When we get a link to Cosmik Debris r2? Damn waiting....

Good work...Fastest Rom, I flash your ROM after b16b's AthineOS_v1.0_NAKED_6.1__21054.

Better speed, better battary life-long.

.....but would be better if you include Connections setup at Start -> Settings -> Connections.

I'm from Russia and GPRS net doesn't work on your Rom. All other custom Roms here tested with no problems on internet surfing. Maybe some settings lost...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I have a CAB for Office that I will post as soon as I have everything else working.

Concerning the weather plugin. Have a look at gWeather or SBSH Weather.

Still finding some 'problems' every time I think it's finished. I've created a working CAB for the connection setup. The idea is to include it in the UC folder so you can remove it after you've configured your device. Tested here and it works just fine.

I do have some obligations besides XDA so please forgive me for not posting it any sooner. Will start working on it tonight. So it might be released before you know it :P

Thanks all for your replies!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Flashed for the last time now I hope...

Will do some testing tomorrow. UC is working very well so this makes it easies to install all the seperate CAB's. I want to create an Add On package so users can decide what to use or not.

Have not been able to look at MS Office. Been testing with 2007 and it works but doesn't show all the icons. Office 2010 fails to create a new document but can open, like 2007, other files on my side. So I'm pretty sure I must be able to fix this and add it to the Add On!

I don't want to release to soon so please be patient. There is no real need for a new version since r1 can be used as a stable daily device if you ask me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
that sounds good, seperate cabs .... not to fast release a new rom, only when its bug free. don't want to flash 2 times a week a new rom. I use the tp2 every day and all is working fine with r1 now (till the known small bugs)

audioroute works nice with that rom, can switch a skype call during the ring from speaker to the front speaker to talk.

and :-) how did you do this? ... its the fastest rom I know, switch between the applications with the cool taskmanager, screenrotate is a dream and overall speed is like a new devive .-9

thanx a lot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Decided to upload r1.1 which contains most bug fixes that were mentioned in the first post. Have to do some more testing with r2 because I think it might be the final release (yeah right!).

Using the second post to post the Add On packages and moving the second post to the third so you don't need to read the personal stuff first :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
I test gweather 1.1 .... great application and after some pprogram tests ... I change the homescreen color from black to blue / green and it changes fine, startmenu too !!!! same color as homescreen :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] alexander_sibags@mail.ru:
I think SBSH Weather will be cool on r2 ))

Thanks for Connections setup included in r1.1

Now testing you Rom...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
flashing and testing r 1.1 now .....

can you took out the Youtube player ??? and put it as a cab to install manualy? I don't need youtubeplay cause I have the coreplayer.

all working now again ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] halorin:
If you ever take a stab at making a super light 6.5 ROM with just CHome, I will be all over that. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stanip:
Look forward to testing your r2. Like your r1, clean, fast and stable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stanip:
Forgot to ask... are there ways to change the action list launches?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I already took out YouTube in r2 and have it working as a seperate CAB. Will release the CAB together with r2 when I think it's good enough.

WM6.5 is still having some problems with programs I use, like SBSH PocketBreeze. I also don't like the Start Menu at all, it's to slow for me. Awesome start is a good alternative but a bit to buggy when switching between landscape and portrait.

If you are talking about the action screen (left soft key) then yes you can! I could add an example to the first page if you want me to?

It would be great if you can add an example to the first page... Yes, please.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
@Stanip

Please check the FAQ to see if thats what you meant.

Will add more information based on the feedback.

@all

Been doing some further testing with r2. Having some problem with the battery life (<24h!). Probably caused by BatClock but I will do some more testing to be sure. I'm glad I did not release r2 yet. I want to give you people a solid build just like r1.

The only difference you can see is the second screenshot which users can do manually. Will add this to the FAQ as well. It's just that r2 already has some pre-configured programs inside the launcher.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Added WkTask launcher to the FAQ section....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
A small teaser from the r2 Beta I'm currently running.

This screenshot contains a skinned threaded SMS application.

Modified the skin myself, be gentle! It is my first attempt :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] halorin:
Nice work! That skin looks cool!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BrokenPixel:
Hi there, excelent ROM just what I've been looking for, although there is one issue, I have a Tilt 2 and the keyboard layout is not working properly even after installing the CAB and doing registry hack, browsing on the forum I found that the registry hack pointed to a et9.cingular.something.txt and someone mentioned that you don't need to do that part of the "hack", I went further and investigated a little bit and I don't seem to find that file in any part of the ROM. Is the rom missing this file or WinMo 6.1 Can't handle that layout? I also tried the Rhodium Keyboard remapper but the first key (@) can't be mapped because of all the options and keys to emulate there is no @ key, lol! so I gave up and here I am, with an excelent ROM but messy keyboard layout. any ideas what to do next? or if someone can find that file would be great, so I can try if it works.. Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
look at post 35, theres what to do with the keyboard.

"my hardwarekeyboard now works after installing the ezinput 2.1 v.22 and the reg changes all is working fine !! "
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Keyboard problem is caused by the removal of EzIntpu. Have this stripped down but included in the r2 release. Just follow instructions of the post above mine to find a temporary solution.

Mentioned this before but I don't want to release r2 too soon. At this moment I'm investigating a small battery drain.

Still cleaning the registry and try to create a good working UC configuration. At this time the CABs are working for around 75%. Note they are all working, but I want users to be able to remove them as well ;-)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
the most batery drain is using wifi .... batery seems to be fine in 1.1 but must more testing. I use radio 4.49.25.17

2 times my device freeses ... in totalcommander, perhaps my storage card or I must do a hard reset again. Its not a rom problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I agree on the WiFi part. Last week I was on the road using r2.

Usage was something like this:

- 20 min. GPRS (yeah, old skool!)

- 45 min. TomTom (for some reason I did got instant a GPS signal all the time)

- 60 min. calling

- 10 text messages

This drained the device completely in around 18 hours. Can't except that.

Was using radio 4.49.25.88. Might be that GPS was staying alive even after closing TomTom. Flashed to an older radio at the moment.

Yesterday I managed to have a battery drain of just 25% in about 12 hours! About the same usage as above.

Another suspicious application is BattClock, have to rule out this app as well ;)

Have not have one crash using my ROM. And I'm using TotalCommander and downloading files on SD a lot.

Maybe you could move all the files from your SD and format it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BrokenPixel:
Hi thanks for the reply I did try EZinput, this seems to be a software keyboard and I'm looking to change the layout of the hardware keyboard, I did tried to make sure it worked or not, but this is a NO go for me, any other suggestions or maybe some help with EZInput if it is the work around?

--- Got it working instructions are good, my eye is not good tho :) thanks for the help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
the batery must "calibrate" after flashing ... that means a full load and total reload of the batery. my batery information shows after 8 hour standby and little usage 100% :-) damn, i never need a reload again :-)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
yea, I made this, copy all data and format the sd. then copy data back.

I will test the r2 with another hard reset ..... soon I hope
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Updated the first post with new screenshots of r2!

Will release r2 tomorrow! All looking good now and it's working great!

Spent countless hours searching the registry etc. But for now all I can say is that I'm pretty happy with the result!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Added a small piece of Mortscript code. This is actually the way I use it on my ROM! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Decided to upload the r2 release today! :D

Check the first post and FAQ for more info.

If you have any question just ask!

Enjoy!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikentucson:
the link for r2 in the txt file isnt working for me
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
You are right...

Links fixed!

- Posted from my TouchPro2 -
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
damnit what great news :-) I will flash it soon ... its a damn small rom.

the batery drain on 1.1 is very good .. use it now on day four with 60% rest:

standby - 65h 13min

device usage 2:45h

talk time - 2 min only

but wlan usage 45min

thanx for your work !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Good to hear! I'm very happy with the ROM as it is. I think it's one of the smallest ROM's for the Rhodium out there. But still has good functionality.

I'm jealous on your battery life I must say. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
I have flased it and make my settings / tools .... works damn fast, ezkeyb build in is great !! the seperate cab option is great too. installed office97, works fine and fast, acrobat 2 le is nice too, have some test pdf files and they open very well.

think no other rom has so much rom and ram free :-))
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] laafiera:
Download link?

Where do I download this rom? I searched the first post words by words and the only thing I found was a link to a blog and I don't understand it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mikentucson:
there is a txt file in the first post with a link to the rom inside of it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
yeah :-) r2 rom runs so nice ... no problems till now and everytime works fast !

tomtom has a fix, at the first time after flashing and hard-reset, so fast ... 25 sec.

the keyboard works fine, hardware-keys with symbols and "umlaute"

!! thanx very much for such fast and stable rom

I like the taskmanager with the Launcher !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thank you guys for helping other members ;)

I thought the information on the first post was quite clear. Added some extra information to avoid further confusion, if there even was any.

At the moment I use the same version as you people have. I read something about recalibrating the battery to see if this really helps. So far I'm pretty happy with the ROM. Just thought of some very small changes but for now I think this ROM is as good as it gets :cool:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisiuKP:
Great ROM

I do have one problem with MSVC

can't activate it trough bluetooth headset (jawbone) - I,m using it only for initiating phone calls.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
The reason for this is that Voice Command has been removed from the ROM...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisiuKP:
But I did installed it from cab

Tried couple different one, but no success

:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Don't use Voice Command. Maybe other users who use the ROM can give you some advice on this one...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Did have a look at Voice Command. It works just fine so far. I've only tested it using the long Send Key. Can't test is in combination with a BT headset though :(

Does Voice Command work for you using it without the BT headset?

- Posted from my Touch Pro2 -
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisiuKP:
Yes from phone work fine

But can't work from BT

Comming to me that there was some issue way back in past wic VC with my Cingulat 8125 (WM5)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I will have a look for you to see if I can figure out what's going wrong.

Did it work on other WM6.1 ROM's? Of so, do you remember the version\name of the ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] MisiuKP:
Sorry, all ROM till now was 6.5 and no problem with VC

Thank you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
@MisiuKP

Please try the following changes in your registry:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule

The value of thiis key is: "BTRilProxyOEM.dll"

Change it to: "vcbthag.dll"

Perform a soft reset after this.

Please tell me if you get any result on this one.

EDIT: Just read something about problems with the BT Stack of the Rhodium in combination with Voice Command.

Don't think that the registry change above can do anything useful for you :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
hi mccune,

I test the battery but it takes a moment ... full load, and reload.

U have a video driver build in? I test the good old pocket-quake, whitch dont works in most roms and win6.5 roms ..... with your rom pocketquake runs again :-) anf fast !! haha nice.

must make a cfg to control ..... its not easy

all working fine ... only one thng I have with some roms, now too:

When I connect to "my" wlan ... all works. turn wlan off and on its a problem to reconnect. I can connect again but must enter the password again. Its no big problem, perhaps theres a solution. On other wlans a can connect everytime again without promting the password. I have wpa2 with aes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I'm using the Ati driver that's floating around on my r2 release. It does not give the best benchmark results, but it DOES show the smoothest graphics. This is more important to me rather than high numbers in benchmarks ;)

Concerning the WiFi problem. I have no problems with my WEP secured WiFi at home.

Guess the problem lays in the method of security. I have the same problem when using the WiFi Internet Sharing program. It works just fine, but when I close the program it does not auto connect to my WiFi network. Don't have a real solutuin for that. Please let me know if you discover any solution to this problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
Yes I think the same here ... smooth grafics and scrolling. Its no playmaschine, its a Smartphone ... best HTC I know

With the wifi, I willtell you.

I use my tp2 now with wifi on ... here logged on a "Fritzbox" the tp2 connects always without problems and the battery life now ... damn ! it seems thats a new record with wifi and gsm.

now Batery 30%, 15:57h standby, 5:10 usage with wlan.3 min talktime
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Good to hear. I'm very happy with this ROM as it is. I'm still testing some new things but always glad as soon as I flash back to my own :-D

At the moment I'm optimizing my own UC folder. Also experimenting with different PagePools. Still no reason to update the ROM. Guess this will do until the Touch Pro3 with SnapDragon gets released ;-)

- Posted from my TP2 -
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Falk:
Yes, it's a great ROM indeed! I'm a recent Energy ROM convert - couldn't stand all the bloat (even without Manila) anymore and some of the HTC / WM 6.5 additions clearly need some more work before the whole OS feels as consistent as good old WM 6.1. Combine that with the speed and stability your ROM is offering and I don't see myself going back to anything else other than for testing purposes.

Also, you are using my favorite task manager out of the box; I was already wondering why WkTASK isn't seeing more use. Sure, it's a bit older, but it's still the best out there hands down! I only wish that there was a way to increase the number of slots in the launcher to 15 or 18 per page. Maybe the developer can be convinced updating the program... but it's been a while since he (http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html) last updated the program.

Other than that, does anyone else have a problem with the horizontal and vertical gestures that WkTASK offers in its Preferences - Actions tab? I can start the launcher with either swipe, but it closes right after, making the exercise rather useless. I never saw this happen with another ROM. Any ideas how to make the gestures work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mmafighter077:
Man I love you sms skin... is there anyway you can make that into an cab file?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I've noticed the same problem with the gestures. Will have a look to see if I can figure out why this is happening. Added it to the bug list. ;)

I've shared it in THIS thread. You can get it there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Found a solution for the WkTask gesture bug.

Check the first post for the solution!

Will see if I can fix this for a next release, have an idea what goes wrong.

- Posted from my TP2 using Opera Mobile 10 -
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Falk:
Thank you very much - works like a charm now! One other question (and I am sorry if this has been asked before): Is there a way to revert the SMS interface back to the regular style?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Planned to use the original SMS in the next release. Will add the CAB to the UC files so users can decide if they want is. I will post the original files asap. At the moment I'm not at home ;-)

- Posted from my TP2 -
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Zipped up the file for you. Just place the CSS file in your Windows folder using TotalCommander. You need to soft reset your device after this.

If this doesn't help then use the Task Manager to terminate the tmail.exe process.

Should be easy to do ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DJChriZZ:
Yesterday I made a manual connect to my wlan / new-type in the wlan name and so on ... after setup the tp2 connected and later ... connects again without prompting the password :-)

and your r2 rom ... works excellent ! no bugs. always fast. skype with audioroute (to switch the speaker) works wonderful.

thats my rom
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] stanip:
No response from sms/mail view or dismiss bottons

I like the r2 rom as it is fast and stable. However, I ran into occasional problem with no response from pressing the view or dismiss soft bottons when a new mail or sms came in. This happens roughly 50% of the time. Wonder if others have experienced this and any advice on how to improve on this. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Falk:
And it was; the old interface is back and I'm perfectly happy with your ROM! No need for anything else until Windows Mobile 7 comes out later this year... if it comes out this year ;-) Keep up the great work!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Thanks! Just doing some fine-tuning at the moment. No big changes are planned.

Don't have that problem at all. Did you perform a hard reset after you've flashed your device? Maybe other users had the same problem, but this is the first report I've got about this issue.

Thanks man. As mentioned above I'm not planning on any major release. Just some small graphical and space saving changes. Seems there are a few people who share the same idea on this ROM, so if it's ready I will release it for you guys. But I don't wanna rush things! (Hmmm didn't I say that from r1 > r2?). Will keep you guys informed as soon as I have something useful to share :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Just wanted to share my current screen. It's actually the way I use Cosmik Debris r3 Beta ;)

You guys like the new start icon and battery indicator? Both are done by me btw....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Falk:
There are things that you didn't know you want until you see them... the b/w WM Logo is one of those :D Can't wait until you release R3!

Seeing the battery indicator reminds me of a little question that I forgot to ask: I have been testing with PowerGuard and the program reports

1. 195 / 145 mAh (without backlight) when no data connection is running.

2. 280 / 230 mAh when a data connection is running in idle mode.

3. 45 mAh with the screen turned off manually and no data connection.

While 2. and 3. are what is to be expected, 1. seems a bit high. I have seen values below 100 mAh with other ROMs, roughly half of what is reported here. I haven't installed any power hungry apps and the task manager shows none of the programs is using any noteworthy CPU time.

I'm using the same Radio ROM that you have flashed (4.49.25.17; you write 3.49.25.17, but I guess that's a typo, right?), the difference being that it's all 3G here in Japan with no option to fall back to 2G connections. That of course is probably responsible for some power drain, but it shouldn't be as much as reported.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
I'll have a look at the battery consumption. Have to say that my standby with this ROM is just fine for me. Have to admit that I can't really test it since I flash my device almost on a daily basis.

Typo in my signature has been fixed. Thanks for that ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Hmmm... done some testing with Homescreen PlusPlus. This gives me around 150mA with the radio off. Strange thing is that it gives me about the same value when I turn on the radio.

I'm going to investigate it. But at the moment it seems that only r2 suffers this problem. Will hunt the bug and kill it for ya!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
Small update... found a solution to the problem. Trying to pinpoint the exact file that is "bugging" me :)
