dear Freyberry.

I have a couple of OFF-TOPIC questions. unrelated to your ROM. But I see you are so knowledgeable, so maybe you know the answers...

1.

1st question: with 6.5.x ROM the there is ONLY one icon for keyboard. The input selector arrow is gone. OK.

But now if I click on the keyboard icon to make it disappear (and so I can see what is in the lower part of the screen) what happens is that instead of the keyboard disappearing, the Option scroll menu appears! sometimes if I click again the keyboard goes off, some other times the scroll windows goes off...In few words it seems very unpredictable...and frustrating.

What am I doing wrong?

If I LONG PRESS the keyboard icon I have a 3rd scroll menu appearing: Touch Input selector.

Any suggestions?

2.

Which Input Keyboard do you recommend? I think Standard Touch input is OK, but I love the CTRL-COPY function! Here there is no. Am I right? Is there a way to enable CTRL COPY and CTRL PASTE with touch input standard Keyboard?

3.

SlideIT crashes this ROM, or maybe is not compatible with 6.5.x

What about alternatives? Which Keyboard do you use or recommend?

4.

Any feedback on touchpal

Thanks

S.A.

found solution!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
1. Klick the keyboard icon on its right side --> the menu appears.

Klick the left side of the keyboard icon --> the keyboard goes away.

2. I use the standard keyboard. I'm missing the c&p function as well, but I don't want to youse another keyboard because of this. I think TouchPal has a c&p feature, and mybe also Fingerkeyboard.

3. Maybe Shapewriter works.

4. I don't know, have not used TouchPal for ages.

573 enabled:

Is it a cosmetic tweak or does it effectively give us 120 more of storage RAM?

After hard reset, on NEW 23519 build I have:

RAM size 448MB (shouldn't be 576MB?)

Flash size 512MB

Storage Size: 274.36 MB

on memory tab I see:

Storage

Total: 274.36MB

In Use:18.39 MB

Free: 255.97

Program:

Total: 346.01 MB

In Use: 118.08

Free: 227.93

After performing a hard reset, on OLD 23518 build, I had these figures:

RAM size 448MB (same as 23519)

Flash size 512MB

Storage Size: 275.73

on memory tab I see:

Storage

Total: 275.73MB

In Use:18.39 MB

Free: 256.94

Program:

Total: 346.03 MB

In Use: 104.20

Free: 241.83

So apparently there is a loss of around 15MB, instead of increase of 120MB of available memory...!

Nothing serious, here, just out of curiosity..

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
It does give you more RAM (= program memory), but you won't benefit from it, because it's already practically impossible to fill 448MB (thus there's no need for an additional 128MB).

The RAM only gets unlocked when you use Radio version 2.06.50.04.

But, as I said, it won't speed up your phone or anything, you will just have 128MB more RAM that you'll probably never use.

Hi Freyberry,

thanks for v6

I cant seem to find 'display' settings in the Control Panel - system or anywhere to change clear type / text size.

Any ideas how to get to it?

Thanks

Chris
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
That setting seems to have disappeared from all new WM versions...

You can change the clear type setting via registry. Maybe I'll find another solution.

I cannot find major issues or glitches.

registry value for "screen" icon

My friend (and for those who are in need..) if the cab doesn't work use a registry editor of your choice and go to:

HKLM/Controlpanel/pen/hide

and change the value from 1 to 0.

Voilà, the icon screen in settings is back as usual and you can activate clear type again. Be sure, it works....

cheers

reset red icon

In the folder "TOOLS" there is a nice application. "RESET" (a red icon)

Is it possible to:

1. isolate and post this "reset red icon" cab, for backup purposes?

2. transfer from TOOLS into the main page (up one level)? If yes, how?

3. assign this application to a hardware button? For example "long-press BACK hardware button"? If yes, how to do?

In fact, I have tried to enter settings > personal > button > but the page is empty and I cannot proceed further to assing a button to a function...

I have installed a second Keyboard (touchpal). After installation it has become the default one.

I wish to keep it, but not as default. If I select the standard touch keyboard, then, at next soft reset, Touchpal comes back, takes the lead as the default one...

There should be some tweaks to make touch Keyboard the default one...aren't in settings > system? I remember in WM 6.1 we could define the default keyboard is settings > personal > input...

Please suggest.

any idea where to download the Compass cab compatible with HD2?

thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
If you're using barebone, the compass can not work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tekguru:
Right makes sense now. Might be an idea to add it to the first post so folks know though! :)

So now I need to decide whether to move to the new 23519 from the threaded email 24001 build which is working sweetly for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] loomx:
Argh! im trying it now but I cannot get myphone to work so cant retrieve my contacts! :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] loomx:
Sorted out the Myphone problem, but the whole rom is quite laggy, it fast but only inbetween the laggy bits... What pagepool is it? I just check with an old pagepool changer I have and it says 6meg! Thats a bit small for a HD2 isnt it? I though around 20 was best for performance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Err, I think you should try to hard reset again, cause I had zero lag so far. I haven't changed the PP, so it's probably 6MB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
Hallo Freyberry

Why cannot work on Barebone?

Which is the "litest" ROM on which I can install both Compass and other GPS appls (like Garmin and TomTom)?

Thanks and waiting
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
It needs the Manila core, which I removed from barebone.

Use lite_WMphone instead, if you need the compass ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
It is OK, I will try. But I am a bit concerned: since I strongly dislike HTC Messaging and all other HTC stuff.

So: if I adopt "lite_WMphone" how many HTC residual tools and apps will I will find embedded in it?

2.

By the way: can you expand a bit why barebone needs manila to run a compass.cab?

I have installed TomTom and it works....so Barebone does support GPS enabled applications...so why I cannot find a compass.cab (which uses GPS) somewhere in internet or on xda forum?

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Only the useful ones. No HTC Sense, no HTC Messaging.

The HTC compass needs the Manila core, otherwise it will not work. Of course, other programs that use the compass (like Google Maps etc.) can still use it, it's just HTC's compass application that doesn't work without the Manila core.

speed issue

Has anyone done the speed tests comparison of this ROM? I read other people's posts and everyone claims speeeeeed and speeeeeeed, yet when I burned this ROM performance was just ok, especially compared with Miri's 2.0 ROM. Is there a chance that we can get the tests results insted of just emotional hurrays? (just an idea...). I am, like you, looking for that ever elusive Moby-**** of a perfect build... : )

HTC Sense Black

Hi Freyberry,

Do you think it is possible to either make a cab or a version of the rom with the Sense in black like in your previous rom versions. If not can you please tell me where I can download version 5.4 ( I belive that has the home screen in HTC Sense in black).

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _Rayearth:
I guess that if you compare this rom with stock it will be "speeeeeed and speeeeeeed" and that's what matters.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Benchmarks can not tell you what the real life performance is like. Just because a ROM has higher scores doesn't mean it's faster.

Mine has some of the highest scores but I won't claim that it's faster than anybody else's, you have to find out yourself.

Dude, it's just a wallpaper! You can easily change that. :rolleyes:

Scroll thick line (right side)

in Phone Canvas there is a scroll bar on the right side, which is not thin and therefore covers part of the phone contacts names and the option-select-black square right of each name.

Is it possible to disable this scroll bar?

In fact I like it in File Explorer (useful to scroll down long lists), but I dislike it in phone canvas.

I guess it is a cab installed by default in my ROM: lite_WMphone ver 6.0

I would like to keep it, but I cannot see any settings for it....

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Tekguru:
Frey one question (I'm still on the ROM prior to the latest one).... In the v6 ROM is the standard WM Photos and Pictures application included?

Asking as in the ROM I have it seems to be missing (at least I can't find it), and it is very useful for setting the picture for the Titanium background.

At the moment I'm having to go into Sense and set the lock screen as that is the same image and then go back to Titanium (which I use at weekends) .

Anyway just thought I'd ask.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
@saulo866

That's how the default WM phone application works, that can't be changed.

@Tekguru

The default picture app is pimg.exe in your Windows directory. It's included, I've just made Album the default, cause that's the only way to make the Titanium softkey open Album instead of pimg.

You can create your own shortcut to pimg.exe (or change the one already in the start menu to point to pimg.exe)

@bogz12

Just go to the settings tab, Personalize and change the home tab wallpaper. The black wallpaper is included in the ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pietrucci:
Just like freyberry and many many other say benchmarks aren't the same as the everyday experience.

But in my opinion (and many others) benchmarks give a good indication.

Indeed freyberry's 24001 V6.0 is fast in my benchmarks (see attach) and it also feels that way in everyday use.

I like this ROM very much, it feels fast, has no real bugs (except for the dialer but that's a bug in this the build) and I like the icons.

Think I'll stick to this for a while...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
Hallo Frey

In your previous answer to me: are you referring to which of my questions?

- Scroll bar?

- or Changing the default keyboard?

The scrollbar. I don't know about the keyboard.

For the reset icon, you can find .cabs on the forum, I don't have one here right now.

Hi frey.

- HTC "date selector" (the huge box that appears when you want to select a date somewhere)

- HTC Battery & Backlight (the box that appears when selecting the "battery icon" in the notification bar)

- HTC font in the "start menu"

- HTC "device information"

sense 2011xxxx

Hi frey.

Are you planning to introduce new sense build (taken from 2.07 rom) 2011xxxx?I read a lot of comments from senior members in others posts and they all agree that is definitely more stable and faster than 1921/1922...in particular many people agree with the fact that if you have wifi open and you (or the system periodically) try to update weather, it freezes... frankly I didn't notice it until they told me... :mad: In fact if I put a periodical update (i.e. 1 hour) for the weather and wifi router is active, unfortunately most of the time it freezes (not always).

Ok, I can live with it, but you know... :p

thx

have a good day.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
No... only 1922 works in landscape mode. I use my phone a lot for navigation in the car, I need that feature.

No, those things can't be removed. The lockscreen is not from HTC, it is from Microsoft, by the way.

Depends on your carrier and where you are. You have to try for yourself, which radio works best for you.

No, it's linked to the HTC social networking framework, which is included in every version except for barebone. Don't know whether it works, though, you must try it.

some strange issues - part 1

I wonder if some of you is experiencing these same strange issues on my HD2 based on ROM - lite_WMphone 23519

I do believe these strange issues are WinMobile 6.5.x related, not ROM related, but anyway I wish some expert can share his ideas and provide suggestions:

AE Button Plus

1. Using AE Buttons Plus: only 2 hardware buttons are recognized: the backspace arrow (botton right, close to phone-off and the home button (2nd from left).

2. ALL OTHER Buttons are not "sensed" so they cannot be mapped.

3. the Home button: only double press and 3rd press can be mapped, since single press "conflicts" with volume UP and volume DOWN.

I mean: if you set up HOME HARDWARE BUTTON > Single press = > rotate clockwise, then Volume Up will rotate clockwise AND also increase volume....very messy...

Can someone confirn these issues? It seems that the russian developer is rather busy (no reply to my email), also there is not a indepth help file, alough that program is surely well done!

Thanks

some strange issues - part 2

some strange issues - part 2

preface: This ROM is really stable and fast, therefore I wish to stick to it and give my feedback/testing so that it can be improved...

Thanks Freyberry!

1.

Another issue I am experiencing is this: when you open a contact, in WM 6.1 I can edit first name and family name: here I cannot.

When you edit an already existing contact, the box opens and you can change Name, Company, File As...no way i can change separately Family name...there is not such a field anymore!

2.

In Win 6.1. I used to Copy and Paste alot within a note or word text...Now you can right click, but you can either select a single word or the whole text...there is no option to select partial text, or a single line.

Am i doing something wrong?

3. LOCK

if I setup a lock with 0 minutes, with 4 digit password is OK. But if I change to 1 min or 5 min, the settings are NOT retained...I mean, only the first setup is retained (e.g. 0 minutes)

Have any of you experienced these issues?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lpaso:
I'm sorry, but many of this things can be removed/disabled.

- the lock screen is from MS but customized by HTC (not the original look&feel) (see miri's xtralight)

- HTC date picker can be disabled via registry (i've done it)

- HTC battery & backlight / device information can be overwrited by MS originals (i've done it)

- ...

I think it could be great if you could do this in your rom :)
