Report XT Pandora 1.1

Hi Guys,

Finally after a long time I am doing this again :) I never thought that I would change my HTC HD until the HD2 came on.. and after using Pdaviet, Miri, Itsje .. I am back on Pandora... so here are my thoughts

(Definitely 6.5 is much stable than 6.5.3)

1. Over all quite a good and stable ROM - personally I like bigger three row icon.. the 4 row looks a little bit messy.. but ofcourse.. quite an eyecandy

2. CleanRAM - a big issue (atleast for me).. i generally run level 3 once in a in a day.. but using whichever level in this ROM its gets stuck.. even after excluding Manila.. its still slows the whole ROM after cleaning.. so removed it from the ROM.. tried BSB Ram Sweeper, it has the same issue. I couldnt reproduce this in the stock ROM

2a. BSB tweaks is also quite unstable.. specially when I try to chane the left soft key.. or if I want some programs to stop from rotating.. on that note.. anyone with a registry tweak to avoid rotation of the phone when I am in call.. like the dialing screen should not rotate..

3. I use the opera very frequently. And have a habit to clear the cache using ClearTemp every now and then to make sure the memory is fair. But on this ROM, the ClearTemp doesnt sho any opera cache files. I tried Opera:config < doesnt work... So wondering where the cache files are..

4. The speed of the ROM is much notcieable. Very nice.. first ROM I have used in many years where the Windows folder loads almost within a couple of seconds :) Great work.

5. Memory.. Am just a little concerned about the memory usage.. generally on the stock the memory usage remains under 50%.. with XT it goes up to almost 59% through the day use.. not a big problem.. but more memory i have free the ROM remains as faster.

6. Battery.. so far so good.. down on 69% from a full charge at 8AM till now about 5PM.. maybe about 20 mins of calls.. 25 odd smses.. 15 mins of opera.. and ofcourse.. a lot of playing with the ROM and a few Soft resets.. i think it will get better with more charge cycles.

7. SMS problem.. almost fixed with the new hotfix on the HTC site.. was wondering Xany.. if there is a way to isolate HTC messaging and have just the WM messaging.. ugly but atleast its very very stable.

8. Love the games... quite a past time :) Possible to have individual cabs for this? Was give it to my gf who is on the Xperia..

9. There is abosulutely no sound problem.. although I do feel that there has to be registry tweak to increase the system and ring volume beyond what is on the phone. Any thoughts?

10. I loved the black dialer in the HD..trying to search for a similar one for HD2.. anyone?

OVERALL.. the phone is much resonsive and stable.. no noticeable crash.. i generally SR my phone everynight... just a habit..

Great work Xany.. A much deserved beer.. from my side (Confirmation number: 4LA65168KY681290M)

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
thanks a lot for your donation and your report ;)

i lost the cabs of the games but some of them are easy to find on xda or google.

usingjust wm messaging with new manila will give problems not real, but someone will complain ... if i have time i can do some experimentations
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
No worries mate.. if you could do some testing with cleanram and BSB as well.. and anyway to incr the incall volume or the system/ring volume with registry tweak (like for HD we had the Audio Boost cab... ) other than that its all good.. when are you coming to 6.5.3?

And for WM messaging.. hmmm u r probably right.. well if u have time.. would love to see the ever so clean and fast XT ROM without the HTC msg :D Cheers man!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Eagledig:
Lol I have again the problem with password ! I rewritte it, I copy it from the post, I try on other PC : impossible !

Edit: I try with IZArc : it's the same problem, but to extract other .rar files with password, I don't have problem, only with this rom.

I am not mistaken password, because when I wrote it extracts the file and told me after he made a mistake. If I enter an incorrect password it tells me right away without extracting the file.

I really would like your rom !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
i did not find any problems i use winrar to compress and no problem on my files so maybe is something you do decompressing them or writing the password;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Seg2009:
Fantastic

Xanny.

I would like to say I have been using your ROM for about 3 weeks now. Changed after the 1st week just to check out someone else's work, but put your ROM back on. I personally really like your ROM and find it fast and stable. I have no disire to change to any other ROM as the ones I have tried don't compare IMO in asthestics and performance.

Thanks.

I would like to make a suggestion having full rotation support for everything, like homescreen, as I use my phone quiet often with a car kit and it is a pain in the ass tilting your head to use your phone.

Other than that mate, fantastico.

I am trying to disable the screen rotation while in call.. can anyone help??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Hi Xanny,

I just saw this FANTASTIC voice input feature on Nexus One ....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laOlkD8LmZw

Do you think you can look into it and include it in HD2's ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
LSK while replying SMS

Anyway to chane the left softkey in HTC Messages to "Reply" when we open the message?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KB24@CL:
CSMI 1.4 is out and its a lot better than the 1.3 version...

don't forget to include it in the next version :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
Not able to incr the text size while reading/ replying sms... tried the text size incr in settings>system>screen>text size...

Any help..

And please.. is there a way to stop the SMS/ incall screen etc to rotate.. very irritating.. i like the normal.. photos/music and opera to rotate..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
suggestion

Hi Xany.. just had a small suggestion for your next dish!

Would it be possible to put the lock slider at the bottom ofthe scrren..would be easier to unlock :)

BTW: is there a new Pandora coming out??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mithrandir007:
Impressive ROM !

Hey Xanny!

I've installed this ROM a few days ago, and I must say I'm pretty impressed.

Very stable and fast (I don't have those weird slowdowns I used to have on the stock ROMs anymore).

I don't really have a problem with anything, besides the 20 icons.

I'm not sure I want to install Max Manila just for that, unless I'm sure it won't slow down the phone (could you confirm that, maybe?)

I was also wondering if you could post the cab of your theme please, I accidentally uninstalled it when I wanted to remove the black clock skin.

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] krijger:
This is a great rom, stable and fast.

An idea for the new rom:

I have changed the radio to 2.06.51.07 The reception is much better in the Netherlands and the battery drain is also lower.

Keep up the good work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KB24@CL:
I haven't had any slowdowns with max manila (I used max manila for more than a week now)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KB24@CL:
of course there is a new ROM coming out.

My guess is that XannyTech isn't one of those guys that produce roms at a high rate, which is indeed a good thing.

You look at some ROMs and they get updated every other day and you look at the changelog and it says

"general optimization"

or

"some big fixes"

or

"packages updated"

and thats it. Then you install and don't see any changes.

Its probably more intelligent to actually make major upgrades before publishing another ROM because people will eventually get sick of flashing, hard-reseting and setting up their device several times every week.

Once Pandoro 1.2 (?) or maybe 2.0 (?) is released, you can hopefully expect noticable changes. Xanny said he is waiting for a new wm build (and sense build) to leak before updating the ROM which is fine for me because then you know there will be significant changes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Quinny:
Hi xanny could you implement this clock from x1 thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=580573

Looks better then transparent one you used and fits nicely with your theme.

just my opinion!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mithrandir007:
Thanks for the feedback, I might give it a try.

I guess I can always uninstall it if I have problems with it anyway ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sonydesouza:
I'm just waiting new release and i'm pissed about people who ask all the time..."Hey xanny can you remove this" or "Xanny can you add this..."

:cool:

The rom is great except maybe cleanram...

If people want add or remove ANYTHING, flash a light version...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] netfan55:
Here is my homescreen with your pandora-rom, another clock, with maxmanila, so i think if i as a noob can do this, other can do it too, only voice command imho is necessary.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Quinny:
i was only asking as people have said they didn't like the transparent clock and me being one of them!!!

i am an avid xanny user but at the end of the day it is up to the chef what he includes. was just offering him another option for his consideration.

everything in the rom works great for what i use and fast as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mithrandir007:
Could you tell me where you found that Black Clock please?

Btw, I agree with you with the fact that it shouldn't become overloaded with things people ask..

Everyone wants something different, so it's better to have a good and stable base rom like it is now (with only software useful for most people), then let people add what they want.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] netfan55:
look at post 612, there is a link.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mithrandir007:
Thanks, I appreciate it :)

good work xanny

only i got issues with link contact to facebook.

or is that just me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
Battery problem

I just noticed some battery backup issues..

Fully chraged my phone at about 7AM..

Now its about 12.45 (noon) and with pretty much minimal usage.. (maybe 10 mins of calls.. 2-3 smses - nothing else) its down to 91%

Also I have seen a gradual incr in memorey usage.. from a fresh restart at about 48% used to about 52% use now..

The only third party program installed are:

Cleartemp

G-alarm

Nothing is running on the back ground..

Hmmm.. on BSB tweaks.. I have turned on Power Management.. now wondering if Power Management was already tweaked in Pandora, maybe me turning it on from BSB has actually turned it off...

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mithrandir007:
I actually had a problem with facebook contact pictures twice.

All the pictures were gone, and I had to soft reset then update the facebook events of those contacts to get the pictures back (simply updating without soft reset didn't work).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Beefheart:
I don't know if this is as a result of this rom, but when I receive an MMS photo, it is absolutely tiny. I have also sent a photo to myself that was 54k when sent but 5k when received.

Any resolution to this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
try just one of these setting and let me know it's common with UK users and just for few providers...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] krijger:
The battery drain is normal. I use this radio software version 2.06.51.07, that will decrease the power consumption.

Memory usage will go up to 56% and then it stops. It does not infect the performance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Beefheart:
Cheers for the response, before seeing your reply I performed the above with the UserAgent for a Nokia N95 and it worked perfectly.

Thanks for the reply.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
Hi Xanny.. could I request your advise on:

Hmmm.. on BSB tweaks.. I have turned on Power Management.. now wondering if Power Management was already tweaked in Pandora, maybe me turning it on from BSB has actually turned it off...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] optiknerv:
Is it just me or is the sms notification icon on the taskbar still the standard 6.5 "white speech bubble"? I know the call history icon is theamed. Cant remember if it was ever themed or not or whether i have done something. EDIT: Seems its to do with the new SMS Hot Fix.

Would be interested in a cab to restore the original 6.5 icons as i think they would fit in better with my current theme. Or maybe (flame me for suggestions) make it uninstallable. BTW What does uninstalling pandora theme from remove programs actually do? Doesnt seem to do anything and throws up errors on soft reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Beefheart:
EDITED.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClownShoes:
Is anyone able to sync their tasks? I've tried via cable and bluetooth, but neither seems to work. Contacts and emails seem to work fine. Am I missing something? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
TONIGHT PANDORA 1.3 online!

Pandora 1.3 changelog:

- Added 16 Quicklinks Mod

- Changed Right softkey in Manila to Contacts instead of Phone

- some others things that i do not remember ;)

Two versions:

Pandora 1.3

Pandora 1.3 + MSVC
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tristanw:
Can't wait for it!! Why 1.3? I thought it was 1.2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
cause 1.2 was an internal release ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PG101:
The link is still not updated...:( still shows 1.1

Just read properly.. it says tonight :D he he.. Am so excited..

A few things can still be tested?

1- CleanRam.. I would really appreciate Xany to check 1.8 version rather than 1.9 as it definitely cleans more RAM is more efficient. (Attached)

2- if at all the lock slide can be at the bottom of the screen.

3- Also, if at all Xany you have the time, could you list a few main tweaks that you would have done as if one uses BSB and make something on.. for all you know you maybe turning it off :)

Thanks dear Xany
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
i will update all tonight actually packing and then uploading.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] netfan55:
whats about voice command?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
Ok ... I wanted to flashed your 1.1 later but after seeing that Pandora 1.3 is coming out soon .... guess I'll wait.

Can post sooner? So that I can flash the Pandora 1.3.

I still like your ROM because I know that you like the original sms system ... and you also like the "Classic" mode ... which is what I like too.

I also find that your ROM's HTC messaging is also pretty stable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yoyo312:
gret news guy . But it is possible to add your new release in megaupload instead of rapidshare because rapidshare is really overbooked for me .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zaza le Nounours:
I'm sad to read that you removed CoPilot, I was glad it was integrated in the previous versions of your ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] i1magic:
I don't use megaupload or rapidshare ....

I usually download from http://blog.celogeek.com/mobile/mobile-blackstone/mirror-for-xannytechs-roms/

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xannytech:
i will later add a cab for it ok? :rolleyes:

Rapidshare works great, i use the premium one.

There is still only 9 QuickLink box ..... LOL!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] netfan55:

I'm so much in love right now with 1.1, I doubt I will change that anytime soon since the changes aren't exactly huge for the moment...

I'll stick with 1.1 untill some really significant changes (hopefully for the good) are made :D

anyway, the effort is of course appreciated by the community and especially by myself.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yoyo312:
i've tested your rom. It's great and you fixed the clean ram bug . But in the new version, i don't see manilla language manager . You forget it? please add a cab in your mirror for install this program .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KB24@CL:
if you want to change the manila language, just use BSB tweaks...

I always thought that programm is useless and just takes away some valuable memory space.

Hey Xanny, thanks in advance for the CoPilot .cab. I'm still restoring my SMS through MyPhone (how can it be so long to download a few text messages) so I haven't really played with the new 1.3 ROM so far, but I know how I will spend my night at work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yoyo312:
yes . i've found how change the language . It's great .

i've an other bug :

sorry for my bad english,i'm french.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zaza le Nounours:
Ok, I just noticed some strange bug : if I compose a new text message, the text size in the textbox is normal. However, if I choose to compose a text message from the list of messages of one of my contacts, or to reply from Sense, the text size in the text box is so small it's almost impossible to read.
