Updated the bugs list in the first post. Fixed some others but they will be in the change log for the r2 release...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
Hi there, I test your rom .. I need one thing: german keyboard layout with "umlaute" !!! the rom is the fastest I use at this time. I must set up a few things and test more but the keys must work for me.

thanx a lot
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thank you for testing! You can just install FingerKeyboard on your device. That should contain German layouts as well!

I'm thinking of removing it from the ROM so you can install it using UC (automated) setup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
hmm I mean the hardware keyboard in german lang with symbols and "umlaute"

I will test it ... but in my old wwe win 6.1 I had a working keyboard, so its possible.

all other working very good and .... damn fast. I use HomeScreen PlusPlus UI, tomtom, skype, calender on homescreen.

lovee the taskmanager / actionscreen

is there a vga driver possible or build in ?

I test some keyboardsetting like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]

"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt"

and type this: eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt for german layout

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KDBFiles]

"07FF"="eT9.HQD.kdb" (default value)

and choose between:

* et9.hqd.greek.kdb

* et9.hqd.russian.alt3.kdb

* eT9.HQD_FRA.kdb

* eT9.HQD_GER.kdb

but thers no entry for that in the registry :-(

can't use this rom without german hardware keys :-/

is there a solution?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Sorry, misunderstood. I will add EzInput again and remove the FingerKeyboard.

This will fix the symbol problem using the hardware keyboard. FingerKeyboard can be added by installing a CAB very easily.

Those registry values and files you are referring to are available when I add EzInput.

Initially removed EzInput because it contains a lot (200) files. Will see if i can create a solution for this.

Also changed the video driver. I get a lower benchmark results but the image is smoother.

Managed to seperate YouTube from the ROM. This will also be a part of the manual CAB installation files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
sounds nice with the keyboard, for video / youtube I have org. Coreplayer. the best for me to look vids and listen music.

the reason is, I chat much and write emails with the tp2 so I need the correct hardware input.

best htc device for me !! and your rom is dev. the fastest I use till this time.

I installed office.cab but this dont works, whats missing ?

thanx ChriZZ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Will have a look at Office. Are you using 2010?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Somebody confirm the background color problem on the Large Start Menu?

If you change to a Today Screen with a color other than black, does your start menu color change?

Fixed this but I'm not sure if the problem is also there in r1 ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
ok I changed the color from black to xxx and the startmenucolor dont changes ... stays black. after a reset the startmenu is black again :-/

but, my hardwarekeyboard now works after installing the ezinput 2.1 v.22 and the reg changes all is working fine !!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Found a solution for you if you're still looking for one ;)

Download BSDeviceLock.exe HERE and change the LNK file like I've explained previously ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Back to Speed

Hey mccune,

thanks for the earlier response. I hard reset my device and then installed mobile shell, now it works faster than before. Thanks for the cool fast ROM.

Regards,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
looks good! if you wish I can (slightly) change icons/text for action screen. send me a pm.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thanks for that. Been working on an ActionScreen just for the CosmikDebris ROM.

Attached are two examples. I know they do not match the 18 button version but it's a concept :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
your icons are quite OK. and contrary to mine, I guess its a creation. I prefer it with text though, I get text more quickly than pictures.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Will add some text and a "real" concept 18 button version :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
About Action screen, I find it more useful to have the e-mail button receiving all mails from all accounts rather than writing a new mail as in the original version. I do not remember what I used for this but I can look for it if you are interested in implementing it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Please shoot at the attachment :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Darkseid83:
i had the same problem till i install that cab.

I think you should ADD that to your first post.... It worked like a charm and your Rom ROCKS my SOCKS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Will do ;)

Edit: and done!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Sounds good! How Will The backlight toggle work? Auto->max->min?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I currently have a Light Toggle app in my Start Menu. This toggles between Sensor and "As defined" in power settings. Pretty handy for using you're mobile in the dark!

I'm waiting for permission of the user who created the icons. But I've finished the layout the way I like them. As soon as I get a response I will post it here!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Got permission to use the icons :D

Will continue to get everything to work. I also found a solution for the Action Screen problem when using your phone in landscape. Just have a look at my Blog HERE if you're interested. It's in Dutch but the pictures are clear enough ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Small update:

Action Screen has been redesigned and some settings are added to the CosmikDebris Settings Scipt. Things you can set:

New Note Button to open:

- Default notes app

- PhatNotes installed on Device or SD

New Task Button to open:

- Default tasks app

- PocketInformant installed on Device or SD

New Event Button to open:

- Default Calendar app

- PocketInformant installed on Device or SD

GPS Button to open:

- Default QuickGPS

- TomTom Navigator on Device or SD

- Google Maps on Device or SD

Internet Button to open:

- Default PIE

- Opera Browser on Device

- Opera Mobile 10 on Device or SD

I've noticed that the "Unload from memory" setting doesn't work. So if you use the Action Screen it will cost 92KB of memory. This is no issue for me though.

The Bluetooth\Wifi status is still there. Just a tad nicer :)

Still testing the latest Beta but it seems pretty solid!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Well done!

Download Link Not Working

Hey mccune,

Tried downloading the 3.7 but the download link seems to be broken.

Please check if you have the time.

Regards,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
No need to quote the complete changelog LOL

Fixed the URL and it's ready for download! :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Downloading 3.7 NOw

Downloading now, will post feedback soon....

Thanks ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hello McCune,

I cannot synchronize notes with Outlook in 3.7. I had same issue in 3.5, so I just switched to an official Rom to check if it was due to Outlook, and I synchronized successfully with official Rom. I am not sure about older Cosmik Debris... Do you see any reason why it can happen ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Hmmm... the same problem in 3.5... I'll have a look at it ASAP!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
It took me a few hours but I've nailed the Notes sync bug. Removed the download link for now. Uploading bug-fixed 3.7 now!

Thanks for helping me find the bugs :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Upload complete... First post updated with correct link.

Good night all!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Thanks. Everything seems right now. You can call it "final" (maybe)!:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thank you! I think it's the final release as well. Hope you like the new ActionScreen and the soft key action when you put the device in landscape!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
The new 18 buttons Action Screen is very nice indeed. I did not see your landscape creation yet because I reassigned the soft key to "search" and use a hard key to launch Action Screen at any time (with Rhodium Keyboard Controller). I launch "launchaction.mcsr" to launch Action Screen with the hard key. What should I launch in order to see Action Screen in landscape ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
In my ROM the left soft key is assigned to CosmikActionButton.mscr by default.

It's a fairly easy script but does the job very well for me.

This is not a very active thread. I hope it's because all users are satisfied with the Cosmik Debris ROM rather than people fancy 6.5 more on the Rhodium.

I'm still tempted to move to Android but my Rhodium seems to be better and more stable now than I could ever imagine. My checklist for Android is nowhere near complete so I'll stick with my Rhodium for a couple months I guess...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
The landscape Cosmik Action Screen is excellent, I like when it disappears if I press the same button which launched it, too bad that the original Action Screen does not behave the same (the original stays on screen for 4 s ).

I guess you have a lot of silent users. On most other Rom threads you have posts about freezed screen or phone not ringing, you should not complain too much about not having any! I never experienced a freeze with Cosmik Roms...

And when you go for Android, please tell in what forum you'll write, so that we can follow your work. I might follow you in one year or so, the new Android PDAs look nice...

Thierry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
Ah McCune I say it isn't active much because of how perfect your ROM is :D! I freaking LOVE your ROM hah screw WM 6.5, it is just like Vista which sucked.

Would love to see your Android ROMs too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
ROM running as smooth as .... for days now. Very happy with the way it is at the moment.

Attached a CAB to increase the audio of the device. Works very well for me, except when you record conversations it might be too loud so you have to set the volume a little lower.

Been using this CAB for over a week now and I'm pretty happy with it.

The reason I decided to post it as a CAB is because there where reports of crackling sounds with previous releases. This file can be removed after installation so it doesn't harm your setup ;)

Can't remember where I actually got this file since I currently have multiple modified AudioPara files. This one actually is very close to the original that's currently in Cosmik Debris r3.7.

Please report!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
Hey McCune, ROM is perfect for me and don't want this thread to end up being on the later pages, best ROM ever and wish people wouldn't be so ignorant and use all those crappy slow ROMs that are all eye candy and slowness/buggy.

Once again, thank you so much for this ROM :).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Advice Needed

Hey,

I am sorry for bringing up something that I have already discussed partially here before, but I am finding it really odd that with loads of free RAM available on your ROM, SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 still has a strong and low responsiveness. Can you advice anything that I should do. (A Man in desperation)

Also, I got blank screens twice yesterday evening and the phone would not respond, so I had to soft reset.

Regards,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Is there any (6.1) ROM that does run smooth for you?

I don't use SBSH Mobile.

I constantly run the following programs:

PocketBreeze

PhoneWeaver

SPB Time

SPB Weather

MagiCall

PocketInformant

And I must say I have not had one problem yet...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] juppi:
Hey guys,

i have an HTP Tuch Pro2 europe with german keyboard.

What must i do to config the ROM for my german keyboard???

thanks

Juppi
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
The German keyboard is implemented in my ROM. QWERTZ should be working :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hello Mc Cune,

Your script for Action screen gave me the idea to rotate before launching Action Screen, when TP2 is in landscape mode. I was missing some buttons too much.

However, the modification I made to your script rotates, but then displays Action Screen just for a tenth of a second, and there is no time to tap an Action Screen button. Any idea on how to correct this ?

The modified script:

Check = RegRead("HKLM", "System\GDI\Rotation", "angle")

If (Check = "270")

run ("\Program Files\Zenyee\Rotate Screen\Set.lnk")

Else

EndIf

run ("\windows\ActionScreen\LaunchAction.mscr")

Edit : inserting a 5s pause (sleep 5000) before "run" did the job. I guess the delay is due to the phonealarm skin...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
A nice solution.

You could even create two different ActionScreen layouts. One that just shows up in portrait. And one that has the same buttons only flipped 90 degrees.

Just like the BT\WiFi status buttons.

There is of course the problem with the rotation but it could work.

I've currently replaced "Shake & Save" by a program that's called Whip2Snap. Reason for this is the program supports saving to SD-Card. Have been numerous times where I reflashed my device and forgot to put the screenshots from the device on my SD ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Thanks Again!!!

Thanks Mccune for your response.

Yes there is a WM6.1 ROM that runs smooth for me, & that is yours, LOL.... But I have also tried various WM6.1 Rhodium ROMs floating here at XDA. I am not particularly fond of the Sense/TF3D interface, just seems so not accesible and heavy on the device (don.t know why I am mentioning this here).

I have finally decided to give up on Mobile Shell, I think its is just too much for the TP2 to handle, especially the #D message viewer. I think it is some issue because of the hardware acceleration that Mobile Shell needs. I even tried various builds of mobile shell 3, 3.5, 3.5.1, 3.5.3, 3.5.5 but the same problem and lag with every 3.5 build that has the 3D messaging viewer. Plus, there is also an abrupt lag at times that if all of a sudden.

So, I have now shifted to Pointui Home2 Pro 2.1.06c; which I had already used earlier. I onle thing that appealed me about mobile shell was the 3D viewer, but now that its not working as it should (probably I'll use it when I upgrade to HD2 or may be something faster than that too... ;) )

But for now I am pretty satisfied with Home2 Pro, fast and smooth as any interface should be when integrated with your device.

Thanks again for all the feedback and help.... And also for the great ROM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Advice / Info

Hey mccune,

I am facing this one issue after installation and running Pointui Home2 Pro on your ROM, can you advice something.

After a couple of hours (i.e. after soft reset of my device) the moment I start either Opera / Iris / Google Maps, these applications startup but after 5-10 seconds they automatically exit.

Could this be because of Pointui Home2 ?

Please advice, as this is the only issue I am facing at the moment, everything else runs smooth and great.

Thanks in advance.... :)

Regards,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kistaro:
Okay, I think I love this ROM. Switching back to WM6.1 highlighted for me just how much better I liked Windows Mobile when it embraced its roots rather than trying to hijack features of the Android/iPhone interface extremely poorly. (Insert my passionate hatred for its gesture behavior here.)

I think I found a weird glitch, though, although it may just be related to known limitations around black color schemes. If you set a wallpaper, then switch themes, then switch back, system color won't be applied correctly (taskbar hue will). A soft reset, then unsetting the wallpaper, will fix it (wallpaper can then be reset). Known?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
The only thing I can think of is that the HTC TaskManager is closing the programs. Report your memory usage when using PointUI Home.

You could disable auto kill in the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]

"EnableAutoKill"=dword:00000001 > "EnableAutoKill"=dword:00000000

I guess the Cosmik Debris theme is lacking some registry values. I will have a look at this when I find the time. One thing you should never do is load WM6.5.x themes on WM6.1. They can break your color scheme beyond repair :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Hey, thanks for the quick reply, I will definitely try the reg. edit that you suggested...

My free memory with Pointui running is over 128 MB at boot and always between 105-118 MB even after 2 days without soft reset.

Regards,

EDIT: Just made the Reg. Edit.... will report back... Thanks

EDIT 2: Hey Mccune, I tried the Reg. Edit that you suggested and soft reset the device.... but the same problem is happening again.....

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]

"EnableAutoKill"=dword:00000001 > "EnableAutoKill"=dword:00000000
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
Hey McCune ROM is perfect but just one inconvenience; when I clicked on spell check that I got the error "The spelling check has encountered an error"... any idea how to fix it? Did I mess it up somehow lol?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Strange... I've got the idea that HTC TaskManager is killing programs after a while as soon as you get below 90MB of free RAM.

I've tried these two settings in my registry and they worked successfully:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]

"EnableAutoKill"=dword:00000001

"MemoryThreshold"=dword:00400000

I've attached a screenshot with a lot of programs open. They didn't close even after a few minutes.

Therefore I'm wondering what could cause your programs to close. Don't know if PointUI has some kind of TaskManager built-in?

Can't remember I've seen an option to do some spell checking so this has to be a program that's not in the ROM by default right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
!!!

I think you might be right about the task manager, Pointui does have a built-in task manager of its own... But I do not know how to disable it... may be thats whats killing my programs...

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Official TP2 SMS update

Hello McCune,

Do you think the update here would be useful on your Rom? It is said to be quicker, with better threading. Would it work?

The MMS does not work well for me, I received just one on ten, they fail downloading, I am tempted to try updating..

Cheers

Thierry

Great Rom with Resco Contact Manager

Hello McCune,

I come back to your great rom for several reasons, speed, memory & stability.

One area missing for me was today screen usability. But after trying Resco Contact Manager & Ccalender on your rom its perfect. The combination makes for the fastest user friendly Tilt 2 rom I have found to date. Thanks for the great work!:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I've had a look at the patch when it was released. But it looks like it's only for Manila users...

Sounds good. You're always free to post a screenshot of your setup of course :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Thresher:
Another convert is here! I have used every Tilt rom I could find and have always had issues. Even the stock At&t rom would have lockups and freezes (mostly landscape/portrait keyboard switching issues, sip vs hardware).

Anyway, I stumbled across this rom, tried it, and am in love with it's stability. I simply put spb pocket plus with battery bar, custom x button, and home screen quick launch and have found the phone to be awesome.

No lockups so far, and tons of speed. Finally this thing does as I expect.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
Hmm well I mean the spell checker in the default SMS program (tmail.exe) :/. I do use it a lot (haven't because phone disconnected so using the internet only lol) and it always worked in your previous ROMs.

That's my only issue, if it isn't fixable then screw it, your ROM is flawless regardless lol.

Oh also, someone made a .cab to where you can install either sense 2.1 or sense 2.5 if people love your ROM and also want to use Sense in it but I suggest Sense 2.1 because 2.5 wasn't really optimized for the Touch Pro2 ;p.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
@buru898

Try the attached file. Fixed the spell checking problem for me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sichr:
Hi there,

I'd like to give a try to this ROM, but I can't see the download link (I am logged in here) - is there something wrong with me?

For now I'm satisfied user of Jackos Oldschool ROM (w6.1 as well), bus as I use SPB Mobile Shell instead of TouchFlo Jackos suggested to have a look at some ROM without Manila.

Thank you

EDIT:

Mea culpa, I'm a bit tired and don't read properly... Sorry, of course the attachments are there...
