Oh! 09122903 is really fast and smooth!

Thanks.... )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jack E:
This is much better however i am finding the new taskbar to be a bit too tall for my liking =/
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
That's MS, nothing I can do about it... :(

I might do a COM2 build (so pre UI changes).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jack E:
I'm sure i will get used to it :P anyway apart from that this is a great ROM so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jonboyuk:
No way you'll get used to it. It's a much better build IMO
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stefanhutu:
I have installed every day a new rom from you, the last one seems to be the greatest, i think it's a keeper. thanks a lot for your hard work.

I have some requests:

1: the scroll bar is way too big in default theme

2: tweak wireless performance - it seems wifi connection is very unstable on my phone with every release of yours

3: implement some tweaks like: hexagon 4 rows in start menu, touch x start menu icons, vovichek&jam 16 icons in manilla,

4: opera 10 beta 2 with g sensor rotation

5: show owner info in settings, disable policies - to install apps without warnings, or just implement bsb tweaks

If u can do these , you'll have my donation - by the way, donate app doesn't show anything.

thanks

Hi. I have a problem on my Leo.

After flashing and starting, there is only a white, blank screen... it seems to have problems with manila?

Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Thank you, Don
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
1) I can reduce the size of that, anyone else agree with that?

2) Not sure what's wrong with wifi, the ROM will work best with the 2.05.50.11 radio ROM though.

3) I quite like the stock look, 4 icons a row might be good though since 3 icons are huge! What do people think?

4) IMHO Opera 10 is slower than 9.7 (on the HD2 at least), and it doesn't support multitouch.

5) Owner info I can add, I think the policies are already patched out, can set the registry stuff though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Are you using the latest ROM. That was an issue with some of the older ones (I can delete the links if wanted).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donangelo:
hm... i downloadet it from a link here, right now?

RUU_Leo_l3v5y_09122901_F_WWE_5.2.28002.5.3.0_2.01

maybe a old one?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mracket:
1. Reduce a bit would be nice.

2. No problems, but using 2.05 as you write is best

3. 4 Icons per row is perfect for me

4. Multitouch is a must, so stick to 9.7 for my part.

5. Don't really care
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Try the 09122903 build 28014.5.5.0. It's the latest (and it works properly!). You may need to flash a stock ROM first though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thengwee:
Hi l3v5y, great work on the ROM! Very nice!

Would you be releasing the vanilla & lite version soon? :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pdgpereira:
I totally agree with all of these. Nice fast rom, this last one.

Also: the latest compass doesn't have the button just bellow to set a destination. Could you put the one from 1.6 or previous builds? Don't really see an improvement with this one.

I miss the original weather and animated wallpapers (also for the lock screen). They seem to be MIA.

Thanks again for the roms. Great cooking :)

ROM RUU_Leo_l3v5y_09122903_F_WWE_5.2.28014.5.5.0_2.01

(-) Data Sync problems with my PC (Win7 64bit).

(-) 2 soft-reset (battery out) in 20 min (simple scrolling to manila music-photos tabs).

(-) This Shadowlines WM HTC_Black theme WM 6.5.3 theme is not the best for 800x480px, I think...

(-) Not faster than official 1.48

Thanks for your work, back to stock ROM...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
I will be, probably tomorrow, there are a few issues people have raised with the latest full ROM that I'd like to get rid of first...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
I can add the Compass from an older build in if wanted. Seems a handy thing to have... :)

The weather should be in there already (I think) I removed the wallpapers though (2-3MB) but I'll cab them up now and add to the first post :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
What were you syncing?

Anyone else experiencing that?

Shadowlines theme was designed for WVGA... :P

I don't know what it feels like on a device... :(

Did you try a hard reset after flashing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
Yes, yes Sir
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pdgpereira:
Weather works fine. Only, for the wallpapers on the "Personalize" there are only 3 original ones under "Home tab wallpaper"->"Animated Wallpaper". None on the "Home tab wallpaper"->"weather wallpaper" that I can choose from and none at "Lock screen wallpaper" that I can match with.

A cab meets everyone's need I think:). Cool!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Added to the first post (download via MoDaCo, cause XDA refuses the cab).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pdgpereira:
I'm not sure if this is what sternas meant but, changing the theme to HTC Black, strange stuff happens. Already soft reset and, on the start menu, the lock icon appears as a phone (still lock :)).

On the bottom of the lock screen, the frame behind the clock doesn't go all the way to the bottom (it bight be ment to be that way).

If you go to any WM setting icon like "home" or "sound & notification" you won't see the sub menu options at the top (can still switch'em).

Going back to shadowline theme I now have a diferent background on home, start menu and lock screen. I didn´t see this background after flashing and hard reset (strange). Lock icon is normal now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htakahasyd5:
Bootable, but unstable: 09122903

Thank you l3v5y.

This version boots successfully, however, it doesn't work well. I needed to do soft reset several times, and hard reset twice. Again, I decided to move to other stable coocked ROMs.:(

Other than the stability issue, please remove application security lock and unnecessary folders, such as Messaging, Instant Messaging, etc. I want 4 row quick links at home screen, "settings" linked to windows setting instead of HTC Sense.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
The HTC Black theme is designed for an older build of WM, so it's not perfect... If you select the Classic Blue (default) theme, and then the HTC Black theme it should work better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
I will remove those folders, I didn't mean to have them (I accidentally used an old initflashfiles.dat instead of the new cleaned one >:()
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Hi,

I have just made these cabs for people using WM6.5.3 (Original Thread HERE):

Hope you find them useful!

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sternas:
This is the same with this Sir ?

..

Oh my GOD...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jonboyuk:
I don't know if it's just me, but I've just tried the latest full *via torrent* and it's still painfully slow :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
No, i just happen to use the taskbar, my cab switches between the HTC menu and the WM6.5.3 (you can tell its a screenshot as you can see my sms under it!!)

also thats why i included the screenshot of the HTC notification manager, one cab for WM6.5.3 Notification, One cab for HTC Notification!!

The thread also contains all of these:

Nothing to do with the taskbar!!! although i have released that taskbar for WM6.5.3 FULLY working for the HD2 HERE All people credited!

Kinda obvious really, its a shame people just look at pictures and not ACTUALLY READ THE THREAD!!!

Whats your point? Suggest you read before accusing me of anything!!!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thengwee:
Great! Waiting with bated breath for the vanilla version! :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] firaX:
Is there a way to make the Windows start bar etc as black as in the official 6.5 Rom? The blue and HTC sense don't match well, which honestly disturbs me. The official look is just more seamlessly integrated. I wish this was possible with WM6.5.3. The bottom start bar is just so huge and bulky... Wish they had left it the way it was in 6.5.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] webpatrick:
For a capacitive (fingerfriendly) screen the size of the bottombar is great (probably a matter of taste), and the topbar is smaller (compensation).

Btw. You can change the color of the startmenu by choosing another Windows Theme.

I'll be receiving my Leo soon, and I can't wait to try this ROM.

Btw. SSPL is included, so when I flash my Original Dutch ROM again, it will be like I just bought my device??? Or do I need a GoldCard to flahs older versions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lucid:
THIS ROM IS SOOOO FAASSST ( and I know ROMS)

If you use L3v5y third ROM from devember 29, and install all the cabs attached,

and set your HD2 to HTC BLACK THEME, you will be left with a gorgeous device, and its INSANELY FAST !!@
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mracket:
Maybe it's time for trying it out again. I only tried version 2 which sadly didn't perform as well as version 1 and as it sounds version 3. Still nice work L3v5y, thanks for the time you put into it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Thanks for the info I will have to give it a try after I charge the phone up a bit lol.

Do you know if the radios included with the newer stock roms give better performance as im still using the 2.04 radio with the vodafone 1.43 stock rom and to be honest the reception is terrible inside my house. I know radios cant be flashed with sspl but if the newer radios are better I will flash a stock rom with goldcard before flashing L3v5y's rom.

Mark :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:
Just flashed your newest ROM, its truely awesome. Its blazing fast and love the better 6.5.3 buttons and UI. Looking forward for newer releases.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] iky10:
the outlook and messaging folder have nothing inside them..also ms myphone is also not on phone...as you have no choice to install it on storage card..so its best to include in rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pietrucci:
So will you bring a new version soon? I like the 6.5.3 interface very much and your ROMs are speedy (as my benchmarks show...).

I want to use the full version as my daily ROM for a while but when you intent to bring a new version I'll wait a bit longer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] baaggzz:
Hi.

First thx for this Rom which is very nice.

Which Task manager can we use with WM6.5.3 ? Showcase or taskmanager X2 are functionnal but hide behind the taskbar clock.

thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
I haven't update the torrrents, you'll need the direct link.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
I've built in Showcase, and I think it's likely to work the best with the later builds...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
What I'm fixing for todays release:

[#] Fix extra folders in start menu

[#] Fix HTCBlack theme

[-] Remove security things

[#] Fix MoDaCo donate client ;)

[+] Add Owner Info back in (MS removed by default).

Any other complains so far?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
It's on marketplace so I didn't include it, I think there are many who wouldn't want it built in, so I leave the user that choice... You can also find a cab separate of marketplace giving you the option of installing on memory card, and I'm looking at patching the latest marketplace... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tung_meister:
i'm having afew issues with the lastest build, i can't get sense to connect to the internet, via wifi or cellular. also when resetting the device part of the initial config wizard flashes up (the bit where you can practice typing).

EDIT: i've managed to get sense to connect to the internet now but i can't get my location on weather to update (just stays black saying "My Location" and clicking the update button does nothing)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] -NRG-:
Yeh for me the light version wouldn't even need showcase, owner info and my phone. Since i use Mobile Shell 3.5 with taskmanager.

Maybe it's a better idea to inclus BSB Tweaks so everyone can disable or enable owner info if wanted.

BTW: How can i completely turn of vibration. Even with BSB tweaks i turned everything off with vibration and i still have vibration on the OK or X (close) buttons in the lower right corner on the taskbar when i press it.

How can you make the taskbar slightly smaller if wanted?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bhogal:
Stability

Last nights ROM is still running perfectly, even though with previous builds there were serious issues after activating exchange email.

With this latest build evreything is flying speedily and there is no slowdown what so ever.

Very very stable.

A very well done to l3v5y!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:
Bug in Build 09122903:

- Phone froze while in Standby and the button backlights were lit. Had to remove the battery in order to reboot the phone.

I had not installed any apps/mods/tweaks, this happened a while of using the ROM.

EDIT: It happened again, this time while I was installing a few apps such as CorePlayer and HiCalc.

Yes, I've Exchange enabled to sync my Emails, Calender & Contacts with Google.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Odd... Did you use ADC (the MS connection setup). If so, go in to all settings (via Sense) Connections->Connections, and use the "Proxy Server" link to remove the proxy server, then let me know if that works.

Well... I include Showcase because it's a taskmanager that's useful, you can turn it off in the registry if you want. I think BSB Tweaks would be a good thing to include, will see if I'm allowed...

To remove vibration you need to edit the showcase settings (registry).

Yay! :)

Does it do that if you're not syncing with exchange? If so, that will give me a way to hunt down what's causing it...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:
Switching Exchange OFF and will let you know if it happens.

EDIT: Switched Exchange OFF, got a call and as soon as the call ended ....now its stuck again!

EDIT: Flashing another ROM in the meantime, as the frequency of getting frozen has increased drastically. Please look into this and fix it.

EDIT: Strongly suggest that the problem is occuring due to Showcase, when I installed the cab on the official ROM, it made Sense 2.5 very slow.

Can you release a ROM without Sense UI 2.5?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Releasing the ROM without Sense UI would be the light version. However I would suggest not to release light or vanilla until of the bugs are worked out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mallman:
+1 can confirm this is my scenario as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mallman:
this isnt happenoing to me at all. this isnt the ROM in my opinion. Maybe a hard reset will fix this for you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pietrucci:
I suggest not to add too much extra's that can easily be installed by cab. Because some people (like me) don't want that extra stuff (like Showcase) in ROM...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] crm4:
Same for me. Furthermore, Showcase doesn't seem to work all the time as expected. Sometimes it didn't even show anything when lanched.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Actually, I have one more and I am not sure where to go with it.

Everything was working fine until I installed Seven. Seven is used for pushed e-mail. Here is the cab to the version I am using http://rapidshare.com/files/300570502/def_seven-ppcwm6-330935.cab

The issues I am having (like lock ups, slow down, etc...) seems to be related to Sense UI lock ups. I am able to get to the Windows Start menu using the hardware key. It would be nice if you could have settings go directly to Windows Mobile settings instead of Sense UI settings. It will help when we are trying to figure out conflicts (to turn off Sense UI, or change theme, etc...)

As I said without Seven, I had no issues with your ROM. However, I do need Seven so this could be deal breaker if I can't figure out how to fix it. I was thinking about doing HR then install Seven by itself and see what happens.

I will continue to test to see if I can figure out something. FYI, Seven does work with stock ROM and it does work with WM 6.5.3 because I was using it on Rhodium before I sold it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brinlarden:
the "kinetic" scrolling isnt really working. well, it scrolls but when you reach the end of a list it just stops instead of a clean "bounce" type animation. and now if you carry on scrolling past the end of a list and let go it instantly snaps back which looks really ugly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClownShoes:
Great rom l3v5y. I'm mighty impressed at the speed of your updates as well.

One minor cosmetic bug I've discovered, is that rotation in either album or music player seems to break the background picture. The bottom half disapears and needs a soft reset to repair. I remember this being an issue on early cooked roms on the blackstone. I think it has something todo with the landscape background being made of two halves.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

I have supplied a screenshot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
Todays ROM (finalised changes, Full coming up now)

[#] Fix extra folders in start menu
[#] Fix HTCBlack theme

[#] Fix MoDaCo donate client
[+] Add Owner Info back in (MS removed by default).
[-] Remove Showcase
[-] Remove TotalCommander
[#] Fix physicsengine (old version nicer bounceback)
[#] Reduce size of scroll bars
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:
I did a hard reset immediately after flashing the ROM.

EDIT: Awaiting the new release, hopefully that should fix the problem Im facing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClownShoes:
As the slightly flakey Showcase is now being removed, can I suggest people might like to use the latest BSB Tweaks to add windows task manager to the left softkey, for easy access and increased reliability.

I've also found a rather nice theme for 6.5.3 that has been recently updated

Great rom.... liking it a lot.

However the Orange mms settings dont seem to have installed. I manually created the mms server but any ideas why its not automatic?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lpsi2000:
I Did a hard reset and testing a Theory with the lock ups and Seven. The people with the lock up issues, are they using any Manila Tweaks like Max Mainla or others. I am thinking may be that is what making the Sense UI so unstable.

edit: Nevermind that Theory failed flat. I still have the issue without any manila tweaks. May be it is related with showcase since it is known to have that affect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:
My lockups happen without installing a single tweaks, mod or 3rd party app.

Since Total Commander and Showcase are removed, these lockups wont occur.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] counterfitninja:
the lock ups appear when the doc tab is viewable and has been used.

Is RUU_Leo_l3v5y_09122903_F_WWE_5.2.28014.5.5.0_2.0 the latest with the latest updates/bugfixes?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:
I feel the problem lies within CFC Compressed Manila... as most of the folks reporting this bug have faced it while on/using the Sense UI.

Yes, but he is releasing another improved version within an hour, so be hold!

BUG 2:

- After the lockup and doing a 'hard' reboot ;-) if the phone is connected to the PC via USB the screen says "Loading HTC Sense....." and stays there, immediately after unplugging the Sense UI loads up.....

- It takes more time then the usual startup time for the Sense UI after every reboot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClownShoes:
Ahh, well spotted mate. Could you post the settings as I don't have them handy? Also can you tell me, do I need to apply them only via manila with this rom or also via connection settings?

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lpsi2000:
Yeah, I just confirm the issue quickly after a Hard Reset. I am waiting for new version.

oops, replied to the wrong post, I meant to reply to your previous post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Dracoster:
I guess I'll wait then. Sadly, I can't choose Lite. Personally I'd be fine if all I had from Sense was the Music Player.

Because some people reported "stable", I tried this ROM 09122903 again. I believe the problem is derived from Showcase.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] crm4:
Since i disabled showcase, no more lockups for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mikulec:
I dont know if it was already mentioned but I had some freezes and lockups when I was moving *.lnk files in start menu folder from one folder to other. I thought its issue with total commander(which I was using), so I tried to move the files with file explorer and the same problem appeared. I then found out that it was not problem only with files in start menu but it was problem with moving files in general. Does anyone faced the same issue?

BTW I was using 09122902 and 03 roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htakahasyd5:
Would you please tell me how you disabled it?

*Edit*

I guess that I just need to delete showcase in \windows\startup.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] -NRG-:
Delete from showcase from windows\startup folder and

If you use resco registry editor you can search for showcase or native, delete the entire e-natives folder. Then you're done.

Thank you for your answer l3v5y, didn't know the vibrations were from showcase.
