Frequntly Asked Questions / Known Issues

Known issues:

This does not add the registry entries that the 4 column enhancement provides.

They might already be there in the base VGA Manila 2.1.

If your ROM does not have the 4 column enhancement, you might need to install it first.

It can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=554330

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I cook this in my ROM?

I can't really stop you, so if you do, please donate a small portion of the donations that you receive for the ROMs you provide.

Exception to that request. NRGZ28 has my personal approval to cook this into his Raphael ROMs if he chooses to do so.

Any chef that donates does as well.

If it's cooked in a ROM, I will likely recieve nothing from the users of the ROM.

A cooked ROM is obviously worth more than any ingrediant.

But, the suppliers of the ingrediants should get something.

So, if you get $500 from a ROM you cook, throw me a bone.

I'm not looking to get rich from this, but I'd like to get a little something for what I produce.

Will this work with the ROM I am using?

If the ROM you are using is VGA and uses Manila 2.1, it will work.

Good word :)

edit: something like this :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Funny.

Thinking more along the lines of what schneid posted in the Raph Energy thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4793714&postcount=9640

I'm liking the ones he posted. I kind of want it to indicate a little more what it does. But they are definate possibilities. They look real nice.

Good job. Cant wait for the program tab backup feature. I was backing up the registry before, but everytime I disable manila, import reg entry, and re-enable(even after soft reset) all icons are gone with a grey box in their place. Anyway, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neil_swann80:
Something like this perhaps?

But obviously tidier than my effort!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I figured out how to solve the icon issue, just set icon path to blank for each program entry

HKLM\Software\manila\ProgramLauncher\0

iconPath=blank

using regedit backup and restore, for some reason it resotores it to 0 or 8.

So, until I get this done. that is one way to restore the program tab between ROM flashes.

In any case, it is fiigured out, so now I just need to write code.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anod:
Hi!

I have a question, m is it possible to change number of shown icons?

If yes, can you add this to your program

I would like to reduce it, to see all icons only with one slide...

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
It's already in the planned features.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Great. I have used that knowledge and added Backup/Restore of program tab via my FlashBack Tool with autorestore when flashing a new ROM :)

I'm sure your version will be much better and wont have evrything else included that FlashBack has
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Backup coded!

I have the backup portion coded.

It produces a reg file, without all the extra entries.

I'm thinking iconPath and IsReadOnly aren't really needed for backup.

From my experience,

IconPath is always ""

IsReadOnly is always 0

Anyone have any different experience with those or need for backing them up and restoring them?

I'm just trying to keep the file as clean as possible.

I Plan to have restore always put the IconPath to "" and IsReadOnly to 0

I still need to code restore, but I think I might call it a night.

After restore is coded, I'll post an updated version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Program Icon - Program Name

I'm thinking of calling this Program Tab Toolbox.

Since, I am having backup and restore.

And plan to make it so the user can control how many programs can be set. From the day I did the VGA port, I've know how to do this. I just need to code it. It's just registry manipulation.

And I plan to make it so the user can control the order of the programs on the tab. (not for all programs)

So I think I would like the icon to be the icon that you slide to from the Energy ROM, with something like a wrench and screwdrivr or some tool. My art skills are pretty bad so help on this is appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmckeejr:
Actually, you can delete the IconPath entry all together(this is what I am doing after impoting the reg entries) and it works great. IsReadOnly is something that OEM manufacturers put in there so they can lock certain items in. These can also be deleted. They are actually set to 1 by default in the original Packages, but I always make them at 0 so that users can select their own. There is also an entry in there for "Command" or something similar which can mess things up if left behind and using programs in those spots(ie if you replace the Activesync item and dont remove command it sends a command to the new program "/remote" which can make the new program act funny. These should be removed or set to blank "".

About the 3 icon file that you have:

Seems it might be from manila 2.0 or something because the size of the buttons are smaller. I have this setup that I made which makes the buttons original size. Maybe you can include these instead?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Thanks. They were Manila 2.1, but not version 1.5. They were from the last Energy ROM that was Manila 2.1 that did not have the 4 column enhancement that I ported. And that was before 1.5 came out.

I'll put these in. Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
Icon Request

I do need it to be in ico format.

I edited this. I don't need 4 bit, thankfully. I added an ico file that I downloaded and it even has a 256x256 png in it.

I can just put png source files in, so I am currently using one by schneid posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4793714&postcount=9640

I learned a little put about ico editting in Visual Studio today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
It seems that the editted version to support of 6ec19d9f_manila was in this zip. With the supplied files in the zip, there isn't a way to get the All Programs to appear as a list.

I'll have to go with my original files for now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
New version posted

i just uploaded a new version that has an icon by Schneid and supports backup and restore.

It also has an about page.

Limitations of backup and restore.

Backup will produce a reg file that can be imported with regedit.

But, Restore does not just import the reg file generically.

It relies on the reg file being in the format that it produces.

A future vrsion might more generically import.

Also, for each program, it only backs up the dispName and Path.

On import, it gets rid of things like command, and icon path, and anything else that was stored under a program slot.

The 2 options of backup and restore are enabled, whether you have a storage card or not.

Also restore is enabled whether the file exist or not.

It should fail gracefully if you do something that you shouldn't.

Hi guys, does anyone noticed a difficult in recording phone calls after WM 6.5? The tweaks for this are not working anymore. Does anyone has a solution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Polar67:
Didn´t work for me either under 6.1

Hi y´all.

I know there is at reg. tweak that should enable call recording in the sticky section. I tried it under the old rom. It worked with Resco Audio recorder for about 3 days. After that i couldn´t hear what was being said in the other end any more.

Had to uninstall audio recorder.

I would also appreciate if someone has a solution.:o

Regards

ELO

I had majorrrrr probs on my kaiser and on the tp2, but after flashing to 6.5 (THANKS KAREEM!!!) it's been perrfect!!! I just installed mskips 2 way recorder cab and that was all. No more robot voices!!! I have both resco and vito audio notes but since it works on resco I won't bother with vito anymore (didn't like how I couldn't do anything during a call).

hope this helps :)

Thank you man I will give a shot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
I have looked around for a fix that will show the battery level in 1% increments....but nobody will confirm whether this works for the tilt 2 without causing problems. Should I just assume that if something works with WM6.1 it will work with 6.5?

Also, it is so stupid to not have a better battery icon...is there a way to replace it with one that actually shows a freaking number? I don't want anything fancy, and I don't want to install a pack that replaces ALL my icons. Anyone?

EDIT:

Just thought of this. Does anyone know how to change the colors on the top start bar, and bottom start bar in tf3d? I was thinking of wanting them both transparent, but that might make the stop icons hard to see....maybe just the bottom tranparent.....hell, I guess I could pick a dark background and make them both tranparent.

Anyway....anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lilchip85:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ariel-battery-monitor-v1-6-2.html maybe this would help? i've used it and it doesn't replace any icons. it stays at the top bar. you can move it to cover the battery area or just leave it by the start logo
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
Thanks a lot...I will check that out.

I think I would still prefer editing the built in icon...just seemed less "hacked" to me.

Get NRG Rom "Photon"

Has the 1% battery and everything else you would ever ask for.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lilchip85:
yeah i know. i've used it for about 2 weeks until i flashed my phone lol. a lot of the roms include the 1% increments
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
Not really in interested in flashing a whole new ROM just for this. The ROMS are nice, but none of them are 100% perfect....I don't want to deal with radio's....I don't want to deal with some of my keyboard buttons not working...I don't want to deal with getting some strange ATT registry setting back just so x or y program will run right.

The phone runs great now...just want a couple tweaks, not a full overhaul.

Quentin- has offered in this thread to make a modified battery.dll for various specific devices, but it seems he hasn't poked his head in that thread for about a month.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
thanks man!

I'll keep track of that thread.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
I figure others might be looking for the same stuff..so I'd like to update this thread as I find what I need.

Finally found a replacement battery icon that works on the tilt 2 here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3598922&postcount=3473

still looking for a way to get 1% increments on the stock ROM.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ai6908:
You need to install that 1% increment driver for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
wow.....

I hate to be a ****, but thanks captain obvious...that's the whole point of this thread....nobody has made one yet for the tilt2, they are phone specific.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jlczl:
Wow, you may hate to be but you are.

TWO experienced people posted suggestions that would work but you've chosen to not believe them or even attempt there suggestions. Why even ask?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acolona:
I probably went overboard....but if he would have read the posts he would have seen that we were discussing this in depth already. It would be like me walking into a white house press conference on the state of the economy and saying "hey...uhhh..maybe someone should try to fix it and stuff"

As for me ignoring the 2 suggestions.

1. I thanked the first guy but RESPECTFULLY mentioned that this was more of a work-around and not a fix. I also posted a fix to the first part of my problem in case he, or anyone else, was interested....not sure how that is supposed to show i ignored him.

2. The second suggestion was to a thread that the head guy didn't seem to updating anymore, which the poster stated up front as he gave me the link. I thanked him as well...and agreed that the thread did not have a solution for this issue...was never a **** to him.

Anyway.....I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted like that...I know he was only trying to help.

Back to the topic at hand. It appears the hold up on the 1% driver is that people are having an issue pulling the proper files from the tilt2's because of write protection or something......so looks like this is in limbo while people smarter than me attempt to help the rest of us.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cincy1020:
Hi:

I installed the attached cab driver, and it seemed to work fine for me, with no side effects.

I found it with one of the Brian taskbars (gfreek edition), which by the way looked amazing, but the signal icon didn't get replaced with the new one.

Hope this helps :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] enisoc:
The fix you posted is for when the notification manager and the battery icon show values that are 1% away from each other. This thread is about a different issue, namely getting a 1% driver that works on the stock Tilt2 ROM. Thanks for the fix though; I think I have that problem also. I once saw my notification say 0% (when the battery driver was rejected) while the icon showed 1%.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
I had one on Orange but i have returned it due to only 500mb of internet and i prefer black :)

Just a few questions please :) ...

When i get it will it need to be updated ? (My orange one did, if so where will it be updated)

What do people find the speeds of internet like in the north west of England ? (With orange it was almost always on HSDPA, should i expect the same with T)

Also if the signal is not too good is there a way of boosting it ?

Does anyone know of a proper pouch designed around the Hero/G2 ?

Thats it for now thanks :)

James
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choccy31:
Yes you can update by going to the t-mob forum and the links are all there :-)

It is easy, I did last week.

T-Mob seems to be 3G at present, no one knows why, but it changed recently.

Saying that it's pretty quick, but it will depend on T-mob signal where you are, tough to question.

I got a skin of amazon for about £3 it is fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Firstly thanks for the reply,

Secondly i will ask them when i ring for it tomorrow telling them i wanted the fasted internet they can provide (depending on whether they can offer varied speeds altho i doubt they can)

Also what do you mean it changed recently, did it used to be HSDPA and now its only 3G ?

Also do you mind me asking what region your from please :)

Also any chance you could provide me with a link to the update as it would help others on here too :)

Thanks

James

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I'm definitely seeing 3G as opposed to HSDPA more frequently these days, but I presumed this was to do with me changing to a later radio ROM. Is there a known issue here?

Thanks,

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Yeah we could do with looking into this, i think i may start a thread asking all orange users what they see more frequently and what all tmobile customers see more frequently.

Then we could compile a bar chart :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterpfa:
As a T-Mobile customer mostly seeing 3G where I live, but this has always been a bad area for mobile phone reception.

I live in NW London and I receive 3G reception 75% of the time with HSDPA only for 20% and neither for the remaining 5% of the time
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:

Good to know tho :).

Also when i receive it tomorrow whats the best thing i can do charge wise ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choccy31:
I'm in London (South) and it was always HDSA on my SE but it suddenly changed about 4 weeks ago to 3G only all the time.

Cheers James
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pillock:
Bear in mind - if you get the latest firmware from the T-mobile website, then it makes it MUCH harder to root and install custom kernels and firmwares. I did the upgrade on my G2 just after I got it, and then tried to root - once I ran into problems, I read more into it and it would have been much easier pre-update.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Cheers mate, can i root then update ?

Rather than update then root ?

Also after you did the update did you start seeing G rather than H or ... ?

Cheers James
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pillock:
I think because the Hero update is an RUU flash rather than an over-the-air update it'll cancel the rooting if you update after root.

And if you update before root it then becomes very difficult to root - although the 'gold card' method seems to still work, I've not tried it personally.

I'm sure I had the H before the update, but I certainly get G or H now depending on signal. Can't remember seeing a G before the update, but I only had it two days before the update came out.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
I rooted my G1 about 5 days ago using instant root and was hoping to do the same with this :P

Can a root be reversed if so how hard is this ?

Cheers

Hallo, ich habe die HTC ROM 6.5 frisch installiert auf einem TD2 und wollte die Uhr transparent setzen mit GlassClock_V1.cab (hab auch GlassClockBack_v2 probiert).

Leider sieht jetzt meine Startseite wie im Attachment aus.

a) Keine Transparenz

b) Die Texte (bewölkt...) sind durch die keys IDS_HOME... ersetzt

Hab gesucht, konnte nicht wirklich etwas finden dazu. Kennt jemand das Problem, und was kann man da tun (außer hard reset) denn es sieht so ziemlich erbärmlich aus :-)

Translation:

Hi, I've installed the HTC ROM 6.5 freshly on my Touch Diamond 2 and I want to make the clock transparent using GlassClock_V1.cab ( I also tried GlassClockBack_v2)

Unfortunately my homescreen still looks like the image in the attachment.

I looked, but couldn't really find a solution. Does anyone know this problem, if so, is there anything to fix this (apart from a hard reset). Because it looks weird...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadedrachen:
Sorry, first post

Almost, I'm driving a BMW :)

My problem is the transparence of the HTC clock with the new 6.5 ROM (from HTC) and the glassclock cab. It worked perfect with 6.1 and after the new ROM installation I installed the same glassclock cab but

1) the clock is not transparent

2) The texts on the start screen are not translated and only the xml keys are displayed. On the weather screen the texts are ok. I mean, only the location was displayed before the cab installation but I'm not so sure.

I was quite surprised but I couldn't find a similar problem with the google search, only a missing spanish translation for the IDS_HOME keys. Would be great if somebody could help because it looks quite ugly with the keys. Sorry again for the teutonic accent...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Andre1210:
the same problem

Hello,

is there a solution to this problem?

I have the same problem. If have the new official HTC 6.5 ROM and used advanced config 3.3 to customize.

Now I have the same IDS_HOME displays on my clock.

regards

Andre
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadedrachen:
Partly solved

Hello André, just for your information. The problem with the IDS_HOME keys is coming from the wochentag.cab (holyfox day-time). If you remove this cab the texts are then displayed as expected. But I have still no solution for the transparency of the clock.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyEye:
Alright a few days I had the specs in my sig and then Hero kept looping in the beginning (when the little Android pops up). So I just reflashed into the same rom after wiping (I keep all my roms on SD just in case a rom messes up when I'm out) but the sd couldn't mount. I realized the SD was corrupt (using a separate card reader) Formated the card and put MLIGN's Hero rom but wouldn't work, so I reset everything and put the default bootloader and rom on the phone and it worked (although I lost root)

So later I rerooted my phone and used this recovery 11-Oct-2009

I flashed into the T-Mobile 1.6 USA Rom thats in the forums here, I cannot find it as of now but I saw it earlier.

Today I decided to flash into a new rom and everytime I flash into a new rom I get errors saying "E:Failure at line43: set_perm 0 0 04755 SYSTEM:xbin/sqlite3"

I tried using the recovery image to partition my SD card but it wouldn't work and told me to run a console command that didn't even work.

Any help

- I do not have any partitions on my SD card

- My sd card is Formated

- poop

any help will be appreciated thanks

Alright, it still doesn't install roms but I installed the official update 1.6 (with root) but I cannot access the camera. All it does when I press and hold the camera button (or go through the interface) is go blurry and wait about a minute then reboot the phone... I really cannot reflash into this rom again considering I don't have data and I'm not sure how much it would cost to log into GMail everytime I reflash (AT&T rates). I do not know how many kbs it uses to register with the google servers or how much ATT charges per kb.
