[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ucarcamagno:
thanks for your kind reply.

i agree with you: ram is not an issue on HD2, but i don't use a lot start menù (i prefere shortcut), and i don't see a reason to waste 20m of ram for something i don't use.

I just installed "MMAppLauncher v1.0.CAB", that seems to work as i like: all the functions are available, 15-20mb are saved.

Sometimes some programs remain running in background, using ram, but giving speed when opening program running in background.

So, i prefere wasting ram keeping some programs in background, rather than running WM start menù that i don't use/like.

thank a lot, and go on: you are one of the best!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
I like 3 Row staggered grid cpr file layout but would like to adjust order of item rows.

IE: 1st left, 2nd Right, 3rd middle & so forth.

The standard order has middle 2nd which looks untidy unless last row is full & also makes you scroll further than necessary if last row only has 2 items.

6.5 standard start menu seems very practical & organized/organizable to me. Far better than Android or iPhone all in one mess ! ...

Once device is setup well the need to go to Start Menu is not a daily one ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
What I appreciate a lot in WM Start menu as opposed to iPhone or Android is you can use subfolders.

Definitely a winning advantage.

While using TF3D Program folder (aka "Manila new Start menu") under WM 6.1 / TF3D 2, I was working on the possibility to add such subfolders while retaining the Manila look and feel.

My work on this turned into a "Documents folders" folder for WM 6.5 Start menu, using subfolders, a set of NRGZ-style folder icons made by my friend dgarcia, File Explorer extensions allowing icons browsing to open the target folders, and a MortScript to link with a quicklink, able to directly open the "Folders" folder in the Start menu, wherever it's located, and whatever the screen orientation (it's even resolution independant, cheking the registry for all that).

Lockscreen Ignorance

I'd like the lockscreen to be invoked when the phone goes into the sleep mode. The sleep mode comes when I don't use the phone for 1 min or a short press of the end button. A long press of the end button would be ok. I tried configuring Quick Menu to do the job by leaving that as the single choice but it didn't work. The 'lock' program doesn't work. I know it's simple but I just cannot seem to manage it.

Have a look in BSB Tweaks>Auto Lock, Auto Lock status= ON

Soft reset & see what happens !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stathis95194:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]

"DeviceLockWhenSuspend"=dword:00000001
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Yes, this is exactly what BsB Tweaks does.

But there's something really strange here :

My own phone does lock on sleep mode while this value is still set to 0.

I flashed one of my employee's HD2 last Friday, using exactly the same lock system as mine (CHT Lock disabled, Android style lock screen), and it wouldn't autolock until I set this value to 1.

I've got no explanation for that... :confused:

This value is still usefull as set to 0 when using a third party lockscreen, such as S2U2, to avoid the "double lock" effect (especially when using a PIN code, as it would make the PIN code impossible to type).

While I'm writing that, I'm thinking of a potential difference : he uses a PIN code, while I don't (I want my phone to unlock immediately when I need it).

Maybe the different behavior comes from that ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
For me too this registry set 0 or 1 results in same behaviour of lock on suspend.

I have used PIN code & result is same ...

Something in registry amiss but I do not know what or where.

Hi, would it be possible to give as a Phone Dialer-cab from your ROM
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] christty31:
no new updates to this beautiful ROM? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
Hmmm.... make a wiiiiild guess... :D

There are no new builds of Windows Mobile, nor Sense 2.5.

So no new ROMs to be expected.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
23153 was leaked a month ago, actually. Last one we've seen, though.

EDIT: 231xx is the "official" rollup branch, BTW. Also, there was a new compression format (XPH) ported from WP7 for ARMv7 devices. That is faster and smaller than XPR. The fact is that NRGZ28 has moved on from WM.

Hi guys.

Can someone please help me out?

I've overwritten the 2 lockscreen files (LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr and LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr) in the windows/LockScreen folder and as a result, have messed up my standard lock screen.

Would someone, who has also installed the latest Energy Rom (July 4th version), please copy these two files from their device and post here?

The other 4 files in the folder are all dated 30/08/2010, so I assume that these 2 files will also show this date...

Before anyone suggests it, the files in the windows folder are a different (later) version and cannot therefore be used to replace these two files.

Thanks!

Android ROMs are favoured by developpers ... an android energy rom is currently developped ...

apps and games are favoured too, you can already seen few new apps and games for WM.

as i've read around the net, android rom have some problem with battery drain ...

but some can read 720p video ... very interesting

In my case, i'll wait a while before flashing an android rom ...

Have to get used with this OS before

Why not a spanish rom?

I like your work but i don´t fully understand english.

i would like your work in spanish

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Here you are. :)

But may I suggest you just delete them ?

You'll then bring back the original ones, as they're stored in ROM.

It should be just as easy as that. ;)

You may have to soft reset in order to allow the system too use them back, though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johnkst:
Thanks Z80-Man.

Unfortunately these are not the files I am looking for. The ones I need are contained in the separate LockScreen folder under windows/. It would appear that these files do not 're-generate' after a soft-reset like the ones in the windows folder. That's why I was unable to retrieve them myself.

If you would be so kind as to post the two files from the LockScreen folder, I would be very grateful...

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Not the latest ROM but the file dates are the same.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johnkst:
Brilliant! LockScreen working perfectly again!

Thanks, Mister B. These are the ones... Even if they are not the most recent versions of these files, they are definitely the ones installed in the LockScreen folder when you flash the July 4th Rom, which I believe is the latest one.

Now to remove that annoying 'slide' text from the screen (after making copies this time, of course!).

Special thanks too, of course, to the creator of the Rom, NRGZ28. This one is definitely 'a keeper'. Donation on it's way...!

And thanks again to Z80-Man for making the effort...!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
OH, so you actually wanted the "Android-style" alternative version ? :)

You should have been more precise. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johnkst:
LockScreen files

Nope. I wanted the two named files from the windows/LockScreen folder. I couldn't have been more precise. These are the ones actually used when you select the default LockScreen.

But I DO appreciate you responding to my request and trying to help... Thanks.

Opera problem

I'm facing some problems with Opera in last Rom version. Web pages and forums like this one don't remember me and I need to log in every time I visit even if I check the "remeber me" page option.

Normaly I'm conecting through home ADSL so IP is more or less static. and cokies are enabled in opera options.

In some forums I lost login state even moving from one page to another.

Any clue?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cyberdyne:
This thread is just to long to read so I tried searching but could not find an answer to my question:

The Music-Tab and Picture-Tab seem to be broken when switching from portrait to landscape. Is this a known problem and is there a fix?

The problem only occurs if you already look at one of these tabs and than switch to landscape. If you are at an other tap, switch to landscape first and than show the music or picture tab everything is fine. Hope you understand what I try to say.

(I use Energy.Leo.29022.Sense2.5.GER.Cookie.2.0.Jul.06.7z)

BTW: I'm a chef myself and I have to say: Thank you for this awesome ROM!!!

PS: I would be great if you could use XPH compression in the next version! Than you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] paleozord:
I agree with the idea of removing the HTC Messaging client as it lags too much to be useful, but there's still a current problem. When using this "iphone style" sense messaging app that's included in the 29022 ROM to enter text messages, any time I type a message that is longer than one line within the text entry box at the bottom, the entire line of text I am typing does a very noticeable "flicker" with each and every single new character/letter that I type.

So for example if I am typing on line two of a message, the text on line one will be fine and not flicker, but all of the words on line 2 will flicker every time I type a new character on that line. Once I have typed some more and gotten to line 3, it is now that line whose contents will flicker every time I type. Sometimes it's actually the entire contents of the text box that flicker, and not just the line on which I'm typing, but always at least that one line will flicker, every single time.

Is there any way to fix this, or disable this theme/app completely so that the standard Windows SMS screen appears instead, still accessible from the People/Contact screen the way the current app is?

Can anyone help with this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cyberdyne:
Talking about messages-client I remember an other problem. I noticed it while writing SMS but I think this problem is in every app which uses the SIP keyboard.

I cannot hide the softkeboard by pressing the keyboard icon in the lower startbar. Normaly a short press should activate/show the keyboard and an other short press should hide it again. A long press should open the menu for all the different softkeyboards. In this ROM a short press activates the softkeyboard but the next short press does not close it but opens the sip-menu. Closing the menu shows the keyboard again.

In some apps a press on the keyboard-return-key ends input and hides the keyboard but in the message-client it just makes a linebreak and the keyboard is still active.

Pressing somewhere on the screen normaly hides the softkeyboard as well but when using the htc messages-client in landscape mode you only have the keyboard, the sms-input-field and the send button (and upper and lower startbars) and you can only hide the keyboard by sending the sms.

Does anyone knows a fix so that a short press hides the keyboard and only a long press opens the SIP menu?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JVH3:
Press the left side to hide it. On the Tilt 2, directly below it works as well. not sure on the HD2 though.

Here's a link to a post by Z80-Man which gives all the details of the SIP: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12707854&postcount=34670

Talking about keyboards, there's another remarkable piece of free software available on XDA : Finger Keyboard. :cool:

I didn't have time to do all I would like to do with it yet, but some I'll day be able to produce a full keyboard including ESC, CTRL keys and so on. Plus auxilliary direction pads, etc.

It's so powerful and completely customizable... Even beyond most people's imagination. :cool:

i finally received my HD2 back from warranty and had a CPU damage from perhaps, overclocking or overheating from Android kernels.. hence I was away from this thread for a while, havent been reading much of course..

THANKS

I installed this before, it wasnt impressive or useful as much as HTC keyboard 2.1

I am not sure if there is a newer version, but HTC Keyboard so far is better than the stock keyboard provided but still does not satisfy my needs to be a great keyboard as compared to Android (perfect keyboard / gingerbread keyboard)

I have attached HTC Keyboard, perhaps others might find it useful

The same thing should work to hide the keyboard when messaging.

The SIP selector is still visiable, so you can hide it. Also, rotating to portrait should hide it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] scrutinizer:
But you better think twice:

No more stressles syncing with outlook. I created an exchange account for syncing.

But Android does not make use of it: no notes - no categories - appointments are sent as meeting Requests - ...

I love the modern apps. And I love the ease of restoring my telephone after updating.

But if you want a phone not only for playing - stay with Windows Mobile.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
After two months playing with an SD version I should agree with you. To many dificulties to sync and to many flaws regarding privacy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
Just FYI....

First off, let me start by saying I'm still a WM fan and user. There are things I we can do with WM that we can't with Android at this time. Coming from a computer forensics side of this, they are pretty equal when it comes to security risks and concerns. There are some really smart bad guys out there and it really doesn't matter what platform you use!

Second, since the Chef (NRGZ28) has been cooking for Android now, I've been playing around with it on my HD2 as my signature indicates. As far as syncing with Outlook goes, Yes at first I had several issues. Once I learned why it doesn't like to sync with Outlook (with or without Exchange), not so much now. I found numerous different programs available to solve this sync issue. I personally use MyPhoneExplorer and it works great syncing. The Exchange setups available that are built into the ROM have been flawless for me at work.

And thirdly, when it comes to updating (flashing) a new Android ROM the Chef has prepared for us, you simply just flash directly over it. ALL your setting and the setup is still there. If you read the forums you will see its actually a much faster and easier process then it is with WM. The only time you have to worry about making sure your setting are backed up and you have to reset everything is when the Chef comes out with an UPGRADE, not an update. The app Titanium Backup that comes in the ROM works wonders as well for backing up and restoring items and your settings.

Understand this, I am in no way trying to convince you or anyone to switch to Android. I personally use both. They each have strong advantages and disadvantages to their OS. For the record, the one thing I hate at this time about the Android platform is lack of customization capabilities like what we had with WM when it comes to Themes, Icons and Layout positioning. Maybe one day it will be a reality. Give it a try and enjoy!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
Well actually it is a matter of choice after all... I was a great fan of WM6.5 in the past years (and still am) and thought that Android was totally crappy o/s. I still own my x1 running win mo but I have to agree that the chef has done a great job for HD2 in Nand Android. It's worth trying it. And yes Android has less customization but it makes you focus in actually using the device instead of continuously modding it. Also keep in mind that the European model will have relatively limited internal space for apps even after removing apps u don't like and moving others to the sd card. But in the end do we daily use all the apps we have? (regardless of o/s)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
Thank you for pointing out the small issue with the European model and the limited space. I failed to point that out. The US T-Mobile version also runs out of memory too, but apps can easily be moved to the SD card with ease.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that the HD2 is not a native Android phone, but to also remember it is an outstanding device. The only one that can run every OS out there, excluding the iOS. Very cool if you think about it.

Long live the HTC HD2 and the Energy ROMs!

hi guys

i have used the energy rom before and one very minor issue i had was the colours.

i mean, i like the original green colour icons, text and mail alerts that come in the stock roms, but, thes have been converted to blue -purple in the energy rom.

(my personal preference is green :))

is there any way to get the original green colour?

thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
NRG Reference ROM has standard colour layout/icons.

You could replace required DLLs & theme to other ROM versions to get more stock look but maybe easier going for Reference ROM & adding to that as you require.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JVH3:
Really wasn't necessary to quote the large post. It would be nice if you editted your post to remove the quote. It ads nothing and takes up alot of space. Especially when viewd on a mobile borwser with a Tap A Talk app.

TOMTOM is not cooked into the ROM. GPS does consume a battery faster than not using it.

You should post what other apps you are running.

Which particular flavor of the rom you flashed.

Did you fully charge after flashing?

What other modifcations did you apply? cabs / reg tweaks / etc.

Is WiFi on?

What abut bluetooth?

Details are important.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
It sounds like you may have failing hardware. I had to return mine for warranty because it overheated when using internet or GPS. It is a known issue with the HD2; if you do a search you'll find more info.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
been using TomTom for last 7 months without issues, runs warmer but within sensible temp with no issues for me.

would think it could be hardware mainboard issue.

SMS Message Arrival notification

Apologies if this has been already covered, but I have tried to use the search tool, but not found an answer to my specific question (possibly me just being dumb :o)

I have just "upgraded" from a Blackstone to a Leo, and am delighted with the performance improvement, but have a couple of "issues" when using the same ROM build.

On the Blackstone, I am pretty sure that when I had received an SMS message, the Blue/Green Meesages bubble on both the Homescreen tab, and the messages widget indicated that there was one (or more) unread message/s waiting for me.

I have tried to find a setting on the Leo to make this happen, but can only find in "Notifications Messaging : New text message" the option to display message on screen & flash light for... (the latter also doesn't seem to work).

Is there a registry setting, or a setting in Advanced Config, or a setting in BSB Tweaks which will re-enable the notification on the Homescreen tab and widget?

Also, on a seperate topic, after a soft restart, the Leo seems to sit in the ArkSwitch screen, rather than going to the Today page - is this perhaps due to the WM 6.5 compatibility mode being set? or the Run at boot time option?

Thanks

GrahamST

Edit: Answer to my second question, turning off the WM6.5 compatibility mode and rebooting it, it now comes back to the Today page - Does anyone know what is the purpose of the WM 6.5 compatibility option? what does it do? and why is it there?
