Trying out the SPB Version

I'm trying out the Chef's version with SPB cooked in, but I'm having one problem that I can't find a solution to other than purchasing a license before I give it a try.

When everything comes up after flashing, the main screen is not functional. If you press the registration button it takes you to a page with a statement saying that you have 15 days from 1st use to try it out, but at the bottom of the page it says you have 0 days remaining (which explains the non-functional home page). Is there any way to use it on a trial basis or do I have to purchase a license and return it if I decide not to continue using it? (A hassle, but not un-doable.)

The only reference I can find performing a Google search states that you can download a trial version, but not how to turn a trial version "on". I don't want to download another version on top of the cooked version if I can help it – I’ll buy a license before doing that.

Thank you in advance for any advice you have.

I tried migrating and it turned into a nightmare. Was much slower and had memory issues and some instability.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dex1701:
How long ago? IMO the newer 6.5.3/5 Sense 2.5 ROMs are much, much better than the ones we were seeing months ago. I have no stability issues at all, and if you disable the tabs you don't use speed is tolerable to good.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buffalosolja42:
Didn't experience that......just uninstall spb and reinstall it, basically he setup a custom interface which is easily changeable to your needs and it should fix, Now on the other hand has anyone been able to get the facebook and twitter apps runing on spb I haven't since I have been using which isn't to big a deal with the facebook wm app and things like motweet, but if it integrates the pics of my friends like in sense it would be nice.

I'm going to help a friend with his stock ATT Tilt-2 and flash him to Energy as he currently hates the phone. I told him that this will help a lot, but he asked about a different dialer for his large fingers.

Is there any chance that there is a Fat Ass'ed Dialer cab that would be compatible with Energy Roms? He'd like to have the screen be mostly all keypad and is fine with no history showing. Is this at all possible???

Thanks for any pointers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] domi007:
Hello,

I am trying to download the 21 XXX build with Sense2.5, but no success. I tried your hotfiles folder and the EnergyROM mirror, both with Firefox and Internet Explrorer (took me a whole afternoon, because my Internet is pretty slow). All I got is an error message (this is from Firefox, but IE gives me a really similar one too) just before it finishes:

Energy.RHODIUM.21899.Sense2.5.Apr.17.7z.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

I will try rebooting my PC, but still I wanted you guys to know about this.

Thanks,

DOMy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MOster:
This is extremely useful. Thanks very much!

Do you have the full documentation on this, or is there a way to generate it from an existing phone configuration? There are a few other items that I'd like to add.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SinisterJunkie:
Just downloaded fine. Might be your connection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] domi007:
OKay, sounds weird, because the mirror is located somewhere else, so it is almost impossible that both of the servers have bad connection with me.

Anyway I will keep investigating, restarting my PC didn't solve the problem, so I will try downloading from Ubuntu Linux, and will also restart my router.

Thank you for the feedback.

i have had problem after problem ever since i flashed to the 21899 apr 18th cht 1.7.1, namely poor performance in sense, and weather being totally screwed up, it was too the point where the weather would not update, then with a little registry diving i was able to disable the current location weather and reset it to a list of major cities which were easily removed and replaced with my home city, once i did that however, cht was still displaying the old not updated weather info on the clock, so i ended up just using the clock without the weather, what a hassle...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] derylmccarty:
I actually did not have to uninstall the NRG Mobile Shell version, just install my already owned copy of SPB MS, along with the appropriate serial number and voila, worked like a charm AND kept the NRG and my personal settings and arrangements. Plus it added in the unlocked menu's that the unregistered versions don't have. I was able to manipulate the NRG unregistered version of MS within the limits of the "crippling" including being able to log on to Facebook and NRG Twitter.

I agree with NRG that using SPB's MS represents a smoother, faster shell than Sense and and it certainly uses a lot less footprint. Beyond that, you may note that MS 5.0 (skipping a 4.0) has been announced and rumor has it that it will be out this year. If it is anywhere near as smooth as MS 3.5.3 and has more stuff, Sense will be outclassed on machines with less than a 1 GB Snapdragon. And you can just "Sense" that HTC is trying to control the shell market by employing Microsoft's 1999 tactic of more code is more better. SPB seems to want to go the route of less code, but more stuff.

If we don't do this right, we'll end up in 2020 with a PDA with petabyte CPU using a petabyte of RAM/ROM with 256 bit addressing and still complaining about code bloat and program lag.

Sorry, soap box mode off.

Remember, help NRG help us all, send him a few bucks for a brewski. If you don't believe in brewskis, buy him a cuppa joe. If you are not into coffee, then enough to let him visit the ranch in Henderson. All code and no play makes NRG a dull boy.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Thresher:
Thanks NRG, this ROM is great, I really have enjoyed your roms and the way you set it up. Thanks to the community too! So many incredible apps and tweaks!

I did a search for a few terms but I was unable to find any posts within this thread replying to some peoples issues regarding WAP sites.

Opera and IE both keep forwarding me to WAP sites, no matter the option for mobile or desktop sites within the options. I am on AT&T and have never really understood what the "Proxy" on and off switch does...

Do I need to disable to proxy to get desktop versions of sites?

Yes, he's still making 2.1 ROMs, latest is Apr 20 23563 version, also Apr 17 21899, download link in the second post. I have also been on 2.1 ROMs for some time, but I recently tried 2.5/Cookie and I love it, very nice functionality, stable, no slower, etc, etc. I recommend you give it a try.

No, just a later 23xxx version so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TEE82:
I fully agree...I was also previously a long time user of 2.1 and switching 2.5 was such a smooth and easy transition w/CHT. Definitely give it a shot.

did you try any other devices? was encryption on or off?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] christhedon:
Thats interesting. I had opposite experience. I liked the functionality but not the general behaviour...

Do you have 3 or more email accounts set-up to auto recieve every 30 minutes and have 30 days of history on them?

Do you have lots of text messages? e.g. >1000

Do you use tasks and calendar functionality?

Thanks,

Chris
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jdantuma:
I did mention this a few time before, but I still have no solution, so I try it again :).

My text message counter doesnt work. Tried to reflash my phone etc. But that didnt solve the problem. In the registry I tried to change the number manualy, that worked. The indicator showed me the number I put their. So in some way the counter wont be updated after I receive a text message.

E-mail/missed calls etc. works perfect. ..... anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moopile:
Did you happen to install any cab such as:

NRGZ28 HTC Messaging Client (All Sense 2.5 ROMs).cab

Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.CAB

or other Messaging cab?

If so, they may be interfering. I know some of the disable HTC msg cabs break notifications.

Also, I see in a previous post you install Sprite backup. You aren't restoring anything besides PIM with it are you? If so, registry changes could be the problem.

I also see you change icons. Does this problem occur if you use the stock icons?

Do the notifications work if you use the default theme?

Just some ideas. Maybe something will help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gshadow325:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
Thanks to both you and buffalosolja42 for your reply. Since it's cooked in there isn't anything to uninstall so I tried downloading the trial cab. Unfortunately it didn't override the cooked in version to give me 15 days. I'll just buy a license and return it in 30-days (as they let you do) if I decide not to keep it. Judging by your comments and those on the SPB boards, though, I'll probably be pretty happy with it.

I'll update my sig once I know I'm keeping it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jdantuma:
I use Sprite backup only for PIM, documents, and some settings like: sounds/notifications, about. Thats it ... I dont backup anything else.

And changing icons: I only change some icons from apps I download with Marketplace. Some icons are lowres... and I like them highres. Thats it.

I dont change anything like htc messaging or something. I keep the stuff NRG cooks in ...

But maybe sprite is the bully. Next time I flash, I will test without sprite.

Thanks for the info!

Reported it.

My bad. You are on the latest of that flavor.

I think you can search for "increase sms recipients". In fact, I did and found:

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings\LimitSMSR ecipients

Change the value from 10 to 999

Try that or do the same search and read a couple more link than I did.

I think you would be in the minority with experiences like that. Did you use Task29 before flashing?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mspingeld:
That was start/tools/carrier provisioning. Tried it. Didn't work so I tried again with a soft reset afterward. Still no good. My test is www.yahoo.com but it keeps taking me to m.yahoo.com.

Also, when I go back in to carrier provisioning, should the on/off stay in the on position? It doesn't.

Thanks for the help.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] LoGaY:
i've many questions for it : :D :D :D

1. Are there any way to accelerate the movement of weather animations in HOME TAB? just like in weather tab.

2. I've just already set the Data connections "always on" in data controller, but sometimes the signal still connect, but i've no connections, cause i cannot browse in my opera, i should turn off the data, and then turn back on, after that i can browse in my opera. and then i read this :

and

do you think that useful?

:D :D :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] doublen1:
Gotcha, there are a couple places that affect the vibration, one is buried in the Cookies home tab settings and another is in the windows settings. I would give you better directions but I am dinking around with this new Android port.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mspingeld:
Yes, it's unchecked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
I couldn't get Mobile Shell to run because the "trial" period shows as expired right from the flash and I've been working to find a way to get the free trial. I'd really like to give it a try, though. I'm curious as to your thoughts why you prefer CHT (which is what I'm using). Feel free to PM me if you feel that's more appropriate.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Zylograth:
I think I just prefer the look and feel of CHT since it is basically sense and that is what I am used to. If you want to try mobile shell and it is giving you trial ended errors you could always google and find a serial to use to give you a chance to try it out.

plus I prefer 21xxx over 23xxx so that is the build i am using, NRGZ MS version only comes in 23xxx flavor.

Loving the SPB mobile shell.

mobile shell version is nice light and I have gone 2 days without charging ;) down to like 30% now but phone is still moving alone, I get on average 45+ emails a day and talk a bit and it is still running good. If you decide not to pay for SPB they give you a 30day money back guarantee.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
Thanks for the info. I will try Mobile Shell at some point even if I have to buy a license and return it if I decide against using it. SPB gives a 30-day "no-questions-asked" money-back guarantee, but I'd rather not have to go through the trouble of a return if I can avoid it.

Well, I am surprised by how far Energy has come along... A couple months ago I tried some Energy ROMs but they were always too packed with apps, too memory and battery hungry, and just did not suit my needs. Last night in my frustration with another ROM I decided to give Energy another try... And have been amazed by how well this is built. It's been as stable as stock. And best of all, EVERYTHING works, no exceptions. I have been compromising little things with my trials using DeepShining and 6.1 Hybrid ROMs. But after a day of use with Energy it seems I have finally found my ROM. I am using the classic 6.5 style ROM with CHT. I have to give a lot of credit to CookieMonster as well as NRGZ... This is one heck of a ROM. Memory usage has always been a concern for me, but with CHT I can free up a lot of memory by replacing WinMo lockscreen with CHT's lockscreen. Battery life has been excellent, even better than the WinMo6.1 ROM I was using before. I have experienced no glitches or bugs, if I still can't complain in a week I'm donating and sticking with Energy ROMs from now on. Might as well theme some apps to suit the Energy style on my phone as well. ;)
