You mean you're trying to do this from the PC with TP2 connected?

You might try doing the copy directly on the TP2 using Total Commander (or other "file explorer"), after copying the htc menu file (unzipped) to your storage card.

Typing an entry on the hardware keyboard seems very slow, too. I've seen that posted on the Opera thread, but then saw something about the final final release doesn't have that lag. But sure seems to still for me -- from the hardware keyboard...haven't tried it with Swype. Maybe I/we don't have the very-latest final release?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Swype is even slower than the hardware keyboard... that's how painful it is. Yeah, I'll try reinstalling Opera 10 over the weekend, but I'm not hopeful.

BTW, for anyone that cares, new MS Voice Command version 1.6.23554 posted in NRG ROM thread, but here's the direct dl:

OK, I installed one of those modified Opera, and it does type better -- on the hw-keyboard anyway. I'm typing/posting this from Opera on my TP2. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mahagon Coral:
Glad to help ;)

software input is also faster - dont know about swype though ...

in case this fix did not make it in the new rom, I could upload the needed exetutables for the windows folder ... so you dont have to have opera installed twice ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
+10000... Holy ****, I can actually post on xda now with opera! Swype & hw keyboard actually work... BIG thanks!

Update: FB issue fixed. Looks like "Update now" for all linked FB contacts fails because it was auto-linked after syncing through Activesync. So, the way to fix is to unlink all FB links and relink through the "Updates & Events" page. Afterwards, the "update automatically" function works as it should. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] clauswl:
Hands down, 28232 is way faster than 25009. It takes 25009 9-10 sec to open pim manager andabout 17 sec to back up my pers. data.

28232 took about 4-5 sec to open pim mnager and about 5 sec to back up my pers. data.

I applied the 3d enhancements, and there might be a little difference after applying the htc speedbooster (temp. oc)

Memory management is close to the same (about 77mb free at boot, 58% with all my junk installed ie max manila, etc.)

The only thing missing is the prettyer icons (folders).

HTC menu fix

Thks for the tip.

took me a while as the menu in filecommander was scrambled.

No seems to work fine. Only the battery life seems extremly short Ver2510

and radio 4.49.25.91:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] maxima00se:
so I might not have searched well, but I know the menu fix is on the front page and it's a zip file. I know it's .png file when unzipped, but I am not sure where to unzip it to. The menus are killing me on this and if I don't figure the fix to this, I will just go to the previous build...which is the best built I have ever used :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
ill have it in :)

12646 is htc builds wm6.5.x

some of the services donot take much ram....so i don see a point really :p

in the windows folder
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Gonna be uploading this soon?? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
You're absolutely right in that individually, some of theses services seem insignificant in memory usage, especially if you only consider bootup "free memory." However, what I've found are:

1) Bootup free mem before removing "useless" services: 67~69 mb. After removing: ~75.

2) Running "useless" services, free mem after a few days of uptime/use: 35 ~ 40 mb. With "useless" services removed, free mem stays around 50 ~ 55.

So, what I'm finding is: While the difference in bootup memory is less significant, these services' memory usage balloon over time. This becomes even more critical as some apps will crash (ie Opera & Tomtom) if free memory is <40 mb.

Maybe some others can test this and provide feedback as well, but this is what I've found after cleaning up the services that launch at bootup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cmd512:
Nice find, don't care about prettier icons. I'll give 28232 a try. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] clauswl:
You will like it. :)

The whole adding and editing contacts is much faster and smoother.

P.s. I know there is a way to install the iconchanger afterwards, found some cabs (lechux), but not sure how it works. Maybe agent_47 can gibe us a cab to give us the icon changer. Also, u might be pleased that bubble breake is in this rom. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] clauswl:
Hello Agent_47, I see you're (were) online. Could you post a cab for your iconchanger for us please. I searched around and found some things, but one of them required you to change each icon seperately. Thanks again for your presistant help!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Did you see what I posted to Vonschau with a similar quesiton in Post#6846? Does this apply to you?

To hard reset, why not just turn the phone off, then hard-reset by the other method while it's off: Hold down both the Send and End keys, then

at the same time

press the Power key and the phone should give you the option to hard-reset.

yo agent you should build a rom with the gtx theme man its tight man
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Isn't the GTX theme really white-ish? If I remember correctly, agent really likes the dark colors...

I think it's a little anti-ValkyROM to have the GTX theme!:p

Hi.

I´m sorry for noob question, but i dont know how to use fix for HTC MENU.

I found original htcmenus.png in Windows folder, but it is impossible to delete, rename or overwrite it. I have tried 3 different file explorers.

Thank you for reply.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
When I replaced that file I didn't find it, I just copied the new one from my storage card (where I had copied it after unzipping the zip) to the \windows folder. I think I used Resco file explorer and got no error message.

If it's still not working for you, another option is to just not use that release (25010). FWIW, I tried it, but found the Home screen scrolling (up and down) to be noticeably laggy. Why not try 23110? Or the older but maybe-better, 25009?

- - - - - - - -

Speaking of other releases,

I see that tp2_firestorm_v6.3.21634TR2.5.7z is upping right now...Whatever was wrong with http://valkyrie.htc-files.com/ yesterday must have been fixed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
notes on this build:

- icon patched

- small fixes

- opera lag fix

- cookie removed for a traditional 4 tabber

let me know if i should do a refresh of 23111 :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
No Co0kie Home Tab you mean? Hmmm....guess I'll have to install it myself.

23111? Sure! The only problem I had with 23110 was that ram-use seemed to grow fast...but maybe that was due to the icons, so I'd like to give it another chance. 23110 was fast.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bacco:
Yes please, a refresh of 23111 would be great ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I just realized... Now I wonder if "23111" was actually a typo for 23110. I thought he meant 23111 as a close-sibling of 23110, but maybe he just meant 23110-with-icon/other-fixes...???

BTW: The new release I just downloaded and installed is called (that is, the file is called) "...6.3.21634..", but installed the i.d. according to About>Version and Device Information>Software Information says "21646". :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dbaser:
Start Menu on top or bottom? Just wondering if its 6.5.x or 6.5 based on the build number...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bacco:
If you go to System>About>Version...what do you see there? Also, is it 6.5.3 or 6.5.5? if it's .3, I'll wait till 23111 (or 23110) God willing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jlavoie:
the 216XX is HTC 6.5.3 branch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Yes, it sounds like WM6.5, but it's WM6.5.3-or-5 (can't tell which). Start-button at the bottom.

Ok, here:

View attachment 303910

On-boot (after installing everything) memory:

View attachment 303914 - View attachment 303915
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
were u able to decide which is faster between this and 23110?

im playing with 23112 atm....seems pretty good!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
Kinda hard to tell, haven't run it long, but 23110 was plenty fast.

If 23110 didn't grow/take-up memory so much (to the point that it caused Opera to exit spontaneously) it would have been fine.

I don't know if it was the big-file icons that caused the memory-grab or it was just something intrinsic to the WM-build...but I wouldn't mind trying 23110, it's successor-sibling, 23112 -- with the latest fixes/updates.

Is it a lot of extra work to have a version with/without the Co0kie Home Tab mod built in? I really

like

Co0kie Home Tab. If installing manually doesn't affect its function, that's fine, but does it work better built-in?

One other request: you removed bg4all to add speed you said...but I liked the ability to set any image as bg, rather than just the ones available via tf3d bg changer. I guess bg4all is available as a separate install, too, I suppose...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dbaser:
agent...

How do you feel about including the Facebook tab?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
So when will this recipe be served? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] agent_47:
not sure....still trying to decide if its worth

@dbaser: not too keen....i really don wana dump so many stuff in a rom that is struggling to keep up with speed (atleast it feels so when i compare with my HD2 :o)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bacco:
Agent...ditto for me too please. If the Cookie Home tab mod works better cooked in, it would be great to have it so.

Also, if you're looking to cook a 23XXX ROM soon, I'll wait for it iA.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
No...the fix for this has been posted. It's the HTC Menu download at the bottom of the Changelog on Post#2. Unzip and copy into the \windows folder.

Confirming this -- there's something wrong with with the latest upload file ("tp2_firestorm_v6.3.13112TR2.5.7z"), presumably upload stalled before complete, since as speadge said it's unusually small.

I'm looking forward to trying this new one, but guess I'll have to wait until agent_47 wakes up, logs on, and re-ups the file. ;)

You mean you unzipped the file and copied it into the \windows folder on your phone and it didn't fix the weird HTC menu issue?

Or you mean you haven't been able to copy it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sdforce:
havent been able to copy it into the windows folder. I just tried dumping it in there. It always tells me that I'm not allowed to create that file or im unable to delete the original file when i tried deleting the original file first. arg, the rom seems fast and i would love to test whether task 29 worked or not. but this is really putting a dent on the rom. :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sdforce:
Hopefully I'm not being annoying with the posts concerning the same thing. But i was thinking if i can move a few things in the registry, perhaps that would do the trick.

Now obviously, I wouldn't be able to do this free style, I would need a template for the values.

I was wondering if someone could post the values under HKLM/software/htc/htcmenus. So maybe this way, the situation can be remedied.

Anyway, its just a thought. If anyone could help me, it would be much appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MCbrian:
I don't think a registry fix will work. The file that needs to be copied into the windows folder is an image file -- a picture, replacing a wrong or messed-up image file, it's not a fix for a setting.

How are you trying to do this copying? What "file explorer" type program? Have you tried: Unzip the .zip file in your PC, then copy the file inside to your storage card, then copy the file from there to the windows folder on the phone? Have you tried this using Total Commander? If not, how?
