So long beloved Rhodium

I Just wanted to give a shout out NRG for the priveledge of being able to freely flash his ROMs of awesomeness on my Raphael & Rhodium.

Thank you to the thread and community for all the great help and direction. Since I've had my Tilt 2 I think I have only posted once or twice if that. My point being that I read and searched for the answers and fixes I needed with all them being found within reasonable time frames.

With that being said I have decided to purchase an HD2, sacrificing my beloved keyboard and tilt screen for speed. Honestly, I don't think I will have that hard a time transitioning because I was getting so frustrated with lag. I love all the features of CHT and all the other goodness cooked in that I want to fully enjoy it by not having to dasable so many features.

I am upgrading my wife's Fuze to the Samsung Captivate running Android which is an awesome device! 1GHZ processor, HD video, etc...however I'm not ready to move over to Android or leave htc devices and NRG ROMs either.

Thank you NRG and XDA, donations coming your way this weekend.

Welcome to the dark side son...follow me...I'll show you the HD2 force ;)

What font problem? Only issue I had was Chinese fonts not showing up right, but that fix has already been posted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
Ah yes, I'd posted a link to FontLinkMethods fix a little earlier but it neither fixed jrey's Thai WinCE font issue nor it seems, did any further suggestions.

It would seem that not all Asian fonts are created equal, so I'd imagine it would make NRGZ's job a rather tedious one to bugtest every font personally. Given that the upcoming 23121 build is based off of an official release, perhaps the chances of success will be higher?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
I would say that given the fact that the build came from a Chinese-targeted phone (the Huashan), it MAY BE you will have a better luck with it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MKK:
the Huashan . . . Ni Hao! 你好！

So looking forward to trying the new Energy 23121 ROM "reference" and following the current wisdom of installing Cookie 1.7.1.

I can't take it anymore waiting for Cookie 2.0 and am so, so, so ready to say goodbye to the sluggishness of my current 1.8.5 build.

Thank goodness for the speed and skills of NRGZ. You rock!

WinMo Build Numbers?

I have a question for the more knowledgeable folks out there about WinMo builds.

Why is it that some supposedly newer builds have lower revision numbers?

It would seem going from 23569 > 23673 > 23131 is a step backwards. Am I wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] resqman:
new roms uploading now:D:D:D:D

Energy.RHODIUM.21911.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Jul.21.7z is there now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
It might appear that way, but from what I'm starting to understand from reading the Leo thread, it's definitely not a step backwards.

23131 is an official release, not as NRGZ puts it "a leaked, modified beta". I'm not sure which branch of development this is, but apparently with Windows Mobile 6.5.5 being axed, current interest is turning to the 6.5.3 branch.

And apparently the 23131 is reportedly faster than 23673, at least for the Leo. Take it for what it is. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MOster:
Syncing isn't reliable. It'll say, "connected," and I can compose mail and click send and they'll just sit in the outbox. Incoming mail doesn't make it in anything approaching a timely fashion. If I'm lucky I'll get things two or three hours after they end up in my inbox.

I'd really appreciate any help you can offer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BigWopHH:
Thanks for the insight, but I have to ask a related question now. :)

Why would the technically newer, more feature laded 6.5.5 be axed, while 6.5.3 is still being worked on?

It's like the Radio thread. Many posted seem to think .77 is a new rev. than .91, simply because it was posted later. Does the same thing happen with the OS builds? Because a phone manufacturer has qualified 23121 on their device, does it really mean it's a newer build? During development, phone manufacturers have to cut off testing of new OS builds at a certain point or they'll never finish testing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cerealfreak:
Oh hell yes!!! I know those symptoms

Some people just can't help themselves but to whine and moan

So long and I am glad to see someone with the intelligence to sort out their own issues :)

I hadn't heard of 6.5.5 being axed where was this reported?

Heh! With my O.R.D., it's already flashed... I'm running XDA_UC at the moment, settings importer (NRG + CHT) to follow immediately...

Already liking what I see: Seems very fluid and smooth so far...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SilverLynx:
GRRRRRRR! I was hitting the refresh constantly, must have been the slow download... Yeah that's it, slow downloads!

Glad to hear a good initial reports...

23191 Dinik dling now

I'm going to flash using the FlashaholicsRUU utility. This will be the 3rd flash using it and its been sweet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
You're finding that utility working out nicely? I haven't yet utilized it... Haven't figured out what 'task 32' is yet either (I know, SEARCH! LOL)...

On another note: This newest ROM is blazingly fast at booting, at least compared to earlier 21xxx builds!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Medic2116:
Where is it?!?

Where is Energy.RHODIUM.23121.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.21.7z?

I need it man! Just a little? P-p-p-please?!? I need my fix. Come on man, the twitches are getting reeeeeeal bad now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Grouphome1:
Quick call a medic :p:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
LOL! O.R.D. much?

Go get a 'fix' of something else for the moment, because it might take a few... But from what I'm seeing on my ROM (sig), it'll be SOOOooooo worth it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] resqman:
I've tested by doing multiple back to back flashes on my old fuze. This will be my third flash on the Rhodium. From start to finish (task 29 to boot) was under 6 minutes.

Go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=726026 for more info (including what task 32 does :D)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] resqman:
Its there!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
I've read that thread, and still get no clear example of what Task32 does... I know Task29 wipes all info from the ROM...

Something about resetting security???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] resqman:
The page and some explanations have been added recently.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
OK, so I update my radio before my ROM... What's the diff in that process...?

OK, never mind. I just re-read that and it's all pretty clear to me now. Very nice process; I'll have to try that next time...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] raz1337:
What are you guys using as backup and restore routines? That's just the main obstacle for me. I just have my energy reference setup so perfectly, and I'd like to make the update seamlessly. I'm using MS MyPhone but what about system settings, start menu settings, browser favorites, etc?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stained-steel:
Personally, I use this trifecta: Microsoft MyPhone, NRG's Settings Exporter and Cookie's Home Tabe Editor's Settings Exporter...

Still a boatload of settings to redo later, but it saves at least a 1/2 days worth of setup...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] resqman:
There is a file there that appelflap posted that can be used (in our Rhodiums) if you don't want to flash a radio or bootscreen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] resqman:
I use the same as stained steel. A few things that need to be cleaned up after but mostly stuff not important to the use of the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
Guys, I have a big problem. I follow the info here to change teh font to tahoma in order ot use the chinese input but now my phone boot to a black screen. HOw can I fix this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raychem:
Still telling people how to run there phone I see!!! No HD2 yet?!? Hve not been in here for a while but since I have been runing android on my HD2 for the last few days I have my TP2 as a backup...so I am updating the TP2 with a new ROM....just in case.:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
I changed the registry like I found via search and now my phone boots to a black screen. I annot activesync to reflash the rom.

how can I get the phone working:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_T_M:
Unless you just run out of battery....I think you might have a brick on your hands :eek:

Any lights, green led..anything on? :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
there's no light at all. the boot screen shows but then goes into a black screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
Do a hard reset
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] raz1337:
Can you get in the bootloader? power + volume down while turned off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
yeah,I just found it online and did a heard rest. the phone is booting up now. man. what a relieve. I was so stressed over that I got a bricked phone.

btw, if I hard reset it, is all of the radio info, hardspl and all other stuff there right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] M_T_M:
See....a rule of thumb is that if there is some kind of activity...a light, screen dimmed out, green led, etc.....it's fixable....so, close call today...now what did we learn today? :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Medic2116:
Finally!

Aaaaahhhhh.... Sweet, sweet relief. :D

Okay. I'm all better now. Time to go play!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] raz1337:
I had that close call a few days ago. Installed a CDMA rom on my GSM phone without realizing. Scared the **** out of me until I did some forum searches and found out how to flash the rom from the bootloader.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Hehe, I'm waiting to get my unbranded Galaxy S... :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
it was a huge scare for me. Having flashed like 3-4 times already, this is the first time, I ever had issue. So I was not awared how to do the hard reset. Finally found an instruction online and was able to revive it.

Thank you so much for the feedback, you've been so supportive and quick with replies.

What did we learn, well, don't flash the rom:) or rather, don't mess with the registry. Now I am scared to edit the registry to fix Chinese display issue with the phone now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
lucky you. I so want a Captivative from ATT but they won't swap it for me:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Raychem:
Android runs very well on the HD2..the bugs are less and less with every new version, but that Galaxy is very nice!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
can someone tried can confirm that the following will get Chinese to work (or if there a cab I can dl so I don't "brick my phone again":):

HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Nm = "Tohoma"

and have

HKLM\System\GDI\FontLinkMethods = 1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmalka:
I will tell you a secret: you have to do a lot of effort to be able to brick the phone. Changing the registry is not enough...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
1 GHz Hummingbird processor w/ PowerVR540 3D chip. You know you want it. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thebritons:
Tried both methods listed, left it for 30min twice, im just going to perform a hard reset when the next GTX is ready for download.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] martian07:
Brick

Completely agree with you. All it need is little more reading before, well or sometime after. And BTW if you can get into boot loader you can always flash a new ROM. Still can't believe that registry editing make it go completely blank though I have never done that one for diff language.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cerealfreak:
Thanks for the spot, I completely missed that one. Goddamn MSFT lying as often as portable. They promised that 6.5.5 would continue in it's current guise or deceiving customers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gmann1:
NRGZ, please don't forget upload also 23x MaxSense version ;)

Thxxxxx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J-Hop2o6:
and the GTX versions! lol
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] martian07:
Backup and restore settings PIM etc.

I use combination of things, as stained steel and resqman said, I also use Microsoft Myphone or PIM backup, NRG setting exporter, CHT editor and a bunch of registry settings. I takes me <30 min to get back to my full setup. If you look through 'Energy' ROM/XDA_UC - User to user tips and tricks! or ther specific software/plugin thread, you will find lot of registry and other entries for different system and other settings. You can copy any of the registry entry (single entry or entire tree) into a .reg file or vice-versa using simple 'Total commander' included in all NRG ROMs. I personally use Silent UC ( XDA-UC is similar) to restore my settings. All the common ROM independent settings goes to 'My registry', folder, ROM version dependent entries goes to 'Registry' folder (similarly for CAB etc) so you can choose. You can modify the mortscript to copy any files/folders combination to target of your choice.

Once you have all these settings saved your flashing will be faster and enjoyable. Don't mind my sig, can't keep with the pace of changing ROMs. Soon you will be in ORD group.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
As far as I know the font is called Tahoma not Tohoma. Perhaps that's why it didn't work out too well?

Doesn't matter anyway because in the post immediately after...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
I think I may have found out the issue. It may have to do with either the Chinese input method or the chinese font. I tried to download the cab that was in the thread #5, the installation went through fine but when I uninstall it, it gave me teh same problem again.

I have a feeling that when it was uninstalled, it must have removed some files or change some registry which render the phone not able to boot normally.

quick question, anyone else feels that the speaker sounded weaker with the latest version? I was using the May version adn the boot up sound is much stronger (not sure it's just the boot up sound or the speaker in general).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
Call me dumb but can you be a tad more specific on how to change it? I am a bit scared now with reg editor now:).

I think I know where to go to but in there, I need to add a "value" then enter FontLinkMethods, but then under type, what should I choose?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
I'm just downloading the latest ROM, so haven't even tried it yet, but I thought it was time to say a big thanks to NRG from myself for all his awesome work, it's really appreciated. Like it or not, our TP2 is getting to be an "old" phone in the fast-moving mobile phone world, but he keeps giving us great stuff to help us all get more out of it.

NRG, you rock man ! :cool:

Edit - normally I wouldn't do this publicly, but just so you know us Rhodium guys do donate - 72D28476MP430184V

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Forever022:
=====================

I use shashimi... it took some time to figure out and how to set up emails, and everything else.

Now after each rom it takes max 3 mins to set up everything how i like it set up... Another way to install apps fast... is to install them once to the SD card... copy each shortcut from Stat meny and its REG for each application and drop them in the sashimi REG folder... that way you dont need to install every application over and over...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jedah:
Are you using the Registry Editor in the Tool section that was cooked into the ROM? I don't see an area to enter "type" when I double click on "FontLinkMethods" Do you mean the place where you specify hexadecimal or decimal? If so, mine seems to be set at hexadecimal. As for the other registry tweak (w/ tahoma), it still works for me, too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Phytrax:
Anyone else having an issue with SMS messages? When I click on a conversation in the WinMo view it pulls up the threaded view but it always cuts off the last message if I haven't read it already. If the message is read then it displays fine. I can scroll up and see the message pretty easily but still it's a tad annoying and I haven't seen the issue in previous ROM's. I thought it was the Astronaut SMS skin causing it on the Dinik 23xxx July 16 ROM but now I have the same issue on the July 21 ROM and have not installed skins yet. Thanks for any help. Otherwise this ROM is great so far, no other issues yet.

Also, on the July 16 version, the RSS app would lock up frequently after reading 3 or 4 threads. I could close it with task manager and then reopen, otherwise I could not use it again until a soft reset.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Phytrax:
Double posted, sorry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] PUTALE:
yes, I am using the registry editor in the tool section. When I went to the HKLM\System\GDI\ I press the white space and select "New", then choose "Value" and entered the FontLinkMethods. I guess I will also use hexadecimal.

BTW, did you also get a chinese input for the phone? I found an input but it uses Touch Pro's layout, which is a bit annoying if I want to use the physical keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jopherr:
how do you move short cuts around using sashimi
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Just flashed Jul 21 (23121/CHT). Same problem as with the Jul 17 ROM, in that after initial setup, and deleting/rearranging some Sense tabs, when it tries to automatically restart Sense, I have to tap on the screen to get rid of the "Starting HTC Sense" message, and after that the message goes away but it just hangs, and I need to soft reset.

Same problem too when making changes in the CHT Editor, and Apply/Exit to restart Sense (soft reset required).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Forever022:
using explorer (i personally use RESCO explorer)... go to device>windows>start menu>programs and copy the short cuts from the programs you want to shashimi>auto>root>windows>start menu>

you'll have to create the folders in the "root" folder... and can then put them under GPS, multimedia, etc, or just the start menu...

Same thing with opera Mini links... i just copied the database files to be copied after i install the new rom and then its all ready to go..

Sashimi>root>program files>opera mini 5

PM if you need further help

Could someone say me - how it looks with memory usage in new 23121 ver.? (always so high :confused:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] THEDARKEST:
I hope I didn't miss something cause I searched for my question but couldn't find anything.

Is there a ROM with MaxSense from the 21st of July?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
My initial impressions of Jul 21 (23121/CHT) are good, it seems pretty fast. Too early to comment on memory usage, but I don't normally have a problem with that myself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufc:
There is no love for the Max Sense yet and the Rom God hasen‘t said if there will be any :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gmann1:
OK, thx for reply.

So I try a new rom on my own skin :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] THEDARKEST:
Hmm, that's a shame.

I love the MaxSense UI!

But in the ROM I've got installed atm the HTC Sense doesn't start and the solution in the OP doesn't work :(

I know I can hard reset but I thought if there is an updated ROM, I can install the new one.

Thanks for the reply.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] adhawkins:
Hi all,

Flashed to a reference 21xxx ROM a week or so ago (the 10th July version). Very impressed with the stability and performance so far.

I seem to be having an issue with charging the phone while it's connected to a PC. The light on the handset lights up to show that it's plugged in, but it doesn't actually appear to charge the battery. If I plug it into a mains charger it's just fine.

I'm pretty sure that the laptop I'm using used to charge just fine, but couldn't put my hand on heart and swear to it.

Anyone else seen anything similar?

Cheers

Andy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
Does it charge from the laptop with the phone completly switched off? If it does, it may be something causing excessive power drainage when it's switched on. In any case, it might help you pinpoint where the problem is.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] adhawkins:
I had the same thought, so tried that last night. It didn't appear to be charging (turned the phone on after half an hour or so and the batter indicator showed a lower charge).

Just trying to charge from my PC at work to see if I see the same thing.

Andy
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mickey690:
As there doesn't seem to be any new maxsense roms coming from NRG I was wondering is there any way to re-cook say the refernce rom but with maxsense in?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monomer888:
I have to add that I've used the 21911 Reference ROM prior to my current one and have not come across this myself. Not sure if it'd help, but previous advice for similar but not precisely your scenario is that you could also try a different USB cable, a different battery (if you have one) and check there are no bent pins in the USB port. Also does the data connection work (i.e. can you use Activesync, or use the phone as a USB drive)?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] adhawkins:
The cable works fine for Activesync on the phone, so pretty sure the phone is Ok. Also, it appears that it's charging just fine on my work PC. Perhaps it's the USB port in the laptop not providing enough power to charge.

Pretty sure it's worked in the past though.

Oh well, thanks for the suggestions.

Andy
