you must be missing a step in the creation of your wallpaper cab.

Once you created the cab install it then install the patch.

always use 480x800 wallpaper.

Change Manilla Font size to smaller

Hi All,

I flashed this ROM yesterday & found it to be good & fast. But the Manilla font size is large for my taste.

How can I reduce this? :o
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] borg28:
try this one tonight.;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] wahaj123:
Great ROM! Tried a "sense" rom first, but it was too slow. Love this one..

esp the landscape Manilla, its great.

Picture viewing was better in the stock ROM though, how do you zoom a picture in this one?

Thanx..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kersey:
Have found this great little app called Gyrator which changes the screen orientation and makes use of the landscape manila feature on this great rom. Really is the icing on the cake :D.

I flashed the ROM 2 days ago. Overall it is very good. Does not feel as snappy as Dutty's XT 3.9, but gives WM 6.5 and Sence 2.1 and landscape capability. However there are a few problems I encountered (some, I'm sure, subjective). I will try to track solutions down and provide solutions here.

HIGH SEVERITY:

- LANDSCAPE Dialer swithes to PORTRAIT when calling / receiving call

-- can anyone check how TouchPro2 with open keyboard behaves?

MEDIUM SEVERITY:

- My Location requires WiFi enabled

-- SOLVED: install CAB below

- ROM is not as responsive as DUTTY's XT 3.9

-- SOLVED: Clear Storage did the trick (hard reset after flash did not)

LOW SEVERITY:

- Sense has a funny default wallpaper

-- KWBR, can you make the HTC Lights wallpaper as default

- HTC Black theme has a funny wallpaper

-- KWBR, can you make the HTC Lights wallpaper as default (maybe just black background is fine too)

[I know the wallpaper thing is very subjective, but HTC Lights is quite artistic while leaves calendar events readable - see attachment]

- Battery level decreases in 10% intervals

-- a solution CAB spotted - I will report here when I know more

-- TP2-Batt.cab *did not* work...

KWBR, I hope you will find the time to listen to this thread and indulge us with future updates.

cheers

This ROM may well be the same speed as the Topix 6.5 ROMS, but compared to a Topix WM 6.1 ROM (e.g Topix 3.0.2), the speed is noticeably slower. After a Clean RAM there is at least 10MB less Free Ram available than in Topix 3.0.2., and it sits on 46% memory as opposed to my normal 34%.

I flashed this ROM in an attempt to get into WM 6.5, but I'm still not convinced. I guess it's all down to personal preference, but for my needs I really don't see the advantages of a 6.5 ROM! Maybe it's the honeycomb Start Menu that some people like... that's the only real difference I can see! I'll keep trying though. :-)

Select another wallpaper in Settings or replace \windows\wallpaper_default.png if you want to keep animated weather.

Works for me. I had to update weather twice and then it worked.

Hi Kwbr. I have been using your best 6.1 rom. and now I test your 6.5 built 21867 I see that your roms oppropriate ram as little as possible when compare to other roms and it is fast, stable.

Hi, KWBR

I have a question. When you turn off HTC Sense, then can not get into the settings via Start Menu - Settings.

Can this be adjusted somehow? :confused:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Steve James:
Hi kwbr,

I know that this ROM is based on the RTM Rhodium ROM but would it be possible to update Google Maps to v3.2.1 and Windows Live to v10.9 (from Marketplace). Also, I don't know if it's possible to update Marketplace with the full program rather than the link that's in the current ROM.

At the moment, I'm just wasting valuable internal storage upgrading Windows Live and Marketplace.

Thanks for all the work you've put in on this ROM. I had gone over to the dark side using another chef's 6.5 ROM for the last 5 weeks but it's nice to be back!

Try attached cab.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoop_xda:
I couldn't agree more. I managed to shape this ROM to my, almost full, liking. It is Sense 2.1 that I like and want. In addition I do not like ROMs bloated with apps. I can install apps, that I need, myself.

The only thing left to improve in this ROM (I made a few fixing/tweaking CABs for my use) is the crazy-portrait-switching dialer. If I will fix/tweak that one within a week I'll stay with it - otherwise Dutty's XT 3.9 it is. Bloated with apps, but full landscape and lightning fast...

KWBR, this is the only WM65 ROM I liked so far. Can you think of a solution for the dialer? Does TOPIX suffer from that problem? Can anyone send me registry dump from a fresh TOPIX ROM? Thanks.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoop_xda:
[moved further]
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] simplistian:
I confirm that.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoop_xda:

anyone, help!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mattster_spv:
Hi Swoop,

Did you find any solitions for the above?

Have you since tried any other ROMS with WM6.5 and Sense 2.1?

Mattster.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoop_xda:
Mattser,

answer to both questions is NO. the most annoying is the dialer bug. I use my HD in landscape as navigation and, obviously, I answer many calls when driving. it is annoying trying to see who calls when the dialer switches.

- I wonder if this bug is present in kwbr's TOPIX rom

the double appointment I could even classify as medium. annoying nevertheless.

- as I said, I see this one for the first time.

I try to keep a ROM for at least of a couple of weeks, otherwise you cannot find the less obvious issues. I was previously on ;) XT 3.9. this is my first 6.5 rom...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoop_xda:
I just noticed that this ROM gets faster and faster every hard reset. I know it sounds crazy, but that is what happened just now.

when flash gets to 100% I hold the volume keys and HR right then.

two days after, I didn't like the results of my graphics drivers hacks - clear storage. and the response improved.

this morning another hacking - opera didn't fire up - clear storage. now the Manila slider is really smooth.

make of it whatever you want. this is what I see. tonight I need to try a few things with a stock ROM, and will flash vanilla again later. I'll let you know...

-- SOLVED: install CAB from previous post

-- SOLVED: new CAB http://xdaforums.com/atta...4&d=1262910766

- ROM is not as responsive as DUTTY's XT 3.9

-- IMPROVED: Clear Storage did the trick (hard reset after flash did not) - see previous post - do HR 2x

- Updates and Events tab *does not* auto-update (auto-update ticked)

-- it seems that new updates are shown only after "clearing" the old ones. wtf?

-- after 2nd hard reset this seems to be fine - flashing now and will HR 2x, we will see

LOW SEVERITY:

- Battery level decreases in 10% intervals

-- TP2-Batt.cab *did not* work...

- Battery low warning icon is displayed twice

-- just noticed

- menu bullet in cable connect (active sync, mass storage, ...) menu is grey i.s.o green

-- picky, I know

Last few days...

These might be my last few days using this ROM. I tried to communicate with KWBR, but for some reason, he's ignoring me. The reason is unknown to me.

I made a few CAB packs. One more to come that will address Manila wallpapers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=616291

I have now stock Rhodium (NL) registry dump. I will see if I will be able to make something out of it to help the dialer (phone canvas). If not, I'll be going back to Dutty's XT39.

Personal helpdesk / foobar

First of all you should use the rom that best suits you. Don't know what you are talking about. Answered your pm's and sent you registry settings by mail a few days ago (mcerveny@youknow.com). Never got a thank you or an answer.

Now my point. All cooks have a family and a job. I get lots of pm's and mails from people asking for my kitchen, a theme, change of colors, change of icons, an rom add-on, a request to remove a link or a program, registry keys, support on cooking a personal rom. Most get an answer. Often people are too lazy to do some research on their own but demand support. Even get angry or mad when a reply is not given within a day. Yes, some people get really rude!

Who do you think you are! I get really sick of this behaviour and tend to stop publishing my roms if this becomes mainstream at xda.

Just my 2 cents. Cheers.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] swoop_xda:
this reply is not to make anyone angry. I will, merely, try to shed some light on the misunderstanding I might have created.

kwbr, something must have went wrong. I did not receive your email. thanks for the effort. our lives are paved by technical issues like this one, I'm afraid. yes, your ROM suits me good and I'm using it. that is why I try to give back to the community the way I can.

I'm no different and I try to give back to this forum, by documenting the issues I encounter and tracking them, creating CABs (up the level I can and have the time to help). you have, kindly offered me help. I replied. in surprise by the fast response, I forgot to mention all the details, thus I sent more than one reply - my apologies for that. I have been awaiting a response (email / pm), which did not come because of the technical issue I described before. I waited for 5 days. I thought that I might have written / done something wrong. thus, I wrote the post you replied to - it *did not* come out right. I'm sorry about that.

I respect you as a cook - as any cook on this forum, but the "Who do you think you are!" was a bit too much, don't you think? anyway, thanks for your efforts so far.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
i dont blame kwbr to react the way he did, you should think back at your threatening post (threat of abandoning Kwbr ROMS) which really brought this about, what made it worst is you made it public and other people might interpret it the wrong way. it is ackowledge that Kwbr's contribution to this community is immense
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Fair enough

I was generally speaking. Got several pm's / mails this month from people demanding instant support and got rude so you have to understand. Remember I cook for fun and nothing else. Everyone will get a reply as long as the question is relevant and I have the time. I really stop responding to questions like gimme a new 6.1 and how do I flash a rom.

i have a very good experience to tell with Vanilla Series being on my device::)

as I work as a Nurse, a patient has to be transferred to a bigger hospital as he was

needing immediate surgical attention due to a life threatening infection.

and as I was escorting the patient all through the process, I was in constant

contact with his family members and the ward wherein he was going to be brought.

had to travel 25 Miles with the 999 ambulance crew.

Boy was I glad that I had Vanilla Series Rhodium flashed on my device as it never faltered all the way:D

in Speed, stability and connectivity. No drop calls, no lock ups or hangups:D

while waiting for my transport back to my own hospital, i even had time to

update my location through wifi and it was just instantaneous.

now just woke up after that very busy night shift, and battery life is 63%

despite several minute calls, updating my location and browsing in Opera when I went to break and updating my facebook

I have flashed Vanilla series before, and Topix, and Miri ROMs. Really Glad! of Kwbr's Work!

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jb_xda:
This ROM deserves more attention.

I have been using 1.3 since its release, no bugs (weather animation is also good), 0 crashes, fast, low ram. Second day since charge and at 88% battery with light use!

Only things I did was to organize the start menu into folders, added HDwalls wallpaper for all tabs and added gfreek's taskbar.

Had to reghack the SMS timezone, but that seems to be a Canadian service provider problem with all 6.5 ROMs.

Great ROM!

I just had to drop a note to say that KWBR this is by far the BEST ROM according to my preferences on the entire Touch HD section! I initially wanted one with Sense 2.5 but the speed and lack of clutter on Home page with 2.1 just makes it miles ahead anything else!

Oh and I LOVE it that this one doesnt have icons arranged in folders.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hoss_n2:

bug report

Hi Kwbr

up to now nice rom

found one issue though

when i switch back to sense from titanium or standard wm today screen, manilla just launches for a sec then blanks out repeatedly.

only way to get back to sense is soft reset.

I have not installed any cabs or tweaks

Request:

also a standard manilla like in latest topix 3.1.2 without weather would be nice.

one last thing would really like action screen incorporated fore sense & titanium like Nrgz28 uses.

maybe this will be in your topix wm6.5?

note:

your the only 6.5 rom i`ve come across todate with data tab in phone settings, which is a must for me

thanks for your efforts

And??? Just try the rom, if you dont like it dont use it.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lamajstro:
Well, I can understand him. It is also a question of aesthetics.

I, for example, still use a 6.1 rom which I would like to replace with another rom that uses the new Manila. But most of them here are quite ugly and then I prefer keeping on using my old rom.

So, it is just a must to post two or three screenshots, which by the way is not really hard work, and everybody can see, if that is fine for them. Otherwise no one will dare to kick their working systems for something we have not even seen.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Just tested that with todays release which is uploading. I can switch between "HTC Sense" and "Windows Default" (titanium) without any problem.
