[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
I have a question and an issue:

1- Is this now a CDMA thread? I know that NRGZ makes ROMs for many devices, and the ROMs have things in common. However, this thread is long enough just with GSM Rhodium, we don't need to add to it CDMA-related discussions. I am sure there is a thread somewhere for the CDMA ROMs.

2- Regarding tipping the Chef, I have an issue with the comments made here (I will not name names, but whoever made them knows what I am talking about). I am not NRGZ's attorney or proxy, but I am fed up with some things I am reading here.

To insinuate that the work of NRGZ is just a mere compilation of someone else's work, including HTC and Microsoft, is an appalling simplification and a very ungrateful attitude, to say the least. I can cook a meal with the same ingredients of a French cuisine chef but I can guarantee you that the results in appearance and in taste would not be the same. That is why we call the Chef a chef: one has to know what to put where, how much of it, etc.

NRGZ (like all other chefs) takes the original ROM and tweaks it for optimization, adds programs that HE feels important, uses the looks that HE likes, and shares with us HIS results. It is HIS ROM, like it or not. He spends lots of hours working on it, uploading, troubleshooting, answering questions, etc. and I don't think it is fair that a newcomer comes here to imply his work is not that important because he uses parts (programs, codes, images, etc.) that already exist.

Guess what: development of anything is building upon existing knowledge. If it was that easy, why don't we all go and create our own ROMs?

The funny thing is that the same author of the comments is the one who is constantly bugging us to thank him for his MINOR contributions, seeking a recognition instead of waiting to be recognized, complaining that people don't click enough on his "thank you" button. Is there a prize, a competition, any sort of reward for the number of "thank you" one receives, or this is just an oversized ego of an undersized mind?

Sorry for the long post, but enough is enough. No one here is obligated to recognize NRGZ's work or tip him, but lets at least show respect for a great member of this community with more services that most.

solution to Windows Mobile Device Center not connecting

Reboot your computer. Reconnect. Should work.

This is a frequent problem with Windows Mobile Device Center.

A solution that has helped keep this from happening.

Unininstall Windows Mobile Device Center.

Reboot.

Download the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center.

Reboot.

Problem will now happen much less frequently, if it happens at all.

I discovered my problem with energy.

The weather configuration was every 15 minutes, and I know that the sign 3G where I live it is not very good, in fact it is terrible (I live at a ranch and the city is in one worth).

This means that, it is not problem of the system or of my battery.

But yes an operational problem of telephony.

Joe, I'll just say this....

I'm not the type to sit there and enumerate a list of "friends" like Laurentius does. It's corny. I'm also not the type to sit there and "credit" every single developer of every single app in my ROM. I credit major contributors, like Cookie and the guys that designed the themes I use in my ROM variations. In short, I credit who *I* feel I need to credit. But overall, I'm not the "crediting type" of guy.

I know you like to get in the nitty gritty of over explaining your point, but realize you're in the minority here. I ask you to stop please. Thanks.

No more arguing about crap that doesn't really matter... This isnt the Android world where everybody has to be credited. We ALL steal from MSFT and HTC when it comes to WM. I'm sure they don't get a rat's ass if I credit them here. Most of the devs that made the little apps in my ROMs aren't around anymore, which is why I DO credit the ones that matter.

Okay, enough rambling. Please consider this matter closed.

See forum rules, specifically the first sentence of rule #12. As has been discussed many times, that also applies to apps and whatnot inside of ROMs.

Crediting is not optional.

Just posting this for Joe, seems everybody is against him ;) All I will say on the matter, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: App Creators Links & Thanks

Thanks for the pointer & support. :cool:

From the Forum rules:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Credits for apps

Instead of endlessly *****ing about this, why don't you do it for him and actually contribute in a postive way? After you make a post, with the info and links, he can move it to post 7 or 8 for you. And you can maintain a credits post like mmalka maintains the FAQ. I'd much rather he spend the time on the ROMs than maintaining a post of links.

Find the links that are to posts with apps that do not have a Help -> About page or other credit type screen.

Unless someone is seriously deficient in mental abilities, they already know that most apps have a Help->About which normally has a website or info about where it can be found and who created it.

This in itself is credit. The rule does not say how credit must be given. Authors of apps can easily put something like this in to get any recoginition that they want. Splash screens are also a good way. It's not like NRGZ28 removes Help About or Splash screens from Apps. Because of that, they get credit. My weather city editor is cooked into some ROMs from other chefs. I have a splash screen and a help about and am therefore getting credit.

Credit is already given to these apps in the ways that the authors wanted credit to be given. Most were created long before the Thanks feature ever existed on XDA. The threads that they come from do not even have the Thanks button on the first post.

The rules also do not say that the credit info must be on post #1, or within any particular number of posts. NRGZ28 often posts when things are added, like the LeChux graphics for the action screen. It might not be on post 1, but it is in the last 1000 posts.

He already gives credit to the posts with original artwork, such as the Themes.

I only know of 1 user on xda that ever thought that every ingredient in a ROM came from the Chef.

An example where no credit is needed. HTC issued a Twitter security fix. It did not work with our ROMs, because the cab they provided would not install on custom ROMs. CFB pointed it out to me. I extracted the cab and made a new cab that would install. This twitter fix is now in our ROMs. Obviously, I had no intellectual rights to the content in the fix, and as such, no credit is needed. When content is added to a ROM image, the cab isn't needed. Meaning that NRGZ28 does not use the cab to cook it in. He extracts it and puts it in the appropriate place in his kitchen. Then it gets cooked in. So, NRGZ28 wasn't the first to find it, but really neither was CFB or me. HTC put out the cab. And we all know that MS and HTC are the creators of the core packages. If we didn't know that, we should not be flashing ROMs to begin with.

Like wise as newer packages from MS or HTC become available, they will not always be listed. And as packages become old they will not be listed.

He has no obligation to create a full recipe card on how to cook this ROM.

Credit for apps

Or to add another idea to JVH's idea...start a new thread that won't clutter up this thread!!

Maybe mmalka could put a big, bold, one-line link to your thread of "NRG Credits by JB".

Yes...battery life is really good on 290xx. I just noticed yesterday at lunch time (5 hours), my battery was at 80%. 282xx would normally yield about 65% - 70%.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
First, I echo your sentiments that this 290xx version has been excellent - every bit as good (IMO) as 28244 which up until now has been my favorite (admitting again that I don’t tax my TP2 nearly to the level many of you do!). But I haven't noticed any improvement in battery life.

Just for grins, I stopped overclocking and that, of course, improved life. So I thought I’d go a day-or-two to see whether I miss the extra speed. As several have already pointed out, the speed of these ROM have improved to the point where overclocking makes only marginal improvements anyway.

It’s also entirely possible that it’s getting time for a new battery. If I remember correctly, one of the issues with a worn battery is reduced charge capacity which shows up as faster discharge, but that’s a guess whether it’s my issue.

BTW, I'm using the March 29th version of the 29017 CHT 2.0 ROM, but I couldn't get into User CP to make the change. I'll change it when I can.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] healthylaff:
Way past that solution...

Those were the first things I did! Here is what I've learned:

Like a dumbass, I should have tried a windows 7 system restore first... The registry got corrupted and I probably could have fixed it by restoring, but no, I had to be an IT sleuth.

Now, I've tried to uninstall/reinstall WMDC so many times that I don't have a restore point back to mid-March.

With Windows 7, WMDC is built right into OS--no need to install to sync with a TP2 (and I verified this on a friend's identical laptop, configured the same, who had never synced with any phone before), so there was a registry error created by the attempted sync with the new PocketQuicken PPC 2.5 install on the phone.

At this point, I think I need a registry guru to weigh in (Code 19 Error):

Can this be fixed?

If so, how?

Any registry repair programs going to do it?

Am I going to have to reinstall Windows 7 (please tell me "no")?

TIA (hopefully my stupidity will prevent someone else from making these grave mistakes).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] martian07:
WMDC sync problem

I think you are confusing between Windows Sync Center and WMDC, sync center is built into win7 but WMDC is not, if you connect a device it may download and install if you allowed it to.

I will suggest first you go to Sync Center and delete any existing partnership that you have for your phone, do the same in WMDC and also in your phone. make sure you have deleted the partnerships from all three places. After you have deleted all the partnership reboot both your phone and PC. Now when you connect your phone your PC should ask you to setup a new partnership, may be you can uncheck quicken first and let it sync other things. Later on you can change settings to sync quicken.

Also since you said Code19 error, do you see any problem in the Device Manager. Try connecting it to a different USB port.

Hope it works. Good luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] healthylaff:
tried most of this still will not sync...

Thanks for the clarification on Sync Center and WDMC... Sprint Tech Support informed me incorrectly.

PocketQuicken is long gone and I did not reinstall since reflashing the March 30 Energy ROM, so right now I'm not worried about that--simply trying to sync with Outlook and start from there.

I had previously deleted all the partnerships and reinstalled WMDC.

Where is the partnership info on the phone? I don't think I have any because I cannot find it.

Now, here's where I am:

I ran Wise Registry Cleaner and now I'm not getting the yellow Device Manager alert which alluded to Code 19; however, the phone still will not sync.

I'm going to uninstall WMDC one more time and reboot both devices...

Any other ideas, gang?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] hefman:
As you are getting code 19 errors, I believe your problem is related to the USB device drivers and not necessarily the registry. In Win7, you can just update/reinstall the device drivers through the device manager. I would try that first. You can also download and install the WMDC driver update from MS.

BTW... anyone else noticing that XDA seems to be super sloooooow the last couple days? I keep getting 504s and "service unavailable" screens too...

Also, on the main portal page, they posted that they are working around the clock to try to fix things.

I've uninstalled/reinstalled the WMDC so much already without success...

As for the device drivers, which items in the Device Manager specifically, please? All of my USB controllers are fine, and I no longer have any yellow warning triangles... I'm growing very frustrated... I have a million other things to do, and this is really sucking all my time...

Ok, here's the drill: All of the sync issues were actually predicated upon a problem with MS-Office, or more specifically, MS-Outlook!!!

I had 23 Windows Updates begging me to install, which I didn't want to do with these issues (thinking I may have to re-install windows). Upon reboot, the bloody thing synced just fine.

Hopefully, this will save this heartache for others. Thanks to all that helped--good forum!

For those looking for the "standard" NRG ROM from 3/30/11, there is none.

Take the plunge!!

or,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] holmanm:
Are you just saying there is none now, or have inside info that NGRZ28 isn't going to make a new standard version?

I appreciate what Cookie has done with Sense but it's still to cookie cutter (no pun intended) for me. I use Homescreen++ and Ultimate Launch to get use out of every square inch of my screen real estate, so I want the small footprint of the Standard version. My ideal would be the Titanium version (which he has seemed to abandoned) but with NGRZ28's apps loaded in. But I am still hoping for Standard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Lavell7298:
Are you recommending these ROMs for their performance or because they're the latest and greatest? This is a question of curiosity. I'm not being sarcastic. I'm asking because I have the Energy.RHODIUM.29017.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.15 installed on my Touch Pro2 (T-mobile) with radio version 4.49.25.95 and I have yet to find a reason to move from it.

But as I said in an earlier post...stats don't compare to how it FEELS in my hand. I don't want to sway anyone! It is just that on my device, this latest ROM by NRG has outdone my standard base ROM.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
I'm really fed up with you trying to diminish the value of what I did for the Action screen in color. Lechux did not create most of the icons he uses as I quoted him saying it in a previous post: Deviant Art & HTC system icons as one can see by hitting Action. That's why I used them, because they were consistent with the HTC icons one can see on the slider or by searching thefiles in Windows w/ Total Commander. Somebody had to notice that the B&W icons used in previous Action screen ROMs weren't consistent with the rest of the ROM and had to put the ****e together, post cabs with the tweak and push it here in this thread.

Start a stop watch, download some Lechux icon sets and make & post a Photoshop template for the NRG action screen (which was created by Ammar BTW) here & don't forget to convert the file to fit in the ROM and tell me how long it took you to do it. :mad:

And that's not mentioning the research to find out which files were responsible for the Action screen, how to mod it and going through a ton of not suitable icon sets. I would appreciate attribution from you like this: Action screen w/ color buttons tweak by Joe Bleau based on Lechux's icon sets. I'm not asking the chef to do that as he said thanks in this thread and that's good enough for me.
