Anybody any luck on hiding the lower bar?

I like the Cosmik Debris 3.4 rom for its speed and stability and have been using it and the earlier ones for a while.

Just want to check to see if anybody has any luck on hiding the lower bar on 6.1 roms. I have tried nuenobar,vjtoggletoday, remove bottom bar...etc. They seemed to work as my pocket breeze appeared to have extended itself but some services (I suspect) have covered it again. They used to work in the other 6.1 roms earlier...

@thierry2064

I also use BatteryStatus. Actually I had it implemented in my very first build. But due to new updates I decided it was better to leave it out.

@stanip

I don't use any program to hide those softkeys so I can't really help you out here.

@all

I was thinking that I could leave cleanRAM out of the ROM. Even with heavy duty I manage to get the memory down to about 50MB. When all programs are closed I still get ~ 110MB of free RAM even when I haven't reset the device for a couple of days.

Really taking out this program and replace the audio files with the previous files is all I can think of for the moment. So I'm tempted to call the next release the FINAL RELEASE!

I now have a camera so I can shoot a few small vids. The idea is to put these on YouTube. Don't know when this will be ready. In this vid I want to show you and readers of my (Dutch) blog the way I use my device. For others this would give them the opportunity to show what this ROM really looks like, and how fast, or slow, this ROM actually is. ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hello Mc Cune,

I don't think CleanRam is necessary either. Actually anything you can get a cab for is not necessary. Maybe you can provide the cab compatible with your rom in a zipped folder, just to be sure ?

I agree Cosmik Debris 3.5 could be final. I would be grateful if you can look at a new implementation though: would it be possible to have the WM6.5 lock screen in Cosmik? It is the only thing I miss from the WM6.5 Rom, and it would alllow me not to use S2U2, which is a ram & battery eater...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ourtech:
I just installed your 3.4 ROM and I have to say that I appears to be quality work. I have been looking for a clean ROM and yours is very close to what I wanted. So far my only observation is that One Note is not part of your Office cab. There are some of us that use it. I am sure that I can find a cab somewhere, but it won't work with your clean arrangement of folders. I have only had it loaded for 20 minutes, so I need more time to test, but if my experience mirrors others that have reported here, then it is a keeper. Thanks for your efforts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ourtech:
Now that I have used it I have to say that it is stable. The only little glitch that I have is that after disconnecting my bluetooth headset I have the message that "Your bluetooth headset is disconnected. Please place the phone to your ear." I only have the option to hide rather than to clear it. It will take a soft boot to get rid of it. I have never seen this message before and I don't need it.

Apparently others have seen this on other ROMS. There is a thread that discusses it and offers some fixes. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=526257

I hope that some of these fixes can be incorporated. There is an app that appears to solve the problem but it leaves the app installed when a simple cab file would do nicely. Other than that I have most of my apps installed sans One Note and I have 314MB of storage and 106MB of program memory left. Very impressive.

I do hope that you will turn your attention to the 6.5 WWE ROM and perform the same changes to it once you have finalized this ROM. There are some useful improvements in 6.5 that would work well once all of the junk is removed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Haven't seen anyone successfully implemented the WM6.5 lock screen into a WM6.1 ROM. :(

You can disable the BT notifications when you use Cosmik Debris Settings: Start\Programs\System\Settings\
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ourtech:
Thanks, but that is and has been a non-functional icon since I first loaded your ROM. The message says either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can't be found. It didn't seem worth reporting at the time as I have other tweaking utilities.

Also, while I am at it, I need to locate a cab with the default ringtones. I have searched all over and I can't find one. I could reload the factory ROM and copy them off, but frankly your ROM is working so well that I hate to have to redo it. Perhaps it is because I was running 6.5 before, but there seem to be a much smaller number of tones of all types and only one ringtone in particular. Suggestions?

Edit: I flashed the old T-Mobile ROM and copied the ringtones. When I reflashed your ROM the Cosmic Debris Settings worked. The link was now functional. As far as I know all it working as it should. Your ROM is definitely a keeper.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Rather than flashing a Rom, you can download htcrie and get the files from any nbh rom file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ourtech:
Thanks a ton. That is a really useful tip. I had never come across that tool before but it is one that I wondered about before I reflashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hey McCune, so when is this final release? I'd like to get rid of cleanram too (I did not find a way to deactivate it, never had a need for it on any Rom). I also plan to run Task 29 (setting Rom to 0 before flashing, I suspect some past issues could be linked to old code not deleted...).

Cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Been using the ROM for a while now and I thought it would be wise to wait and see if something was broken. But the truth is that for me the ROM runs so well that I see no reason to change anything.

This week I will post the final release!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rr100:
Best ROM ever!:cool: Thanks mccune!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
Yeah, my fav rom, I use the cosmic deb. r.2 since release .... I think that I flash the final 3.5 when its ready. Yesterday I had a HD2 / LEO in my hand .... but I don't want it with manila and win 6.5. Like the tp2 more.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Falk:
Dito! This is the best WM ROM I have ever used and also the last. I'm in the process of moving over to Android and probably would have made the switch already if it wasn't for Cosmik Debris. Heck, I wouldn't mind if there was no v3.5 - there is literally nothing left to fix ;-) In that sense, a big compliment to you, mccune!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thank you all for the kind words. Like Falk I'm in the process of moving to Android as well. The fact is that I have had the option for a new device since February. Although Android is moving with giant paces it's still not at the same point as my current Windows Mobile device. This is very personal I know!

There are some things I have not been able to find on an Android device.

One of the main things is actually a very basic feature. Call and audio quality. Even a marvelous device like the HTC Desire can't make me put my TouchPro2 aside.

The only device that seem to fulfill most of my needs seems to be the Droid, or Milestone in my case.

From this point another problem emerges. Software. I can do certain things with my TP2 that I don't find very satisfying on Android. Like I said it's moving with big paces but it's not quite there for me.

At the moment I'm building the latest (I hope) Beta ROM. I hope to have it ready during the weekend. I've decided to change back the older Task Manager because v3.3 looka a bit too messy. :P

Sorry for this partially off-topic post ;-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Small update:Today I've made a few changes. Will see if they cause any problem but I can't really imagine why they would. So I have no real release date for you people.

There is also some good news. I'm using the ROM 24/7 now to test it :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
sounds good ..... but why Android ? I like my "offline" calendar in my device only sync with outlook on my PC, and my contacts too. No one must have my contacts ..... online!! Thats one reason why the win mob. 6.1 roxx. for social networks are enough tools availble like skype, twaddle, palringo ....

I stay by the tp2 with your rom, that device is a mini Notebook for me !! the keyboard roxx. Don't need a wepad (wetab) or another tablet-pc or netbook.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I have to admit that that's the same reason I'm still using the TP2.

The biggest pro is for me also the biggest con with Android, the tight integration with Google. Sure I have a G-Mail account but it's not my main account.

I am afraid that it won't take long for Android to surpass Windows Mobile. The reason I would switch to Android is hobby. I'm just curious how it performs against WinMo.

The TouchPro2 is one of a kind if you ask me!

Uploading the final ROM as we speak!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Here is the changelog from r3.4 > 3.5 final

- PagePool 20MB

- Downgraded Task Manager 3.3 > 3.1

- Replaced audio files (no more crackling sound)

- Removed CleanRAM

- Bluetooth warning disabled by default

- Compressed a few images

This is a very small update but it should polish out all small problems you had in previous releases.

TaskManager 3.3 is just to messy to my eyes so I decided to downgrade. You can install the latest yourself if you really want it.

Al previous ROM's are removed since this is the ROM like it should be!

Updated the first post. Upload should be finished within 3 minutes...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
ROM Uploaded....

Added a new UC file to the first post...

Have fun all! Hope you'll like the 3.5 final release!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
okok ... since r.2.0 NOW I flash your 3.5 :D

lalala best rom for my tp2 :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
Hmm, I install G-Wheather and nothing was shown on the homescreen. In r.2 it was working

I flashed the rom again .... g-weather is working now correct
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I've installed the latest trial of G-Weather to test and I have no problem what so ever. I don't want to sound rude but did you enable the today plug-in?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
Long press end key to lock the device,how?

in settings/personal/buttons/,there is no way to change end button key function,I only can make long press send button(that is call button)=lock device.

how to set Long press end key to lock the device?

Long press end key only to bring up Communications (flight mode,wifi,3G,push mail......on or off).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
As far as I know the End Key is not configurable trough settings.

To change the behaviour of the end key edit the following file in the Windows folder: Long_End.lnk
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
I've only a problem sometimes with my device. The device sometimes is going slow ..... I have flashed the rom zwo times and hard reset. Now all is working very fast here ... only the device hangs a little after youtube close.

great rom !! damn much ram free, much more than in r.2.0. Who needs a HD2 ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nokiadashi:
thanks for tip,I found this Long_End.lnk,when I open it,it brings up the communications setting,then I open it with notepad,it says:

30#"\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe"

I think we should change 30#"\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe" to somthing like 30#"\Windows\LockDevice.exe".......

Anyone know how to change the line to let Long End Key associated with lock device?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DarkPlex:
At first: Nice, Stable and Very fast ROM^^

Just one Question.

When i'm calling i hear my own voice in my Phone. But it's only on this ROM. I use an Unbranded TP2 with Radio 4.49.25.91. Has someone the same problem?

greetz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Hmmm.... I don't have an answer for this one. I don't use the feature either :(

I have tried many radio ROM's and none of them cause echo on my side. The older ROM release had slightly different audio settings that increased the sound. This could cause echo but I've never experienced it.

You could change the setting of the noise reduction in the phone settings?

This setting is under the last tab when you open phone settings. Default is "Automatically". You might try and disable it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gzlittle:
very nice,I need it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
now I test the last rom since release ;) it works very very nice, fast and stable.

no problens now. I hope that enough win mobile software is available in the future. I don't want a palm, android, iphone, blackberry or win7 mob.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hello, rom is even faster than previous build. But I cannot find in my phone the mms I just received. Never tried reading mms before... What is the way?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
MMS should be just in your Inbox (SMS). It's works just fine on my device. Just tested it for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
The second mms I received went in the inbox (I sent it myself, not very useful but...). I wonder where the first one went:confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hello Mc Cune,

Coming back to an old wish, would it be possible to get a final Cosmik Debris without "Action Screen", as I'd like to use my own version with a small green light included in the bluetooth icon, telling if BT is on or off (same with wifi), here. It works with a Mortscript script that I adapted to Rhodium. The green light does not work on Roms with Action Screen preinstalled.... Or maybe you have an idea how to fix the green light ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
Hey, I just received the MMS which was sent to me yesterday... You'd better not have an emergency with my ISP!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Funny you mention this. Today I was working on a solution with the landscape ActionScreen. Did not quite finish it but it looks like it needs some more work.

Concerning the 18 btn Action Screen you posted and I've attached a small fix. Just open the REG file on your device using TotalCommander :)

Let me know if this fixes it for you! It worked on my end...

All it does is change the target of the left soft key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]

"Open"="\\Windows\\ActionScreen\\LaunchAction.mscr"

@="Action"

Thankfully the problem it's not in my ROM!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thierry2064:
I guess your Rom will become even more popular then, I do not remember having seen a landscape Action Screen, I am looking for it!

Thanks for the kind and fast support, it worked :)

It's kind of weird because I do nt use this left soft key, but Rhodium keyboard controller in order to launch Action Screen with the Windows key. Your fix worked on this Windows key too... I'll try to figure it out later...

No you are right, your rom did not hide my MMS. Actually I did receive the notification of the MMS at once, but the MMS itself came on the second day... These things are also weird!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
A litttle slowdown experience

Hey mccune,

I have been using your 3.5 Final (must say - great & stable as they come) for about a week now, running on an unlocked TP2 with SPB MS 3.5.3.

I am noticing a few slow downs with the MS 3D Msg Viewers & also the response at times is a bit slow and laggy. Can you suggest what theproblem could be, or what I can do to speed things up a bit, I am totally addicted to SPB MS and prefer it over any other user interface.

I have tried Pointui as well, have to say that is pretty slick & smooth as compared to MS on your ROM.

Any suggestions/advice is really appreciated.

Regards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] flexoduss:
Everytime i installed kfortouchpro+morphgear after a reset the rom gets stuck @ the splash screen.

I already reinstalled the rom like 5 times and i flashed my phone using the task 29 method.

Don't know how to solve this i love playing gameboy tetris on my phone can't live without it :D haha.

For the rest love this rom fast and clean as hell goede sjit :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
Using the new 3.5, everything works except calling... weird thing.

I open a music file (.mp3) and windows media player opens, no sound, sort of freezes, then it says I have no signal, then connects again and from then on my sound doesn't work at all.

Another thing is that I reboot and sound works fine but when I dial a number and press call, the phone makes no noise (earpiece or speaker) and it vibrates to say it connected, but no noise and says I'm connected (friend said the call went through but nada) and when clicked on speaker all I hear is static.

There's no way it was something I installed because I didn't install anything new or do anything differet... guess I'll just go back to 3.4 unless someone can tell me a fix?

Also, I used that task29 or whatever it's called before flashing so it's a clean install.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Maybe you could try to change the PagePool of the ROM and see if that improves the speed for you. I don't use Mobile Shell so can't say anything about slow downs. Also check the different Beta's there are. Might be that the official from their site is actually working better or the other way around.

Will have a look at that if I find the time. Never tried morphgear on my device.

What radio do you use? I just tried it again and I have no problems with MP3 whatsoever.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Easy Today Launcher is a small today plugin that works very well with Cosmik Debris. Posted here to support the dude that made the plugin ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
I have radio 4.49.25.91... which do you use?

Well I can't make any calls or receive any calls, it's just no noise and on speaker all I hear is static even when it says connected and no ringing when I'm trying to connect either, but it vibrates to say I'm connected.

I did a factory reset and freshly flashed and still get the same problem, went back to 3.4 and everything works fine.

I do notice an improvement in speed but my whole problem prevents me from using your ROM :'(.

Is there any way the ROM could have been downloaded to where it's corrupted or something? Or would my phone have not booted at all if it were corrupted or even get past the custom ruu if it were?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nileshvedi:
Thanks

Hey mccune, thanks for the response, will definitely try out whatever is possible.

Regards,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I've used different radio's. At the moment I'm using the radio you see in my sig.

Please try the attached file and see if this solves the problem. You must perform a soft reset before testing.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] buru898:
I flashed your radio and even re-downloaded the 3.5 just to make sure and the same stuff happened :(.

So I installed the cab from your previous post and it works now!!

Lol wow thanks... why do you think I got that problem??

I'll install all my stuff and keep using your ROM and report back if anything might happen!

Thanks McCune :D!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Xodium:
It seemed every ROM I tried that was based on 6.5 was really unstable on my Tilt2.

I gave your ROM a shot, and holy crap, this ROM is the most rock solid ROM I've ever used.

Mad props for this.

EDIT: Save for the unable to call problem, which was fixed with that cab, I stand by what I said. Anyone who needs a clean, fast, and stable ROM, this is awesome.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] halorin:
So far so good. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thank you! Personally I think this ROM is very stable. Thinking about removing FingerKeyboard or not. The reason I use FingerKeyboard is the Tap&Hold feature for www, copy\paste etc.

Con about this keyboard is that you lose the ability to use accents like é, ë etc.

Wonder what you users think of this....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] halorin:
Well, I've tried it out since I last posted and I have to say to say it IS in fact very stable. It runs well, and handles PointUI very nicely. What's brought me back to another 6.5 ROM is that I miss the smoothness of the menu scrolling and some of the UI updates. The scrolling in this ROM certainly keeps up with kinetic finger scrolling from a framerate standpoint, but the display is choppy. I do miss the simplicity of 6.1's Pocket Outlook, though. :D

This is a good ROM for those who like 6.1's lean stability.

I did run into some display issues with using the Leo Dialer cab I have. I think it has something to do with 6.1's list handling.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Understand what you mean. That's one of the reasons why I DO like WM6.5 but overall WM6.1 is still my first choice.

Got some good feedback from a friend of mine that tried my device after it was fully configured. Hope to create a YouTube video to show users how I actually use my device on daily use.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
Very much still interested, Its just I need a UI:p. Also, can we get a tmobile version?

I would love to see this vid:).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I need to start acting classes before I can show up on YouTube LOL

What do you mean by T-Mobile version? This ROM is unbranded and I'm running it on my Vario V which is the Dutch T-Mobile version of the TouchPro2.

Concerning testing I've managed to get XDA_UC to work with this ROM. Made some suggestions in that thread to make it more tidy. I will use the original version before uploading the new ROM. This to prevent any mistakes with other XDA_UC ROM's. Working this way you can almost use SASHIMI, but not for the time being...

I also believe that graphic support is a little better now. But this also good be a placebo effect after a lot of testing ;) SPB Wallet and Resco Explorer are scrolling on my device now without any chopping images.

So far the latest changes concerning this project...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] halorin:
If you somehow remove the chopping image when scrolling I'd more than likely make this my main ROM. It was a really snappy ROM. I've just become used to the aesthetics of the newer WM versions. :)

Remember when the Cube was hot? XD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
The cube is still fire:D!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Got an old Touch Cruise. For me the cube was more useful than HTC Sense :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GermanGuy:
I am currently running the TMOUS stock ROM on my Rhodium since this is the only 6.1 ROM that supports bluetooth dialing. Any chance you could bring this feature over to your ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I don't use that feature on my device so I can't say if it works. If it's a default feature it should still be in this ROM...
