does the driver some performance boosts on energyrom? i read in a earlier post that NRG brings always the best drivers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TechKit:
lol, I haven't been checking for a long time, hehe. I noticed some optimizations and minor improvements a long time ago but can't remember by what or by how much. looks like I'll have something to do tonight...lol. I'm gonna try a fresh flash (after a 29 of course and using plain energy with cookie jan23) and try out the neos2007 driverpack 3, atomang enhanced d3d driver, gfxboost1.2 and some healthy overclocking after i get the results to make a baseline. I only have the TestOpenGL.cab file to see the difference so i'll post results if you like. If there are any cabs of apps you want me to try, let me know. just remember i'm a little lazy and i only use my phone for calling, gps, mms and sms so thats where i'll be looking for Smooooooooooooo(......etc)thness.....;)

Note:I just noticed the jan26 roms come up in the first post, i'll test with that one when it's down.EDIT: when it's up, then down:)

Also: Thanks CFB for getting back to me, i didn't realize it was theme specific as it seemed to stick with the blue theme. I'm gonna rub my eyes and double check...lol:D:D

Regards,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Hi,

over 3300 pages! Sorry if I didn't read them all, but I can't find the answers via the forum search, :o so I hope you guys can help me real quick:

1) How do I remove Quick Links from the Home tab? I can add and move Quick LInks via "Home tab" -> "Menu" -> "Edit Quick Links", and if I click on a Quick Link, a red cross appears...but if I press it, it just goes back to normal. :(

2.1) How do I remove Tabs like Twitter, Facebook and Stocks?

2.2) And if I remove the Weather tab (once you guys told me how. :p), does the weather in the Home tab still work?

3) Why is there space on the left side of the Home tab? As you know, the Home tab has three pages, with the middle one also showing the clock and the calender. The right side is just a page for Quick Links. But the left side has an empty space on top, which doesn't do anything, correct? Can I fill it up with Quick Links or something else that is useful? And if so, what could I put there?

Thanks in advance!

what NRGZ28 means in the changelog by "Nearing FINAL stage for this ROM" ? :(

i love his work.... :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] TechKit:
Hi HighKo,

Results are in, but please note that I forgot to do a task29 between tests... its ok though, the results are varied enough, it can't be that bad...lol.

Also, I'm not sure what effect the At0mAng Enhanced D3D Driver.cab will have as to my limited knowledge it doesn't make any difference to openGL results.

I've made some small notes and colour coded the changes with the specifically used drivers. I'm not sure if these results are credible or done correctly etc, and critique is welcomed. As I'm not sure, i'm attaching all the files I used to run the benchmark as well as my results.

EDIT: I used files that are open and available on XDA, so in that spirit I credit the authors of the files whomever they are for thier hard work and dedication.:)

Hope this helps someone as doing it helped me,

1) if they are marked red you can press finish. after this they are deleted,

2.1) settings tab -> personalize

2.2) i guess the widget will still work after disabling the weather tab. just try it

3) press menu -> edit homescreen. tab and hold on the place where you want to add a widget. will you understand it if you try this ;)

I use the german version, maybe the name of the objects i wrote are not similar to yours.

i believe i read that neos driver pack is included in NRG-Roms.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Thanks for your reply, highKo!

Ahh, indeed. That worked!

OMG! I can't believe I overlooked that. I was already writing here that I don't have anything like "personalize", but then I scrolled up and there it was. :o

It does, but after thinking about it some more I decided to keep it for now. :p

Ahh, I see. After some more tapping and holding, I was able to add a few widgets and move them around. But I think I messed something up! :o By default, the Quick Links grid is 5 rows and spans to the window underneath, so that you can swipe the screen and "go down" in addition to going right and left.

However, now that I accidentally removed the Quick Links widget and added it back, it only goes on the first page, which means that if I want 5 rows, it is underneath the other widgets (like the clock, etc.). :(

HELP!

No, that was perfect, thank you. But I'm German as well, so if necessary I could switch to that as well, even though I actually prefer English.

Thanks so far, all is left for now is getting the Quick Links back the way they were! :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
I didn't realize, until recently, that NRG didn't add his own splash screen. I had my TP2 just 1 day before flashing my first NRG ROM last January so I was oblivious to what a splash screen even was. Mine was the total black screen with TOUCH pro2 in the middle like the one that Joe Bleau posted recently until I flashed the stock ROM when the TMo "stick together" screen appeared.

I like this one, though, and will probably use it after I get sufficiently embarrassed by people harassing me about the Charlize Theron splash screen Joe posted :o.

Time Picker Control Broken for Windows Live

When I'm trying to set the schedule for Windows Live email synchronization if I use the date picker control (by clicking the down arrow next to the time) the time picker control will open but when I select a time and click either Set or Cancel the same thing happens, the Sync Schedule screen exits without saving or applying any changes that I may have made with the time picker control.

Windows Live -> Menu -> Options -> Sync Schedule

This is a great ROM...thanks NRGZ28.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] highKo:
oh really? i am so happy with the 28244, it is FAR the best rom i have tried.. maybe i will give a try to jan.26. but there is no german version yet...

and how do you changed the pagepool? does it give performance boosts?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
I too was very happy with 28244...but I deided to give 29007 a try...and it is really good. I haven't had time to go through everything, but my first impression was...well...I was impressed. It seemed just as snappy as 28244.

The pagepool changer can be found

here

. By changing pagepool the little bit that I do I see zero performance difference...but I do LOWER the pagepool because it does free up a bit of RAM. If you go too low, there is a loss in performance. I always set mine to 16...and with

WiMoSpeed

, the ROM flies!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Pagepool is a give and take thing. If you lower it, you'll wind up with more free RAM. If you raise it, you'll end up with a faster performance. The latest ROMs are set to a pagepool of 20. I wouldn't recommend going lower than 14, but others have successfully gone lower. I've experienced lockups when going higher than 26 as well. The tool is attached.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] wmg316:
The default pagepool on "Energy.RHODIUM.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jan.26.7z" is set to 18 by NRGZ28.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I didn't realize the 26th ROMs had come out. I was going by the 23rd. My mistake.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cjbarth:
That's what I've been doing. I just couldn't find it in this thread when I searched so I figured that by some off chance it was either new or never been reported.

ROM Jan.26 & Feb.01 Tweak: Custom Action Screen Icons & Buttons

>>> Update: I made new Action screens variations including a black one with pure black buttons instead of gray as shown below: ROM Feb.01 Tweak: Custom Action Screen v2

Before & after:

***

As I mentioned in previous posts, while the default black & white Action screen found in the EnergyRoms Dec27, Jan 06, Jan 26, etc. the Home > Action screen based on metkosas' icons (Jan 2009) + ammar's mod into a 12 Button Action Screen looks clean, it always takes me a second or two to ID the app which defeats the quick Action access in my case because those icons are not consitent with the other ones found in Sense 2.5 & Co0kie's Home Tab. :confused:

This custom Action screen image is modified from BT73's work by me to work with Energy's ROMs for Rhodium (buttons alignment, text & icons). It only modifies the buttons & icons, not the resulting actions when pressing the buttons. No change are made to the registry.

1- Download & unzip Action_Screen_Custom_Image_SameActions_as_ROM26.rar attached to this post.

2- Copy Action_Screen_Custom_Image_Joe_Bleau.CAB to memory card & run from there with Start > Total Commander OR Start > Tool > File Explorer.

OR:

1- Download & unzip Action_Screen_Custom_Image_SameActions_as_ROM26.rar

2- Copy AS_Bkgd_1.brn to the phone's memory card.

3- Copy to Windows folder using > Start > Total Commander > navigate to AS_Bkgd_1.brn > File > Copy > Tree & navigate & select Windows > OK, Copy. Restart the phone if Action screen is not changed instantly.

NOTES:

A- AS_Bkgd_1.bmp is just to show you how it will look, copying that one to Phone/Windows

will not make any change

to the Action Screen.

B- If you want to revert to metkosas' black & white icons & buttons: repeat step 2 & 3 with AS_Bkgd_1.brn found in the ORIGINAL_Action_Screen folder.

C- If permission is denied when running the CAB or copying AS_Bkgd_1.brn: run the included SdkCerts.CAB & try again.

D- It works also on the Titanium.Jan.18 ROM which is quite useful as it does not have the 2 extra Home tabs as found in Sense w/ Co0kie's Home Tab.

-----------

Tested on:

Energy.RHODIUM.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jan.06

Energy.RHODIUM.29007.Titanium.Jan.18

Energy.RHODIUM.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jan.26

Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.01

Original screen material found in BT73's post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7154799&postcount=124 but NOTE that if you run his cab, it will remap the power on/off hardware button to the Action screen and modify two actions & the registry!!! BTW BT73 failed to mention that he used the Firestorm Iconsets by Lechux. :(

The trouble is, on HTC Touch Pro2, Pocket Info installs, but needs registration code.

The radio in Energy.RHODIUM.29007.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jan.26.7 (radio 4.49.25.98)

How much faster is 21916 than 29007? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] skotsonis:
Brightness time-out does not 'stick'

Installed Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Jan.26 yesterday, and it is very stable and snappier than my previous one (Dec 6); however, I cannot get the brightness timeout to 'stick'. Under Power, I change the backlight "Dim if device is not used for" from 10 seconds to 30 seconds and then "Done" out.

It turns back to 10 seconds which is a real bummer when reading RSS or emails.

Tried changing it in the Registry, but same results.

Does anyone have the same issue, and know of any workarounds? :confused:

Thanks,

ROM 29007 Jan.26 faster than 21916?

Maybe the question should be reversed: With the phone safely overclocked at 748MHz max with WinMoSpeed, how much faster is 29007 Jan.26 compared to 21916? ;)

BTW WinMoSpeed V1.04 is out & kicking.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Backlight Dim After...

Not on my Tilt2 w/ the exact same ROM. I just tried it by let it dim then touched the zoom bar under the screen to make it go full bright while looking at my PC's clock & it dimmed exactly after 30 sec. It's my setting since a couple of days and it never switched to 10 sec by itself so far.

Try tapping Done first after adjusting it instead of OK. Did you install other stuff, tweaked other settings or try rebooting after adjusting it? Did you try unselecting Automatically adjust backlight? Did you remove SIM & memory card & ran Task29 to clean the phone before flashing the ROM?

Edit: I just tested it again w/ Dim after 1 minute & Turn off device after 2 min & it works as advertized.

BTW I like to have a shortcut on the Home page (Programs > Backlight) for quick adjust as the backlight is a major power drain & if I need extra battery life I turn it down instead of my usual 100% brightness and Automatically adjust backlight turned off.

Program > Backlight > Menu > System Power > Backlight:

Noticed the nice custom Start button? ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
I had searched for other posts by Kazen_90. I actually thought about reporting his post here to the moderators, because he posted the same thing in the Xperia version just a couple days ago. It also is not related to the ROM. In the end, I decided not to.

It is a question that has no quantitative answer, unless you go through a series of detailed tests such as what cfb has done with his build test.

I also noticed that he has posted in the Leo section. Maybe he does have an HD2, Rhodiam, and an Xperia, but I think Kazen_90 is just a troll looking to get responses that are not relavent to the thread.

Vague questions such as his are best left ignored, since there is no real quantitative answer that is correct.

Though, I'm still having problems with the YouTube app not being able to play any audio in "High Quality" mode. As others have reported with older ROM versions, the audio only plays when in "Fast Download" mode.

Anyone still experiencing this and/or have a solution to this problem?

It's not cooked in the ROM (I searched for it) and the CHTScheduler image in your sig is not linked to it so a link to CHTScheduler would save time for many people reading your post, removing the need to run individual searches.

I'm going to go ahead and confirm that this does not work. Keep in mind that only some videos do not play in High Quality. It is not all of them that do not work. Some of the ones I normally view work just fine in HQ mode. The one that others have been using to test the HQ problem is called "CAT FIGHT!!!." It's a video with an icon of a guy with a bunch of pictures on the wall behind him. This video did not play with sound in HQ after using the Google Youtube cab.
