great work, I've been after a Rhodium vanilla series for a while

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afr33s:
I think I have found the ROM I didn't even know I was looking for;)

Thanks kwbr, this ROM hits the spot. Seems smooth and stable and complete, not like the other ROMs out there chasing the latest builds of everything bringing in the latest bugs with everything too!

:)

I don't think Manila 2.5 (especially the landscape images and music tabs) will ever work well on the HD because the HD2 has better spec's... so it's good to get the best of what is out there for similar spec' phones and port it to the HD. Nice one.

Turn off screen

When picking up call, just smash the phone on your face real hard a few time until it cracks. Then your screen will be "sleep" permanently.. :D LOL... just kidding.... Don't try this :p

Instead,

Try HD Tweak.... Set

Fast Sleep = Enabled

Sleep = Allow

Light Sensor = Enabled

and SoftReset

For Market Place... just download from Microsoft website.

For those that want the 1% battery indicator displayed in the taskbar try this:

It works fine on this rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
Exactly. And guess what it does, it replaces the default phcanOverbmp.dll from the hTC phone canvas package. Including this regkeys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
"BaseId"=dword:00000000
"BatteryIconIdStart"=dword:000003e9
"BatteryIconLevels"=dword:00000065

P.s. if you want to play around with the taskbar take a look at ppcgeeks or search xda for custom taskbar icons.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BigDaemon:
Hi guys,

can anyone tell me how much % of RAM this Rom uses after Softreset and some hours of working??

Because most of the ROMs i found and tried were at 55%+

Thats why i run @Stock-ROM at the moment, 43% after 1 Day of work, ~50% with some programs running in background
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] kwbr:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:0

Never had problems with that ng and I use notes. I always remove an existing device from windows mobile device center before a first sync with a newly flashed device.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Blessed HD:
Thanks kwbr..

I tried that before, but it didn't work out for me; when I set the value to 0 niether the clock nor the the battery shows.. It left a blank space!! :confused:

You know what did work though....

Today I installed SPB Mobile Shell after I tweaked the registry, & the battery icon appeared! :D

I guess this had something to do with the language pack or some other application I'm using, because it happened with the previouse ROM version as well.. the ROM is just wonderful though!

Sorry to go off-topic, & thanks for your great work.. ;)

Hi,

i tought it might me my packed up Sashimi from 6.1. But after a few minutes the system hang up completly (no booting anymore). So i did a hardreset and synced first - the same. Everythings fine exept notes. After some PC restarts and try syncing again finally it works.

videos not woring

Using the latest rom and have noticed that the video player through album is useless.

The screen is locked on 'loading' for about 2 minutes, then the sound starts but not the video. Once the video actually shows up it is choppy, laggy, and not watchable.

Any ideas why this is?

P.S. I flashed from stock 1.56.401 rom to this one, hard reset once, and soft reset several times
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufeig:
before anything else, thanks kwbr for this rom. it's the first vanilla rom i've used, and it is lightning fast & stable!

i'd like to mention that the weather animations are very smooth (until now, since i've been using 09.11.23 rom for a few hours), but total commander does not work properly.

it looks like a video driver issue, because menus are shown completely messy.

reading tlerner's post makes me believe the video drivers have some issues...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufeig:
hellom my friend,

i've used album player to test video playback.

it worked flawlessly playing a bee movie MP4 file encoded using the MP4 encoder provided in the 'themes, applications and software' section of this forum.

could you be more specific about the file(s) you tried to play?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lufeig:
I didn't develop any of the files attached, so credits for their respective authors (sorry, i don't know who they are), but i've tested them and they do work.

one is for wm65 start menu and the highlighted background. just copy them to the windows folder and soft reset. if you don't want the highlighted background, just don't copy them!

the other one is for the program menu (manila start menu or programs tab) and 'all programs' menu.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jigners:
some strange things happening with Nov 23 release, logging in facebook is acting in unusual manner, video made with the HTC Touch HD Video encoder V1.21 is choppy, could be related to the new screen drivers?

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bat0nas:
Does this ROM support screen rotation by default or should I install extra applications for rotation?

I usually need rotation for: messaging.

I'm used to Dutty's ROMs. And all my applications are rotating by themselves (like tomtom, garmin) without installing any software (I think it's built in Dutty's ROMs).

What about this ROM. Do I need anything extra?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] gbjack:
For SMS there is auto rotation. The Call green button is configured to rotate after a long press.

video choppy

I mentioned earlier that playing videos is close to impossible.

I do use (ONLY) HD video encoder which I downloaded from this site. It always worked flawlessly, not to mention that the quality of those videos is usually superb. I often bragged to my friends about the HD quality on my phone, even better than on my HD LCD TV?!

Something is wrong with the video drivers.

Other than that, this ROM is so clean, responsive and fast (almost as fast as stock 1.56 rom)....thank you

Playing video with Coreplayer and without HTC sense will have problems. But playing the same video on Windows Media Player seems ok. To stop WM6.5 unlock delay, create a file "welcome.not" and throw it into the Root of your storage card before flashing. This skips the align screen process and viola, the delay is also gone.

Rhodium Port to Blackstone

thanks Kwbr for giving us the MOST Stable and Fastest ROM, you have now taken the place in me that Dutty Throy has vacated!

TBH, i may wander off sometimes to test Man 2.5 ROMs but since Holy Grail and XannyTech 2.2, I've come to the conclusion that the Blackstone's hardware capabilities are ill suited to run HD2 Sense, unless great improvement could be done with extender (Xanny is doing a good job at this) I think there is still a lot to go with tweaking and matching drivers yet to be done in able for Man2.5 Sense to run as fast as Man 2.1 Sense we are enjoying with the Rhodium Port.

What really attracted me to the Vanilla series was that my friend ask me to upgrade his Rhodium in my PC online with Vodafone, and after backing up everything, done this successfully, and I had the joy and chance to see Win 6.5 and Man 2.1 Sense run on it. I was waiting for a while for somebody to Cook something that would run very closely like it, so I went trying Dutty R14, R15, and Holy Grail Sense 2.1 R0, even Miri Rev 29 to 31, but TBH IMO the Vanilla 15Nov surpasses them all. So this is difinetly for keeps. That doesnt mean that, that is the end of my flashing habit, but I just wish now I have two Blackstone, one with the 15Nov and the other one for testing, but I am considering upgrading to the HD2 sometime in a couple of months, so . . . there we are, thats my story.:D

anyone out there that may stumble upon this, I recommend 15Nov Vanilla Rhodium.

PS. Kwbr, if you dont mind, can I make a mirror of this ROM for others to have a chance to enjoy your creation? :D thanks.

I have been using this rom for about 3 hours now and i am as well impressed. Fast, stable and WM 6.5 is all i could ask for!

I just noticed a minor bug. I use PimBackup to backup-restore my SMS when flashing my HD. When i restored my messages after instalation at the Manila Messaging (the one that displays threaded conversation of the messages with a single contact) they apear seperately the sent and the received, while they should be sorted chronologically. I was using the Topix 3.1.2 Before and had no such issue.

Other than that it is a perfect rom and i am very pleased with it. If there is a registry edit or other fix for the above problem please someone let me know.
