Re: Changelog March 8th, 2011

Why so cryptic with * etc...?

Where did you get that info please, it's not on page #1 of this thread nor on page #1 of NRG's site nor in the README.doc that appears when starting the flash process w/ Rhodium_SoftwareUpgrade.exe:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] motisu:
Its in the HD2 thread. NRGZ28 usually update the changelog first in that thread.

P.S.-- Now flashing Mar08 build. I'll get back with comments soon.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] token2k6:
Well I did notice that there is a 'standard' Energy, non-Cookie 2.0 version for the March 8th release, which I figured we weren't ever going to get again. I'm torn b/t the two..obviously non-2.0 will run better, and its like do I really need ver2.0?? I'm going to try the original and see if I get any hangs or random sense resets..

HTC Tilt 2 ROM Flashing Problem

Hello Everyone - I have an issue with my phone and was hoping for some help if someone wants to tackle this. Thanks in advance!

I purchased my phone in June of last year and performed the Hard SPL and flashed one ROM to it. (It was from here, but I do not remember which one) I kept that ROM until yesterday when I wanted to flash the Energy GTX ROM to my phone. I followed the directed listed and it would not flash. The screens appear with the progress bar on the computer and phone but after 10 to 20 minutes, it is still at 0%. I have tried this process with the SIM and SD Card in and with both removed.

I also found a thread with directions to flash the ROM from the phone itself and that did not work either.

I was able to flash the newest update from AT&T/HTC, but nothing else. Any idea what is going on here? I would like to update this ROM, but am not sure how to proceed.

Energy.RHODIUM.29008 Mar.08 & Memory Usage

Turned off my spare Tilt 2, removed SIM & memory card connected phone via Active Sync and ran task29 to clean the phone to guaranty a clean install.

After Task29 the phone was now stuck on the MainSplash screen (normal) so I pressed Volume Down + Reset switch while still connected to the PC to go in Bootloader Mode.

Flashed the phone with the Mar.08 NRG ROM.

Disconnected from PC while the phone was starting to reboot and after 5 minutes it was still stuck in the Starting Sense window so I tapped on the End key to get to Home.

Restarted the phone for good measure, still w/o SIM nor memory card.

The Tilt 2/Touch Pro2 512 MB total onboard memory is divided in three parts: ROM reserved for the phone itself & not accessible to the user, Storage (that can be expanded w/ a memory card) and most importantly RAM memory needed for running programs and labelled Free Program below.

Out-of-the-box stock Energy.RHODIUM.29008.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.08 w/o SIM and checking data with > Home > Slider to Settings > SD card & phone storage:

Total Storage: 245.60 MB

Used Storage: 64.54 MB

Free Storage: 181.05 MB

Total Program: 185.48 MB

Used Program: 110.85 MB

Free Program: 74.63 MB (vs. 73.33 for Feb.27) >> 70.24 MB after inserting the SIM & restarting the phone.

Free Program: 60 MB after inserting SIM, Activesync once to PC & disconnecting, locking the phone once, opening once all the folders & sub-folders in the Start Menu including the ones found under the Settings tab, opening once the Home > Slider > Weather and Settings tabs.

As usual the phone is ready to go after inserting the SIM, time & time zone and My Location correct & auto network settings worked fine. Important for those w/o an unlimited data plan: by default > Home > Slider to Settings > Data Service > Weather is set to Download data automatically every 1 hour and Download when roaming is enabled!

I did not tweak nor import any settings nor installed any programs and played with it for 30 minutes. Phone is fluid, similar to Feb.27 or Feb.19. The UI is visually the same except for the slider box fix. No new apps, no new themes in Start > Settings > Home.

Waiting for the heavy testers to give me a reason to flash my main phone running Feb.27. ;)

Edit: Installed Whip2Snap to make those screen captures:

Flash of Energy.RHODIUM.29008.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Mar.08 - as is without XDA_UC

Before I headed for work, I copied RHODIMG.nbh to my storage care.

I flashed it at work. I did not run XDA_UC.

Sync with exchange

I applied my companies certificate and synchronized.

Then, I manually setup my exchange account. the HTC setup screen does not let you enter a domain.

After it failed, the windows screen popped up asking for authentication. There I could enter my domain. I also needed to enter my user name, since it is not the same as my email address.

Everything synced fine over the air.

I have since gone to all tabs. I manually authenticated twitter and facebook. Verified that My Location worked on the weather tab. Favorite People all showed up. Of course not in the same spots as before. There is nothing in the contact to indicate the position.

<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->

<Favorite>actionid:ViewContactCard</Favorite>

Verified that the Internet tab works and the visual Bookmarks get set when you go to the site.

verified that the G-Sensor works with Camera and Calculator.

Made a test call. It worked. Did not see a differenc in the dialer though.

In a metal building, so I can't test GPS yet. I would not expect this to be affected though.

With the stock start menu, I still have 48MB left after doing all that.

The slider graphic is corrected.

Set alarm using HTC User interface and tested it. It worked.

After soft reset and only staying on the home screen. Waiting until the twitter tab caused a sound. Sim is in phone.

Free Memory is about 75 MB. This is with the normal start menu.

After lcoking the screen an unlocking, it is of cours about 5 MB less.

Known / Found Issues:

#1 Action->Contact-> select Outlook Contact

Notice the red background. Fix is to apply the cab by Swiss420. Link will come later.

All looks good so far.

From a user perspective, the changes are not significant between this and the Feb 28th. It seems smoother though.

Downloaded GPS data.

Going to lunch now and will be testing GPS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
To compare smoothness to how it was before flashing, you need to install all your usual stuff first IMO.

Comparing stock Feb.27 to stock Mar.08 on my spare Tilt 2, I can't see a difference.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lean04:
it´s seems like you don´t have the hard spl installed. you should read in the second line of the tricolor screen 0.85.OliNex. i think that is why you can flash stock rom but not cooked...

maybe someone with more experience can clarify this topic
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
No, you're right. He doesn't have Hard SPL. Once that gets installed, he'll be able to flash non-OEM ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
Using 29008 with TMobile HTC TP2.

Anecdotally, I find it shaves about ten seconds off my cold start, from 95 to 85 seconds (this is w/ WinMoSpeed oc-ed at 748 in \Startup)

I think I read that this ROM would have Joe Bleau's curtain-remover for Tabs, but I found the curtain still there, and removed it as usual w/ JB's cab.

Hey, could someone do me a favor: give me the default /show/adjust_sort_tabs settings in Total Commander? I was trying to customize them and the columns are haywire every time I restart and I don't know the defaults. They go like this:

Name:

Size:

Date:

Thanks,

Jake
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 5318008:
I love it for its S2P integration and notifications. I also don't need enterprise-level security, just anti-pocket-dialing capabilities. It's the only lockscreen I use.

You win today's Internets for this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
I never thought to try WinMoSpeed in Start-up to speed things up. I'll give that a try to see if it improves any.

The settings you're looking for are:

Name: 124

Size: 54

Date: 100

I've never intentionally changed them so they should be the default setting.

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
Thanks, gregb882.

Those numbers look familiar, but I'm still getting wacky resets of them upon exit/restart. Basically, the Name section grows from 124 to over 300. Oh, well, I'm sure I'll be reflashing soon enough. But a lesson learned: don't mess with the defaults. Though it's not the end of the world having two-window view of full file names.

Thanks again,

Energy ROM Reviews

When, if I flashed the ROM, since August 2010, when I got my Tilt 2, have I not provided a full review with all of my settings applied?

Of course the review with my settings will be coming.

I have been consistently giving full reviews of the Energy ROMs for Rhodium, since then. Before that I consistently gave full reviews to the Energy ROMs for the Raphael. If you had paid any attention since you came to this thread, you would realize this.

I really don't need reviews from you of my reviews. My history and contributions to Energy ROM threads and XDA speak for them self. Some of the solutions that I have provided to the XDA community have consisted of hundreds of hours for free, with the occasional donation. Some of these were done for devices that I did not even own. If I say that I, "worked hard" on something, it was not just a few screen captures of some settings that had been posted 6 months ago, with commentary bashing the lock screen that Energy made and put in the ROM for us.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
Am I missing something very basic (probably) or are there no shortcuts (key strokes) in Opera Mobile? I remember shortcuts in Opera/Symbian S60, but I can't find any here. Did Opera give them a pass in WinMo?

Total Commander Issue

On the newest Energy - build 29008, Dinik-skinned -, the Total Commander softbar is like in the screenshot attached. Any suggest?

Thanks thousends in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Click Show in the lower left.

Then click Full.

[EDIT]

Whoops. Misread your post. The softbar has been a problem once before. I might be able to find it.

Been searching for the real answer. Found that the problem was posted in a Tael ROM thread from 2009 for the Raphael.

I remember it being a problem in Fall of 2009 in maybe 1 Energy ROM buiild. I have not found a post with a solution.

I have found this link to my Raph days: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4843131&postcount=10688

So, it must have been a problem close to that time frame.

WM Upgrade path

For those of you interested, I've posted a proposed upgrade path for the future of Windows Mobile and Windows Embedded Handheld. My goal in posting this is to outline that Windows Mobile is not dead. It's getting a name change. Hopefully this will keep people from freaking out about how the platform is dead. The update process is going to be slower, but it is still there.

WM Upgrade Path
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Florestan:
At first, thanks for the kindness of Your immediate reply,

Nothing to do. The softbar not shows some - important - keys again. I thought: could it be the menu enhancement?

Again thanks thousends.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
Sorry for the newbie question, I thought I knew this but I don't and I can't find the answer.

When I use "Settings Epxorter", where do the exported szettings go? It's not on XDA-UC on the storage card by any chance, is it?

Thanks for your help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It creates a folder in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter. You're settings show up in there. Don't move them. This is where they should be.

Energy ROM Mar.08 Total Commander Display Bug

There is an icon spacing problem on Total Commander's bottom button bar and it's not only in the Dinik version of Mar.08. In portrait, it seems like some buttons are missing but turning to landscape, they are all there as you can see below.

I could not find a way yet to fix that buttons spacing thing yet but it's not in TC's settings IMO as I exported the TC's reg file from Feb.27 ROM & imported it with Registry Editor on my spare Tilt 2 running Energy ROM Mar.08. I zipped these 2 TC reg files to this message and cannot see any difference between them. Disabling Sense with > Start > Settings > Home > Items > select Windows Default to get the Titanium interface and reboot did not solve the problem.

Edit: The problem is only on Mar.08 ROM 29008, it works fine on Mar.08 ROM 21916 as shown in this new post.

Edit: I downloaded a more recent version of Total Commander Beta 3 - 2010 Windows CE arm cab (vs. cooked-in 2.52 Beta 2 - 2009) and installed it on Energy ROM Mar.08. Installation & shortcuts are OK but the buttons spacing display bug remains.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dss4me3:
I just noticed that the majority of us are overclocking the Rhodium. Is it possible to have this already cooked in the next Energy release?

Just asking, since winmo speed seem to be such a popular tool.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
I did not see mention of you adding the Twitter Security Update. Do you know if NRG included? Or should we still add?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
I don't agree to that. We already have enough noobies with problems. Putting OC in the mix will just make things worse. Also, it is o easy to install it, there is no point in adding it to the ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It doesn't look as though it was added. I'll ask him about it later.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
One follow-up question, if I may..... I have been reading on XDA_UC, and am I allowed to put my own .REG files and .CAB files in there for it to import?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
That is correct!

EDIT:

Under Storage Card\XDA_UC\, I have 25 cabs, 13 mort script files, 36 reg edits, 3 xml files that install as soon as XDA_UC is run. Takes about 5 minutes vs. HOURS before XDA_UC!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] awalt:
Oh great, I'll play around with that. Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:

A lot of my reg edits originated from NRG's exporter...but I trimmed down to what I want. I don't like using Exporter between different builds (e.g., 28244 to 29008); my experience...things get messed up. But an initial full export is a good starting point to start "trimming off the fat". Others are reg edits for the cabs I install.

Re: Energy ROM Mar.08 Total Commander Display Bug

As a followup of the Energy ROM Mar.08 Total Commander Display Bug post: I downloaded a more recent version of the Total Commander Beta 3 - 2010 Windows CE arm cab here. (vs. cooked-in 2.52 Beta 2 - 2009) and installed it on Energy ROM Mar.08. Installation & shortcuts are OK but the buttons spacing display and some buttons (Ctrl!) not viewable bug in portrait mode remains.

Disabling Sense with > Start > Settings > Home > Items > select Windows Default to get the Titanium interface and reboot did not solve the problem. :( With Sense stopped, ArkSwitch shows 105 MB Ram memory free BTW.

Total Commander 2.52 beta 3 Changelog:

BTW, ROM Mar.08 changelog in the HD2 thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Monfro:
We have to say NRGZ to cook Total Commander 2.52 beta 3 in next roms.

When i first used Total Commander yesterday i thought it was a customization to have a more finger friendly buttons area, since also the Exit option now is displayed directly from the menu :)

Maybe is a 29008 issue: M$ put a more finger friendly menu.

Anyone with 21916 can confirm the visualization of Total Commander is the "old" one, with all buttons displayed?

If also in 21916 roms it is displayed in the "new way", it is a NRGZ customization.

Since i use only the copy/move and delete buttons for me it is really more finger friendly now
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
Joe Bleau--

Which TC cab did you install? The touch screen version or the CE version? Arm, right?

Jake
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Florestan:
I agree. Some week ago, I've requested the refreshing of Total Commander, because it's really more finger-friendly. A simply tip: is enough to extract from cab the file cecmd.exe and copy it on \Windows, without installing newly the program.

My best regards to all.

@jakfish

: the .cab is cecmd.arm.cab, on Download Page of Beta Cabs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
@Florestan

Which cecmd.arm.cab? There are several: some for phones, one for CE. I can't get any of them to open when clicking on the cab.

Jake

Edit: I'm suddenly having trouble opening any cab in TC or File Explorer. I need to look at this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: Energy ROM Mar.08 Total Commander Display Bug - 21916

It's a Energy ROM Mar.08 29008 issue. Here is a screen cap of cooked Total Commander Beta 2 in Energy ROM Mar.08 21916 vs. 29008:

View TC on 29008 in landscape mode to see button #1 shown above and click on it to expand the button bar to get the #2 button which allows you to add your own shortcuts to files, links or programs to that bar #2 which is nice IMO as you can add Whip2Snap & capture the current TC screen for example. That extra buttons bar is only shown half truncated in 29008 in portrait mode while it works fine on 21916.

I really miss the Ctrl button on 29008 portrait mode as moving files to Windows takes time & it's faster to select several files and move them together to Start Menu or Startup for example. I use Ctrl all the time as selecting an image will open it while Ctrl lets you select it w/o opening it for example. The turning to landscape mode workaround to see the hidden buttons gets annoying overtime.

This said, Energy ROM Mar.08 29008 is a great ROM & too bad that one of the most useful tool has this quirk. Anybody working on a hot fix? ;)

No, not the touch screen version, get the Total Commander for Windows CE: arm cab Beta 3 2010 here. Look here for illustrations, our phones are "Total Commander for all other devices CE 2.x, Handheld PC (usually has querty keyboard, and a touchscreen)".

The finger-friendly feature is neat and Total Commander Beta 3 - 2010 should be the one cooked in future NRG ROMs instead of Beta 2 - 2009 IMO.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
I'm back in business, cab-wise. I don't know what happened to my storage card and why it stopped liking cabs, but once I pulled off the files, reformatted it at Fat32, and put everything back on, I could install TC Beta3.

Thanks to JB and Florestan for pointing me in the right direction.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: Memory Card Formatting

It's good practice to backup the content of the memory card to PC and format it once in a while IMO as it removes garbage & when copying back files, it's like a defrag.

I noticed that if connecting the phone via USB as mass storage & I forget to Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media, I got a few garbled files a couple of times & the next time I connected, Windows told me there was a problem and wanted to check the card.

task29 also formats C, the memory on the phone & that's why I run it before installing a cab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
Yeah, I might start reformatting memory cards monthly or something. It was such a strange problem: everything worked fine on the card except cabs. I think I disconnected properly from the desktop, but you never know with these things...

Jake
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: Memory Card Formatting & cabs via Activesync

A possible explanation for your cabs not working properly on your memory card:

I mostly use direct USB mass storage to transfer image files & cabs to the phone & vice versa.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakfish:
I did not know that about AS/cabs. But given its glacial transfer capabilities, I never use AS for file sending. Either I screwed something up via USB direct connection, or the card hiccuped, or the card is starting to die.

My docs are always written to the card, so I may be reaching the end of its life cycle. Glad they're cheap these days.
