alright! i can't resist the temptation...

this is my first post in this thread after following the first post updates by JJ over the past couple of months, to get a feel for "whats cooking" :D

because the weekend has started, i am going to try out the updated 23518 build (downloading while i type this). just a few questions:

1. i understand this is a wm6.5.x build...correct? so this build will have the thinner top bar and the big buttons on the bottom bar...correct?

2. i went through the build log in the first post. with arkswitch included, how come the following line is showing up in the build log?

4_e-Natives Technology ShowcaseSuite-1.1.0(QVGA)

i use showcase currently on the pdacorner ultimate x2.v8 ROM i'm currently using but just wondering if showcase has been correctly and completely removed from this ROM

3. i understand the manila2d is the latest one...correct? the one with the weather on the main page and the one that is compatible with the wm6.5.x layout (aware of the thin top bar and fat bottom bar)?

4. there is this entry in the FAQ:

is this applicable to the updated 23518 i'm currently downloading? i prefer the following behavior:

a. when in today screen, battery appears in the top bar

b. when an application is in the foreground, time appears in the top bar

5. i understand opera mobile is NOT included...correct? if so, thats great! i like to keep updating opera mobile as new versions arrive so it would be nice if it was not part of the ROM

6. is pimbackup included?

7. some screenshots would be nice!

in the past, i've used 5 or 6 Hyperdragon ROMs, 3 TPC ROMs, and 3 PDACorner ROMs...this will be the first JJ ROM as well as the first wm6.5.x ROM for me!

may i suggest including the attached useful utility in your next ROM?

thanks, i'd appreciate some replies to my queries, wish me luck! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] destroyer67:
I just flashed upd 23518 and the program tab is missing from manila.

Also, the main tab doesn't show the weather background.

Anyone else have the same problems?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
No problems here, weather is showing just fine behind Main Tab, and Program Tab is there. I JUST flashed the latest also. Did you flash OEM First?

PS: Looks awesome as usual! Thanks JJ
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
Removed due to my error. Please see my post three down...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] destroyer67:
Thank you SS, flashing OEM now then if still a problem - I'll re-download.

What radio do you use, since I'm also in norcal?

TIA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
I flashed "RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship", then JJ's latest, then Radio 1.71.09.01. Although, this is the first time I've flashed this radio, so I'm not sure of it's performance yet. Same signal bars as far as I can tell. Haven't tried GPS yet.

EDIT: Please note the following Post! Oops, sorry...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
Hey guys. I apologize, it appears that I've downloaded the previous version. When I tried the download link, it did not work, so I went to the text links. They seem to be pointing to the previous NON 6.5 NK version. Please disregard my past couple messages.

EDIT: Link is working again, so Downloading Now. I'm REALLY Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] destroyer67:
SS, if you didn't get ArkSwitch - maybe you downloaded the older version.

Did you use this link to the download page?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
Now that I've flashed the REAL one, I can confirm your previous findings. No Programs Tab, and No weather image behind Main Tab. Sorry about before...

I believe JJ mentioned a Theme Change. That would explain these.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ASCIIker:
initial feedback

i've just installed the new updated 23518 as my first JJ ROM :D

so far so good! it looks great...wm6.5.x is really really very nice!

now for some feedback:

1. reminder: do consider including the utility i attached in my previous post in this thread.

2. i can confirm the issues others are reporting: no weather updates on the main home screen on m2d and no programs tab in m2d.

3. i suggest keeping power save for SD card DISABLED by default because that setting has been associated with data loss in many discussion threads in the general kaiser forum.

4. the dialer has issues in landscape but i think this is a known issue.

5. the backlight keeps dimming after 30 seconds even though i have DISABLED backlight dimming altogether!

6. please consider including "CHobit Smartlock" in the next ROM

7. i have disabled HTC Menu Enhancement because i prefer the default wm6.5.x menus. i've found that there is a graphics "corruption" in the top and bottom arrows. these top and bottom arrows appear in menus that have more items than can fit in the screen.

8. i have used several other ROMs that have included AE Button Plus but none of them gave the "splash screen" on start up like this ROM does. any way to remove the AE Button splash screen (apart from buying/registering it)?

9. i suggest replacing the calculator application with a better one, such as the one included in PDACorner's Ultimate x2.v8. the one i'm talking about fits better with the theme and also has scientific mode in landscape :)

all in all, the ROM is very good and gives a pleasant taste of wm6.5.x...good work JJ!

i hope my suggestions can help make the ROM the "perfect ROM" like you desire in your opening post! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dcarr622:
Just flashed updated 23518, and it's working very well, no issues I can see yet. It seems snappier in the menus and smoother scrolling with the native kernal, and I like the new M2D theme and task manager.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slobba:
Multiupload not working for me and text files links to old versions. Can someone post link to the new ROM?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] dcarr622:
Link to browser on Internet tab is not working--I don't really want it to launch IE anyway, so I will try the reg edit to make it launch opera.

I actually prefer not having the Programs tab-it's pointless as it duplicates the much better WinMo 6.5 start menu.

Edit: reg edit and reset didn't fix it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] undac:
Apart from a really screwed up setup after flashing (calibration screen turned white, button plus splash screen came up during setting the date, took for ever to load etc) everything seems to be up and running just fine.

As others have mentioned the browser in the browser tab doesn't work, nor does "adding" it back through the registry (for me at least).

Hopefully this is fixable via a cab or something, reflashing seems excessive? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SuperSport:
If you install M2DC, you can add back the Programs Tab, and Set IE or Opera or Skyfire as your Default M2D Browser. I've just tried. I also removed Tabs I don't personally use. ie: Contacts, Music, Settings.

I don't know how much of M2DC will work on 6.5.3, or if it can screw things up, but I can confirm those two things worked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] liquid307:
Mr. JJBlaster is the man

I really appreciate all the work you put in to your roms and thank you. I'm really loving the new 6.5 kernell & arkSwitch. Issues like others, missing programs tab, browser tab doesn't work and alarm is not working. Thanks again:):rolleyes::p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xcom923:
music tab

is there a way I can change the music tab to work with windows media player (wmp) instead of the audio manager?? I've had other ROMs that used wmp in the past and I do a lot of syncing between my computer and my kaiser so my music/podcast keep changing. Every other program takes up to much time trying to scan my device to find my audio files (the reason I just want to use wmp)

-ok replaced the txt on the 1st post with the updated links (sry about that)

-as for program tab, i disabled it purposely coz i never found the use for it but since u guys like it so much ill add it back.

-like i said, this is a test version as i made some major changes (this required me to replace all my mega ext packages meaning losing some customizations that i made within them) and i have tried restoring everything as it was before but as u have noticed i forgot about the launcher tab where i should have set it to open IE (since opera is not included)

-as for those who say alarm isnt working, i jus tested it out and it works well... Remember to set the sound, set the day & time properly (am/pm factor) and not forgetting to actually check the enable button :p

@ASCIIker --- looks like ur new to 6.5.x, better do a bit of research... I'l also look into the attachment

and i just tested, backlight does remain on when u set it to

and by the way, the build log was not updated, so yes showcase was completely removed.

oh by the way, those who were askin about full screen weather background on homescreen tab, if u want it u need to install the theme yourself...

i removed it coz if some1 wanted to install a different theme in my previous rom the background weather images would screw it up.

last thing, looks like AE button plus has alot of new features so i'll make sure its updated on the next release
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] slobba:
Thanks Phil_123 and JJ.

ok launcher tab fix to launch IE

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget]
"WebBrowserType"=dword:00000002

when the option is set to 00000001 it will not launch IE but rather the path set to opera mobile(which is not included)

CAB install not working ?

Is it just me (using a JJblaster ROM for the first time coming from the great V4.2 Shifu) but when I click on a CAB file in my documents (both in Explorer and in Full Commander) it opens the dialog for setting the Appearence of the home screen (and name of cab is in list of themes ) ... but not starting the CAB for install at all.

How do I install cabs in this ROM ?

Thanks for help

Freecall
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Iced Coffee:
Great ROM. This is the first ROM I can have the weather updated on the Home page of M2D :) Everything works fine for me. Thanks JJ.

One thing I found from many of your ROMs which is a bit annoying for me is that I found so many different Task Managers in this ROM: One Task Manager and one TaskMgr in Tools. I guess the Task Manger only is enough.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tugas2khas:
one TaskMgr is a task manager only... the other one has more functions; i use regedit function each time i flash new rom to import all my reg entries... and for actual task manager... i use QuickMenu!...

still didnt flash this new rom though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ASCIIker:
thanks for replying jj! you're right, i am new to wm6.5.3 but i always do my research! anyway, i'm going to go ahead and answer some of my own questions and also give some more feedback after completely setting up my device as i like it and after almost 24 hours of use.

do check it out, its a great little tool that lets you map any network drive onto the \Network folder of your device. great for browsing files shared on a network and copy/pasting stuff to and from those shared folders.

i understand the reasons for removing the weather background pictures...theres plenty of skins available that will enable the weather backgrounds. also, i have used M2DC to enable/disable the tabs to my liking. i can confirm that M2DC works just fine for tab management, softkey assignments, setting the browser, and managing the look and feel of the programs launcher.

i strongly urge this suggestion once again.

i'm gonna try some more dialers if i feel the landscape issue bugs me too much, which it doesn't so far :D

its working as expected now. i've found that i had to enable all the dimming and power off options and CHANGE their timeouts...then i did a soft reset, and then i set the timeouts to my liking, and then i disabled the dimming and power off options i didn't want, then one more soft reset, and now all good :D

this is also a good utility and i can confirm its working fine on this ROM.

i used the packages in this amazing thread to totally manage the way wm6.5.3 looks and feels (top bar styles, bottom bar styles, bottom button styles, menu styles, selection bar styles, etc, etc)...highly recommended, perhaps a FAQ entry?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578468

still no joy removing the splash screen...i don't use AE Button Plus but its burned into the ROM so i guess i'll have to live with it...?

once again, better calculator strongly urged!

and now some more findings:

1. free memory for running programs is a bit on the low side on fresh boot...about 40MB available out of 101MB...might want to look into that!

2. short press of the End Key button normally works in m2d to jump straight back to the home tab...this shortcut isn't working in this ROM

3. i can't seem to locate GPSTest in this ROM...is it included? if not, its a useful tool to have out of the box, so thats another suggested app to include!

4. i am using HardSPL 3.34 with Radio 1.65.24.36 and located in Pakistan. i found this combination seems to give reasonable battery life in all the wm6.5.x ROMs i've tried so far. i tried Radio 1.71.09.01 but that sucked battery so fast i could almost see the battery percentage falling. admittedly, i did not try it with the suggested SPL 3.56, but my reading suggests that SPL 3.56 is better suited for Tilts while i have a Kaiser...anyway, i'm open for more suggestions about good SPL and Radio combos in my location.

5. i've gone through the thread of ArkSwitch. i feel its a bit rough currently but very promising, can't wait for a final release of ArkSwitch.

and on that note, can't wait for the next polished release from JJ!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Iced Coffee:
Yes, but I think the one with the reg edit is enough, no need to have any other.

By the way I have a few other issues relating mostly with the Google Map. I used Google Map frequently and with this ROM I have a problem with Google Map locating where I am. Though I have QuickGPS updated already, GM is locating me to different countries, and now in India (though I am in Vietnam). Pls see a screenshot attached.

And I am aware that the weather from the M2D Home is using Google Map, it located me to the wrong place also, so the weather there is different from the Weather page of M2D, where I chose the location myself.

I hope this is corrected on the final version, JJ. Thanks.

This is quite probably a radio issue. Yes they affect the headset too. Have you tried flashing the recommended radios from the FAQ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lohtse:
Great rom..Thank you for all your hard work etc.BUT yes am sorry there's a but!

I had to reflash to original rom I was using(shifu) as for me the rom was SOOoooooo slow.... I don't understand why at all... Have used several roms so am aware of whats advised to do (flash to stock rom then to cooked rom etc) and as such I always do this... But it took quite a few attempts to just get the rom to boot. had flashed and reflashed god knows how many times before it worked. Just kept getting to calibration screen then screen went white and nothing else would happen just hang there till reset. Reflash etc blah blah blah... But like I said in the end it worked but was just so slow(even before reinstalling/applying a backup) and at times unresponsive. Anyway hope there's an updated release soon...

regards

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jjblaster3:
maybe this release wasnt made for u :P... anyways i hope the next update wont be an issue.

@Iced Coffee - maybe there was a signal problem of some sort... anyways ill look into the google maps package n check if everythin's ok.

@ASCIIker - thanks for the feedback... will consider all ur recommendations upon the next update

@freecall - are u sure u didnt click on a theme thinkin of it to be a cab? if yes then try flashin to a stock rom and then re-flash my rom to check it out.

as for explainin abt the rom containing 2 taskmanagers, tugas2khas explained it properly... and i mentioned it before that the stock ms taskmanager (the one not concerned with regs is contained in the sys and never took the time to hunt down its dependencies coz it would be a pain in the a** :p

i could jus delete the shortcut but well an extra taskmanager cant hurt anyone ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mjmeaux:
jj, I am using first version of 23518 (pardon failure to update signature), preferring to wait for final update. First time poster because of the quality of threads such as yours and TPC. I've never had a question that I could not find an answer. Thanks.

As for the Google issue posed by Iced Coffee, I am not sure this is relevant but it might narrow your troubleshooting efforts. I decided to disable location services hoping to preserve a little battery. I had resigned myself to using CDMA Weather updater for the Home Screen. Then I noticed Google maps which was reporting location temporarily unavailable had started working again. Unloaded the CDMA updater and now Manilla home screen works. After playing with combinations of the location settings options, I found that the conflict appears to be with the option within the Location Settings for "Improve locations service by collecting location data at any time when device is in use". Turn that off, leave the "HTC location service" checked. Uncheck "Automatically Decline location service..." Only thing I can conclude is that there must be some sort of conflict with these settings and the Google location service for maps and the Home screen weather somehow. I hope this does not send you down a dead end. Thanks again for all of your work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kb9nvh:
JJB, your ROM kicks butt!! 25518 worked nearly flawlessly for me and battery use with the emo radio was really good.

Had been using TPC's last rom for a month or two and not liking the laggin.

You beta version ate my battery overnight with the included radio....just put in emo...we will see how it goes.

Always install OEM rom first, (have learned my lesson). Hope I can get the best of the last version and the best of your newest beta to live together.

Some ideas, questions and credit

Hi, I'm using your v1 21887 ROM. I must admit, this ROM this truly awesome. It looks good and feels good. I tried your update 23518 first, but this one seemed at bit slow when using the Start menu. But more important, version 21887 could be translated into Dutch.

If you don't mind I'd like to give you some minor ideas of mine.

Perhaps you could include a programme with which you can edit the Windows Mobile registry, such as "PHM Registry Editor"?

And perhaps it would be handy if you'd shorten the hyperlink names of the "htcaddicts" programme CleanRAM. Because of the name "htcaddicts" in the name of the hyperlink, you can't see which programme it is. Perhaps you could just delete the word "htcaddicts" in the hyperlinks? It doesn't solve the readability, completely, but at least you would be able to see it is CleanRAM.

I haven't checked whether this is still the case in version 23518, but in version 21887 there is a link called "Touch Option" (in Start | Settings | System). It doesn't do anything but showing a blank screen. Perhaps, a loose end?

Further, how can I disable the vibrate touch when typing words? You mentioned earlier, one should take a look at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4030903&postcount=3. However, I do not believe this page holds the answer. I searched my entire registry and could not find any registry value that matches the registry values as mentioned on that page. Could you tell us which registry value one should alter? I'd really like to get rid of the vibrating. I'd like my phone to be silent when typing words or numbers. Thanx!

Last, but not least, I'm really looking forward to your next final version. Since, version 23518 may not be as fast as 21887 but is really beautiful!

Also, I'd like to give you some credit for speeding up the scrolling speed when scrolling the text messages in version 23518. In 21887 the scrolling is rather slow. Perhaps, intentially? If so, how would one be able to speed it up?

Kind regards! :D
