[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Snake-Plissken:
ok thanks. but was this version on allready yesterday night? this 6.5.5 because i downloaded one...and .65 was only premium or?

Hi Frey

went for your V5.5_23518 bare version....superb tedious is customization haha....finally....everything is nice and fast....

that something i'm not very sure...

- lite_WMphone: This is a lite version without the HTC phone canvas and Messaging. This is what I use, in order to have a fully landscape enabled ROM.

What do you mean by fully landscape enabled rom?

One question: where do i locate the setting menu.exe in the bare rom?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
HTC phone canvas rotates the phone back whenever you open it or get a call. I use the device a lot for navigation, and this is particularly annoying in the car.

What do you mean by setting menu.exe?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devil_82:
when you press on the start icon, you will see the setting option. do you know where can i find this shortcut or exe?...thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Is there no Settings icon in the start menu?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devil_82:
there is, however i using IPhoneToday, therefore unable to locate the .exe....

the bare rom is superb....thanks for your prompt reply.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
I see... but I don't know. Maybe this helps: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Create links to the programs in your Settings menu
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devil_82:
thanks Frey
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Snake-Plissken:
i just installed your lite_nomess and so far everything is fine...no problems yet but let my try more and see what happens ;) proximity sensor is finayl working and i also can add now email accounts and mms is working too :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] UncleBeer:
Sure wish I could get through to RapidShare to give this a try. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _Rayearth:
got some problems using lite:

1. bottom bar's dialpad button on phone screen is messed up :( it doesnt fit exactly on the bar

​

2. Duttys Task Manager v2.1.19183631 doesn't work good on lite version. it doesn't close programs when pressing X on the screen when set to do this in option and it composes itself into the time as shown here ->

​

3. after installing DJCLeo WM6.5 Taskbar Green 4D icons the bottom bar goes crazy :/ -->

could this be because of lack of some files in lite rom?
​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
1. and 2. are generic problems with all WM6.5.5 ROMs and there's no fix at the moment. Sorry.

I use my own dialer (PhoneEx) instead of the HTC one and another task manager.

Concerning 3., you should ask the maker of the taskbar icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _Rayearth:
ok thanks for explaining this to me :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] LaroCroft:
Hi,

uhm, I don't know. But since using 5.4 nothing works as it should be. I was so glad with 5.3 and now with 5.4 my phone drives me crazy.

I install normal programs and it crashes. After that no restart is possible any more. Stuck on htc screen.

Recently I installed 5.5, thought this would make things better. But now the phone crashed again and after restarting he did a HARD RESET (not with pressing VolUp just by itself). No I can start again installing the phone.

I need a ROM without HTC Messaging but at the momemt I really don't know what is wrong?!

And some bugs from 5.3 are still there. I'm still trying to change the folder from camera from this damn stupid DCIM folder to 'My pictures'. No luck til now.

I'll try to flash a stock rom now and then restart with 5.5.

Btw. Can I download the old 6.5.3 50804? ROM somewhere? This was the most stable one for me...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
OK, you have to install a stock ROM and then flash my ROM again. That should solve the problem.

Random lockups and hard resets are an old problem with cooked ROMs, flashing a stock ROM is the solution usually.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rev3nant:
Flashed 6.5.5. Phone keeps trying to connect to 3G or Edge even though there are no settings for it and it has been turned out virtually everywhere. Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
All Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Select Networks

Select "My Work Network" everywhere.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rev3nant:
Nope, I've tried that first. It's was 3G option in Comm Manager. Even though it was disabled it still tried to connect. Had to disable that option in registry:

HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager

Changed SupportedFunctions from 8 to 7 and did a soft reset.

Now this option is hidden and data connections work as expected.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Thanks, I'll have a look at this issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Snake-Plissken:
hey freyberry,

i have a question, do you know where can i get a programm like the HTC x-button programm, or maybe you have the htc one. i would preffer to close the apps with the x and dont minimize. i loved the x-button programm because you could set rules too
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rev3nant:
After some time HTC dialer in Premium stops working alltogether and has some very distored graphics (keypad missing and home screen being visible through that space).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Rotate to landscape and back, then the dialer will work again. That's another WM6.5.5 issue without a fix currently :(

@Snake-Plissken I don't know, sorry :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rev3nant:
Phone hangs after a few calls. Got me into a very bad situation just now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Test ROMs coming soon!

I've got four (!) new ROMs waiting to be tested. Public Beta soon, so stay tuned ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _Rayearth:
U mean new versions of Ur roms? ;>
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Yes. Same external packages but new Windows Mobile builds. Here they are:

Build 23096: http://rapidshare.com/files/344505403/freyberry_premium_V5.5_23096.zip

Build 23626: http://rapidshare.com/files/344511513/freyberry_premium_V5.5_23626.zip

Build 24601: http://rapidshare.com/files/344506152/freyberry_premium_V5.5_24601.zip

Build 25001: http://rapidshare.com/files/344511890/freyberry_premium_V5.5_25001.zip

Let me know which one you like best and why. By the way: A higher build number does NOT mean that it's newer or better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diamantes:
wifi router

hello frey. I am experiencing some problem with wifi router feature. I flashed twice, rom is working good (5.4), normal wifi too, but the router seems to be dead. When I select it, it stucks in a long loop trying to load but nothing. I don't use the router so much, but sometimes I need it to work outside home and it is very very useful.

Could you kindly test it?if in v5.5 it works, I will download it (my connection is very slow)

:o

thx of course!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Hm, I've had no problems with it. You should try V5.5.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cosmocronos:
Eh, eh, here it comes the million dollars question:

Which one is the newest build?

TIA

Fritzly
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] devil_82:
Frey wouldnt noe which is the latest built as all these different build belongs to different team in a department of ms mobile. i'm also curious to noe does all these build us 6.5.5 or some is running on 6.5.3?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
They were all compiled around January 10.

23096 is from the official RTM branch that we already saw running on phones at CES. That *might* be the most stable, but I don't know.

Not all of them are WM6.5.5, I think only one of them is, but I forgot which one :(

Please, don't ask me for the differences, I don't know :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diamantes:
thx mate. I am going to download it. I'll let you know....

Regarding new builds, I will try 23626, 'cos I suppose is the same team of 23518 and this is a development... we'll see... :p

bye bye
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Diamantes:
just flashed...

Ok, flashed 5.5 premium. The issue with router has gone :cool:.

Everything is fine and I tweaked a lot with all apps, registry and so on. The only thing is that switching between manila tab is sometimes slower than before, but, hey, who cares?

Before flashing I also noticed ('cos I had never tried before) that also MS Money widget and Weather were not working, so maybe definitely there was something wrong with 5.4. Now they work, of course.

Thx frey, keep up the good work! :cool::cool:

bye :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Yeah, there was something wrong with V5.4, that's why I rebuilt all the ROMs with a new kitchen.

For everyone interested in the dates and version numbers of those new Windows Mobile builds, here they are:

(AKU 55xx means WM6.5.5, AKU53xx means WM6.5.3)

24001 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4799 (December 18, 2009) 15:49:28) - AKU 5500 <-- This is said to be fast and reliable.

23626 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4565 (January 6, 2010) 16:25:33) - AKU 5302 <-- This seems to have a problem with zooming in IE. Can someone confirm this?

23096 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4134 (January 8, 2010) 13:08:16) - AKU 5302 <-- This one is the RTM version from Microsoft, might be the most stable, but I don't know.

24601 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 5400 (January 12, 2010) 15:50:45) - AKU 5300 <-- Is said to have some graphical glitches, can someone confirm this?

25001 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 5900 (January 12, 2010) 16:02:37) - AKU 5300 <-- Seems to be a bit laggy, can someone confirm this? Also has problems with the HTC dialer.

21626 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 3565 (January 14, 2010) 15:41:28) - AKU 5300 <-- Incoming caller ID issues.

22001 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4901 (January 14, 2010) 15:41:29) - AKU 5301 <-- Old graphics (buttons etc.).

23519 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4511 (January 14, 2010) 15:53:44) - AKU 5500 <-- This one is the successor to 23518 and the only one with threaded emails, but in general the stability of the 235xx series seems to be a bit lacking.

28214 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 5209 (January 14, 2010) 15:53:49) - AKU 5303 <-- Incoming caller ID issues.

21890 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 3822 (January 15, 2010) 11:19:08) - AKU 5088 <-- This one is the newest WM6.5.0, after 21889, but it's missing the screen settings icon.

28223 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 5214 (January 28, 2010) 18:48:27) - AKU 5303 <-- This one is quite new, but also has issues with the caller ID.

22004 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4903 (January 28, 2010) 15:41:49) - AKU 5302 <-- Old graphics (buttons etc.).

23102 - Windows CE: 5.2 Build 4137 (January 29, 2010) 14:52:28) - AKU 5303 <-- This is the newest, has new, smoother font rendering, but has problems with the HTC dialer.

Hi frey.

which RADIO works best with barebon?

I am enjoying a lot your "barebone" ROM...plenty of ROM available!

V5.5_23518 (WM6.5.5) barebone version

I would like to ask you: which RADIO works best with it?

I have the usual problem of some ciclic hisses (small but irritating banground sounds) on radio 2.05 and radio 2.06....I am trying the new radio 2.07.

Any suggestions?

2nd.

How to enable the vibration on ths SIP (Phone canvas), when you dial numbers?

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
There will be a new ROM soon, anyway ;)

@saulo866

The Radio depends on where you are and your carrier. I can't answer this for you, you have to try.

Vibration for the SIP is enabled by default.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
Dear Freyberry

1.

Great to hear that you will launch a new ROM. Will you also do a "barebone" one?

2.

If yes, then can you figure out to do it as an Upgrade? Is it possible?

I have used up 2 days to re-install all my applications, customize them again...I would like to avoid another hard reset to test your new ROM...

I am thinking to a cab version of your ROM, so it will overwrite the current one without hard resetting the device...

3.

On my HD1 I use a cab called SPBattMet (Battery Meter)

http://www.myblackjack2.com/applications/utilities/smartphone-battery-meter/

It adds a green/yellow/red fine line on top of the screen, so signify the level of battery. I tried it two days ago: it won't install on your ROM (or maybe it is incomatible with all HD2?). Do you have an alternative solution?

Thanks a lot for your job!

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Yep. Same versions ;)

Unfortunately not. But restoring a backup should work.

I don't know about an alternative, unfortunately. Maybe it doesn't work on WM6.5.x?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
Dear Freyberry

Thanks for your answers...

1.

Which backup do you recommend: I am using SPB backup on my old HD1. Will it work?

I believe these are the steps, right?

- backup from current build (barebone)

- install new build (barebone)

- restore the old backup and choosing "upgrade mode" from SPB Backup menu.

2.

In barebone all HTC canvas/apps are off (as I wished...). But now in the phone canvas I cannot restore the vibration...yes I can have long or short tones. but it is not what I want.

I believe there should be some settings I accidentally deactivate...can you suggest a remedy?

I am tweaking with BsBtweaks 16, (in your addons pack), but no results yet.

3. By the way: which new dialer could I test on barebone?

Rhodium dialler? It uses 33K! so huge! Is it a good one? Do I need to install in main memory?

Thanks and please continue with your nice RMB

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
It works very well for me, but you need the latest version that supports WM6.5 (older versions always break something while restoring).

Ah I see. The vibration is a feature of the HTC canvas, I think. I don't know whether there's a way to get that with the WM dialer.

Hm, the Rhodium dialer should work quite well with barebone, though I haven't extensively tested it.

I personally use Iconsoft PhoneEx, because I don't like HTC's dialers. But that is not free.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] neitin:
Thanks Frey for the latest builds, I wonder if someone can mirror it, rapidshare is flooded with problem :mad:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
3 more questions:

I have got a failure when installing SPB Backup 2.02: are you aware of any incompatibility?

2.

Same for wisbar 3: installation fails.

Strangely, on my former ROM (3v5y ROM also LITE version) it was OK

3.

I have installed the cab XDA-Shutdown: I have customized it, de-selecting any warning. But After soft reset all my customized settigns are lost (the warnings and original settings are again in place. Is it normal?

4.

Maybe the culprit of all above is a program called SlideIt (is a replacement for the default keyboard). In fact at any reboot a message of error appears (even after unistalling it). I will try a hard reset.

have you had any experience with Slide It

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
You need SPB Backup 2.1.0, older versions do not work with WM6.5.

I can't answer the other questions, sorry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
Thanks again

1.

I have hard reset...in the meantime, can you please point or post an HTC phone canvas cab which is compatible with barebone? I am now using Rhodium and it is OK, but I am curious to see the difference. By the way, with Rhodium dialer the vibration is OK!

2.

This is maybe off topic: do you know how to disable the horrible sound (HTC Sense sound) which resemble a scratch, when the device is restarting from a soft reset? I have already disabled ANIMATION with BSB tweaks

3.

Last: is it possible to have a cab to close applications? (a working X button)?

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
1. Use the Rhodium dialer if it works without problems.

2. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupWav

There you can disable the sound. Or use this .cab: http://xdaforums.com/show...14&postcount=3

3. No idea, sorry.

Sorry man, but I'm not gonna spend money on another server. ROM cooking is hard work and I spend many many hours doing this.

My ROMs have been downloaded several thousand times but I've only got 4 donations.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm doing this 'for fun' and I don't request anyone to donate, but I'm not going to spend money in addition to all the time I spend doing this. This is not a business, I do this for fun.

And sorry if I sound a bit pissed, but I don't like it when people get something for free and still complain.

Yes, it's faster and I have included threaded emails (though you can't turn it off).

You can change the clear type settings via registry or another application. Did the screen settings do anything other than that?

Frey, what are the differences between:

Download V6.0_23519 (WM6.5.5) versions

Download V6.0_24001 (WM6.5.5) versions

I'm still trying to work out which is best to load?

And are new incarnations on the way as I notice the download links have gone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
I'm rebuilding 24001 without threaded emails.

Well, that's already the explanation. 23519 has threaded emails, 24001 has not.

Additionally, 24001 has some weird graphics in IE/calendar.

The stability of 23518 was not so good, thus I did the 24001 ROMs. 23519 seems to be fine, though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] UncleBeer:
Dunno myself, but their FAQ sez:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Yes, should work.

Hallo Freyberry

I have just donated EUR 10 via paypal...I really like your barebone ROMs. So please continue your job!

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
Hallo Freyberry

1.

I would like to test the new ROM. But honestly are there major differences? (only barebone ROM I try)?

The newest one with threaded SMS is 23519

How can I detect what is my current one?

I guess is 23518, but not sure...

I checked in Software information, but nothing appears there...

2.

Do you recall the procedure on SPB I posted earlier? Is it correct? I mean if differences between barebone ROMs are limited I should be able to restore all customizations and apps without need to reinstall everything. right?

Thanks

S.A.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
If you have no problem with the old one, you can stay with that.

If you go to Settings --> System --> About, you should see what version you have.

When you go from barebone to barebone, there should be no problem restoring your backup.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] saulo866:
continued ...

continued...

I mean, before we switch to new ROM, can you list the major improvements between the latest 2 or 3 releases? e.g. 23518 and 23519 (only for barebone ROMs).

2.

I remember that there is something called ROM supporting AutoCab Launching...something like you put all your cabs in a designated folder on your micro storage card. and after a hard reset they will auto-install.

Are you aware of such technology? If yes, how to implement it?

Thanks

Saulo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
Look at the changelog in the first post ;)

But there's not much difference, just a new WM build and a bunch of tweaks.
