Just a quick question - hope it's not in here...

I'Ve reflashed my Phone with the latest Energy ROM (GER) and wanted to know how to keep this direct links on the Homescreen because since i played around in the CHTEditor they disappear frequently is there a solution for this issue or do i have to flash the rom again to get it back as default?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
If you seriously messed up your system, the best and the easiest way to cure it is to do hard reset - no need to reflash.

But be aware - all settings and everything from phone's internal memory will disappear.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Did you enable the CHT Lockscreen by any chance? You can open the CHTEditor and select "Restore defaults" under Menu. Once you get everything the way you want do an "Export Settings" which you can Import again in the future if you played around and something went wrong. Hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sdhweg:
thanks for all tips but nothing really helped - when i turn back to default in cht editor it brings the cht icons at the bottom back that's all - the directlinks / quicklinks are unsorted as they was before so nothing really helped me and i did a hard reset. It was not really playing around with cht editor all i did was changing one or two things in the cht editor but when i did it back the homescreen wasn't like before again so i don't know if it was a bug by my flash or in the rom now with the hard reset everything is good and i won't do this changes again. i discovered this problem with this quicklinks/directlinks of the apps on the homescreen earlier in one other version of the rom so maybe it's even a problem with CHT but anyway now everything is ok again so thanks again for trying to help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
Quick link dissapeared or getting doubled without reason from time to time is a small and known bug in CHT.

And to my knowledge there are not a cure for that. Just be sure to create a backup of your settings on Cht editor, menu, export... and inport it when something get messed

Test

Hello everybody !

I test energy rom and i have a problem with matrket place: this version don't have any options, to change default install folder for instance.

Did someone knows how to change this ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Yes, this is done on purpose because MS don't want you to save the CAB you paid for. :D

A CAB is actually put into \Temp\Volatile in main memory, then it's erased when installation is finished, so you can try to grab it before.

Either you install an utility that captures the CAB for you, such as DarkCABCatcher, or you're fast enough to copy the CAB to another before installtion is over... :)

After what you can uninstall the program and reuse the saved CAB to perform a standard install to wherever you want. :)

Thanks so much ; I try right now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
Sorry to disturb you again with this, but are this reg settings working for you in last rom version?

Mine are nearly the same, was working on may rom and don't do it in current..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Yes, they do. :)

So does your Music tab now show ringtones, etc. ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Could it be that you changed the amount of rows and colums for the Quicklinks? That would jumble them up. Just an idea.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sdhweg:
no i don't think so just played around with some settings to hide/enable the borders that was all i think - but i won't play around again with this cht editor it happend 2 times with 2 diferent versions of energy rom to me that this effect caused so better i don't touch it again. The first time it was like this it came just out of nothing and only a reflash/hardreset helped as well strange thing...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
Don't understand wy, but not for me.

The windows folder ringtones don't apeared but there is no way to hide the rest I keep in a sd folder nor some audiobooks that shouldn't be exposed to my home public...

Thanks anyway.

I finally desist and will send those files to zip folders.

Stock Outlook Calendar

Hi - Have to say these ROM's are awesome - only thing is I love the outlook stock calendar - sad I know - but is there any way I can replace the windows/calendar file so I get the old outlook calendar?

Cheers guys
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Not really, as Outlook Calendar was never designed as a Sense tab ! ;)

But you can still use it when called from any button : launching it when touching the appointments on the Home screen could be done, for example, by modifying the scripts (this one should be the most difficult to do, but it's still not impossible).

If you're using a softkey button, a quicklink, etc. to launch the calendar, then you can easily use Outlook Calendar, as they are just a matter of simple shortcuts (though they may require access to the registry).

The easiest way to direct access to Outlook Calendar would be just create quicklink to the existing "Calendar" shortcut from the "Office Mobile" folder in the Start menu.

I've been using it for a long time, back to the time when TF3D 1 and 2.1 calendar had so poor functionalities. Now it's not the case anymore and I really enjoy the new Sense 2.5 HTC Calendar tab. I may even say it made me go to WM6.5 + Sense 2.5 on my old HD for this only reason. :)

You are the best. I'm so happy now I can use msvc 100%.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ppchotman19:
Hello Master thank you again to the beautiful roms,but i have 2 issues that bother me. 1st after installing spb tv2 and editing quick link to spb tv2 icon and soft resetting, i have 2 icons the 2nd appears on 3d page just right above the toggle switches and i can't remove and it messed up the lay out of the toddle switches. The 2nd is voice mail notification icon its always shows me that i have( -1) vmail, i've tried to call and delete the voice mail messages,changed not to display notification when a new message arrived but nothing happened. I have all these problems on both htc phones:HD2,TOUCH PRO

with energy roms 6.5/21916

Thank you,

How are you able to use msvc I cant get it to speak the names of callers.... tips appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ppchotman19:
The only one that works for me it's msvc v1.6.19209, now i have all the announcements(sms,e-mail,caller id), make sure to check all options including in the menu of msvc.

I have HD2 and TOUCH PRO works great.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bence:
Well...that's my problem...

I can't receive or send SMS anymore...

Last SMS I received did not make a sound or a reminder...I accidently clicked on sms tab when I saw it...

Last few had some problems with new messages notification...it just did not disappear for a lot more seconds as it should...

The second problem is incall sound quality...

I hear very bad and sometimes computer voice...

The person on the other end hear echo of his voice...

I had this echo problem for few weeks but it was very minor...

Now suddenly I can't use SMS and calling is so annoying...

And I am very sure these problems are connected because they started at the same time...

Top taskpar also does not bring up notifications menu...only start button works and battery bar is updated...

What could be the problem?

Software or hardware?

I am using EnergyRom, but never had problems with it...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CaponiND:
It could be Radio (try any from those which are recommended for use with this ROM), or bad flash (try reflashing), or you messed something in the system (try reflashing or hard reset).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
Well, it hasn't been a huge thing, but i cannot turn on pictures in the email reader. I have the text saying turn on pictures when I read the email, but when I select it, the pictures don't appear - it returns to saying internet pictures blocked. So all my emails are only showing the text. I can't say on which rom it stopped working. Anyone else having this issue?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bence:
I've been using radio and rom for more than 3 months now, situation began 3 weeks ago...

If I reflash radio, do I need to hard reset?

I did nothing with settings, if something went wrong it was not my direct fault...but I am sure everything began with messages...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
When flashing the Radio you dont have to hardreset. I would definetly try that and see if it changes your situation. Since the problems started to occur did the device get hotter? Usually a sign that the Radio ROM needs reflashing. Anyway try that and let us know if it helped in any way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bence:
Nope...everything as ussual...

robot call voice...messages...and weather update...I did not notice anything else

I will reflash radio and if it doesn't help rom too...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
I gave it a try and opend a Flyer with Images. Saw the message that Images are Blocked clicked on it and also on the next message to download them. Worked flawlessly. I did have Wireless activated. Will have to try later over 3G. Could it be that the images are very large and or your connection is not up to par? If you could give it a try over Wireless we know the bandwidth should not be the problem.

Edit: by the way i used gmail and IMAP4 connection. Maybe let me know what your exact setup is and we can go from there.

In that regard I wonder if there is a simple way to block certain Domains on the phone. On the Computer I can just use the Hostfile to link Ad Servers to 127.0.0.1 local loopback. Is there something like a host file under Windows Mobile? I doubt it but would have been nice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tyris1013:
Will there be any updates to this rom and are there any roms like this one? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
Nope, I tried my gmail with IMAP and it still happens. As soon as I click on "Download Internet Pictures, it goes back to "Internet Pictures Blocked". It is strange. Are you sure that you are using the default email program?

I don't think it is a bandwidth problem, it is as if it never even tries to download them.

EDIT: Found another thread here on XDA. Apparently it works on Wifi but not 3G. I'll have to try wifi. That is not much of a solution.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
These ROMs run very smooth and are up to date. Unfortunately there are no newer releases of Windows Mobile so there will be most likely no updates anymore. You will have to move on to Android if you want new releases. But if you want a stable OS I would pick one of these here and maybe get a Android release for your SDCard to get used to it. By the way I think Windows Phone 7 can be easely ignored for the HD2 since its a pain in the tuckus with keeping it unlocked.

Almost figured it is going to be different over 3G. :( Have you tried to use Webmail Interface to look at Emails that have images? I know also not the best workaround but maybe atleast a possibility when threre is no Wifi.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
No, but I'm sure it would work. However it would be slow as heck. Most emails have a "click here to view a web version", which would be far quicker.

Hi guys, in the last few NRG Roma I have noticed when the battery is low and I get the low battery warning at 10% a green battery Icon appears in the task bar showing 29% battery remaining.

When I click on it, the unbuilt battery app shows 10% battery remaining.

Anyone else notice that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tyris1013:
Aye, had it till my friend suggested android. When I finally got it flashed, I was like "oh man, I'll have to download crapload of apps..!"

or am I wrong?

unless you can also download apps for energy rom? But I never saw any program apps for htc hd2 website :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Phoenix007:
MMS options -> Servers tab, look overthere, I had that minor problem too ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Ok so no new Windows Mobile releases is not the end of development. Working with current Build or choosing the best build for future minor update or bugfix release would be good for some people.

For me no big deal I stuck with Energy 23699 a long time ago & am too busy enjoying & using my device to want to flash it every month ... Thanks NRG & maybe you will release the odd minor update version if enough fixes or app updates make it viable.

Also editing the ROM ourselves to do a bit of file cleaning & adding personal tweaks ect would be good way forward too.

Perhaps Z80-man could give us a quick guide on tools he is using for this & tips on its use ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
Do yo mean it i's possible to "rebuilt" the rom without having the chef kitchen? If so, it will be wonderfull.

to do this small clean and some adjust.

Without new roms to flash things are getting a little boring here...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Z80-Man has been doing some ROM editing as mentioned in a post probably only 2 or 3 pages back. He did mention the tools he is using but I have not researched this as have had no spare time recently.

Hopefully Z80-Man could give us a bit more info on the process in terms of tools required & what can be achieved with them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Hi !

Yeah, still working on it (but I can't do it continuously because of my work ;))

Already flashed my son's and my employee's ROM's successfully with lightened and improved Energy ROMs. But I'm not finished ! :p

Without having the kitchen tools (sink, sponge, etc. LMAO :D), I'm just using :

- HTC ROM Editor (htcRIE_0.7.0.46)

- HVEdit v.2.0.112 to turn .hv files extracted from the .NBH ROM file into readable registry text files, and back to .hv files

- UnSigner.exe to remove digital signatures from EXE, DLL and MUI files (not necessary with files extracted from a .NBH ROM file, see remark below)

- Reversmode.exe to turn EXE, DLL and MUI files into modules for direct code editing (remark : ROM Editor produces them directly out of these files)

- Hexedit to edit those files (and search for hexadecimal sequences or Unicode strings)

- Recmode.exe to turn them back into EXE, DLL or MUI (only to put in CAB, as using them with ROM Editor requires the module form)

- Siggner.exe to add an up-to-date digital signature (again only for CAB integration). You'll also need the latest signatures package from Microsoft (hoping you'll still find them), as all of them went obsolete in 2010.

- Restorator 2007 to directly edit (previously unsigned) EXE, DLL and MUI resources (pictures, icons, text, etc.)

- IcoFX to edit / create icons containing several different resolutions from pictures so they can be used in shortcuts (after putting them into DLLs with Restorator)

- M9Editor to modify (manila) Mode9 scripts and import / export QTC manila pictures into / from PNG format, and CFC compress / uncompress them.

- PaintShop Pro to modify or create graphic elements

- LuaTool.exe to decompile / compile (manila) LUA scripts to readable text and back to manila files (the only one I found to work, knowing that most LUA scripts will actually crash M9Editor and / or won't fully decompile)

- Notepad2.exe to edit XML files (either manila files or just .xml ones), and of course, registry files and decompiled LUA scripts.

- WinCE CAB Manager 3.0 form OCP Software (paid licence, but very worth it) to create / edit CAB files

And a full lot of knowledge about the system, the registry, Windows CE aliases and restrictions, programming knowledge, etc. You should find most of them here on XDA... Oh, and a full lot of patience, too. :p

A lot lot of these tools have taken quite a long time to find, especially to find the correct versions. Finding LuaTool was something like a jungle expedition ! :D

I don't have links handy for all of them (though I may have them somewhere), but if you do encounter problems in finding them, I can still make a full package of them - including WinCe, which is shareware (you'll just have to buy a licence to use it past the trial period, but it's free to download).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
Z-80 Man this is a great list for all of us so I hope that you "can still make a full package of them" if you have the time and mood to do so... ;)

Also I want to extract and make a cab the keyboard from the Greek Stock Rom. Do you know what files should I grab using htcRIE??

I know that there are a few cab files out there already available but trying them was disappointing and also I would like to skin the Greek stock keyboard with TOG concept.

Thanks in advance for any help...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
I think Colossus_r already made something like that.

Assuming you do'nt think his version of the Greek keyboard is perfect for you, you would probably find the file names from it anyway. Didn't he put that in the Energy ROMs Wiki ? :)

OK, I'll find some time to put all my tools in a large archive. I won't include the graphics design software however, for several reasons : it's not freeware (though it was and probably still is shareware), it's really huge, mine is really outdated, people would probably prefer Photoshop, Gimp, or anything else (I'm just used to it), etc.

But I will put all of the others, including the signatures pack.

But you'd still better take some time to search the web for links to these programs, as you'll then be able to find updates and instructions. I don't think I'd have time to write how-tos right now.

Most tools are found and some even actually come from XDA, however, such as ROM Editor itself, M9Editor, or the recmode/reversmode/unsigner/siggner pack.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
Well one of those that I had tried I think it was colossus_r cab but I think that it was the one that has messed up things. However it was a long time ago that I tested it so I guess I will have to take a look again.

Thanks for your reply and advice. C Ya mate!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Yeah, at least to get the files names you're looking for. :)

The probabiliy they're Manila files is high, and since they typically wear names depending on the language, so I'm afraid I won't even have these specific ones in my French ROM... :)

Your question is really weird.

You would just like to download apps for any Windows Mobile pocket PC. Period.

And you'll find thousands of them, anywhere on the web, most of them being free. Of course, you'll find most of them here on this very forum, in the "Windows Mobile Apps and Games" section :

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=528

There's nothing absolutely specific to Energy ROMs. Except a couple of tweaks you can't call "applications", such as the CABs I made to improve Eenrgy ROMs (but they should be almost the only ones available).

i used this rom but my battery fast gone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Read notes on first page FAQ on battery calibration & check a few setting like screen brightness ect.

I get close to 2 days with medium to light use & maybe 14hrs when using it heavily but generally battery life is only a little less than a good battery life stock ROM.

Most poor battery life after a new flash is always down to calibration issue.

I found always flashing with a 100% charged battery pretty much eliminated problems for me.

As long as I have an HD2 it will be WM6.5.x . The OS is good & your ROMs & XDA members helped bring out the best of it ... If only Billyboys development team could of realized its development potential instead of going WP7, Metro style :-/. Interesting design but functionality is awful & no backward compatibility ! MS never learn from there mistakes & never can judge what users really want & have the slowest development team ever :-P

Would be good if the King of Custom ROMs could do an odd update release for the king of HTC handsets, would keep those flash & WM junkies away from Android rehab ...

Yeh no big fan myself, also all the advertising within apps kills it big time for me, 1000s of apps but finding the good 1 is a PITA. The GUI is awful & complex Asian unicode font is another PITA to implement !

Wm6.5.x gets everything done for me without much hassle & is as close as a phone OS has ever been to a PC in your pocket & that's what I signed up for when purchasing my first WM device back in 2004 ... Long live WM ...
