Recently, I downloaded the latest htc wwe rom for my T-mobile US branded Touch Pro 2. I liked it, but it seemed like there was a lot of crap that just didn't need to be there. So I decided to create my own rom.

This is a solid, STABLE rom, but it's version 1, revision 1. I'll be making changes to this, but so far, it's off to a good start.

To start with:

HTC's latest shipped rom

removed co-pilot gps(choose your own)

removed radio(available as a cab)

removed audio booster(wired headphones what?)

removed facebook app(available as a cab)

removed google maps(available as a cab)

removed windows live(available as a cab)

removed msn messenger(available as a cab)

removed 'getting started'(who needs this?)

removed adobe reader(available as a cab)

removed jetcet presenter(I'll never use it, probably available as a cab)

removed jblend(waste of space for me)

MMS send and receive limits have been set for T-mobile US(no more small pictures)

NOTE: You'll have to manually set the T-mobile MMS Server to http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc (like I said, this is my first revision, this will be set automatically soon)

After a day of use, I idle around 60% memory usage, which isn't too bad. In future revisions, I'll be looking to reduce that number. However, if you disable manila and use the default WM home screen, that drops to about 45%

ROM FTP Link

The username is xda and there's no password.

Instructions are the same for any rom, just make sure you have an activesync connection, and run the rom update utility.

This is my first foray into the rom cooking world. If you like my work, and would like to show your support, consider donating.

Hi InGeNeTiCs

I assume you're going to post a download link in post #2. Oh, no, this is post #2!

Cheers

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Ha! Way to steal my 2nd post! Anyways, I'm working on setting up a download profile on my ftp server for xda users. I should have it done by 1pm eastern time. (that's in my first post, by the way) ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sleonard:
Just to be clear this is based upon the unbranded WWE and you are customizing it for the US TMo or did you somehow get access to the US TMo 6.5 image that has yet to be released?

S
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
This is the unbranded htc rom. I wouldn't want the t-mobile rom anyways...to much junk in it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] guntcent:
hey do you have a kitchen or what man you wanna share that with us
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm not sure I understand the question. You want to know if I used a kitchen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NexVision:
No ROM there...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Are you sure you're doing it right? There's a file called SGM10R1.zip in there. I tested it from different locations, it'd definitely there.

Try this: go to internet explorer and paste ftp://xda@sgmediainc.com

You should see the file then. Remember, if it asks for a password, leave it blank and just click ok.

EDIT: My mistake, I forgot to increase the amount of concurrent users on my server, it's usually set at 4. Lol. It should work fine now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] NexVision:
Yup its visible now... When u gonna be dropping v2? Also I believe his question about the kitchen was would u post the one your using.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Probably by the end of the weekend. I have a few tweaks to drop memory usage that I want to put in there, and the facebook sync in contacts isn't working because apparently I removed it by accident. So hopefully sometime before sunday. I'll update the main post when it happens though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ubcjack:
Thanks for the ROM~

Do we need to hard SPL unlock before flashing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Yes. Standard ROM flashing rules apply. Hardspl is a must.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
hey nice rom it works great on tmo tp2 i love it but when i hit the call button and then hit the contacts tab it doesnt go to contacts it stays in the same screen and also does the 3g work on this rom or do i have to set the settings or something
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm glad you enjoy it. The second revision is basically the same as the first, with some speed enhancements. I JUST found that issue tonight. Apparently when manilla is running it takes over certain aspects of the os, like contacts and calendar. It'll do the same thing if you press 'all people' in the 'people' tab. I'm not sure why, because I didn't mess with any of the contact stuff. I'll keep you posted though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
also i forgot to mention that the gps is not working when i try to use google maps and the my location either. i dont know if its turned off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I haven't experienced this problem. As a matter of fact, I was using tomtom the other night to get myself to a friend's wedding. If this is your first time using the gps after you flashed, run quick gps and then open google maps and make sure 'use gps' is selected. Then just leave it on the window sill for a few minutes(making sure it isn't sleeping). The first gps fix can take a few, even with quick gps.

Though, I will say the touch pro 2 is very slow to get a gps fix in general. My tilt was faster. :-/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
ok I'm doing that as I type this to you. so you telling me that your my location works fine on your home screen. and also my alt key doesn't work on the keyboard
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Yes. My location is 100 percent functional. The only reason I can see that it wouldn't work is if it can't find your actual location...but I'm not even sure that's possible, as it uses a different database for that. Does it not show up at all, or does it show 'my location', and then the weather data?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
nope nothing still i did the quick gps and then left it on google maps for about 8min now and still searching for satelite at times it says updating location but then quickly goes back to searching for satelite
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
That's really strange. I've always experienced mixed results with google maps. If it doesn't work, I'd just close it and try again. Then it would work. It has great potential, but they're basically marketing it as a half-assed gps system with all their 'location services'. I would think that it's more google not working than the actual gps, try downloading a demo of tomtom or copilot or something?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
do you have gps fix cab and a keyboard fix cab for this rom or maybe the v2 of this rom will fix those issues because im really only having 3 problems and thats the gps and my location not working the alt key on the keyboard not working and the contacts list not showing up if you could fix does issue on v2 or provide a cab for them it would be helpful because i only get weekends to flash roms onto my phone im very busy during the week so a cab would be nice
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
ok i can get weather on the home screen working when i enter the city im in but my location does not work nor my gps
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Did you try turning on htc location services in settings?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
Yea that already came on with the rom i dont know why its not working do you have the cab to telenav for tp2 because i know on the stock rom telenav always worked even when google maps had no signal
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I don't have telenav unfortunately. The htc shipped rom came with a demo of co-pilot. You can get a free 30 day trial of telenave directly from them though. https://store.telenav.com/newstore/DeviceGroupLoad.do?source=hppath_a
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
Ok i tried it but it keeps saying weak signal to move into a. open space and when i went outside i still get the same measage
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
Where do i go in settings to check if my gps is on or not
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Location services is one of them. The other is gps settings, but that should be fine because there aren't really any settings that you can mess with.

I've never experienced any longterm gps issues with my rom. The only time I had an issue was when tomtom didn't get a signal one time, and all i did to fix it was close it and reopen it.

I'm seeing in the forums that some people are having issues with gps in roms where others are not. I'll look into it further for you. It's just hard to troubleshoot when it's working for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
What about the keyboard alt button not working how do i fix that and is that something that you are also experiecing or is it just me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. There's a cabfile for that in the forums here. The touch pro 2 is mapped differently than the t-mobile touch pro 2.

I'll try and round up the fixes and put them into r2. My wife is pregnant so I'm on slave duty 24/7. Sorry to neglect you guys like this. I'll try and finish r2 tonight.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
Lol how funny my wife is pregnant also so i understand the neglection wish you the best of luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Thanks, I appreciate your understanding. I'm trying to juggle a pregnant wife, my business, clients, research, personal time, as well as time for my kids. Who knew life would be so hectic?

In any case, I've stumbled on some interesting stuff today, so I'll probably be up late tonight tinkering. Hopefully I'll have all this stuff sorted soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
lol im just appreciative that you like others put time out of your daily life to cook roms
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] optykal:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550559 <-- there's your link to the tmobile keyboard cab fixes :)

Woo, my first actual post instead of just lurking and reading :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
thamks for the link

will you be able to let me know whats the zip program that lets you extract rar file and can i download it from
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Good news. I'm currently finalizing V2 of this rom, and EVERYTHING is working. The keyboard is mapped properly, the mms settings are all set properly with the wsp header set to the htc rhodium(not an n95), facebook integration is working, my location is working, and the 'all people' button on the people tab is working now.

I just finished tonight, so tomorrow I'll do some more testing of gps, and do the finishing touches on the rom. Right now I still need to run one cab file after the rom is finished. I'd like to get it so it's just a flash and go rom for T-mobile US customers. :-)

Keep it locked here for more info!

EDIT: And I forgot to mention, I didn't forget about you guys...My wife had our baby this week so I've been really busy with the new baby and helping my wife recover. I'm back now, and ready to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
kool congrats and thanks for still putting time into us because i know my wife didnt even let me watch tv when our 1st was born
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Ya...my work revolves around computers anyways, so sitting at a computer is nothing out of the ordinary to her. I have until next tuesday off, so I'll be jumping on here to work on the rom every chance I get.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] LJKelley:
The only thing I would recommend is see if you can somehow put the T-Mobile My Account app in it. That would very useful for those of us who use it to check remaining minutes or balances etc..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JonFolse:
Ditto. This might be my first ROM I flash on my newly delivered tmobile tp2!! Keep us updated plz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
maybe your next rom after this one could be a 6.5.1
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm going to keep cooking as long as roms are available. I'd like to get at least one solid, stable rom out before I start experimenting though.

As for the t-mobile app, while I might not include it in the rom, I will look into getting it from the shipped rom and including it as a cab, or possibly as a separate rom all together(just to make things simple).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sljwampa:
the tmobile my account is available as a cab. If you can't find it I will post a link to it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Unfortunately, I didn't even look, so I'm 90 percent done with my own cab file. Thanks anyways though
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Added cabfile to first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ariel123:
is this v2 rom based on 6.5 ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] InGeNeTiCs:
Yes, both versions are 6.5. Were you thinking 6.5.1? Because that's the version that they're saying is going to be most like windows phone 7.

In any case, my server will be down tonight. I'm doing a crapload of maintenance, and part of that involves a fresh install of the new windows server 2008. Mainly because I want to test out all the new functionality and try and get exchange 2010 up and going, TONS of new stuff!! (thank you MSDN!!)

It'll go offline sometime in the next hour or two but it should be back up tomorrow.

http://www.newscientist.com/article...-will-your-smartphone-rat-you-out.html?page=1

^sooner or later a lot of us using this forum will sell the old smartphone and upgrade or buy new ones... but a lot of personal info is still inside the built-in memory of the phone itself (not SIM card, although that too).

how do you completely erase everything so that the new buyer or whomever the next person who owns the phone won't recover your personal data?

even a reformat, reinstalling a new cooked ROM won't do it. this will need some type of low level writing of blank bits into the memory itself. are there any tool that will 'clean' your old cell phone before you resell it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] josephcowan:
Secuwipe

I use Secuwipe from http://www.aikosolutions.com/

Similar to the PC program by Webroot, Windowasher, Secuwipe can run through your memory and cards overwriting random noise.

"SecuWipe is data wiping software that completely removes all traces of sensitive data from your mobile device. If you are selling or donating a Pocket PC, or if you just need to wipe some of the strictly confidential files, then SecuWipe is the tool for you. SecuWipe will securely erase contacts, email, SMS, temporary files, browsing history, files, folders and memory cards. SecuWipe overwrites data with U.S. DoD (Department of Defense) compliant methods thus making data truly erased and unrecoverable."

Hope this helps. I use it to remove business contacts and emails related to client information as I have SOX contracts. This insures that I don't pass on client sensitive information if I sell or donate old phones.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -Jonny-:
Do a hard reset.

Delete anything from Storage (in memory) if you have it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JediFonger:
thanks man =). that's what i was looking for.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tstack77:
The CDMA version is having issues with the phone's status displaying as 100% awake time after sending a text message. It is thought that a text triggers a lock on the dialer to remain awake even after putting the phone to sleep, leading to the horrid 12 hour battery life with our Heroes. Using Spare Parts we can see that the dialer is near 100% of the Partial wake usage once a text is sent. We are fairly positive that this is the culprit, but I have yet to read if anyone has actually checked the other version.

To rule out another cause, would any of you out there with a GSM hero check/test if this is the same for you?

The simple test is to:

1. restart the device

2. send a text (using the default HTC app)

3. check your awake time status (settings-->about phone-->status-->awake time)

4. put the phone to sleep for a few minutes

5. check again

Thank you

HERE is the thread with the problem if you care to read up on it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immya:
hi, been sending texts all day and havnt had a problem on my gsm hero

up time is at 42.43.22

awake time : 12.29.55 (29%)

after restarting and sending a text, i waited a few minutes and checked again

up time 8 mins

awake time 7.27 (92%)

so no problem there

on a side note,when i brought the hero it had crap battery life, less than a working day but after an update all was fine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tstack77:
Thanks for the info. It seems like we need an update as well :)

Do you by chance have Spare Parts installed and can check on the "Partial wake usage"?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] immya:
yeah

just to let you know

up time is now 1.54.37

awake time is 0.29.30 (26%)

now to spare parts partial wake usage

android system 3mins 29 secs

net counter(app) 51 secs

facebook 40 secs

dialer 36 secs

i have end button behaviour set as " go to sleep"

phone hasnt really been used much since i booted it last
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tstack77:
Great! Thanks again for all the help.

And the fact that you haven't used the phone much in the last few hours exactly demonstrates our ****ty problem :cool:
