like it's the best we're getting and it's specs are a little outdated... Guess I'm gonna have to wait a lil longer or move onto touchscreen only and learn to live w/o a kb...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Apatche69:
I was a rhodium owner for a little under 2 years since this phone was the replacement phone for my fuze. I was very lucky to have found this Rom and was reluctant to move to an all touch screen phone from the sliders. The texting gets a bit of getting used to but I have found that I am able to text faster with my vivid than I ever was on my tp2. It's a solid phone and I highly recomend that any tp2 users hesitant on making the jump to check it out when you can. It feels solid and is a good stock experience on android right now since we don't have root due to a locked bootloader. This thread was great and I was glad to be a part of it. Good luck

Kitchen Release?

Will the chef release the kitchen like others did after moving on so apprentices could play with it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
I don't remember hearing anything from NRG on that subject, but you should go on to his twitter and ask him there. I don't think he'd have a problem with that since he doesn't use it anymore... Good luck to you. If he does give it to you, you should post up links to any roms you make here so we can try em out for ya...lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I really doubt it. Most chefs use custom built kitchen that are meant for only them to use, or might expose a secret of theirs to someone else. I know it's a sharing community, but it still has a bit of healthy competition. Even I have a custom kitchen for my personal ROMs that I wouldn't share with many people, if any at all.

It would be nice to get a peak at it, but I honestly wouldn't hold my breath for it. Sorry to be the party-pooper, but that's how it is.

Hi, thanks for the great roms! Just flashed the first/top one (Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jul.04) and have just one question. I'm still getting the old school top/bottom menu bars, skinny with the start button at the top, I would really like the more finger friendly ones like in the screenshots. Tried reflashing and hard reset. Is this a setting? Please advise.

The ROM you have (Sense 2.1 or 2.5, build, date)

Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jul.04

The device you have (there are variants of the Rhodium)

Rod210

The Radio you have

3.46.25.18

Your location

Seattle

Your service provider

T-Mobile

The steps you took to get to the problem so we could try to reproduce it

Flashed, attempted reflash/hard reset etc.

If you tested it with a bare ROM to confirm it is not something you installed/restored

clean install

Any pictures showing the screens affected (if applicable)

just normal bars like in Jackos S3 screens, for example, not like these or Jackos Evo.

please advise,

Thanks!

Even though we didn't need all of that information, this is the type of post that we love to see here. Thank you for reading that FAQ first and posting all of that information. It really shows that you tried.

Anyway, the finger-friendly version is the 29022 SYS build. It uses the 6.5.3 AKU. The one you are using right now is 21916 SYS build using the 6.5.1 AKU. Just go back to the download folder and download Energy.RHODIUM.29022.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jul.04.7z. Flash that and you're good to go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
Gotcha, totally understandable. Just figured since ms wasn't working on anything new for wm6.5 he wouldn't mind giving up the old kitchen since it really wouldn't ever be used again....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm not sure how it works, but he may still be using a modified version for the Android ROMs. I know next to nothing about that OS, though, so I may be wrong. It is more about the person who made the custom kitchen than anything. The person who made mine wouldn't appreciate me sharing it with anyone, so I don't. May be the same situation. It would be nice, but may remain a dream for us.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] holmanm:
I hope that was a typo otherwise that's an odd stance to have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] macelius:
LOL I'm a STE so it's kind of a habit. Aaah, I see, so I did pick the wrong one, now that I look again I don't know how 21916 registered as a higher build number than 29022 in my head, I just have been up too long. Thanks so much for the tip!

~M

wooo, page 3567!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Lol. Good catch. I blame autocorrect. Fixed it.

Higher numbers don't mean much of anything with SYS builds. There is a description of what they mean in my sig. Basically, the first three numbers denote the branch that each build belongs to. The last two numbers show the actual build number for that branch. More details in the link in my sig.

This is a long standing WM bug. When it happens, the only thing you can do is pray you have what you need backed up, because only a reflash will fix it.

I suggest performing a task29, then flashing a ROM from the bootloader. If you need instructions, follow the link in my sig. The first post contains a trove of information about flashing.

I have an HTC Tilt 2. I've been getting by with the arcane software that came with the phone, but recently its been freezing at least every hour so I finally turned to the custom ROM side and so far its been awesome. But I have a question which is after the details.

It has the most up to date ROM of whenever they released Sense to it. I think its 2.054 or something like that. Before I flashed everything I did a factory reset to start from brand new.

I don't know how to run this. The file is just a registry key file, and I'm not confident enough to go in and edit the registry to do this. Are there any other instructions for this? Currently the max size is 300k in my phone and I would like it to be 600k.

I've searched this thread but haven't been able to find anything. The only thing I found about anything related to AT&T and MMS was here:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If no one else gets to it before I get back home this evening, I can turn that reg file into a cab for you. Someone may be able to assist you in modifying the registry as well. It isn't difficult. I believe Energy ROMs have an application or task manager installed that can import registry files as well.

Enjoy it. Keep in mind that I'm not offering you any sort of guarantee or support on this file. All I did was package the registry file into a cab. Nothing more, nothing less. Any issues should be referred to the original poster of the file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
Not sure if CFB is making a cab for you...but here's how to install a .reg file:

Unzip the file (contains ArcSoftMMS.reg)

Place ArcSoftMMS.reg on the root of your SD card.

Go to Start, Tools, Registry editor

Select the bottom left icon in the registry editor...will bring up a pop-up menu. Select "import"...migrate to your SD Card and select the ArcSoftMMS.reg file and select the file and choose "Done". This will import the .reg file.

Recommend reboot...and then test...

EDIT:

LOL...I guess he beat me to it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
@lordodrag86

You should definitely use this method over my cab. This will teach you how to do it yourself. I won't always be in a good enough mood to make a cab for you. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lordodrag86:
Yeah, I was gonna go with this method. I would want to learn how to do things myself. On a side note, is there a place where I can learn to make my own cabs?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Making cabs is simple given the right software. I know there is a program that does it for free, but is very limited, though its name escapes me. I use WinCE Cab Manager, which is not free. I've had a license on it for a long time. There is also Visual Studio that creates cabs, but, again, that one isn't free. Creating them, and doing so properly, is more a matter of trial and error than anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lordodrag86:
Thanks for the info. I have Visual Studio so I'll mess around with it there.

I'm pretty sure I used to use an add-on for CHT that did this along with overall phone uptime and a few other things. Search around in the CHT add-on threads in the WM apps forum.

All GSM Rhodium devices follow the exact same procedures. It is only different for CDMA devices.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] josemald:
Not quite, ATT phones need a CAB before HardSPL. At least according to this: http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/#flash. That's the set of instructions I followed two years ago.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
As far as I recall, Tilt2 devices had a crippled tethering function. The only thing required by HSPL is a stable ActiveSync connection. No one should need anything extra other than the HSPL anymore. I could be wrong, but I recall having this discussion last year with someone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lordodrag86:
As someone who just did this for the first time, I can support this. All I needed was the ActiveSync connection.

On a side note: Does anyone know how to change the sound that is played when you change the volume? I can't find it.

And under the CHTEditor how do you know which soft keys are which?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
JVH3 had a post a while back about how to change the volume sound. There are five files that need to be edited at different volume levels for it to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bummler:
'Energy'

* This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster

* This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.

* There are no homescreen addon-ons in this ROM. The best speed and the most stock functionality.

is it possible to change the backround colour or use some wallpapers/pictures as backround in this version?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] josemald:
Yes, at least with Cookie 2.0. You can use a wallpaper only for the home screen, or for all the Sense tabs, and for landscape orientation. I don't know for the other versions of the Rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bummler:
2.0 is the 29022 version right? but i would like to install the 21916 cause its faster and more stabil...there its not possible to change the homescreen with wallpapers?
