My location service...

Just a note:

The "My Location" service does not 'require' Google Maps.

Google Maps is only required when wanting to visualise / translate / obtain a latitude and longitude coordinate to/from a visual map.

The My Location service for weather is a little unreliable at the moment and depends on a LOT of factors outside of the handset itself... so will work for some users and not for others... but most users have greater success using the service with a WiFi connection rather than GSM Data, WAP, GPRS or HSDPA.

Yeah sorry about that, id just woke up and wasn't fully there, was just on auto pilot when i posted the link.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] benson_tan2001:
is it necessary to change the pagepool size to 24mb?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I'd say yes... upgrade... because the more of us using the ROM, the more data can be gathered about the behaviour (good and bad), which can then help improve future ROMs based on our findings!

(that's my theory at least!)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrmccann:
Same old sms issue as before...you select a name, and it brings up two boxes...eg one with "Smith" and the other box saying "Smith, Bob".

You then can't send the sms until you remove "Smith" box otherwise it says "Invalid Recipient 'Smith'..".

Also...the LEO sms is SOOOO SLOOOOWWWW. Wait a few seconds before it sends!!

This sms issue is not just in L26, it is in all LEO ROMS...eg Dutty's R4 as well...

I just think the LEO sms tries to do too much when the old simple link in the manila back to windows sms was fast and sure!

I think I will give up on LEO ROMs now...waste of time flashing stuff that slows you down. Interface is great, but just not functional day by day!

V2 downloading and installing, much appreciate your contributions to the community.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] superste2201:
great rom, after flashing dutty's 6.5 roms , miri's 6.5roms i have always gone bk to your 6.1 rom but i think im gunna stick with this one IMHO you make the best roms :) . Keep it up!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jakari:
Its not necessary no, I just do it because i fell it makes manila abit smoother :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cidriver:
Leo, confirm is ok right now. Thanks a lot.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Absolutely not necessary at all.

There's a real lack of understanding about Page Pool size, and many folks assume making it bigger means better performance. It doesn't... otherwise all manufacturers would just set to the largest possible Page Pool.

It's a trade off... between cached (page pooled) ROM and free RAM. Some phones have XIP (eXecute in place) technology for parts of their ROM too, which partly negates the need for large Page Pools.

Most users with a freshly flashed ROM will see a perceived improvement in performance with a slightly larger page pool, but this is VERY misleading. Day to day use, once you start actually using your device for applications can decrease due to less available RAM. It's a slightly unfair test to flash a ROM with a smaller page pool, then flash with a larger one and say "I upped the Page Pool size to increase performance". It's like putting rocket fuel in your car and driving 100 yards saying "Man, did I improve that car!"... but a mile later the car breaks down!

holy ****!!

holy ****!! THIS ROM IS THE BEST ROM I HAVE EVER TRIED!!

omg..what did u do with this rom? it just works xD everything works fine for ME. nothing laggy or something like that. and the ram-sweeper-app is genious! =D

for a 2.5-manila-rom..it is very stable and pretty fast =D with neos2007-drivers even better :)

DOWNLOAD IT! i recommend it. better than dutty, miri and energy..light-years better =D

kind regards,

EDIT: the only thing i am missing is the vibrate-responsing when i am texting...u know...the vibration when I type a letter...where can I get the vibration back?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] SatScan:
Yeah read the first ones...

The need to knows:

Keyboard vibration enable: I've added this key to Ezinput to give you longer battery live. To enabled vibration change it to 1 using TRE regeditor available in the tools dir, don't forget to softreset.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip]

"VibrationEnabled"=dword:00000000
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Domskibus:
Unfortunately i have freezes after the setup-.-

SIMCard an SDCard are removed.

Edit: After the 4th time it works:)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I think your enthusiasm is great, but I don't think it's fair to say this ROM is any better than others... it's different and some very good qualities... but so do many of the other ROMs in different ways.

This ROM is never 'light years' ahead of others.... most of the current ROMs are of a similar nature with some custom tweaks and content along the way... but for casual readers, it's just not right to say any single ROM is that much better than another.

Just my opinion!... but if anybody thinks any single ROM is going to turn their phone into some miracle phone... it's just not going to happen!

The RAM Cleanup is interesting... and this isn't a criticism BUT... it's almost as quick to reboot as it is to clean up (and in some cases, depending on cleanup type), it's quicker! Still a good app that's been around for some time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] iamloler:
haha. =D the mix of all apps and speed/battery-life is the best. and its the most stable rom i ever had. i had loads of roms with manila 2.5 on my HD.. trust me, i am experienced =)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alexleon:
2. same problem. it's a NEO's pack behaviour. just SR and it works. that's all but after installing the cab, LEO rom sports hi resolution background and more smothness
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] iamloler:
ups.xD i installed the neos2007-drivers WITHOUT disabling tf3d..but it works^^

****..i forgot to disable it..anyway.. :) but there is a small speed-improovement..small, but better than nothing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] danprocter:
Whats the idle ram percentage? I'm looking forward to flashing this later.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
V2 running really nicely, nice incremental update to V1...

A couple of minor issues I've noticed (on this and a couple of similar ROMS).

- Manila process appears to be auto restarting (so some other process is monitoring it and relaunching it after it's been killed). Not sure yet if this will effect Neos V3 driver installation in any subtle way... all appears to be fine, but it just makes life harder to kill Manila before installing drivers.

- The 'Settings' icon in Windows Startup is linking to Manila settings page (as a few others have mentioned). Generally, I can see SOME sense in this, but it's preventing access to other settings not provided by Manila. I do not know if this is HTC's doing, or the ROM cookers... but it seems to make more sense to revert it back to traditional Windows settings (since end users can get to Manila settings the traditional way anyway).

- Access to Wifi network cards is troublesome... this is awkward for users using custom DNS or similar. But not a huge issue, it can be accessed via file manager.

- Some of the icons are low res... if you need some Hi Res (90x90 png) WM6.5 icons, I'd be happy to help you source and install them in the ROM, or provide you with a script to install them after ROM flash.

- Very good work all in all, certainly my ROM of choice for this week!... very much appreciated that you turned around a V2 so soon after V1.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Spike™:
This is GREAT to hear, some one who's not trying to find issues,

Leo put Hours & Hours in to making probably the Quickest & Best to use 6.5 ROM, that still has most of the goodies too,

thanks Patrick,,

guy's i'm sure you can ALL appreciate the High number of user activity going on at http://www.laurentius26.net/, so a little patents is required,
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
I don't think the Neos drivers improve background resolution... I think they simply render a smooth concentric circle better.... I 'THINK' Manila is making a graphics call to draw a shaded circle and hence the Neos drivers provide a smoother render.

Notice that if you use a traditional bitmapped wallpaper, it's fine... it's not a resolution issue per se.

Hello, great ROM here! Radio 1.17 worked beter for me, what rillphone is in the ROM? Do i have to install the 1.14 rill before installing radio 1.17? Has anyopne tried it yet? Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Laurentius26:
For the unexperienced users among us:

This rom is pretty advanced!

The device setup issues I was facing with V1 are improved, maybe not perfect yet but we have tested it and it's working fine.

'If' it happens that your device hangs a softreset is everything you need todo and device setup continues.

Be patient with device setup and don't tab on all stuff, let it run!

It's also recommended to do a hardreset after the flash as it seems to improve the device setup procedure.

If you have a XDA_UC folder on your storage card I recommend not to fully load it with all your cabs.

First test the rom as it's please.

Thank you, enjoy the rom. :)

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrmccann:
Thanks for your tip...we all know how to send an sms, and i am happy that it works for you. But saying it works for you does not help others nor alter the fact that there might be some issues.

L26 is

"learning from us" so he needs to know what is an issue!

I was not being critical of L26's work...i think he is brilliant.

I am merely saying that even with his brilliance, there is an sms issue that me and others are having, and has been reporte not just here, but on all the LEO rom cooker's fourms as it seems to be an issue with the LEO not the L26!

It still lags slightly when sending, and again i think this is because we are trying to run a newer rom on an older processor...even though L 26 has done amazing things to make it zip!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrmccann:
Hey, thanks for the tip...i will try this immediately

I really like L26's work, but just can't stand the sms issue that is a LEO rom! So if i can get rid of that, i would love to use his rom

Thanks

j

UPDATE...Looked at this thread...working on some, not on others, no confirmation that it works on L26's V2.

HERE IS A CHALLENGE...the person who solves it is PROVED to be the best cook...do a LEO rom with the older 6.5 manila messaging that links back to simple MS sms!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cerato:
Dude,

For me there is not an sms issue at all. It is a matter of taste for the interface. TF3D msg layout is smooth and responsive but if ya don't like it just use the above cab and try. However you'll face a real issue then with mms and mail. Your choice.:rolleyes: Read the thread with disabling HTC Messaging carefully.

Internet connection is fine, can browse to twitter from browser.

Any ideas?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xet:
any screenshot fot the menu icons please ?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Interesting, but it's not something you can just add to a ROM... applications have to be written to use these OpenGL based controls. So existing apps would just look the same (unless MS somehow manage to update there class libraries to use these new controls without affecting apps (unlikely)).

Also prefers OpenGL hardware support (which we have, but HTC/Qualcomm couldn't agree licence fee for).

Update your location as described on page 1.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] farqui:
Laurentius, with the temptation of a fast/stable ROM I've just flashed v2 without any issues (SD card removed) and as you say, provided you take your time through the set-up phase it works fine.

I executed few tests to ensure SMS, MMS worked - they do and are fairly snappy too.

Reordered TF3D tabs.

Installed my usual CAB's (see sig), soft reset and all seemed ok. Set NoData to turn off all but MMS (Orange, UK).

Within HTC Sense/TF3D, updated clocks (removed all and added my own) and then found that Manila wouldn't re-started and would start-up, even after a soft reset.

This has been noted by some users before - I've just hard reset and will try and again without my app's and report back. *update within Today Settings I no longer see TF3D and Sense options, just the latter (ticked by default).

Initial observations are promising and I'm finding it way quicker than Dutty's R2 - give yourself a pat on the back :D 'cos it looks like a keeper.

I'll continue with my set-up and report back anything else I spot.

Me likeee;

snappy Manila navigation (even without Neo's drivers)

Manila email tab without envelop obscura

works out of the box; Home button, SMS, MMS, EndCall button=device lock

Points to note;

TF3D failure to start after clock country update (if that adversely affected Manila) *update: I'm not sure it did as I've since added country's with no issues so perhaps it's down to the xtra TF3D option (within Today) - which I no longer see

after hardreset, I was surprised to see start/completed dialogues - I've never used UC and never seen these msgs before on a ROM

the 3G switch within HTC's Wireless Controls would be nice - I used it quite alot whilst roaming with Dutty's R2. I think I've seen a cab to put it back, somewhere...

scrollbar arrows are missing - registry this fix doesn't work - \Windows\*.png are missing/different

lowres start menu icons - no bigeee as I'll be ReStart'g 'em later on

\ErrorRep and \DebLogger folder are being written to, can we use this to turn them off ? and gain a little speed up ?

sms search adds the search text as a recipient

HI Laurentius great ROM, only one question .. i can't understand how the htc message works. I have in my phone 100 sms ,but in the all message screen i see only five of this ? If I set the standard option , i see all but it's very slow

Someone can help me ?

no big deal... you can just drag the bottom half all the way up and that's it. but you have to do it every time you start resco explorer :)

does anybody know how to enable mms. i'm using spb shell and i have disabled htc messaging and now i can't send/receive mms.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
This is because the messages are 'threaded' ... i.e. like a conversation. Click one of the messages and you'll notice the 'thread' expands to show all the messages for that thread.

You probably only have 5 different recipients (or senders of SMS) but many messages.... therefore resulting in only 5 initial messages shown.

Hope that helps you understand!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheBrilliantMistake:
Both work fine.... BUT...

Weather is complex, and there are other reasons why this can fail, so let's work on Twitter first...

1) Can you establish an internet connection and browse via Opera or IE?

If no... you don't HAVE connectivity

2) If you CAN browser then you DO have connectivity...

So try twitter again.

3) If twitter fails, try a different connectivity method...

i.e. Switch from 3G/GPRS/HSDAP to WiFi instead (or vice versa)

4) Try again with browsing (to prove the new connectivity method works)

5) Try twitter again

Weather is a WHOLE lot more messy for a number of reasons, but it's working for most of us over WiFi and some of us via 3G/GPRS/HSDPA. This is mostly down to network problems rather than the device itself, so don't worry if it's not working via 3G/GPRS/HSDPA.
