I just can't get comfortable with any of the ROMs and starting to get nuts.

20-28 Sep 21916 ones are just not stable. Something is always wrong a little.

Today I switched to 21681 classic GTX. Much more stable and faster (though I expected the 916s to be faster).. but there is a huge usage problem for me. the traditional task manager which is accessed from the X button tapping from the top right, is no longer available, or not foundable easily for a moderate user. I dont wanna go to notifications and to task manager and tap hold to just switch to another background program. or dont wanna lose taskbar notifications due to arkswitch.. dont understand why just the old taskmgr og 6.5.0 is replaced to right bottom in 6.5.3.

had my first hd2 and used it with 20sep(or before) version for 2 weeks than it got broken and I get it replaced and since then I couldn't get satisfied.. bored of trying roms and reinstallin all the apps or recopying shortcuts...

I'm gonna pis off at one moment and switch to the iphone4 and be the happiest dumbest guy ever..

"seniors".. please do not try to respond.. I'm sick of you guys shouting FAQ FAQ FAQ when something already answered is reposted while ignoring when something weird is asked..

yes, seeing repost from junior-moderate users is not fun, you're not the only guys who have profession in a case, but this kind of attitude is not nice, in any perspective.

anyways.. I just wanna tell my opinions..

although the energy ones are the best I've tried, it's not either feeling complete.. always had to check on sth, fix sth, avoid sth..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Tried that as well, still the Alarm goes yelling at some really weird times.

Anyway, I'm reverting back to CHT 1.8.5 for plenty of reasons, such as the Alarms issue, the higher battery drain, and the graphically-distorted "previous" button of the Homescreen music player. I believe that's why NRG re-cooked them.

You both are very welcome. Am really glad to see that FAQ is being helpful for some members, and I can't take all credit for it. I would like to cascade those appreciations to all other experts who are continuously contributing in enhancing the FAQ.

Have a good one :)

which ROM did you flash?

You can try pyrorob's hd2 settings cabs, one or the other might help (has helped others)

posted below

he doesn't make all roms in all languages, the reference ROMs aren't that popular

which microsoft program?

Some things can't be translated because it will mess up the ROM.

What are you doing when screen freezes? Make sure you don't turn on tap time or screen sensitivity in bsb tweaks. Don't turn on clock second hand in cht. You might also try adding a 3rd party lock screen (I've had freezes with the both cht lockscreen and the windows/hd mini lockscreen).

Maybe not enough downloads???

There has only been 1 sencity release:

http://hotfile.com/list/588162/580b43d
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Prinz069:
@fitch....thx for that...always looked on release date and in post '2 the downloads are all named with the 8th of october.

You guys all do a really good job, I appreciate that!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Well, I'm a senior, yet I'll try to respond .. Don't worry, I won't "FAQ" you :).

Let me try to clarify some points ..

21681 has the start menu on bottom-left, while 21916 has it on top-left (with that task manager you seek).

Within one build (say 21916), there are different flavors (CHT, Dinik, GTX, ...). There's no difference in usage/consumption (again, within the same build), just different looks.

For the "usage" issue, you may want to try another radio, or check the below for battery tips/hints.

About the iPhone4 thing, well ... We can't force you to love this or hate that, but I guess you said it already, to be the happiest dumbest guy (I doubt the first part though).

Finally, let me know if further issues came up, or if something needs more clarification.

Good day :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
speaking of battery again:p

does anyone noticed that if you flash first the radio and after the rom, the battery consumption is lower then if you flash the other way around?

i had radio 2.14 on my hd2 and flashed 21681 cht 1.8.5 october 8 rom and in the first night i had 2% drop in 9 hour of stand by:cool:

i played with few radios and then i flashed back the 2.14 radio on the existing rom (mentioned above)

in the next night i had 5% battery drop in 9 hours of stand by, in the exact same conditions?

so, do you guys have the impression that order is important for battery: radio then rom or rom then radio?

thank you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] heiglma:
No need to profile if i'm using the rom from 26.09, which is really great!

Have a look at the pictures and you will see that it CAN work!

(flashed back to the "older" version 15min ago)

GPRS costs so much battery, and with this solution it will automatically turn off as soon as i'm in my office or at home! And pushmail will continue working ...

When i leave home and get i my car, the wifi-ap is not available and GPRS is activating from itself! That's exactly the way it should work! Automatically use the fastest and cheapest connection for pushmail! (even in standby)

(but with EVERY rom before and after 26.09 it dosn't) :confused:

edit: Just checked the settings for my ISP, network, pushmail, and so on.

They look exactly the same as ever (untouched default) ... so it has to be an "internal" stuff within WM6.5 i think (maybe there's a difference between 21680 and 21681)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
In bootloader, what spl version do you have? It should be 1.42.hspl. Then next, did you install radio 2.08? It should be included in the rom download rar file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diamond777:
I got to download the first one but he then posted a 2nd try link and now im not sure if I wanna git it a go as of yet...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
the hspl was the one posted in the noob guide, and how do i install the radio ? its an nbh file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tokolosh:
in the same way as you flash a rom ;) use the custom_ruu.exe and the radio file
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Copy the LeoCustomRUU.exe from the rom file and paste into a separate folder with only the radio nbh file and run the RUU.exe. Then do the same for the rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diamond777:
Ok but whats up with the first one he uploaded Energy.Leo.21895.Titanium.Mar.11? Is that one ok? My finger is itching!!!

I like the new .sencity theme, is there any chance that NRG could change ther GTX slider to match the GTX theme as he has done with .sencity?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thekillingroad:
Thanks for the input, I know the difference of start menu and X buttons locations between 6.5.0 and 6.5.x. What I'm trying to say is, the "right-bottom" is left alone at the Home view. The 6.5.0 style Task Manager could be adapted to that spot. May be there is a reason that it cannot be there I don't know, that's why I'm not blaming NRG directly.

I know the skins of the same build are the same, couldn't clearly say what I wanted to say I believe. Also the radio is always recommended .50 ones. Trying each also, on 14 right now.

Well obviously the iPhone4 issue was an irony. I had to use my friends' old 3G while my HD2 was in replacement progress, it was truly horrible. But I'm just getting tired of making lots of settings and troubleshooting, which was something I liked hence being an MCSA. But having "issues" with a device which is also (and actually) a GSM Phone, is tiring. I know this is the thing of smartphones and I'll immediately switch back to a Nokia 8890 if I don't need my mails and GPS. Really can live without Facebook and Twitter and fun applications and.. and.. Oh, also my calendar should be available on the old Finnish guy. =)

Anyways, on 23 Sep 2.5 Cookie right now and everything was going fine. Not a big problem but I just don't like this. There's a glassy animation on the weather animation if its rainy. The windswiper is working and that glassy add-on disappears. Can I just have the original weather animation?

Also curios about something..

Can't a taskbar of 21916 be modified to have;

task mgr at the right edge, next to it clock AND battery, and then connections etc.. Why didn't anyone asked for that? (I think not since its not done)

(Battclock is somehow decreasing performance, the weather animation starts to log when its on, also the CPU-Memory-Signal bars are irritating, funny I couldn't get them lost just having clockandbatt together.)

Well, do you have the time and nerve to help now? =))
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Well, yes, I do have time & nerve. Since others find time & nerve to help me when needed, I'm obliged to do the same =)

You're talking about 2 points..

The Weather Animation

: Well, it doesn't rain much here so am not sure how does the original animation look =). However, in the HD2 preview videos (if memory serves me well), I remember that the rainy effect disappears after that sweeping animation. Hope other members from rainy countries confirm it though.

Task Manager Design

: This is out of my scope. Our Chef cooks ROMs the way he likes it. However, you may want to PM him with your suggestion, and am quite sure he will take it into consideration if it's better from his point of view.

Hope my answers are helpful somehow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thekillingroad:
Thanks.

What I mean about the rain animation is;

In the original animation only water drops are on the screen and the windowsweeper is coming, cleaning all. You can add Istanbul to cities if you have the time:p, its rainy right now.

On this one however, a glass curtain(?) with steam is an external layer and when the windowsweeper is coming and going the curtain is disappearing. This is happening on Home Tab and Lockscreen but not on Weather Tab itself.

Here's the screenshot. The one on the right is what I'm talking about.

wow, so much anger at people who MOSTLY try to help. We are human. Yes we get aggravated when we see the same question 20 times in a 24hour period. Yet, most people on here are friendly than the paid tech support I have talked to in the past.

As far as task managers go for the 6.5.x roms (21681 series at the moment). Arkswitch is built in. You activate it by tapping the left half of the top taskbar. If you don't like that one, there are several you can download that you can set to use that area. There is also quick menu (called compact menu in this rom under the start menu switcher), that has a built in task mgr. Also there is in the tools folder, an app called x button settings where you can set short and long presses of the x to either close or minimize. So you see, there are several options even though there is no "x" at the top.

you and kurt willeims are about the nicest forum people I've ever met. :D

I'm not sure about this because I don't flash radios and roms together. Since I'm tmous, I always have to use a .50 radio, so unless I'm testing a new radio, I tend to stick to 1 or 2 of them.

try this, it should change the way your phone stamps the sms:

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ Jataayu\Messaging\SMS

click on “UseSystemTimeAsRecvTime” and change dword to 00000001

FYI: per the man himself:

for those guys wondering about maxsense... I ll still update it. just not as often, probably at the rate titanium roms, about twice a month.

and:

The touch of glass ROMs made by me, are ready now. Will upload them today.

Is there a cookie 2.0 rom with sencity coming? id love to see this! xD
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tmknight:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but you should be able to do that by highlighting "messages", then click "options" below, un-tick Outlook (though that is easier said than done - you'll see what I mean). I do this myself as I use EAS for my email, so no need to backup "Outlook".

I'm quoting these steps from memory as I don't have my HD2 with me at the moment, so be gentle if they aren't precise ;)

New TMo US 3.14 ROM

Does anybody have an idea as to whether we'll be the beneficiaries of the new TMo US ROM 3.14 that surfaced today? Or have we already been enjoying the applicable bits and pieces over the last couple of weeks with the new stuff NRG has cooked in? (Notably the Sept 29 ROM.) I know Pyrorob has tinkered with the new Messaging Client, but to my recollection that's all that I've seen pop up recently.

Not that I need to update my ROM. But... you know... Enough just never seems to be enough, does it?

Hi Guys,

As some of you might remember I had this automatic switch to automatic network "feature" in my phone. After researching for a couple of weeks I finally found the solution. So if any of you ever find yourself confronted wit automatic network, just change HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL AutoNetSelAfterReboot to 0.. After rebooting the network no longer changes to automatic... finally..:D
