Memory Usage

OK: Here's what it looks like now after using Opera and getting e-mail but not much else, with Activesync running in the background (and Taskmanager, obviously):

View attachment 300128 - View attachment 300129

And now after running cleanRAM at Level 3 "Full Power"

View attachment 300137 - View attachment 300138

So...I haven't done this check in a long time, so I don't know how the gwes, etc, usage usually adds up, but the amount of Program Memory that's being grabbed does seem more/faster than previously.

Still runs fast, though...so I'm not really complaining :)

use this and dump the content in the windows dir....using for 30 mins, din see any issues, but use with caution

cab will not work

to uninstall just in case

go inside windows folder, find the file and rename it to your name....reboot :)

Chinese fonts

Yes, Dinky, I did try your post 6006 suggestion earlier today after installing the Chinese fonts cab offered on this site -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633339. I used Total Commander and created HKLM\System\GDI\FontLinkMethods = 1. I did a soft reset, but the Chinese fonts were still not appearing in my emails. I guess I could try installing the Chinese font cab suggested by Agent_47 and referenced in you post 6006, but I've been nervous about installing one Chinese font cab after another.

Will that be a problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Thanks, I'll try it...and I ain't afraid of consequences -- that's what hard-reset is for! :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Holy shnikeys, I don't think I've ever seen my gwes hit 40+MB! :eek:

I'll give it a try too! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrip777:
Yeah Im right there with you guys I havent S.R. all day. Did cleanram a couple times. Opera is the only thing I have running and Im at 90%. But just like you guys said evrything is running super smooth I would never had guessed it was that high unless I saw for myself. I too will try this .exe swap I guess you would call it. seems hard to beleive tho that just that one file would that severe of a difference. But will try none the less.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Copied the gwes.exe to Windows, rebooted, no problems.

Gwes.exe after s.r. was still >30MB...and growing. Growing as fast? I don't know. So...whatever.

Maybe -- just as an experiment -- I'll drop back a couple of editions, like, to 25007TR2.5, and see if Gwes.exe behaves any differently.

I do experiments/R&D for a living -- I hate guessing what's true, I need to know! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrip777:
after I posted I went into task manager just to see and my gwes.exe was only at 5mb. compared to what you guys are posting that doesnt seem right at all I must be confused. and again thats running all day with heavy use no sr and maybe two cleanrams.???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Yes -- I don't remember the details...but I think it depends on which taskmanager you're using to look at it, how big gwes.exe appears. Why? I don't know.

I installed this one -- View attachment 300146 -- after agent_47 asked/suggested the question about "what's running". This seems to overwrite the built-in Taskmanager, though, so be aware of that if you intall it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
That task manager has a pretty nice registry editor too

Mk, Agent or anyone else, I have a major glitch now.

So for many different ROMs I've been using the AT&T keyboard fix. Up till this point, it's worked. It even worked for Valkyrie, until this afternoon. I was typing, closed my phone up, opened it back up for my next text, and the keyboard was back to Touch Pro 2's original settings.

Now I flashed the keyboard fix 3 times, and it's still not being corrected. I'm in love with this ROM, and I REALLY, REALLY want to just settle down on it. Sure, it has a few glitches, but so did shifu's ROM for my Tilt (and after I flashed, I stayed with it). I'm not really a flash addict, I just want a ROM that works, and this one seems to be it (no, I'm not stroking your ego, I'm just happy with this ROM).

What can I do to fix this? And my next paycheck I'll actually be donating. I might be willing to flash once or twice more, but the 6.2 Leo is a godsend, considering it does everything I want it to with minimal bugs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] autonomous-inc:
And my bad for the double post, but just clarifying (I felt this needed an extra post), I downloaded two programs today: Morphgear and dutty's x9 removal. Everything worked for a few hours, then as I said, it went fubar.

(On a side note, for anybody on .91 radio, the .77 has major improvements; I'm a senior in college and my dorm room is pretty much underground - it's nice, it's apartment style, but because of it being underground, I get poor reception at times. I'd suggest a .77 upgrade for anyone still using any previous radios. My reception is great, and the phone generally runs faster. Just so you know, I flashed the radio AFTER this problem had occurred.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jack228:
You can see the chinese font when you modify regedit

HKLM\System\GDI\FontLinkMethods = 1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jack228:
have more and more problems with incoming calls are not shown on the screen.

instead just the lockscreen is displayed.

i can accept the call by sliding the "invisible" _accept/ignore_ slider, and the "mute ring" button works by tabbing where it should be.. just the screen display doesnt care

agent,Do you have any idea?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
i don have any of the things u said......and i din notice any ATT user complain of KB issue either :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dinky:
I would suggest you to uninstall the cab you installed before installing another Chinese font cab. I'm using Ricky's Yahei font extracted from Windows 7 here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
can s.o. pls dump the "windows\lockscreen" dir for me? somehow i had a strange crash with 23110 and since then, my wimo ALWAYS locks to the old lockscreen, not caring what i choose in smartlock...

thanks in advance

edit:

oh, works again, donno why...

but; btw: anyone knows why some screens (like the lockscreen) have a amall line on the bottom? as if they have a "margin: 20px" css-attribute set ;)

same on wifi selecting screen..

Does anybody has this ROM in a .zip file? If you do please let me know. :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Why not just use 7-Zip -- it's free -- to unzip this 7-Zip file?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
i think he wanted the nbh /nb file extracted in a zip, didnt he?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Hmm... unzip the .7z file using 7-zip (downloadable from the link I provided), there's the .nbh file.

What more could anyone need/want?

I assumed he didn't know what a .7z file was or that the native extractor is free.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] autonomous-inc:
Hey guys, does anybody have a fix for my problem in >>6470?

I want to be able to use my keyboard. So do any other Tilt 2 users have a clue what might have happened? Or a cab that still works?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dunkkid23:
Thanks alot I'm trying to use the software now. I'll post my success in a min :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dunkkid23:
:mad: Still no success can someone please post the v6.2 leo 6.5.5 with extra tabs in a .zip file? I have no clue to this when it is in different files other than a .zip file. :mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Are you trying to unzip this on your phone or your PC?

Assuming you're doing it on the PC, did you install 7-Zip successfully...but you couldn't extract/de-compress the tp2_firestorm_v6.2.23110LEO.7z?

It may be frustrating now, but it might be worth your while to figure out how to do this. Very few roms are compressed in .zip format, they're ususally .rar or .7z.

That being said, maybe somebody will take the time -- a long time -- to upload this for you in .zip form. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] johnney:
What's the difference between 21897 and 23110?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
use win rar
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dunkkid23:
Im stuck on the .nbh file and I guess it is not allowing me to extract the ROM. What else can be done?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jncokilla:
Will you be putting the Mini Lock Screen back in the next build. I really like it and never had a any problems with it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
The .nbh file

is

the rom.

Are you looking for the file called customRUU.exe so you can flash via activesync from your PC? If so, download and unzip the "Flashing Tools..." from Post #2.

Post #2 lists the difference: 21897 is WM6.5, 23110 is WM6.5.5.

What's the difference between WM6.5 and WM6.5.5? WM6.5.5 is more finger-friendly, with most control keys -- larger keys -- at the bottom of the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
omg.. search the forum "how to flash a rom"!

that are the basics in the sticky posts!

if you dont want to flash (cant find a post telling WHAT you really want to do), then search for "nbh-extracting"

and then use winimage for the .nb file
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Agent, couples bugs to report for 23110 after using it for a day:

1) If I go to Contacts tab -> all contacts & scroll to the "Status update" tab for all contacts, "Update now" does nothing. However, if I go into each individual contact that is Facebook linked and do an "update now," it works as expected. Not a big deal, just need to go into each and every Facebook contact link to update... and not sure if the auto update function will work for all contacts given the update now for all is broken.

2) If I select a contact and click on the "Send message" option, I get a black screen. So, the only way I can send a text right now to someone is either choose "New message" from the Messaging tab and fill in the person's name or just reply to their message.

Not sure if these have already been addressed, so my apologies in advance if that's the case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
How's the speed & memory usage on this one, agent? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
dont have this issue
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Interesting, must be something that I broke when I disabled HTC SIP to have Swype 100%. :)

Thanks for the confirmation!

**Update**: Mine seems to behaving strangely with this. When I click on a contact, it shows "Call Mobile," "Send Message," etc. When I click "Send Message," instead of bringing up the New text msg template, it seems to simply scroll over to the right 1 tab and try to use the HTC SMS messaging tool. Given this tool isn't installed, that's why it just shows a black screen on top. I can easily scroll back to the Contact tab though, so it's not a SOD or anything.

I can duplicate this simply by going to a contact and scroll to the right 1 tab to the HTC messaging screen... same black screen.

Am I the only one experiencing this??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Did you install a Zenyee messaging cab?

Once, I accidentally installed a Zenyee cab (through Silent_UC) in a ROM with WM's Messaging client pre-installed, and I experienced that "skipping the Message Tab" problem. I had to hard reset and remind myself not to install Zenyee, and I no longer had that problem.

If you didn't install Zenyee, then I don't know why that's happening to you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
isnt that the TYPICAL behaviour when tapping on "send message"?

when u install another tool to manage ur messaging and it dont worx with this rom, it isnt an issue of the rom, is it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I have the same issue with 6.2.23110 -- black screen (except for top/bottom bars) if trying to Send Message from Contact. I don't usually send Texts this way, so I don't know if it's new with this release -- but it's definitely there for me.

I remember something posted a few days ago...must be on this thead...like, "it works once you send/receive text to that contact" -- something like that.

And I haven't installed any kind of messaging cab.

I'm still doing Memory Usage research ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
lol, yeah, i posted this :D

thought he tried it already...:

you need to have received al least one message to get manila messaging working.

u can also send yourself one. That should do the trick.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Look, don't even start with me. I had to deal with the same BS in the other ROM forums: Do your damn homework before you come blaming me as if I'm some newbie to installing & using ROMs.

And no, I didn't install jack squat for messaging. This function is not working in the current ROM, so I'm simply informing agent. If cheerleading from the sidelines is what you're into, check into the NRG ROM thread.

Thanks for confirming this! I do use this function quite a bit as ultimately, two taps (contact -> send message) are much quicker to send a message than to scroll through your messages and click reply.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
No, this doesn't fix it, and I'm sure agent or MCbrian can confirm this quick test. I've been using SMS/MMS all yesterday, both sending & receiving. There is still the black screen.

**UPDATE**: OK Speadge, here is actual method to fix this issue:

1) Receive a message.

2) Tap on the message directly from Sense Messaging tab. (You MUST do this... simply receiving a message will not fix the issue.)

3) HTC messaging tool will load.

4) After that, it works as expected.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] qinstaller:
Well I DLed the latest TR version. and Google maps and weather still not working properly. I don't think its the ROM. cause I went and tried the latest NRG rom and I'm getting the same problem. Google maps will work with GPS fine and it works with WiFi enabled. Weather will work with WiFi but nothing else. I used task29 to clean the phone before installing both ROM's and I am currently using .91 radio Ohh and even with the minor issues I have come back to Agents ROM. NRG had alot of bugs and I didn't like the look.

So to recap no programs are installed other than KB fix for tilt2. yes on setup screen I enabled Google location and in settings made sure AGPS was enabled also. what other things should I try to mess with to fix this problem. or are there settings that I can poke around in to se if there is a switch that needs flipped.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Memory Usage

So, I did go back to 25007TR2.5 for my little memory-usage experiment -- to see why/if memory usage (program-memory) -- especially gwes.exe -- creeps up more and faster on 6.2.23110.

Result: gwes.exe in 23110TR2.5 does start with more memory grabbed and grows more/faster than it does in 25007TR2.5.

If interested, see screenshots below running 25007TR2.5 and compare to similar screenshots running 23110TR2.5 on Post #6459 Both versions have the same apps/everything installed.

25007TR2.5 Immediately after soft-reset:

View attachment 300386 - View attachment 300387

After an hour+ of heavy use:

View attachment 300388 - View attachment 300389

So, even as total Program Memory in use creeps up some, gwes.exe doesn't. Why is it well-behaved on 25007 and not on 23110?

I think I'll do the same experiment on 25009TR2.5.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
...:rolleyes:

no comment... except

... u just proofed u ARE

This issue is known since sense/manila 2.5 is cooked into custom roms and the fix can be found in EVERY ROM-Thread (often more than once,guess why...).

... and yeah.. shame on me that i expected u are using the sense messaging tab for opening / reading sms (as this is what it is made for) and dindt tell you to open a text THIS way.

(wonderig about handy alternatives :confused:)

So dont tell me smth bout

and try the "search" button!

Thanks.

Alright, not to sound like a broken record. Alright, not to sound like a broken record, but my keyboard is screwed up, using the Tilt 2, with the Tilt 2 keyboard fix. I'm gonna hafta jump ship if I can't get this fixed, because I got the Tilt 2 for the hardware keyboard.

What can I do to fix this? Has anyone else had this problem with this or any other ROM? The only two programs I installed was dutty's x9 remover, and Morphgear (had to use dutty's x9 remover to be able to use Morphgear with my keyboard). For a few hours after install of those two cabs, everything worked fine, then out of nowhere, everything got mucked up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Speadge:
sry, cant help ya (at last cause i dont understand ur post and ur problem), but this post is funny ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
If you didn't install those two programs, does the the keyboard go bad? Or have you tried that? Seems like it would be worthwhile to do that experiment, though you might have to do a hard-reset to do it right.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mrbox23:
Can someone please link me to the most currunt version of this rom? i searched and am getting confusing results. thanks............
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Which is exactly why I mentioned from the get-go "I'm coming from 2.1 ROMS" and "if these bugs have been mentioned before, my apologies agent." Get a grip on reality: Agent doesn't need you babysitting this thread. I had a legitimate question, and instead of helping, you decided to make absolutely useless comments.

I decided to try out this thread & agent's ROMs because everyone on here seemed want to discuss it rather than make useless comments. Clearly, you don't fit this category.

PS: Your "fix" wasn't the actual fix anyways. So, searching your solution wouldn't have helped a damn bit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
That definitely looks to be more of what I'm used to... starting around 23MB and fluctuating between 23 ~ 30+ depending on the uptime and usage.

Post #2 of this thread has the latest versions, the 6.2 series -- in 6 versions: Two different WM6.5.5 (25009 & 23110) and one WM6.5 (21897) -- each of those in a "Leo" (with Documents & Footprints Sense tabs) and "TR2.5" (without those two sense tabs).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Any feedback on 25009 vs 25007 yet? I think I'll be flashing to one of those tonight. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
They're both very good, IMHO. Some people didn't like the lockscreen, which is the same on both, now discarded in 23110...

On 25007TR2.5 it is essential to install the "fix" next to the link on Post #2.

On 25009TR2.5 there's some weirdness with the filename for Opera -- see the posts of that era for details, including how I fixed it.

Those are the only issues I had. Both were great for me...and I only switched to 23110 'cause that's what I do. :p

Radio 4.49.25.77

MCbrian, the .77 radio by itself greatly improved GPS satellite locating. I am now able to locate in just a few minutes, sometimes seconds!! Thanks again for turning me on to this radio.

Also, I was not familiar with HTC GPS Tool. I use "QuickGPS" regularly, but this sounds like something else. I will download and give it a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
HTC GPS Tool + AGPS is a must. Once you have that powerful combo, QuickGPS is actually not even necessary.

Wow, gwes.exe for 25009 booted up at 22 MB! Sticking with this ROM for sure. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrip777:
Do you mean the top taskbar or the bottmom with softkeys? Either way Im pretty sure that you cant just remove as it is cooked in. But I always HEAVILY customize my device as far as a "cosmetic" customization and your best bet is to download a .cab for a custom taskbar of your choice which there are tons to choose from. Is this what you are talking about?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Axiixa:
I have an issue also, somewhat different, but the "Send Message" does not work as it has in the past. I dropped back to 25009. I'm sure Agent_47 will figure it out.

Here is my issue: On the People Tab - when I want to create a new favorite I tap an empty favorite tab. It takes me to my contact list where I use the search box to get a short list of the of contacts that match the sequence of letters entered. I select the one I want and the picture will be correctly entered in the tab. Now, to send an SMS I tap the name under the picture on the tab I just created and I correctly get the detail page. But when I further select the "Send Message" action it returns the short list of contacts found/listed above - not the SMS utility!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I don't understand it exactly...but it depends on which Taskmanager you're using whether gwes.exe appears as <5MB or >20MB. I'm sure this has been covered somewhere on the forums 'cause I remember people posting about this weird discrepancy 6 months ago. But I don't remember what the actual explanation is.
