Wow, that's a nice surprise! Wonder what changes were made this time...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
New ROM: What's New?

I think I saw that kind of question minutes after new ROMs are available or that question: where's the changelog... ;)

Patience is the typical reply. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] RemE:
Figures, I was on 21916 Feb 12 and noticed Feb 19th was out but without a changelog I didn't go to it. While on vacation skiing I was getting a lot of "probable roaming charges" warning messages as I was probably between carriers in that area.

I found the fix;

The reg key ShowRoamingMessage was set to 1 in this ROM and was 0 in previous roms. I set it to 0 and all is well again. Not sure if there is a GUI switch for it.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

"ShowRoamingMessage"

I also found that if I put the phone into flight mode at night (to keep from getting any early morning calls etc.). It turned out that even though it showed that it was in flight mode, in-comming calls still came in!

So I flashed 21916 Feb19 last night and flight mode is working now.

These new Feb27 roms must be defective? If they were not uploaded completely I would not expect them to be downloadable. I suspect they are defective at this small of a file size.

Sure would like to see a changelog, never saw anything for the 19th and now this fresh set... I have a bunch or registered programs so it takes me a couple of hours to tweak everything back, so changelogs would be really helpful, for now I wait a week or more to flash unless there is an obvious bug that I'm seeing and hopefully a jump will fix it. I do realize beggars can't be choosers, I do donate and will continue to support NRG for his great work so a quick and dirty changelog is simply a humble request.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rkub:
lol thanks Joe, I know that's the best case scenario but sometimes he puts it up early or someone has some insight as to what changes he made. I was hoping someone with that type of knowledge might answer the question... And just fyi, I posted that after looking at the energyrom site and the HD2 thread where the changelog is usually posted first. The link you have is still to the old changelog from the feb12 rom so dunno if you wanna leave that there since it might give way to more ?'s...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gregb882:
All but one of the CHT 2.0 ROMs seem to be uploaded OK. The older CHT versions aren't there yet, but it's been a while since he's updated those so I'm sure some will be pleased.

I just installed the base 28244 CHT 2.0 ROM and it has set up just fine so far. I can't imagine that they can be all that much better than the Feb 19th ROMs, though. Those were terrific!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Flash of Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.27

I just flashed Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.27

I will report any findings here.

Flashed from storage card with SIM card removed.

Flash was successful.

Pressed Yes to run XDA_UC.

Continued to keep screen on by occasionally touching it, so XDA_UC would continue.

When XDA_UC processed the Cookie State Links cab, I pressed Cancel to not restart.

When XDA_UC processed the WinStart cab, I pressed Cancel on the settings page.

Turned on Wi-Fi

Started Active Sync. Active Sync restored 273 contacts / 500 emails / 25 appointments / 25 tasks.

Synced email accounts. Then marked all as read on my comcast and go daddy accounts.

used CHTEditor to restore Cookie settings.

Used Cookie People Quicklink fixer before Sense fully restarted to restore contacts. (Got to avoid an extra sense restart by doing it before sense restarted.)

Powered down. Inserted SIM. Powered back on. Carrier was detected. It set up. Shut off Wi-Fi.

Waited for Sense to fully load.

WinStart settings to get the memory benifits do not restore through XDA_UC. Loaded them from the settings menu in WinStart.

Began going through all tabs.

Verified the internet visual bookmarks work.

Logged into twitter tab.

Authenticated on Facebbok Settings. Facebook Api Settings. Use Default Browser and Paste Code. Pressed Open Browser. Logged in. got success page. Selected and copied URL Closed Opera. Had to do Settings -> Facebook Api Settings -> Use Default Browser and Paste Code. Then press Paste code. Got success.

Restarted phone, so that memory savings of WinStart would take effect.

I did not see the memory benefits, so I went to start, then Menu->Options and unchecked and check the Disable Start Menu. Then Save. Then restarted again.

I see the memory benefit that I was expecting. I was hoping to avoid manually needing to do that.

Verified the alarm works. Set my ringtone. Noticed a couple settings on the Settings tab->Sound & Display -- I don't remember there being a toggle to quiet the ring on pickup of to increase ring volume in pocket mode. They might have been there before, but I have not noticed them until now.

Verified that the red background issue is still a problem. Just apply the cab that Swiss420 made and it is fine.

Got a GPS lock in about 5 seconds using Google Maps. (I use FoneFanatics Nokia aGPS settings that I put in a reg file)

....

Rom looks great. Not sure what was changed though. The Feb 19th was very good.

If I find any issues or notice any differences, I will post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Flash of Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.27

Like JVH3 above, I just installed Energy.RHODIUM.28244.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.27 downloaded from here: Touch Pro2 Cookie & all is OK.

Before flashing from my older NRG ROM I did:

1- > Home > CHTEditor > Menu > Export settings to memory card.

2- > Home > Start > Tools > Settings Export > selected all & saved to memory card.

3- > Home > Start > Tools > pim backup (not sure that it's needed because of step 4).

4- > Home > Start > Tools > microsoft my phone > selected all and backup up online.

5- > Home > Start > battconfig > About > Export then copied BattClock.reg.txt file found in Program Files\BattClock to memory card with Total Commander.

6- I won't do that again: Using Registry Editor, exported the Manila_Winstart registry key as suggested in the Winstart thread to backup the paid version settings. I can confirm that the RAM saving benefit was not working so I had disable/enable Disable start menu in Winstart > Menu > Options and restart the phone.

7- Backed up RhodiumKbdControl Key Remapper hardware custom keyboard settings (Ctrl+C, etc and PTT key for the Tilt 2): > Home > Start > Settings > System > Keyboard Config > Menu > Config > Save.

8- Turned off phone, removed SIM & memory card and ran task29 to clean the phone before flashing the Feb.27 NRG ROM.

I installed all my favorite cabs/software before running microsoft my phone and importing the saved settings after that.

Note that by this ROM's default the phone is set to download weather data every hour including when roaming. :eek: So if you want to save battery life & data traffic (if you are not on a unlimited data plan for $8 a month like me): > Home > Sliderbar to Settings > Data Services > Weather > unselect Download data automatically. One can always update weather manually when needed > Home > Sliderbar to Weather tab > Update Now. The Start Menu layout default in Feb.27 is still the "Normal" Windows huge memory hog, a major hit on our memory starved Rhodiums IMO.

Added my current BattClock settings file to this post if one would like to use it: State Indicators BattClock + Softkeybar:

BTW all the visual tweaks found in my signature are working w/ Feb.27 NRG ROM as well as the Winstart free version + the cab found in Start Menu RAM Memory Saver. :) I joined the chorus & got the paid version of Winstart because the author is quite active in his thread & the extra options are useful (wallpaper, 3, 4 or 5 columns, etc). This said, you can try/use the free version

with the cab

I linked to to get the same memory savings as the paid version.

Winstart beats all the current Rhodium NRG's ROMs Start Menu layout options IMO found in > Start > Settings > Personal > Start Menu Layout Switch (aesthetics, speed,

memory usage

, upper Taskmanager bar to kill running apps feature and customizations options).

@JVH3 and Joe Bleau

Thank you both for carefully plotting your steps for a new flash and for your initial findings of Feb 27 ROMs.

I was glad to see that I set up my flashes pretty much the way you guys do, except I don't use XDA_UC (I use cht settings import, but install cabs manually), and instead of ms-ing the phone, I use ActiveSync.

A flash--even with all the backups of the different program configurations from the keyboard config file to the WinStart start.reg--still takes me about 4 hours from start to final tweak.

Except for my recent trouble with cht and winmospeed free link (I won't be doing that again), a reflash for me goes steadily; it just takes a while.

Oh, well: it's a testament to all the cool things users can set up.

Hi,

I get an error while installing(error 600)?

Anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Avans_Developer_ATM:
solved, hardspl reinstall fixed my problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Posts like this are more likely to get you added to other users ignore list than to actually get them to help you.

#1. You did not say what you installed. Can I assume you meant flash.

#2. This is your first post. Did you bother reading the first 6 posts of this threrad. You did not say whether you did or did not.

#3. You did not say whether you applied HardSPL.

#4. You did not say you specific device type. There are mulptiple type of Rhodium.

#5. You did not say how you attempted to flash, or as you incorrectly said "Install". USB verses Storage Card.

#6. Have you ever flashed a custom ROM before?

I could go on.

But, I suspect that, you have never flashed a custom ROM on your phone. I also suspect that you have not applied HardSPL. HardSPL is needed to flash this.

Here is a link to the HardSPL thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131

Please provide more information in future posts when you have issues.

[EDIT]

Looks like from the time I started writing, to the time I pressed submit, it was solved.

Thank you NRGZ28 / donation / confirmation number

Thanks for the latest ROMs.

Here's a little donation. It's only $10.

It would be more, but needed new tires for my truck. Also had to replace a rim (Minnesota potholes in the roads from winter) and a wheel hub assembly on it, and do the brakes this month. Plus a bunch of other things that added up. Anyway, my expenses aren't an excuse not to give a little something.

Missing Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav

I installed the Feb 1 ROM, 28244 w/CHT and have been missing a lot of calls. I found the problem was that I wasn't getting the call waiting notification. I checked my registry and found that in HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\InCall, InCall2, and InCall3 the sound that is referenced isn't in the ROM. The DefaultSound is listed as \Windows\HTCTone\Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav. Is there a reason this isn't in the ROM? Does anyone know where I can get this? I really miss my call waiting notification sound.

Thanks.

Changelog?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
From the FAQ:

New versions of the ROM: New versions are posted often. Usually twice a week. There is a changelog in the 3rd or 4th post. However, the Changelog isn’t always up to date. Often the most current changelog is made available first at the Leo (HD2) thread. In order to keep the thread clean, please DO NOT keep asking what is new, or complaining that there is no Changelog. Either wait for one, or flash the ROM and see for yourself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Germypan:
Hi Chef, thanks for your job... do you will put a update for italian version?

You could change the registry keys DefaultSound to point to an existing wav file such as \windows\Rings\Alarm-Classic.wav

Re: Thank you NRGZ28 / donation / confirmation number

That's a good example to follow so:

Thanks NRGZ28 for the continuous updating of the ROM for our Rhodiums. Confirmation number: 5RX118027M972841S. Donation links USD/Euro found on page #1 of this thread. If one can give $5 for the useful Winstart Start Menu memory saver or BattClock then one can also tip the chef. :cool:

Re: Energy ROM Changelog

@ NRGZ28: Could you update the Changelog simultaneously with posting new ROMs? If not in all of your ROM threads then page #1 of your site would be great IMO. For example today Feb.27 ROM are online & your changelog is dated Feb 1 while there was nothing for the Feb.12 or Feb.19 ROMs for example. :o

Getting tired of all the where's the changelog posts & it would save time to countless users trying to find a current one.

Visiting the Leo's thread or waiting for a possible changelog update are workarounds, not the real fix IMO. ;) BTW the changelog on that Leo thread is currently Feb 12 and was not updated for the Feb.19 ROM. Changelogs are important for a user who wants to evaluate if a ROM flashing is worth the trouble compared to his current version.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
Agreed, but keep in mind that NRGZ is doing us a FAVOR by sharing with us HIS ROM. So, I believe we should respect his pace - AFIK he also has a real job.

The lack of a changelog never prevented me from installing a ROM and checking by myself if I wanted to keep it or not. It should not be a good deal for anyone willing to be on the cutting edge and experimenting.

For the ones who prefer to keep safe, I recommend the stock ROM.

Re: Energy ROM Changelog Update Lag

Don't you agree that all individual users searching for a current changelog or flashing blindly a ROM and checking by themselves ends up being a huge collective waste of time? When the chef updates a ROM he should normally know what he is changing/tweaking/updating, no? How much extra work/time a changelog update on his site's page #1 is compared to all the rest of the work for updating/uploading, etc? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NRGZ28:
I wish you guys would stop fighting over this stupid changelog !

Flash if you want.. or don't and wait until it gets posted. I have a life as well and updating 10 threads isn't as easy as it may seem. Upload the ROMs is VERY easy compared to that. I have it automated... can't automate XDA though.

Anyway, THANK YOU for the donations received so far. Glad to see people appreciate the fact that I take the time to tweak the ROMs still. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bipinsen:
Not gonna win this argument, Joe... Let it go... :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] RemE:
I halfheartedly agree, yes he does us a big favor in making these roms but many of us return the favor in cash money "tips". Neither is mandatory but both are appreciated and somewhat counted on from what I've read over the thousands of posts...

It's not unreasonable to ask for a quick blip on what's new with a release. It collectively would save us all time.

Edit, NRG not trying to offend at all, your work is very much appreciated! Perhaps you could just make one post in a known place and let us look there?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I'm actually chatting with NRG right now. He has mentioned that the change log is a PITA to update to each thread, which is why it always takes him so long to do it. He agrees that he should put up a change log with the new ROMs, but that doesn't always happen. He's tried to centralize it on just the website, but then users will send him stupid "Where's the change log" PMs.

Don't worry. I'm sure a change log is coming soon. Please understand that you are basically being allowed to use NRG's personal ROM for yourself. You should not come in here "expecting" anything. If you want a perfect ROM and change log every single time, then you are always welcome to flash your own ROM. Asking for a change log in this thread is not going to make one appear any faster.

EDIT: Well, he beat me to it. Hopefully, this puts an end to this little debate.

Call Waiting works fine for me

I am using 28244 Cookie 2.0 from Feb 27th with a Tilt 2.

I have justed tested call waiting. Irritated girlfriend by calling her, just to test this. Then I used my office phone to call my cell phone. I heard the beep on my cell phone for call waiting. Maybe it was more like no sound in pulses. In any case, it was clear and easy to tell that a call was coming in.

I did verify that that wav does not exist at that location. In fact \Windows\HTCTone does not exist.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
If a change log is that important to you guys, then make your own ROMs and simply write one for yourselves. Otherwise, let's all drop it. We shouldn't have to go through this with you guys every time the ROMs get updated. It is very simple, ether flash or don't flash. You all were never promised a change log when you joined this site or downloaded the ROM. This is a development website, not a tech support site. You are all voluntarily downloading and using this ROM. If it doesn't not meet your needs or expectations, then move on to another one. We are all tired of answering you guys on every update in the same manner.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Joe Bleau:
Re: Energy ROM Changelog Update Lag

Sorry but that's a bit ridiculous and uncalled for argument IMO. :rolleyes: Anyway, made my point, end of conversation... looking forward to the next "where's the changelog" posts. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I agree that not having the change logs up with the ROM sucks, but having the same argument over it every single time it doesn't post with the ROMs is ridiculous. Whining about it doesn't help any. I've addressed the issue with NRG already, as have others. It's time to move on from the change log issue. If you aren't comfortable flashing a ROM without knowing the changes, then don't flash it. Simple, no?

All the wining and *****ing

I chatted with NRGZ28 on Microsoft Instant Messenger on 2/14/2010 around 1:45 AM.

From that conversation, I can tell you that NRGZ28 has a life and it's not just XDA.

On the 14th, he was saying that he needed a break from XDA. He's been passionately making ROMs for 3 years.

When the greatest chef of XDA wants a break, but still makes us ROMs, we should appreciate what he gives us.

Yes, a changelog would be nice. So would world peace.

If you don't want to take the time to test the ROM and report, just wait a while and someone will normally report results. Often times, that is me.

What really does a changelog give you anyway?

Package version updates. Does that tell you if something now works.

A bug fix. Does that mean that it didn't break anything.

Does it tell you whether everything works well together?

Or if a problem is correctable?

We are lucky that he is still cooking for Windows Mobile, considering the fact that no new phones are being made with Windows Mobile. There are not any new devices to get ingredients from.

We want NRGZ28 to feel good about making us ROMs. We don't want to make him feel like an unappreciated slave.

I think we can rely on a few of us to test the ROMs. If you don't see problems posted within a few days, then you know it is stable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
I completely agree with your post, but I wanted to comment on the red portion above in particular. Microsoft is continuing development of Windows Mobile as Microsoft Embedded Handheld. The first device to receive this continued support of the operating system is the Motorola ES400S. The latest SYS build to be leaked 29017. Unfortunately, neither this build, nor the 290xx builds between our last one and that one, haven't been uploaded publicly from DFT yet. It seems they are keeping it internal for the time being. We're hoping they release it to the public within the next month. There are several ROMs featuring this build out already, including one on XDA. The catch is that most of these are Chinese ROMs. The guy who released it on XDA is apparently an admin on DFT.

Windows Mobile isn't quite dead yet. Don't worry. :)

Magic 8 ball consultation to see if new reference roms will be coming

I used Google to first search for "online Magic 8 ball"

It found: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~ssanty/cgi-bin/eightball.cgi

Then I asked it the question 4 times.

The first time, it said: Maybe

The next time, it said: Definately

The next time, it said: Definately

The next time, it said: Definately

But, since the question is actually 2 questions, I don't know what that means.

Is definately for, "Is there going to be any new reference roms?"

Or for, "Is reference discontinued?"

Is there going to be any new reference roms? returned "Yes" and "Definately'

Is reference discontinued? returned "Outlook not so good" and then "definately"

I am really confused now. I guess we will just need to wait and see in NRGZ28 decides to upload some.
