OK, ok. Since our machine has super limited ram, its kind of PITA to have modern apps running in our device like EzInput, TaskManager, etc which require to running in background as service which consume RAM. Just keep in mind, this machine is still not power enough for us to have full windows mobile experience (Kaiser use same processor but it runs better with more ROM & RAM). Thats why HTC only limit it to run SnapVue because they limit the RAM & functionality :mad:

We need to close other running apps to run another apps to free up ram.

Dont worry, your machine wont fried if HardSPL is there. Just flash the last known good working rom (ie:Thaihugo rom) & u will be fine.

Pls try the latest v1.03 & if you still encounter ram draining & continuous hard-reset, expect a more light rom (without EzInput, etc) soon.

Thank you.
[Shift Development] lucid:
Please checkup on the activesync with exchange part. Event though the ROM is running almost fine in the beginning, as soon as we all use ActiveSync, the device is 10x more prone to crashing.

Monx did you try and take a look at S2u2 (free slide to unlock home screen etc tool) ?

EDIT : HELP ! I can't download version 1.03 althoug I am a member and logged in to your site.

Please can you fix that ?
[Shift Development] monx®:
ok, this is my personal report.

has been running v1.03 since yesterday, setup exchange (sync email only) to 'as item arrived' & live email 'as item arrived' as well since 0830 until now 1925 (GMT+8) hrs. now replied this post from ie6. no restart, no lockup. final 6.1 almost there ;)
[Shift Development] lucid:
Ok, when it's ready Ill flash it

I'm refreshing your site like crazy :) Any estiimate on when you

will upload it ?

What will be it's version number ?

Did you include the very latest WindowsLive_0409.PPC2005 ?
[Shift Development] JaWe:
Sounds great! Now we only need to be able to download it.. Have you disabled downloads from your site? I can't see "download" link and yes I have registered and logged in.
[Shift Development] lucid:
I registered a new account and tried from another IP but the downloads are all disabled. I guess we have to observe patience.

I hard resetted thaihugo's ROM. 40MB Storage / 20MB program after configuring internet.

@ JaWe : Have you had that red connection icon stay red even internet works ?
[Shift Development] lucid:
@ Monx : Are you planning on releasing this weekend? Or do you only have to enable the downloads from your site ?
[Shift Development] unlocksmith:
Is any1 here kind of enough to show me how to access my hard drive through windows mobile?

I cant seem to get it working..

Im assuming thats what is displayed in the 3rd pic??
[Shift Development] lucid:
WHY Cant WE DOWNLOAD ?

What's the score with the 1.3 download it is still disabled
[Shift Development] KwiHa:
Download?

I'm not able to download it. :mad:
[Shift Development] johanromijn:
Hi my friend Monx!

Great to see you have a Shift now!

I'm currently flashing your ROM to my Shift.

Tnx a lot for this nice ROM!!

@ucid and KwiHa

I just downloaded it without any problems.
[Shift Development] giejo:
Hi

thanks for your great work

i ve downloaded the 1.02 without problem but now i cant download the 1.03 ?

Can you fix it ?

thanks in advance
[Shift Development] giejo:
it seems that only 1 download is permitted from your site
[Shift Development] Datenwolf:
I can't download too... even when registered
[Shift Development] KwiHa:
How did you do that?

I'm logged in, went to the download section, chose the ROMeO_S+hift_WM61_091030_21054_1_03.ZIP and .... nothing... :eek:

Edit: I tried it with Opera, IE8, Chrome.
[Shift Development] johanromijn:
No idea, it just works fine for me.

Maybe cause I'm a Top Sponsor :p
[Shift Development] lucid:
/Achmed the Terrorist impersonation mode :

...I sure hope not!

/end mode

Some must be more equal then others then.

Can you then report on his latest ROM ?

There's a bunch of people eager to hear your findings. :)
[Shift Development] johanromijn:
I didn't use the previous versions, so I can't tell you the difference, but it seems to run fine.

I don't use WM side a lot on my Shift, it's mostly to use the internet connection for my W7 os.

Made a few test phone calls, worked fine for me.
[Shift Development] Dammo:
Not working for me either, haven't played with a new rom in ages, this looks to be top.
[Shift Development] monx®:
Guys, sorry for the download problem. v1.01 & v1.02 is locked for public because it may cause ram drainage.

v1.03 & v1.04 is unlocked now & i will update v1.04 changelog asap.

Just a brief, v1.04 : i'm trying to reduce the ram consumption.

-Bootlauncher removed.

-HTC Task Manager replaced by pre-configured wktask.

-Latest windows Live from marketplace is added (i forgot who asked this)

@johanromijn

Johan bro, long time no see :D
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
v1.4 is running fantastically.

I need to edit the registry to set the keyboard type. This version doesn't contain task manager with the resistry editor. Is there an alternative registry editor included somewhere in the ROM? Otherwise, can anyone recommend a reccommend a registry editor for this purpose?

Thanks to all.
[Shift Development] johanromijn:
DotFred has a nice small app called TaskMgr.

It has a task manager, registry editor and more.

You can download it here: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
[Shift Development] Dammo:
Total commander did the trick for me, changed to the UK layout, I know it's a horible thing to say but search for it it's on the site.

V104

I don't have any sound on the WM side? so can't make calls? any ideas where I can look?

and

It keeps hanging, well correction, the screen dosent react to taps, it keeps running as I can see the clock changinf etc, any ideas where I can look?
[Shift Development] monx®:
The generic SIP is purposedly disabled in SIP menu. Actually EzInput will be the default SIP but there is a delay bcoz bootlauncher is not there or u need to select it manually. HTC Task Manager is replaced with wakutask. u can see running apps icon in taskbar. for terminating hidden running apps/process, use task terminator in startmenu system tools folder. Total commander is 4 in 1 apps. File explorer,LAN explorer,FTP explorer & REG editor. Check the \\Plugins folder.

Pls check Speakerservice.lnk is exist in \Windows\Startup.

If the device not responding, it means u r running out of ram. pls soft-reset or hard-reset if there is still weird behaviour.

Thank you so much for your great supports.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
Thanks for directing me to the \\Plugins folder for the reg editor.

ROM is still working perfectly, and even runs youtubeplay :)
[Shift Development] JaWe:
Much better now but still very unstable and hard resets when I soft reset (not every time). I haven't installed any extra apps, using now only programs in this rom but still screen freezes every now and then and device needs to reset. Sometimes soft reset works but sometimes WM loads only half, no snapvue today, no background picture, lsoft keys (Phone and Contacts) don't work and windows menu shows only partly, no shortcuts, only Today link. Then again only thing that helps is reflashing...
[Shift Development] lucid:
Same here JaWe

It's starting to look like 'there's those who have little to no problems" and those like JaWe and me who still cannot consider 1.04 stable.

I flashed that ROM, it was a lot better than 1.02 and 1.03 but after 20 minutes of use (only activesync really) it lost more and more icons, and softresetted by itself. After that snapvue wouldn't start.

Another soft reset and the device wasn't functioning at all anymore and only a ECshift.exe -bl let me flash a working ROM.

JaWe, do you have a hunch on what it could be ? I don't think it's is the memory as there was still around 10MB free with my crashes.

Darn I would really like to enjoy this ROM in a stable fashion.
[Shift Development] monx®:
i'm totally confused why it happen to certain fellas only :rolleyes:

Almost 4+ days running with exchange + live push enabled w/o any serious issue so far. Will see if WM6.5 will make it better tonight.
[Shift Development] vinokirk:
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ Ive always used this one, simple but does the job and its very small!
[Shift Development] lucid:
WM 6.5 takes a lot more RAM

What can we (the people who can't use your ROM properly yet) do

to help search for the issue ?

I've flashed many ROM's and I'm sure it must be something in the ROM, as

other ROM's function well.

Please don't start with 6.5 yet, let's see if we can nail the issue right ?
[Shift Development] Dammo:
My audio problem was solved with a radio update, now working fine, not had any other issues either, looking like the best rom yet!
[Shift Development] lucid:
To all who have issues with this ROM, are you also having the connection icon

stay red even though connected to the internet ?

In this case our Radio's might be different or HSDPA is not supported anymore.

Very peculiar.
[Shift Development] johanromijn:
Nope, I live in the Netherlands too, using Vodafone 3G/HSDPA.

My connection icon shows I'm connected and becomes green.

Not any problems with this ROM. (Using it for 3 days now)

What RADIO ROM are you using? I assume you flashed V2 from this thread?
[Shift Development] lucid:
Aha, I can't remember I flashed V2. When ThaiHugo released his ROM with a new Radio, that's what I did, period. So'I'll be flashing the V2 radio to see if that helps !

RADIO 1.27.35.28 is my version. If I go to the link you provided, I see only Radio.rar ROM1 and ROM2.rar no radio v2.

please help, I think we are on to something.
[Shift Development] Dammo:
Yes I updated to this rom to fix my sound issue :)

I get the one giving a signal strength in green but a red one to the left of it, I've only been in a GPRS signal area though, I'll let you know later as I will be going to a 3G and Edge signal area.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
I have experienced this now, it was after running contacts, accidently making a call, and then pressing buttons quickley to try to reopen the contact. From that moment onward contacts wasnt' working, Snapvue was a blank screen, calendar wasn't opening.

I reflashed the ROM and the same problem occurred only 10 minutes aftwards, after syncing PIM with Vista.

Update: I reflashed Thaigos ROM and then reflashed 1.4 ROM again. Working well so far. :)

Further update: v1.4 worked great after that. I'm now going to flash v1.5.
[Shift Development] johanromijn:
He uses another file host for version 2, so on that host there never was a version 1.

I think that's the reason it's called radio.rar instead of radio2.rar for example.
[Shift Development] Dammo:
update,

I went for a drive this evening, the red icon next to the signal strength indicator changed from red to a black E and a black H, can only assume Edge and Hsdpa signals. I think we should just assume that the red icon we get when there should be a black G is just that, a graphical glitch.

More importantly, my GPS isn't working! Google Maps is happy looking for the signal but never finds it, even after an hour. there are no other tools like the HTC one where we can see whats going on installed, Any ideas?
[Shift Development] J_Den:
Can't download add-ons :-( I need MMS.
[Shift Development] lucid:
YES GPS ain't working well

UPDATE :

After installing 1.04 for the 3rd time, everything went well, even ActiveSync pushmail (although that took several attemtps.....) , overnight, system has remained stable and fast.

However, GPS ain't getting no fix :) Tried installing visualgpsce.cab (free GPS tool, very nice and handy) but it doesn't get the fix. It can open COM4 and communicate however.

Monx, can you look into that, as well as the GPRS/3G/Edge icons missing ?

If GPS works, your ROM is "ready" :)

@DAMMO : KEEP YOUR SHIFT OUTSIDE FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR AND IT WILL FIND THE SATS, STILL NO FIX BUT AT LEAST 9 SATS IN VIEW. I JUST TESTED THIS AFTER HARD RESET. HAVE MORE THAN NORMAL PATIENCE AND GOOD VIEW OF THE SKY

EDIT 2 : Have done everything to get a FIX with GPS, no joy. Used to work fine. Now What could that be ?
[Shift Development] monx®:
I will post a possible fix to get GPS fix faster + compatible QuickGPS tonight.

However, I will only test them tomorrow :p
[Shift Development] lucid:
What do you think is the issue ?

@Monx - great, can I ask if you also have the GPS fix problem, or

are you trying to fix the problems of a couple of users on this forum?

If your GPS is working fine, something on our side must be wrong, not your ROM!

For the rest, this ROM is what I've been waiting for since the beginning. Having others like ThaiHugo and Cmonex doing very deep stuff, your ROM has the finishing touch !
[Shift Development] Dammo:
I'll second that!
[Shift Development] lucid:
@Dammo, do you have a GPS fix now ? Anyone else with this issue?

(we seem to be the only 2 guys)

I've had it in my car for 5 hours now, it''s seeing 12 sattelites but doesn't fix.

Using GPS2blue (renamed to GPS Router in this ROM) you can hard reset the gps or cold/warm start it. Nothing worked. So flashed Thaihugo again, insta-fix :)
[Shift Development] monx®:
This might be the issue :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\GPSDaemonService]

Try delete this key & soft-reset. Tomorrow will upload new version ;)
[Shift Development] lucid:
Deleting that key (actually the whole container according to the instructions)

didn't help either.

It took me 10 minutes from your posting to reflash your ROM. I can do it blind now.

It's the last hurdle, for the rest your ROM ROCKS.
[Shift Development] monx®:
Checked, there are extra drivers from Kaiser :p

v1.05 will be up in less than 2 hours :)
[Shift Development] lucid:
Nice Work !

Great.. Would be really really nice to have this ROM over the weekend.

About to show it off to some nay-sayers who rather have a Nokia.

18:17 amsterdam time : Yeye It's uploaded :) !! Now it needs "enabling"
[Shift Development] khals:
I can't wait to try this ROM out. It looks excellent :)

I just registered at your site and logged in, but there's no download button for the "ROMeO_S+hift_WM61_091106_21054_1_05.ZIP" file. Am I missing something? :confused:
[Shift Development] monx®:
Please try again :)
[Shift Development] Dammo:
Version 105 installed, all looks good, GPS now get's a lock, the red icon is still there but I spotted it go green when connected to WMDC. More tinkering to do but it looks good to me.
[Shift Development] lucid:
@Monx : Thank you for your work and persistance. This ROM is beautiful, it doesn't crash more than once a day and GPS now works. Just the connection icon is a little weird still.

Regardless, this ROM will stay on for as long as possible, it's really enjoyable again to work with (and show off) the Shift.

Some extremely minor issues :

1- red GPRS icon issue still there

2 - WelcomeHead192 and WelcomeHead_192 take up 1MB together, can u downscale/rezise?

3 - remove the music ringtone, it's also big. :)

Are you planning a 6.5 rom or possibly a 6.1 with TF3D + manilla 2.5 ? ;)

What is your opinion on browsers (opera mini, ie6.1)?
[Shift Development] monx®:
1-For me in my current network, red icons represent low/unavailable gprs connection. Will replace it to black later.

2-Sure, its in plan.

3-This one come in my package, forgot to change it :p

Currently I hv so many plan but with very limited spare time :D

I dont see Manila is worth to replace current SnapVue today plugin. Its already light (this is the most important), has all common features straight on desktop. Will see what more we can customize later.

Both browser are my favorites especially Opera Mini 5. But need more ram tho :(

Thanks.

Problems - with every version

Hi.

I have flashed every version of ROMeOS ROM to my Shift. It flashes ok but when I start to sync it - it crashes. None on my shortcuts work in start menu and ... I don't know ...

I had to flash another ROM again...

That bugs me because Monx rules! :o
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
v1.05 is working fine for me.

I tend to steadily increase how much I sync by ticking calander, contacts, tasks, incrementally as my Outlook contains a lot of info, and trying to sync it all in one go probably makes the WM side run out of memory as it usually hangs for me too.

The ROM is workin great. Many thanks.
[Shift Development] gbq1997:
Thank you to share and support the work of moderator
[Shift Development] lucid:
Gathering post count ?

WTF ?

-----

@monx : ROM rocks.

1.05 seems to have an incomplete or dated .NET CF framework.

If one starts a GPS application like Google Maps or our own Reperion software, one can observe a memory leak via settings/memory.

One of our engineers told me this, i'm not technical enough.

There's a package with .net message response stuff too. I will get into this

deeper and give full report.

Any comment ?
[Shift Development] jimmunsw:
@monx ,

I hv installed and tried yr 1.05 rom , works fine , better than the rest so far , looks great , keep it up the good works ,

Malaysia Boleh ! Cheers and best regards - jimmunsw :)
[Shift Development] J_Den:
Any thoughts about SD, BT, Wi-Fi?
[Shift Development] jimmunsw:
Sd = looks like need to solder an external sd slot to snapvue / wm processor

Bluetooth n wifi = still need to hack software too

Earplug with speakable mic = maybe need to solder to snapvue side too

Our gurus are still working on it , unless one generous person and saviour from Htc engineering side willing to share his expertise on all the above , then we just gonna wait longer , i think another 12 months time if we are lucky enough , let's pray hard and keep our fingers crossed - ok ?

cheers all - jimmunsw :)

Shift for dummy

Hi everybody,

Over a week I navigate through different topics of this forum and I must say that I am confused. Most of you are speaking a strange language! (rom, radio, hardSPL....).

Is there anybody who can explain to me (dummy me) clearly what are the steps in making my virgin HTC Shift a better one?

I want to replace vista and also benefit from all goodies (including GPS).

Blank Snapvue

Hi all, I just install this new ROM but after Win7 side said installation completed, I could not see anything in snapvue just normal blank screen as if it's not switched on. But I feel it's working, only not displaying...any help will be appreciated.
[Shift Development] Dammo:
Just upgraded to 1.06 from 1.05, I found that under 1.05 that google maps, which I want to run 100%, would shut itself down or crash. It just was alottle buggy. It may have been the way I had it set up but who knows, 1.06 is looking to do the job OK
[Shift Development] psdos:
monx, a fantastic job, I would love you to do a version in Spanish if possible.

Many thanks mate

PD: otherwise, if I make a copy of my rom, when I release the SPL, if I put the original copy, the notary that hacked the Shift?
[Shift Development] mtemnean:
Thank you monx!

O.K.

Nobody reply to my previous message so I have to do it on my own.

My modest experiences - for other dummyes like my

1. Liberate (http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/266537/View-Topic/) + HardSPL (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406606) - no unknown problem - browse on relevant topic and solve.

2. Flashing this rom (by the way - a great one) and, after hard reboot, a continuous unpleasant noise. Try several times but the result was the same. Flasing new radio (1.27.... - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DMWZBMQ6) and the noise disaper. No CDMA but no headache!

3. Upgrading Vista to Vista SP1.

4. Upgrading to windows 7 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533912)

5. Instal Touch Screen driver (check the vista compatibility tab!!!).

A) It's working far better than vista!!

B) Shift control center works, there are no Lan or wifi problems.

One problem to be solved - higher resolution is disabled. The button is still working but the two available resolutions are 800x480 and 800x480!!!.

Any good advice or I will have to browse the forum?

Again - big thanks to monx. The rom is really good!

Please tell me if the new radio is suited to your rom.

Tut
[Shift Development] tim128:
The same with me. After flashing - continious noise when both vista and WM side powered. No sound from WM side, sometimes there is some sound from vista side through noise. When I power off WM side, noise dissapears, but with this ROM WM side automaticly switches on soon.
[Shift Development] lucid:
You qouted #2 but did you actually flash a new radio ? If not, you WILL have the sound problem as described.

On a side note, this ROM is the coolest looking ever, but it's just not enough free memory for my daily use. You can see the drain, after one or two hours usage, and stopping all programs, you are always down to 5 MB free and have to soft reset.

ANother side note is that it hard resetted on me again after 2 days of non use.

It's almost finished but not quite.
[Shift Development] tim128:
Leaving both sides powered off for 24 hours solve the problem with unpleasant noise :) Then radio 1.27 enables sound on WM side. Why did author not mention this in this thread?
[Shift Development] monx®:
