There's no way to "correct" the differences.

What you are experiencing regarding the touch sensitivity is a capacitive screen versus a resistive screen. If you understand how a resistive screen works, and adjust accordingly, then scrolling is just as smooth. Just apply a bit of pressure.

Safari browser is indeed fast. But Opera is not too shabby. Consider this. Opera does real-time text reflow. I'm almost positive that this is one of the factors that hinders the performance. However, I'd still rather have real-time text reflow. It's better than on the Safari where you have to pan horizontally and vertically if you zoom in to the text.

If you understand the differences and you still can't live with them, then this device is probably not for you. Better return/exchange it while you can.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] calimove:
i didnt know there were dif kinds of screens.. how do you adjust them in the manner you state
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Photosgraphein:
With resistive touch like on the TP2 you have to apply a little bit of pressure. I have a friend who just got the iPhone 3GS and I don't see/feel much difference between he's capacitive screen and my resistive screen. It's all about feeling and technique, seriously.

Here's a little read about resitsive and capacitive from Wikipedia:

Resistive

Capacitive

It should give you a good idea of how the two types of screens work and why you have to use different methods in order to get most out of resistive screens.

I have to agree, the iPhone's touch screen is flawless in operation.

Just my 2 cents ....... ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] calimove:
it was so sweet playing with one for the week. now i understand the difference and it will run the phone accordingly.

is there a way to make the keypad for the dialer full screen so typing numbers will be easier and faster?

how do i move icons around to different pages. i hate i cannot just hit one button to get to the dialer. i have to do 3 steps to get to the dialer and it is stupid since this is a PHONE to make calls.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Sounds like iDialer is what you're looking for if you want a full screen keypad.

What 3 steps are you taking to get to the dialer? Just press the call button? Also the left soft key on the home tab of also gets you to the dialer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] treo...not!:
From my vantage point I see 5 issues:

1. As stated above, you need to learn the differences between the screen technologies.

2. You need to use the TP2's hardware keyboard. No onscreen keyboard can compare.

3. If you want a hamstrung, entertainment device, feel free to migrate to an iphone. If you want a relatively open device with depth and breadth, take the time to learn the Win Os. It does take some time to learn, but once you do, you realize how much of a toy many other devices are.

4. You don't seem to be aware that ATT's network has been optimized for and gives preference to iphones. Not to mention that many sites have special pages cleverly and clandestinely optimized for the iphone. They look in many ways like the real thing and you think that you are getting the "full web," but alot of functionality is missing.

5. Most important, and no disrespect to all the chef out there, you are using a cooked rom. These roms promise a great deal, but in the long run most fail to deliver because they introduce more problems than they solve.

I have handled the iphone fairly extensively and it is a good device in its own right. I has a really easy and intuitive interface but it is in a different and lower class than the TP2. It is meant for casual users who use their phones primarily for entertainment. It is really a dressed up feature phone and not a true smartphone.

I use my smartphone (TMobile TP2) for entertainment and for business from VPN client to Wifi internet access router to remote desktop to watching movies to email to GPS to document creation (incl. powerpoint slideshows and spreadsheets) to games (incl. many kinds of emulators), all with free software! Nowadays, I hardly ever have to pull out my netbook. My phone is nimble and loads web pages incredibly fast. At home in VA, I get between 500-600 kbps on avge, up to about 900kbps on a good day. I was in NYC this weekend and got 1260kbps fairly consistently. How's that for performance? Can an iphone do all that?

Bottom Line: Learn Win Os or even Android, you'll be more satisfied in the long run and at the very least you won't be captive to Steve "Jesus" Jobs whims.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] calimove:
my last phone was a G1 with droid and it was neat on the web pages. what browser are you using which you are getting lightning speed. i have an N router at home on cable internet. I wifi to it and it is the lowest loading pages i have ever seen on a phone. My G1 outran it and the iphone just smoked all above. i have opera, skyfire, and IE on the phone...what do you suggest to get the most out of it?

and yes i agree i have to learn the phone and all the info on this post has been extremely helpful and gave me a HUGE understanding of what i am running.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
I find Opera Mobile 9.5 and 9.7 performance to be underwhelming at first. But I find that disabling java-script helps significantly. Most sites that I visit don't need java-script for me to see the content anyway. And disabling it, means I block a lot of ads from loading.

You can also try Opera Mobile 10 which is in beta right now. It's pretty quick in my experience. But I personally settled back for 9.7 because of it's flexibility in terms of zooming in and out of pages.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] treo...not!:
Troubleshooting Internet Speed

1. Make sure the rom/you are not running any memory hogs. Push Internet is a notorious memory-sucking monster: disable it. Ideally, your TP2 should have under 50% ram usage when you boot up and ensure you refresh the memory every few hours. CleanRam does this beautifully and automagically.

2. Double-check that you are in fact getting a 3G signal and operating at 3G speeds. Use mobilespeedtest.com or dslreports.com/mspeed to test. Anything less than 500 mbps might indicate a problem.

3. How many bars do you have? 3G requires a strong, quality signal. You might want to contact ATT to ensure that you have the correct sim and provisioning for your line and for this particular phone. (This last point is based on my experiences with ATT in the past. My phone, for some unknown reason, was ignoring the tower nearby. This may be a long shot but might be worth it.)

4.Consider flashing back to a stock ROM to see if anything improves.

5. Make sure you are using the latest versions of the various browsers. Have you tried the latest opera mini, opera mobile, or skyfire browsers? Stay away from IE; it really stinks! I get terrific results using skyfire because of the fact that it is essentially a thin client where all the necessary processing is done server-side.

6. When using opera mobile check its settings via opera:config or opera:about to make sure it is not searching for a proxy server.

7. If you are close to a major metropolitan area, use google's dns servers: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. This is a long shot, but when I was in NYC I did see an overall improvement of latency.

8. Check to see if wifi improves the problem. If not, check router settings. Have you tried optimizing for performance rather than for battery/neutral in wifi settings on the phone? The TP2 can only connect to g and b networks. A or n are irrelevant to its operation.

9. What sites are you trying to access? Websites do have special scaled down pages for the iphone and increasingly for android phones. You might want to spoof the user agent on your device. Essentially, this makes the website "think" that you are using a different device. The upside about using the user agent settings as is is that you do get more of the internet the way you would experience it on a desktop. That's also its downside. By trying to eat too much of the internet, the browser can choke the system. Remember, the TP2 has a 528 MHz processor and memory in the MBs, not GBs.

10. Make sure the cache, history, and cookies are cleared before testing. Corruption in any of these three areas can compromise page rendering.

I've been watching youtube videos via the app and skyfire and video news from AP.org via skyfire and have not had a hiccup. So I know this device has a sufficiently good internet capabilities.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] treo...not!:
Continued from above...

11. Check to make sure you are using the correct APN. Some APN's have known speed and port limitations. Get that info from your carrier.
[G1 General] Blackcobra95:
This was the g1 I succesfully flashed a rom to and was doing ok (but slow) until I put a sdcard and sim chip in to flash the latest Hero rom to.

In this order this is what happened.

Tmo G1 screen came on

went to black screen and "hung"there

Pull and replaced the Battery a few times to no advail.

Rebooted into recovery mode and hit alt+w

to wipe (was successful) and then hit back+home to reboot

Now it just keeps replaying the hero boot animation over and over.

Any Suggestions?

Thanx in Advance
[G1 General] supremeteam256:

[G1 General] Blackcobra95:
Thanx for the replies.

I forget the name of the recovery image I have. But the hero rom I had flashed was a JaHero(Thats what it said on the home screen)which was a very early hero rom and what ever recovery image was around at the time.
[G1 General] Ace42:
So you have cyan 1.4
[G1 General] davidrol:
wipe, wipe then wipe again

I experienced the same. Wipe everything including the D cache. Then re-flash the ROM. I'm using SenseHERO-v1.4 Theme version. There no better Hero for the G1, right now. It doesn't use apps2sd. As a result, snappier less lag. Also, I have greater success with Amon RA 1.5.1. Actually based on Cyanogen's 1.4 with more features added.

Regards, davidrol
[G1 General] AdrianK:
You said earlier that you wipe. Never wipe when you're using a hero ROM, you have to wipe then reflash, otherwise it will boot loop.
[G1 Android Development] tyweezy:
well i need someone to finish the rom i was making. it is the new expresso ui (i think thats what it is called) it was from the dump at www.androidspin.com. i just cant get the right boot.img it says wrong digest. please help...i want to finish this rom:D
[G1 Android Development] kingklick:
hahah u really think no one else is trying?
[G1 Android Development] carnegie0107:
King, if you release an espresso ROM.... it might just make me go back to Hero ROMs. Please tell me you're working on it? That would make my day.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
ugh..Espresso has those horrid bubbles. :(
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
"wrong digest" is due to not signing your rom.

erase the signature stuff out of META-INF, and resign.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eternalcold:
Hi everyone, i am obviously a new user. I have been browsing these forums for the past 3 hours and looking up information online. I am new to this phone (literally like two days of knowing it even existed) and i want to flash a new rom to it.

My stepmother is an engineer for AT&T,(obviously that makes my carrier AT&T) so she gets these phones when they are test models. Needless to say, they are always very buggy and have old firmware, etc.

Well the Rhodium that i have is a model RHOD300... And it has an extremely buggy OS(?). It lags horribly and is very frustrating (one of the downsides to a free phone)

Now, i read that the unlocking program only supports RHOD400, and RHOD500. So what do i do?? I noticed someone else on this forum

"DaveTheTyntIIGuy" also has a RHOD300 model. and his signature says it is running a custom rom.

I am just worried i will brick my phone, and i am not sure what to do.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
You probably saw this thread and gone through it too quickly. It says it does

not

support RHOD400 and RHOD500.

Go back and have a read through again. All info is there. Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] eternalcold:
actually, i saw this thread

and since it said

"only RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids are accepted"

I am pretty sure i need that thread since i am on AT&T right? I thought AT&T was CDMA.

The link you posted said "CDMA-GSM worldphone version is not accepted"

And when i power on my phone, it says "AT&T Worldphone"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
AT&T is a GSM carrier, thus making your phone a GSM phone.

AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM. Sprint, Verizon, and Telus are CDMA.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sasovics:
Hi friends,

I am having this strange problem. After recooking any of the stock ROM (1.48, 1.62 etc) and flashing it back to the phone my Start Menu icons are not being reorganized, nor the icons replaced with HTC icons as it is in the stock ROM. I made some investigation into this problem and found that there is "mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml" file that should take care of these in ProjectDefault_A package. For some reason this PROVXML is not being loaded after hardreset. What is strange though, other provxml's are being loaded fine. I did not modify it so file or format corruption is out of the questions. Anyone else experiencing the same bug? fyi - i did not remove any of the packages or touched any files, just a plain recook of the original above mentioned stock ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sasovics:
Update - seems there are more provxml's that are not being loaded. cmonex mentioned something that the provxml file attribute matters. I tried to change it in various combinations, ra-s, rahs, -ahs, -hs, nothing works. coldinit.exe (the file that processes these provxmls) disasm tells that it only checks if the files have IN-ROM (0x40) file attribute set. Obviously if I cook them into my ROM, they got this attribute. As I mentioned in my previous post, I am not modifying these provxmls so file corruption is out of the question, thus they are never loaded. I'd like to know what can more experienced cooks say about this ? Noone has ever experienced this glitch before ???

Here are some screens showing the glitch:

stock rom

re-cooked stock rom with EVK

Please notice the difference in folder icons such as Outlook, Calls, Messaging in the Start Menu (as a result of mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml not being loaded) as well as font size, in cecmd and other applications (as a result of mxipupdate_metabase_001.provxml not being loaded)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mnet:
If any file referenced in the provxml is not present, then the entire xml will not run. For example, mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml contains a line that moves live messenger shortcut. If you removed messenger from your sys, then the provxml will fail if you do not remove references to the removed shortcut.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sasovics:
Yes, that make sense... Strange thing is though, I did not remove any of the packages. I just dumped, and re-built the ROM using PRB. That's it. :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sasovics:
OK people, I think I found the cause of our problem.

This part of the provxml file is causing the problem:

<characteristic type="%CE11%\Messaging\Messenger.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Move">
<parm name="Source" value="%CE11%\Messenger.lnk" translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>

If mnet is right, this provxml fails because it wants to move Messenger.lnk from \Windows\Start Menu\Programs to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Messaging folder. Now here comes the strange thing. After booting my ROM, I can see Messenger.lnk in my \Windows\Start Menu\Programs as well as Messaging subfolder. So why is it still failing then ? I investigated further, where is the Messenger.lnk coming from. And it comes from here:

mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml

<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="FileOperation">
<characteristic type="%CE11%" translation="install">
<characteristic type="MakeDir" />
<characteristic type="Messenger.lnk" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Copy">
<parm name="Source" value="\Windows\WLMMessenger.lnk" translation="install" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

Now if my theory is correct, the glitch is caused by coldinit.exe loading mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml before mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml. Since the Messenger.lnk is not even created, the first provxml fails! Obviously the Messenger.lnk is created later on, by the second provxml, that's why I see it in the Start Menu\Programs.

Now here comes an interesting question:

What determines in what order are the provxml's loaded and executed ???

UPDATE: OK I fixed the problem temporarily by removing the mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml and adding an entry into initflashfiles.dat instead:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-File("Messenger.lnk","\Windows\WLMMessenger.lnk")

I am still wondering though: What is the order for loading provxml ?? Maybe the DSM files, that PRB deletes ? Would be a good idea to try restoring them... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] maesus:
alphabetical order? p is first processed then w. :-D you can experiment by renaming the files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sasovics:
hmm, that would make sense why HTC named some of the provxml's as "mxiupdate_zzz...provxml".

So I tried just simply renaming mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml to mxipupdate_zzzProjectDefault_a_000.provxml to get it processed as one of the latest and guess what ? it worked ;)

But this does not happen with original stock ROM ? Seems they are processed by DSM (which are missing from recooked ROMs) and if these are not present, they are processed alphabetically. It's good point though, chefs keep that in mind when cooking your ROMs

Cheers,

S.
