agent_47 sighting today:

Maybe I should say, his tracks have been observed, not a direct sighting.

Still no posts since 22 Sept.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Let's hope he's still waiting for the final release of CHT2.0. Co0kieMonster had to pause development for a while because of personal matters, so the ETA was pushed back a month.

agent_47 may be stalking Co0kie!:eek:

Hi guys

I would try some other rom,but i have a grate quality of volume on my device with this rom that i would,t like to lose it,some body knows which utility he is using for his rom ? thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Alright agent, CHT2.0 Final is out!;)

I hope you get back to cooking ROMs for us!:)

Now I´m shure, that al-Qaida has kidnapped him: look at the date of his ROM release.11th September !!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] swtaltima:
This is like a bad romance lol

I would like to start by saying that I have used agents roms for a very long time in fact I would rarely flash another rom however I think it may be time to let go and move on. I guess what Im saying is that if he has indeed vanished off the face of the earth whereas before he was releasing roms all the time, has anyone considered he has maybe had a death in the family or something like that? Or possibly he just got over being a chef. Either way keeping this thread alive months after his last post seems a bit like talking about an ex girlfriend long after the relationships over. Additionally people are more likely to come to you if you just forget about them and move on. I practice this in my own life and let me tell you it works with everything from clients to girlfriends to bosses and the list goes on and on.

I do not really contribute here much other than helping a few people with tips every now and again so please dont take this the wrong way but as someone who definitely hopes to see our boy agent again, I think our chances are better if we can stop speculating not to mention following the mans every step on here lol and just wait and see if he returns. Afterall the guy already knows that his roms are the sh_t so if he is to return Im sure he will.

In conclusion, I love xda and really owe every bit of knowledge I have on pocket pc's to this forum so once again please take my comments as you would from a friend not an enemy.

On a side note I hope everyone has a safe and awesome holiday season!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Actually, agent_47 was gone/missing even longer this summer -- and then he posted new ROMs.

Also, I think it's best to let people keep it alive if they want to, rather than tell them what you think they should do. If you don't want to see pleas for agent's return then don't read this thread -- problem solved. :D

(It's your business, not mine, but...I think your girlfriend would like you more if you paid attention to her rather than ignore her. :rolleyes:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] swtaltima:
First off I spoke of ex girlfriends not existing and believe me I have never had a problem keeping any lady of mine sprung for as long as I want them to be. Secondly I was referring to giving people a bit of space which does usually result in them coming to you (but of course for those who like to be stalkers ;) more power to you) j/k.

I do of course want to see more releases from him and I do see your point in keeping it alive in a way as I did not know he had disappeared like this before and then returned so that was good to know. Additionally my comment was meant more as a strategy than telling people what to do. I have been in sales for most of my life and have been pretty dang effective in my approach most times so I guess seeing as how agent hasn't responded to current strategies I figured a new approach couldn't hurt.

Please help

Really your solution did resolve the arabic language issues in manilla and anything else, but opera and you tube, yes the language appeared in both but not in a proper way

example: "good rom" it will be written "mor doog" in opera browser but in arabic language, I just translated it in enlgish for you to get my problem.

Can i know what is the problem there??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Alcibiade:
Been toying in a shop with a few phones (Actually considering going for a Galaxy Tab, but still a bit unresolved given the size of the beast... At least to use as my main phone)

It's been a disappointing experience. I was finally considering that maybe on-screen keyboards were fine given how many people seem to enjoy them. Yeah, no way... I tried, I understand that with some training you get good at bit but... probably not for me

And then playing with Android phones, WP7 phones... Ok they kind of look nice... But honestly nothing that makes me feel like switching from my TP2 with VAlkyrie ROM... I just love too much Manilla with Cookie... Unbeatable in functionalities, and looks great. My TP2 is overclocked at 787 Mhz, which makes it super smooth...

Only thing is the phone could be a bit slimmer, that makes the desire Z.... desirable :)

If one of the phone maker could come with a 4.3" phone with a keyboard then year I'd probably be ready to change... Unfortunately so far keyboard = smaller screen

I may still let myself tempted by a Galaxy Tab... (No physical keyboard but the screen s so big anyway...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I, too, don't think I can live without a hardware keyboard...but I do think I could live without WM6.5...so I've been considering/planning a move to Android. I've just gotten tired of apps that don't exist for WM6.5 and probably never will (and to a lesser extent, well-known WM memory leaks -- which I can live with, but would rather not).

I almost bought a T-Mo G2 (same as Desire-Z, but without Sense) a couple of months ago, but held off due to the too-loose hinge issue, which I experienced myself handling a G2 in a T-Mo store. But...I'll probably get a G2 soon anyway...unless a superior hardware-keyboard Android shows on T-Mo's horizon soon. If I hold off well into next year, who knows: MS says that WP7 will soon have updates (like copy-paste) that make it suck less, so if T-Mo comes out with a WP7 keyboard phone...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Alcibiade:
Yes the only reason why I will walk away from WM 6.5 is the fact we have no updates in apps... I do really think WM 6.5 + sense works perfectly for me, but I miss all the recent upgrades in Skype, Google Maps, etc...

If ever HTC could come with a 4.3" keyboard phone I 'd be sold to it. But they probably never will. They always kept their keyboard phones' screens smaller

The G2 is definitely tempting, but yeah I don't want go for the loose hinge... And again I think the screen could be bigger...

As far as Android is concerned... honestly I was a bit disappointed when playing with it... And what holds me off a bit is the less than perfect Activesync integration. I use extensively push & outlook and I love the WM flexibility and perfect integration. Android wont be as smooth... And that's the only thing that made me consider WP7. However the completely closed nature of WP7 will keep me away from it. I staid away from the iPhone for this reason (and the lack of physical keyboard), there is no way I'll jump on WP7 if it is similarly closed

I'll probably buy a Galaxy Tab... But feel like my main device is likely to remain my TP2 (And that sucks !!!)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] slapshot30:
Have you guys heard of the Samsung Epic? Beautiful 4.3" screen WITH a keyboard. Veryy slim. Android OS. A lot of development going into these new Galaxy phones. My friend has an Epic and it is pretty sweet. I would highly suggest looking into that phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Yeah, I have noticed the Epic (on Engadget, not in person), and it does look like just what I'd want...except that it would cost me an extra $200 to get one 'cause I'd have to leave T-Mobile and switch to Sprint. My 2-year contract expires in Aug-2011.

But maybe I should consider looking outside my current-contract-carrier despite the ETF...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] slapshot30:
I would definitely look into it. At least go into a store that has it and play around with it. I'm sure you'd love it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Alcibiade:
You're right. The only problem is I travel frequently to Europe and Japan, so I cant really go for Sprint... I need GSM (AT&T TP2 is just the perfect phone for the bands it covers...)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Alcibiade:
Just got a Galaxy tab. But definitely my TP2 (or some other sort of keyboard phone) will probably survive this purchase :)

Btw I think Sense is better thought, better designed, than Samsung's interface (which has been annoying me so far)

agent_47 to Android?

I wonder if he's going to develop ROMs for Android or if he's just browsing as an Android user?

He got himself an HTC Desire Z?!:eek:

Don't know...but I caught him online a couple of times, and those times he was looking at Android dev boards.

iam having trouble downloading the new 7.4 roms, cant access any of them from the first post links, any mirrors?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Those links broke when agent_47 re-uploaded new versions...many months ago.

Find the files on the

Then burrow down to /roms/valkyrie/rhodium/firestormLEO/v7.4/

Thanks, didnt know that this is my first time flashing a Leo Rom. Any suggestions?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
If you're asking for a specific Valky rom suggestion, I like the one in my signature:

7.4.23135-FX

Why this one? The difference between FX and GTX is appearance (GTX is white-ish). As for the other differences between base-roms...I don't remember exactly -- it's been so long. :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
TP2 --> G2

Hey any old Valky-ROM Fans still within range of this thread -- FYI:

I got a T-Mobile G2 yesterday (T-Mobile offered it for FREE this week on 2-year contract), so the Touch Pro2 will no longer be my primary device. I'm keeping it around, though.

I haven't yet educated myself on the how-to of rooting Android devices and installing custom Android ROMs...so I'm still one of those "stock ROM" users -- an Android noob, really :o. Not for long, I hope.

See you around. :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] k3y.m8ney:
I jus got an T-Mobile G2, its pretty dope. Although I miss the five row keyboard on my touch pro 2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bilal khan:
can somebody tell me why touch of my touch pro2 is so hard ,,,,,,,,,,,i have to push the screen more to do things
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sumflipnol:
You need to use more pressure on the TP2's screen, compared to other new devices' screens, because of the "old" technology of the resistive screen.

Resistive screens use pressure sensors that can respond to any object (hands, pens, etc.), as long as enough pressure is applied on the screen/digitizer.

Capacitive screens (found on most new gadgets -- Android devices, i-Products, tablets) use sensors that respond to electric conductivity. Because of this new type of sensor, you don't need to use pressure, but you have to use objects that emit some electricity (for example, our skin or some special capacitive stylus), in order for the screen/digitizer to respond.

EDIT: Now, I'm curious. How are you able to post in the development forum with your post count (currently at 1), even after the enactment of the new 10-post-minimum rule, which seems to have affected all users, regardless of their "join date?":confused:

Can a mod answer this? I just got confused with this situation!:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Back to TP2 and Valky...for now.

FYI: I'm back on the TP2 -- returned the G2 to T-Mobile within the 14-day grace period.

For me, the G2 keyboard was such a downgrade from the TP2 -- mostly because of the lack of arrow-cursor-control keys (as well as the lack of dedicated number keys) -- that I found myself mainly using the on-screen keyboard. I decided that there's no reason to carry the bulk of a hardware keyboard if I'm not going to use it.

So, now, back with the mostly-inferior (except for the fantastic keyboard) but still quite serviceable TP2, I'm waiting for T-MoUSA to release an Android dual-core superphone (one that has no fatally-annoying downsides) for which I'll use my upgrade.

And, of course, I'm still on the same old, good-old -- Valky 7.4.23135-FX ROM. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] k3y.m8ney:

thx!!!

others i want to know the free ram of rom when the os ran.

thx!!!!!

:D:D:D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
What's the size of the file you downloaded -- it should be ~122MB. Did you download from here, on the Valkyrie File Browser:

tp2_firestorm_v7.4.21916-FX.7z

(that is, use the direct source of Valkyrie File Browser -- the links on Post#2 are broken)

If that's where you got it, are you aware that this isn't actually a Zip file, that it's a 7z file, and you need

7Zip

(or similar application) to uncompress it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cyhjrx@yahoo.com:
yes.

i'll try to download it again.

i use the 7zip to unzip it.but an error is shown.

it's size is right and is about 122m.

i download it useing firox.ie and thunder(a china software).

it's size is same.

can you tell me the rom's free ram when os start.

i use jackos rom (s3 1.0.2),it's free ram is about 134m when os start.

i just wish to try 21916 rom.

hehehehehehe
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
First of all: Be aware that

agent_47

, the Cook of this series, hasn't posted anything on XDA since September 2010...so don't expect any answer or action from him on this.

I haven't downloaded that ROM myself, so I don't know if the file is corrupt. And since I'm using a different ROM (23135-FX, shown in my signature) I don't know how much RAM is free on 21916.

I can tell you that on 7.4.23135-FX, 68MB of "Program Memory", i.e. "RAM", are free on my TP2 on reboot. Of course, some of that depends on how I have mine set up, with Co0kie Home Tab, etc...and since the ROM you're interested is based on a different build of Windows Mobile the free RAM could be quite different.

Good luck :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
OK...because I'm such a nice guy :cool: ...in order to answer your question I downloaded the 21916 ROM just now, and -- yes -- I couldn't open it either. :eek:

Don't know what to tell you...except that I think the 23135 is a superior ROM -- for what I like in ROMs, anyway.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
agent_47 doesn't live here anymore...so I'll try to answer.

Are you familiar with the process of how to flash a custom ROM? If not, then read the first post of this thread very carefully and carefully follow those directions:

"

Flashing your first GSM Rhodium Rom

"

So, you don't need to upgrade to 6.5 first, but you do need to do the Hard SPL procedure first.

Be aware that by doing this you are invalidating your warranty...in a way that may not be completely reversible/hide-able. But it's worth it to me and many others.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] chichoko:
Dropped by to say a big THANKS to you Agent! I was a regular flash-aholic back when my X1 was my primary phone, but I've moved to my beloved Desire and never looked back... till now :) Im going to perform one last memorable flash of your latest Sept-11 ROM on my X1 because quite frankly I still use it as my secondary all-around phone :D Thanks a lot for all your hard work for when the X1 had one of the best development threads in the WinMo 6.5 universe...
