Feedback on 23071 S-25 R-01a!

I don't have a bug to report or anything as of right now since it was released. Everything is working well and smooth. HTC messaging is still slow BUT def. not as slow as it was when monx released it with 23016 2.5!!! It's def faster then that and I can feel the difference.

If anything happens, I will post it. :)

Forgot to mention the ONLY thing I don't like is the volume...still MS old volume :(. Monx did mention it HTC volume still doesn't want to work right so I can wait.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Maybe you've already seen this...but the HTC/Manila? volume control is still there, just hidden. If you tap on the little clock on the far right of the top bar you get the new pop-up menu with 5 icons. Tap on the one in the middle and the good volume control shows, and the volume keys work that volume control.

No, this isn't convenient... It's weird that the HTC/Manila control is still lurking, but doesn't engage by default -- but you can force it.

(BTW: Exact same situaton/behavior on NRG's WM6.5.1 rom)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Yeah I noticed that one.

Another issue I just found out which I read from v1.20 thread.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4788068&postcount=405

I tried it right away with my version and same issue.

Youtube doesn't play the way it should. It freezes here and their while playing and sometimes doesn't want to load the video.

guyz, probably, you know about the fix? where can I find it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
It's in the add ons. The only .cab for the keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monx®:
sorry for any confusion, the said fix is for Notification LED non-stop blinking, not for SIP blinking. I will try to compile another hotfixes within this week. Thank you so much for your greatest supports.

edit : the fix is in 23017.21.01a folder
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Thank you monx!!!

EDIT: Oh that's for the notification flash LED fix. Ok.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dimdimdim:
man, thanks, waiting for the sip blinking fix as currently sip doesn't work in messaging tab of contact

Awaiting Sense2.5 camera and volume button fix, great rom, smooth, eye candy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Just got a donation in Monx. Keep up the good work! Sorry it couldn't be more, but hopefully I can more later.

I tried flashing the 23071 01a build and it seems pretty nice, but I noticed that TF3D seemed to be shifted down a little bit, so where I could see part of the windows background bleeding through the top, and the sliding icon area in the bottom was partially covered up by the soft keys. I am reflashing (something I normally do after a flash anyways, a hard reset) and am going to see if the problem comes back when I set my Windows lock hard drive again. It seems to be good now so I'll see if it comes back (or if I run into any other issues). I will admit that seeing the default WM volume panel when I hit the volume keys was somewhat disappointing, but maybe I can install a HTC Volume cab to change that.

Found the shifting problem (recreatable) -> If I uncheck tabs on TF3D, then the TF3D shifts down a little bit, I think to the old traditional position before moving up to make room for the new WM soft key and start button region. Now I need to search to see if there is another way to shift it back...

update -> Found a "manila position fix" here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4492692&postcount=3494 seeing if it fixes the problem, but from the description it looks like it will.

I am enjoying the 23071 1a build too, I think it is the best-looking rom out here for now.

The combination of fonts and screen elements make it so unique and unlike the other boilerplate looks.

Two things though, if I may ask:

1. Is there any way we can get the Programs Tab back in Manila?

While the Start menu organization is great, it still needs a few more taps more for my Apps that what I would prefer.

2. The Weather seems to be updating only when the WiFi is on, and not when there is a GPRS/HSPA session active. Stocks and FaceBook updates are fine; only Weather does that; any ideas?

Thank you Monx and all in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
23071: Programs Tab or Manila Start Menu, Please

I'll add my vote requesting the Manila Programs tab or the Manila Start Menu as an option, too!

The regular Start Menu is OK...but I prefer having what amounts to a Favorite Programs screen.

But I love WM6.5.1, so I'll take what I can get. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] a042349:
Hi, I am trying to 'enjoy' this new (23071 Sense 2.1) ROM but it appears I cannot download it. I have registered on monx.biz, and can download the "Public ROMS" but not any of these latest versions.

Are "donations" required to download these newer ROM's?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Whatever is not in the PUBLIC folder is for the private members. So yes you have to donate to get access to the ones that are NOT in the public folder.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] a042349:
Hmmm...guess "donation" isn't really the right word then.

And I mean no disrespect to a probably hard working and talented chef that certainly has a right to eat.

I would have liked to have tried them.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Alright well twice since flashing this earlier I've had it lock up on me twice. The 2nd time was after using google maps a bit with the gps, when I exited it, the screen remained locked for 5 minutes or so. I believe I saw the blinking LED that was mentioned above (no hf installed yet). I had the blinking SIP once too. Hopefully these can be fixed soon though. One thing that I noticed after soft resetting after it the battery showed 100% even though it wasn't. I believe an old rom would occassionally lock up relating to the battery driver (unless my memory is confused which could be the case). I just thought that I'd toss it out there at least.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Hey monx,

The memory eats up way faster on manila then on windows interface!!! Also for some reason twitter doesn't want to connect to the network. Always a network error when trying to "update" after logging in. It would work once in the blue though. My network is fine, I don't know what's up with twitter.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] antoniotdi:
Very good rom!!

When i write sms I'd like to have vibration on touch qwerty. How can i do to have it?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Got to use the Tweak tool and go down to SIP.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Also you can get to those settings under settings - personal - phone.

And btw my twitter has been working fine so far. My location sometimes seems a bit off (like it will just say my state instead of my city) but its working too at least.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schriss:
This ROM looks great, it has beautifull boot screen and I was really impressed until I found out that it is also highly unstable and unreliable, it reboots for no reason and drains battery very fast (think of less than one day).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Now my battery life is second to none using this rom. I am kind of optimized for battery life though since I leave my 3G disabled, so that could make a bit of a difference. It has been over a day since it has been on the charger though and I'm still over 50%.

My camera isn't working though. When I try to bring it up, I just get a black screen. There is also an annoying behavior, that every time the screen turns off, when it comes back on it is locked. This means when I am on the phone and the screen turns off because of the light sensor, when the call is ended my phone is auto locked. Also when I'm typing I sometimes bump the power button briefly, and then bump it again and its locked. I'll look through hdtweak or advanced config and see if that can be changed though.

edit -> soft reset and the camera came back for some reason. I did find in TweakUI a section for enabling the lock when the screen gets turned off. I originally had it set to the correct position (disabled), so I tried enabling it then disabling it, and my phone is still doing it :-/ This is for the 23071 TF3D 2.5 rom btw.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
Def. good enough for everyday use as is....for me!

BUT like I said before manila EATS UP THE MEMORY!!! Whenever I can get Task-Manager open I would see the open programs. Always around 5 programs open that I haven't even opened up!!! :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] vagelis:
Yes the 071 build is definetly more than good enough for everyday use.

The only minor gripes I have with it are the weather only updating with Wifi on, and the lack of a Manila Programs tab

Other that that, the font and screen elements are unique, and make the Windows phone a strange but cool hybrid child of a windows and nokia union :D

Screen not rotating back to portrait

I'm running ROMeOS3_WM65_1_30_23064_131009

Hi just flashed this baby and I must say that I'm quite impressed with your work.

However, I don't know if this is a bug but when I open and close the hardware keyboard the screen only switches to landscape, it doesn't switch back to portrait again.

Has any one else encountered this bug?

This behaviour is encountered even after a fresh reboot.

Is there a fix available?

Bug: I can't get this ROM to sync with activesync. The computer recognizes my phone, but it stays forever saying "Looking for Changes".

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
I found what's causing the network error with Twitter. It works fine UNTIL after I make or get a call. I would try to update it afterwards and that's when I get the network error.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
On my 23071 01a build, I just noticed that the volume buttons still change the volume levels while the phone is locked...Not good for meetings @ work.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
I've had this a couple of times. Once today in Opera, and otherwise I think in the sms window. Returning to the home screen seems to whack everything back in line for me.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] emwdava:
The lockscreen seems to rotate the screen back to portrait for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Mine will lock in landscape. I'd know since I hit the power button often enough while typing, and still haven't gotten around the phone locking when the screen turns off.

Here's a new one though. The phone was sitting in the pouch locked and with the screen off. I received a sms and the phone started vibrating solidly. I waited just about 2 minutes later (timed on my cd player) and hit the power button to wake the phone up, which finally ended the constant vibrate.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] emwdava:
I've experienced this too, but that was on the official HTC 6.5 upgrade ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schriss:
Still not good enough.

I always have 3G enabled, no compromses.

Anyway, I think I might have found something:

Before I flashed ROMeOS my phone could last more than 3 days.

Also, before ROMeOS, I never nabled Power Saving option enabled in TweakUI. Now it is enabled by default.

So I disabled it.

Result:

yesterday 10PM battery at 75% (3G enabled)

today morning 11AM battery at 73%.

This is what I got used to. I will see gow far will it go throughout today.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] antoniotdi:
Thank you :)

Is there a way to have task manager at top of home screen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Yea I believe that I had it happen with that rom once as well.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Perhaps I will disable it and see if it makes a difference for me and then will report back.

And trust me, I'd have 3G enabled if I could use it! Thanks T-Mo for only using 1700 & 2100 while att only uses 850 & 1900. Hopefully someone experienced here at xda can find a way to unlock frequencies as it has happened super rarely in the past. If I left the 3G radio on right now, I'd still only get edge, but would use more battery to get it.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Alright I found the solution to the annoyance that was about to get me to reflash today! As much as I changed the autolock setting in tweakui, the screen would still always autolock, which I could stand. Especially on phone calls when the screen would turn off from the light sensor, then lock.

There is a program called smartlock in the system settings, and that's what I had to use to set the locking behavior to something more preferred. I like my screen locking only when I tell it explicitely to, and thats with my end key shortcut :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
i have tried about 3 or 4 of these roms and only 1 has been stable but most of the screen dont work when i slide the keyboard out so hopefully i will be happy with this one
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
i will admit this is a freaking good stable rom but it needs more life into it it would be better if you could have those widgets boxes under the weather clock like on the leo home screen now that would be kool but for some reason it feels alot like 6.1 just the start menu changed. i dont know just my 2 cent
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] frenchie746:
This version isn't meant to have those "shortcuts" your talking about. This uses manila 2.1. If you want those "shortcuts" you need to download his version that uses either manila 2.5 or sense 2.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
and wich build would that be because on his website this is the latest version availible to the public
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] schriss:
I feel your pain. I only use 3G to get high speed, I almost always see H on my screen (HSDPA), very rarely edge.

To sum up:

yesterday 10PM: 75%

today 7PM: 51%

during that tim I received 3 sms messages, sent 1 and was using Bluetooth Activesync for 30 min to sync and transfer files, install 2 applications. This bluetooth fun has costed me 10%.

That is with TweakUI Power Saving disabled.

I will try Media Player and Youtube tomorrow. If any problems, will give another ROM a try. I always have something on my SD and backup prior to flash is so easy. I can do it all while at work ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
I always flash at work also, and I have like 3 different cabs folders on my storage card as well. My only problem is manilla settings as I've been too lazy to go through the whole sashimi process, especially doing it once for m2.1 and again for m2.5.

I tried disabling the power saving, and I had the results you had with it enabled. I think in 1 hour I lost over 15% battery. I enabled it again and its back to good.

Oh yea and I really do miss 3G, but I'm really loving my KB. Vzn, sprint, and att all messed with the KB too much for me (although att's is supreme the worst). Number keys and ctrl+c and ctrl+v ftw.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] HeavyComponent:
All of a sudden I keep getting this "Network Log On" screen. :confused:

How do I stop it? Asks for User, Password and Domain...

HTC Messaging is really really screwed up along with the SIP! Freezes my phone a lot and I have to do a few resets daily!!!

I read their is a new build out (23081) so I hope this build is more improved and monx jumps on it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:
Yea I just encountered this actually. Was writing a SMS and my phone froze mid sentance. Back light stayed permanently on. Power button wouldn't turn it off. Holding down hang up wouldn't autolock (that is how it normally behaves with my settings). Had to reboot...and I think HTC's messaging interface doesn't save draft messages :-/

Yea I'm thinking about heading back to official HTC WM 6.5. In fact if I could get Monx's fonts & icons & themes & start menu organization on the stock HTC WM 6.5, I'd probably be a pretty happy camper. I have thought about trying to create such a rom when I find some free time, but between 4 jobs & grad school, there's not too much of that floating around.

Jason
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] myrandex:

Has anyone gotten autorotation to work on manila? I'm currently on ROMeOS3_WM65_1_30_23064_131009

I reflashed my phone and now the keyboard rotates the screen both ways :)

I guess it was a faulty flash..

I'm trying to add autorotation to manila among other stuff. But it just wont work. Opera and IE6 has autorotation though.

I tried using G-Config

And a Regfile that contains a list of pre-added regkeys for different apps to autorotate.

Can anyone give it a go please? Maybe you have more experience and luck than me :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] monx®:
Friends,

Just a quick note,

The WM6.5.1 (23071) + Sense 2.5 combination is still hv lot of bugs & compatibility issue which is a large amount of time is needed as both are beta & not for our device. There are so many conflict within the modules & dependencies. Please proceed to use 23017 + Sense 2.1 for stability.

I'm sorry for quite away. You know my damn sux connection. :o

I will try my best for our device.
