When i cook this beta and apply the rom to my phone everything goes well. but when i go to flash to another rom the custum ruu says my battery is lower than 50% when i know its not. i have to go into bootloader mode to flash. this only happens on the 2011 beta packages. does anyone know whats causing this? also i still cant get the messaging tab to do anything. i have contact picker included
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Does the phone report the right battery percentage with 2011 while you're using it? If not, you might have the wrong driver in there somewhere in one of the packages. The same thing happened to me awhile back.

Great work amarullz! The phone canvas sounds really nice :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
as a matter of fact it doesnt. my taskbar icon says 100 but under settings it is really low. what driver does this concern?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
It could be something having to do with the taskbar icons. But to get around this just softboot into bootscreen mode and flash from there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
Its not the icons because it just does this on my 2011 beta ROM. Im wanting to add my beta rom to my thread thats why im trying to figure it outherwise I would just go into bootloader. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ted973:
You're a genius,Manila Phone Canvas sounds like a wonderful thing!

i also have some issue with weather tab. i can't update my location, when i press "Update" in Weather tab. i can only add new city and update wheather for it. what package can cause this problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hefman:
Amarullz,

Here's a little something for the great work you've done so far. Test3 is showing great progress.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
It's necessary to enable "My Location", as Throwback wrote. On my ROM for some reason, when I try to do this from the home or weather tab, there are no buttons to accept or decline. But if I go to the Settings tab > Data Services I'm able to get it enabled, and then my location updates in Weather tab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
So, fixed the weather tab issue, now I have a persistent problem with 23518 threaded mail and enhanced menu. When I attempt to open the menu from the windows message client, the phone appears to hang, then a corrupted, all black version of the menu opens - but if I try to press any menu items it disappears. Menus work fine everywhere else.

Could this be a fundamental incompatibility with 23518?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] epty:
thank you. i've found buttons accept & decline when i go to landscape :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Thanks :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
thanks.

a quick question...

i really want to edit the manila file that comes with htc messaging client 1.5.2011 since it works really fast. the only thing i would like to change is to make it fit a little better to vga since every time u would want to write a message from a contact on manila u can't always see what u write.

i guess i'm asking u where i would find the tools to do that... and if u think it's dumb to refer me to it since it's insanely complicated... maybe u can take a look at that. after using that i think we dont really need the mode for "no messaging client" since htc messaging actually works good now.

thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
Nice review captain :)

those are interesting plans..

and nice progress thank you amarullz.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teixeirabmb:
Unfortunately this Leo Kitchen has Sense 2.51920 version not 2.520X version. :(

Can anyone share a link for the original WVGA Sence 2.520X version to cook with this new Test4 amarullz package?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoceltic:
maybe this could help you.

Sense2.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IgorVl:
Other languages

Where I can find the other languages for 2.5.2011? For example 0419?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teixeirabmb:
Thank you so much.

Flashing it now!! ;)

EDIT: Unfornately it didn't work with me. Sense isn't launching...

I've to check all packages versions
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
omgg amarullz thatt soundss amazingg....still was never happy by the operation of the phone canvas these days...

justt curious iss this something your creating independently? Or is this something thats already included in the manilla topaz/leo interface and ur jus gnna port it? What phone canvas is it going to be based off of?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoceltic:
Same here, Manila restarts at every tapped tab! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Did you guys included all the required packages?

StartIconLoader (*important)

Concurrence_Mgr

DRM_Middleware

zlibce_m
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
It's amarullz's creation, HTC has never made this, all the things called mod are the author's own creation. It's not based on any phone canvas, just based on Manila 2.5 and amarullz develops it, from scratch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
wowww....thats amazingg...i gotta see that then...that must bee amazing especially since were not porting it from a wvga dialer down to vga...

Sense 2.5.20113030 CFC

I've been requested to share my CFC'ed WVGA Sense 2.5.2011 packages. So, here they are (you can re-number them however you want):

Sense 2.5.20113030 CFC

Also included is the VGA Manila Mail files from amarullz's TEST4 package, CFC'ed (it's the only ported package with graphics). Hopefully this helps everybody. I actually don't notice a big difference using the CFC version; in fact, it may be the same or slower :confused:.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
heyy captain...why u think it slows it down??

also just wondering...u said u cfc'd the entire? packages from the 2011...but in the vga files u only cfc'd the mail files...whys that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Thank you my friend.

Will test this out later and see how it works out.

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
No idea - I think I got used to the speed of the old port on my device. But I don't think I'm the best person to judge, since one of my ROM users says it's faster :rolleyes:.

And, ummm, I think already answered the question about the VGA files :confused: (see the parenthetical portion of my post).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
ahh yess i get it...sorry and thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sentenza:
Many Thanks Captain for this package !

And off course Many Many thanks Amarullz for your big great job with the Manila 2.5 !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Qui-Gon Ginn:
Hi all, hi programatix's,

Do you think you could hack the new htc album.exe to be in the good position?

I tried to cook it but there's always a black portion on the top :(

Anyways , i have made no post , so i will do it now :

Amar : Congratss 1. For your wife 2.For the port :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neroko:
I been trying to port Albam 3.5 for like 2 days now and its driving me nutz. I want it but that black bar is driving me nutz. I can change everything else but that, I got thumbnail looking good. I mean i'm new to porting but its really not that hard to do from what I see and have done. Im not going to give up, one way or another, I will fix it :D

(My next step is to break down the Albam "exe", I think its somewhere in there)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i wish u can pull it off...

i think everyone gave up on 3.2 version and the black rectangle thing a long time ago... maybe if u can find it in the exe... that would be good..

i dont know how to mess with exe's... but while u do that... sorry for making a request... may u can take a look at groupeditor.... i never got it to work also.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
best of luck man....that would be awesome if u can
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
Thanks Captain!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
here is fully ported packages to vga.

i didn't include all since i couldn't get all to work.

includes:

aGPS_Confirmation_1_0_20111829_00

AppointmentEditor_1_0_20111623_0

Contact_Picker_1_0_20113132_00

DeviceInfo_2_7_1_0

Email_Setup_Wizard_2_3_20111731_30

HTCBookmark_1_0_20111623_0

HTCGeoService_1_0_19222811_00

Menu_Enhancement_1_1_20113129_00

Message_Enhancement_1_2_19224032_00

New_Contact_Card_1_1_20112332_0

Power_3_5_1_1

Settings_Improvement_1_0_20111623_0

SharedResource_1_0_20111720_00

i ported them and resized all images so they can fit the screen in landscape also... i think i got about 99% of all options in the packages tested and there shouldn't be any issues.

for some reason menu enhancement doesn't work well with 6.5.x builds. if some else have a fix... please post.

i couldn't get group editor to work... never could get it right ever since 2.5 exists.

please let me know if u guys notice anything that doesn't fit landscape or portrait so i can try and fix it.

i hope that helps some people who needs it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
I'm experiencing the weirdest thing... After cooking in these newer updated packages, I'm getting a ROM Update Code error. Image file corrupt.

I doubt it's the packages but I thought I'd point this out to see if anyone else is having any similar issues.

EDIT:: I just rebuilt the same exact ROM with LZX compression enabled instead of XPR and the ROM flashed successfully. I have a feeling that the NBH file(181mb) was too big to be flashed to an AT&T Fuze. With LZX compression it brought it down to a more normal 157mb NBH file which flashed perfectly fine. The ROM's booting up as we speak. Thanks aamikam for your excellent and hard work.

-Dan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
goood good good stuff here man...just curious as to what else we migt need to port over?

Also just checking this are the full vga ext packages correct? Or are they just the add-ons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Hmmm, maybe I'll try looking into it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oaa8:
I feel that your problem may be related to something else. Although I've been playing around with a blackstone and haven't flashed my fuze since early January, I've been using the uncompressed ImgfsFromDump.exe which makes my NBH file about 330MB. I don't know too much about how the phones handle these compression levels but maybe something weird happened when you were cooking.

EDIT: Are you flashing from SD or from the Rom Update utility?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
I'm using the new IMGFSFromDUMP.exe(v2.0 turbo) and until cooking in the new packages I never had a problem. I think that the NBH file breaking 180mb was what caused the error because after running the same exact build through my kitchen using LZX compression, the ROM flashed fine. It's no big deal. Everything is working GREAT now.

EDIT: Flashing from ROM Update Utility on my PC.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oaa8:
I like the turbo version but I can't find one that does it without compression. I think that I read somewhere that the LZX compression sacrifices speed/performance for space so you may want to keep that in mind if later on. That's why I've opted for uncompressed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Yeah I've actually known that for a long time. I haven't seen enough of a performance decrease using the new IMGFSfromDUMP.exe and LZX to really concern me though. Everything is working as it should so for now this will work for me. I prefer to have more storage space but not at the sacrifice of performance so if performance was really an issue for me I would definitely go back to the older tools.

Thanks for your concerns though man. Most people would have just ignored my posts. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
yes... full packages.

i forgot to add my converted social networks....

will do later.

and like i said before i got group editor xml's converted also but it doesn't work for me and never did.

i think there is also issues with contact picker 1922 and 2011... just won't work... not for me anyways...

album 3.5 would be great, i think that mediatoolkit doesn't need conversion but is completely useless if u not using album 3.2 or 3.5. i think notification enh would be nice also. and messaging client works good and fit vga (i'm not sure if i changed anything on it or not to make it fit) but i mentioned before that u can write but can't always see what u write.

another thing that would be good to have is ezinput 2011 which actually works perfect in portrait but landscape i messed up.

there are more packages to convert like: full screen player, audio booster, random access(which works but not perfect) ,streaming media... theres probably more but some are needed and some are really a matter of "how much u want them"...

anyways... personally i think album 3.5 should be the biggest priority.

edit: i forgot to mention that programatix converted commgr to vga also:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5559896#post5559896

many thanks to him for that and again... for xmlgui which makes everything a lot more simple and faster.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
since u r a touch pro user... u are probably the best judge of landscape mode, so let me know if u see something funky.

i'm sure i did everything good with the xml's... im just a little afraid i might have missed something on resizing some images.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
@amarullz: What do the registry keys: tabControl.Animation and tabControl.Timeout in Manila Core VGA do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
Here is the package i forgot.... social networks 2011 converted to vga also.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ted973:
Thx for share!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
@programatix

here is one kind of error i get with xmlgui sometimes:

************** Exception Text **************
System.Xml.XmlException: 'FriendlyName' is a duplicate attribute name. Line 49, position 45.

maybe u know a way around it so i won't have to manually txt edit it.

edit: i just erased the errors like u said previously...

my new question is... do i have to put the things i took out back even though they existed twice once before?

edited to take less space
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
sorry if i repost... u guys might have seen it before... cookiemonster's work on sense 2.5.

maybe that can be added to us vga users as well as other mods at some point:

http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/sense-25-home-tab-mod-48-quick-links-more-appointments

and one more thing i would love to see on in the future is an actual call history on the home screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BlackFriar:
As Chainfire has explained, CFC is a net gain as decompression speed is greater than disk access/speed.

There is a cross-over point after which CFC would slow down the interface, but as the CFC algorithm and CPU/Memory resources are constant in our cases, the only way is to effectively speed up access speeds by optimizing the file access.

If HTC really accomplished this, I seriously question.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Show-hide animation registry in landscape mode (when you tap show tabs on bottom left of your landscape mode).

tabControl.Animation = 0 ; will disable the animation, 1..n was framerate used for animation

tabControl.Timeout ; n Second before the tab in landscape auto hide.

Here is my Stop Manila from Flipping 01:02 tweak for the newest Topaz Manila 2.5, no more bugs like stuck, or strange behaviours!

PS: Thanks kimi_sae_ireba for his decompilation though I didn't use it in the final version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Thanks! Got it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
The exception line seems to suggest that at Line 49, position 45, there is an attribute with the name "FriendlyName". It appeared more than once in that particular object. Remove the duplicate.

You do not need to put it back in because it's a bug on HTC's part. Weird thing is, this bug has been there since the first leaked Leo package.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sentenza:
Many Tnks Man, this is great !

I'll Try it soon !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
here is an updated vga package which includes also:

USB_To_PC_Pop_Up_2_3_20111720_00

Social_Networks_Engine_1_1_20111727_00

i also updated some of the other packages so who ever is using my packages should update since i left out some changes to landscape in some of the previous packages(i think only agps, and geo).

all u guys should note that im not resizing portrait mode to make it fit the screen... i just make sure we can scroll to get where we want to get without missing any available options.

thats a nice trick i got from experimenting.

for all u guys who work on converting to vga... notice a thing called "Scene" at the top of each group in the xml code.

in some packages it is sometimes needed to make bigger so u would be able to scroll down a little more and see all the options. by making it bigger the amount of scrolling actually grows bigger so u can go lower on any screen.

please note that this will only work for portrait and not landscape since we can't really scroll left and right and only up and down.

so that means that the only real resizing and moving objects around takes place in landscape.

thats just an explanation on how i do things, of course im also using xmlgui for probably 95% of what i've done.

i hope that once everyone will be sure that my packages work as close as possible to perfect on vga and manila 2011 will be complete, i think amarulz can put them up in post 4 and 5.

please try to report something that doesn't work.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Sure I will update it after the port finished. currently the EXT in this thread was for 1921 & download post still contain 192x files only...

Thanks for the port :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
thanks.

i haven't even tried out manila 2011 yet...

i like things to be perfect. thats why you will see me update a lot (twice a day) just to make sure everything is perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoceltic:
Thanx man, I update those packages to 2011, (before I used the old ones), manila started and worked, but after a couple of hours it begun restarting.

I'll look into my kitchen better.

thanx anyway! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Restarting by itself or you tap on something before it restart? If the second is what you did, then it might be Contact Utilities or more missing packages. But normally if packages are missing, Manila will complain with error message. For incompatible packages, Manila would normally restart.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neoceltic:
well, it restarts itself. and it's begun after I setted the location and in home tab starts the weather animation (it doesn't finish, when the animation is at half, manila restart.) :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
I'm having no issues except no weather update... I had to delete forecast_cache (as it kept crashing in weather tab) file and activate MyLocation in settings, but now I'm tapping "Update" and nothing happens, the little white compass doesn't even start spinning. Don't know (and don't care) about fixed location weather, I want to know local weather! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] epty:
You should scroll down menu in Home tab (or Weather tab) with your finger to see last string and activate it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Holy grail! Thank you so much man, never noticed I could scroll down! Now it's working! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
good stuff man....thanks for all you do to and your expertise. I agree as of right not to give Manila 2.5.2011 the best experience updating to Album 3.5 is a large priority. All the extras are minor stuff that users can update as we go along.

I'm no expert in any of this stuff, and we have some of the best working on it. However i'm willing to do anything i can to help move this along.

Contact Picker plays a big role for giving us the best experience as well...and i feel although its not major or important, possibly getting the messaging client somewhat straightened out saves us a lot of time, this way we don't need to create a new messaging mod once that works perfectly.

I feel its time for an upgrade on the ezinput 2011 as well. I'm interested in what you mean by its working perfect in portrait? Nothings missing? hows that possible i guess?

Possibly to do list?

Port Album 3.5

Contact Picker

Messaging Client

EzInput

love all you do guys...and thank you. Anybody let me know if theres possibly something i can assist them with.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] piannetta:
Hi,

I've searched the forums but not found anything useful. My TP2 seems to be really slow. Constantly fails to respond to finger movements, serious lag between tap and response - that sort of thing.

It's also painfully slow to open apps.

I've been putting up with it for ages but can't stay silent any longer. I love the device but the speed issue is making it unusable.

Hell, my wife's iPhone is blistering compared to my TP2 - it's becoming a laughing stock.

I do suspect that my Activesync back to the my work's exchange server may be a contributing factor (I was recently on 2 weeks holiday and turned it off, and to be honest, the speed was bearable, but still not blistering).

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Pete

ROM details and a list of apps and tweaks installed may be helpful with the diagnostic. Also, you may also want to give concrete examples of how slow your device is. Eg, how long does it take to launch a particular app?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I use Chainfire's GfxBoost with NRGZ28's EnergyROM, and my device is pretty fast. Though putting nearly any cooked ROM on your device will speed it up considerably. Also, there is a pretty basic guide for speeding up your device, and even when using only the free programs (as I do), you should speed your device up noticably.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] piannetta:
Of course, details as follows:

In terms of what I'm experiencing, I can tap on new mail icon and it can take up to 15 seconds before I get the inbox. Tap on the mail message, another 10 seconds and so on.

Plenty of available RAM, not sure what to do other than hard reset and start again.
