hahaha. you are all flashaddicts and if there is a reason to hard reset you all love it :D - cooked in and waiting for an update is as long/short as getting an update to new rom build from you captain!

you are doing a great job. as i DID not started to cook my own rom - cause i like yours!!! and remember i have been my own cook long time. take it as an big respect to your work!

thanks.

btw. if you will ever creat a dark black grey version or need help doing it... just tell me ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] peeps:
fair enough...FWIW, I was actually able to uninstall GTX (with a few lingering graphical issues) to try out CHT 1.7....WOW!!! I will probably hard reset in the next few days and reinstall it....

I love that GTX made the phone super easy to see in sunlight, but CHT wins until someone picks up the reins and updates GTX...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] webbahboy:
I agree with you and the other guys, Cap. Keep up the awesome work!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] argentocruz:
I think I've flashed the daylights out of my raph... I've had so many freezes its not funny... Mainly around the sense interface, if I adjust something and click 'Done' it will freeze... And a sof reset won't do...

Last night I soft reset and it froze on the startup screen, I soft reset again and I got a message saying the phone didn't start properly and needs to be hard reset, or words to that effect...

I think its my phone as soft resets have never worked... Last night she froze 10min after a complete flash...

I have her up and running again with all my apps on it and synced up to outlook... Fingers crossed it'll hold this time... I soft reset after each app install or UI adjustment...

If this doesn't hold I'll throw a really old rom on I know is fine and if it still is the phone it'll be time for an upgrade...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] OK Dog:
Did you flash to a "stock" ROM? That really helps with problems like yours.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] fxdadbrowser:
Thats a good idea cap.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] argentocruz:
Nope, was just going to flash to an old simple rom, but if a stock one would be better I'll give it a go...

I flashed to another rom this afternoon and it has frozen once already, but I was able to soft reset without having to hard reset or reflash...

I think phone may be kapuut :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dalek_Caan:
Well sounds like a good excuse for a new phone LOL ... but really. Flashing to stock and than to a custom ROM is recommended and does solve issues such as you are describing
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] finsmaniac02:
Well I believe people were saying to uninstall 1.6.1 that was cooked in, you just have to download the cab and try to install, it'll tell u the old one needs uninstalled, it will uninstall, and then you hit cancel. I THOUGHT I had read that from cookie himself.

Funny thing is is that I tried it, and it never seemed to actually uninstall cuz it was still usable (although all the settings went away, i,e, it was cooked with vga mode and i did that trick and vga was turned off..) I went ahead and installed 1.7 over it after doing that trick and everything seems good.

I guess what I am saying is that if performance is to be gained by cooking in, I think it should be done because there might be a way to install over or uninstall (like I apparently succesfully did over 1.6.1)

Formatting issue in MS Excel 2010?

First of all, I don't think this is a ROM issue per se...more likely a bad beta version of MS Office 2010?

After my last posting faux pas (sorry Captain!), I flashed 2010-04-01_Cap_Special_Sense_2.5_2012_23554_FUZE from stock ROM flash, loaded up all my normal progs, and was running spb Mobile shell to see how long the battery would last without Sense 2.5. NOTE: Ignore the rom in my signature for this post.

All was well, all functioned as expected, except when I loaded a spreadsheet in MS Excel 2010 and tried to format a cell so that the font would be in bold and the color red. When I selected RED as the font color, everything seemed to freeze; no response to screen taps until I forced a screen reformat by switching orientation (either with Flip-it or by sliding out the keyboard). Normal operation until selecting a different font color.

I tried on a brand new empty spreadsheet and the same freeze-up behavior occurred.

Hard Reset, started Excel and tried again...same behavior.

Everything else seemed to work well.

Bad flash? Just me? Can anybody else replicate this strange behavior? Other variants of MS Office 2010 (other ROMs or installing beta from Marketplace) do not seem to have this formatting freeze.

Thanks.

ps There is a new version of MS Bing available that has a more polished interface, and I could not get the AT&T Wifi app to show the hotspot locator pages.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spideyngo:
CT's ROM are my nerd Crack

Every time there is a new build of Windows you have to cook it in too (wink smile) ;-)

The rate we ROM junkies flash I don't think it matters too much if you cook it in Captain_Throwback.

On another note, is it possible to switch to XDA_UC ? I love it.

Miss your updates, I'm having to use Energy's ROMs to feed my addictions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hasse_e:
Is it possible to change HTC-language from 1033 to 1053 in this rom? and do the swe Å, Ä and Ö work in the hardw. keyboard?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
I ran a simple test, Formatting the cells to be Bold and Font Color to Red..

No freezing, locking up, etc..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rmanaka:
Thanks, must just be me.

Thanks! I'll reflash and try again...strange.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Interesting - I just tried this, and I see what you mean. I actually have similar behavior with Opera sometimes where the menu won't go away. Easiest way to unfreeze the display is to rotate the device. That should get everything working again (at least it did for me) :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Maybe I'm just the lucky one. LOL

Honestly, I haven't had any lock-ups or freezing with anything really. Only issues I had have been mentioned (or questioned upon) in this thread, but nothing pertaining to the general "usability" of my Fuze.

[But I am using Opera Mobile 10, not the pre-loaded HTC 9.5 version... Not sure if that matters for the Opera Lock-up.]
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Hate to double post, but decided to upgrade to the 21898 Sense 2.5 Build. Downloading as we speak, let's hope all is well. :)

Just for the record... which tabs haven't been fully ported in Sense 2.5 VGA Ed.? (Besides Twitter & Footprints :: as I won't even be using these tabs)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Twitter is ported. Only Footprints isn't.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Ah, alrighty. Well those two are disabled for me anyway. :)

And so far, no problems, as I'm sure you already know. :P

Faster than the Sense 2.1 ROM. Also more beautiful. :):)

Love it Cap. As I've said before, watch your PayPal, I'll donate here in a couple days. (awaiting Tax Refund). :)

(Also:: Would you recommend using SKTools or Pocket Mechanic to clean the registry & junk files? Or no. Being a custom ROM, I wanted your opinion, as I think my gut feeling might be correct [that I shouldn't].)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Couldn't hurt, I guess. I should probably do a pre-clean of the reg before I cook, but I'm still trying to get my kitchen as clean as it should be :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Also, anyone know if it's possible to remove the Operator Ribbon/Curtain during calls?

EDIT::

Nevermind, seems that simply rotating my device to Landscape mode, then back to Portrait, allows me to do what I needed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Also::

Just for the record:

I do NOT recommend cleaning the Registry or Junk Files with either SKTools or Pocket Mechanic, as doing so rendered almost ALL of my file formats useless... (No music, no pictures, no videos, no ringtones, etc..) Had to hard reset.. Only maintenance tool I'm still using is htcaddicts' cleanRAM, as it seems to run flawlessly on the 21898 Sense 2.5 build. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xncinx:
i had a problem with this rom

when i try to close the contact it will be freeze for a few minute

how to solve this problem?

sorry for my bad english :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
1.) Do you have a Touch Pro or a Fuze?

2.) Which ROM did you install? (WinMo 6.5/WinMo 6.5.x :: Sense 2.1/Sense 2.5)

3.) Have you tried Hard Resetting your Device?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xncinx:
1. touch pro

2. winmo 6.5 sense 2.5

3. yup i have tried that

any solution sir?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kodimagnyl:
Thank you!!!! /Notification bar & sms popup)

I'm a very proud user of the Cap'n roms through quite some time and very impressed with your hard work. 2 small questions:

1) I find the notification bar very handy, but hard to get at using you fingers. I've been searching hi & low without finding a shortcut - Could you provide a software shortcut og quicklink for this ??

2) It seems that you now get a popup when receiving a SMS - can you disable that action ???

Again thank you for your hard work.

regards,

Jesper

WinMob 21901 (Com2) and 23563 (Com5) released today... Just an FYI. :)

Outlook's reply all

Hey...

I noticed that in this rom the reply button in outlook is actually the reply all. Is there a way to disable it / setting it to the normal reply?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jasonvxs4:
NVM... i found the solution here:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
1) I don't know of a way to add a shortcut to open the Notification Manager. Sorry.

2) You can disable the on-screen notification for SMS in the "Sounds & Notifications" Settings applet.

Now that my band's first show is over, perhaps I'll have a few more minutes to do some cooking (though I highly doubt it - now we have a few fans that expect to see more of us).

FYI - I may also start cooking Topaz ROMs in the near future. My wife's Samsung Epix has GPS issues, so we're getting an insurance replacement - apparently they're replacing the Epix with the Pure these days, so my wife's getting a sweet upgrade. And now she'll get the added benefit of me cooking ROMs for her. She'll probably be doing custom graphics for me now as well. If she doesn't like not having a hardware keyboard, I told her I'd trade devices with her. So stay tuned for how that develops.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Good luck with the band! That's awesome!

Pure > Epix in any competition. :P

HTC simple pwns.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] weisborg:
Interesting. I actually got my Fuze after they sent my 3 different Epix that didn't work. Good phones, very bad ROM. At least with this site bad ROMs can be fixed...too bad there wasn't a site for the Epix like this when I had it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] stylez:
Flashed "2010-04-05_Cap_Special_Sense_2.5_2012_21898_TP" last night very nice indeedeee, no lag impressed :)

Haven't had time to fully set up yet, so today is play day.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
I'm sure you'll love it. Haven't run into any software conflicts, yet-to-date, with the 21898 Build. So, to me, it's 10,000% customizable. :)

Enjoy!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Rom update

Well apparently, I have to update the WMPU ROMz, so I guess that means I'll update these as well (though they seem to be working well, so I almost see no reason to). Whatever the latest builds are will be the ones I'll use (currently 23563 & 21901), as well as including CHT (1.7.1 & Editor). My wife's Pure has also arrived today, so I'll be HardSPL'ing that when I get home and playing around with some Topaz ROMs as well. So I guess it'll be a busy night :rolleyes:. I can't promise I'll produce any ROMs tonight, but know that they're at least "in the works".

P.S. Say hi to my wife (I linked her profile in my sig :)). I made her join XDA so she can learn about her new HTC device.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dalek_Caan:
Just a quick question cap .. will you be cooking in CHT or adding it as a cab? I ask becasue I am poking with the team redoing the GTX theme and want to make sure if I can update when you release and not have problems since the theme also has CHT built in
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I will be including it as a CAB (I'll be combining CHT & the Editor into a single CAB, in fact). It'll be the first thing that installs during customization.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dalek_Caan:
ok thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Creel:
I just installed build 21898 and it has bee, awesome! The speed is much improved over the previous build. :D

One issue I am having though is within the "call" screen when placing/answering a call. The bottom buttons (keypad and endcall) are cut off the screen. Only a tiny portion of the buttons show up. I noticed the same with the slide to answer when receiving a call.

Any ideas?

Thanks again Cap for the hard work!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Since the phcanvga.exe doesn't fix the problem 100%, I recommend, in call, sliding open the keyboard, then closing it.

When I do this, the buttons seem to jump up a bit, making them accessible.

I've been searching for a permanent fix for quite some time, and haven't found squat... When & IF I do find anything, I'll be sure to let you know.

And if, by chance, you find a solution before I do, please inform... :D:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dalek_Caan:
if they are barely showing up it sounds like the positionfix . try what Cap has already posted here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6180070&postcount=1377

This has been a know item for a while with the buttons slightly low
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I didn't realize this still wasn't working for you. It still works fine for me. Is it not working for anyone else using the 21898 Sense 2.5 (Fuze or TP?) builds?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Yeah, still not 100% fixed.

When I slide out my Keyboard, and back in (during a call) this is the result:

But before I slide it out & back in, only the top parts of the buttons appear... too small to "Click" though...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] squelch41:
I've flashed my GSM Touch Pro to Captain's Special WM 6.5 ROM which I like very much but I really miss the phone keypad layout soft-keyboard that HTC provided with WM 6.1 (ABC on one key, DEF then next etc combined with T9)

The current WM 6.5 rom had the HTC Touch soft full keyboard but I find it hard to type accurately on especially on the move.

Is there anyway of enabling/installing the phone keypad layout?

Thanks!

Install the EzInput 1.5 CAB from the first page :). That'll get you the original TP keyboard, with working Phone Keypad.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] stylez:
Really enjoying the ROM top notch :)

Had a problem after having Faceplant & Tw@tter active @ once seemed to slow down but not 100% necessary to me so just gone for minimal tabs.

Going to play about with folder icons today "not used 6.5 in along time" have them pre injected in .dll so won't be hard.

Wanted to ask do you have a larger image of your avatar so can make a splash to match?

Thanks in advance :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Interesting idea. My wife made it in Photoshop, and I don't recall where the original is. She's my graphic designer, but of course, until now, she had no reason to design for me. With me flashing her Pure now, more custom graphics will likely be created. But I never even thought of a custom splash . . .
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] spideyngo:
+1 for custom CT Splash

+1 for a custom startup flash

Also, have you thought of using XDA_UC for your ROMS Captain?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ChocolateBuddha:
File Factory is not letting me download:

The Captain's Special - Sense 2.1 - Build 21898 - FUZE Edition

Could someone be awesome and upload it to another website?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Honestly, I'd recommend getting the Sense 2.5 version, as it seems more Stable. (And Trust me, I've been through atleast 4 different versions of Caps ROMs :: The 21898 Sense 2.5 Build is perfect)

There really is no RAM difference between the two, honestly, and if your device DOES start to slow down, do a forum Search for "cleanRAM 2.2". :)

Besides, Sense 2.5 is much more beautiful and allows a lot of custom Modification :: Cookies Home Tab, Facebook Tab, Doc Tab, etc.. Sense 2.1 is obsolete in HTCs eyes.

Hope this helps m8.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ChocolateBuddha:
I am using 2.5 right now, and I am really not liking the feel of it. I wanted to try 2.1 because a friends wife was using Cap's 2.1, and it felt just right to me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'll have my wife make up something for the custom startup screen.

I haven't tried XDA_UC. It looked kind of complicated to me, but it probably isn't. I know it uses Mortscript, which I'm already including in the ROM. Is there any particular reason you suggest trying it?

Sorry about that. I apparently never uploaded it to the FTP (it was being slow). I'll work on that now (my wife's Sense 2.5 Pure ROM is currently cooking, so I should have a few minutes).

EDIT: Direct Link to ROM added to Post #2.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ChocolateBuddha:
Thx Cap! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] argentocruz:
After having major issues with sense 2.5 I tried a super old stable rom to check if it was my phone... The phone was stable so my phone is OK...

So now I have Sense 2.1 - Build 21893 and that's working fine...

No idea why 2.5 was so unstable on my phone and could never be brought back with a soft reset...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Possibly a bad flash.

Was the Sense 2.5 version bad right from the start? Or did it take a few hours/days, etc..?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] argentocruz:
I flashed it a dozen times each time it played up. I had to as each time it did a soft/hard reset didn't work... If I flashed to an older stable rom it would be fine... I even tried another popular 2.5 rom and it was fine... Just this 2.5 on my tp = fail!

Would freeze at random times. Sometimes minutes after the flash and at other times the next day...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
That's strange. I only had a stability issue with builds prior to 21898. Once I got the 21898 build, and re-tested the Sense, everything ran beautifully.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] buffguitar:
is there a cab for sense 2.1 for "remove Background for all Tabs Mod"? Thanks. Everything works great! Running on 21898 =)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
For most of the Sense 2.1 Mods & Additions, I'd take a look in [THIS THREAD]. Kimi is, in-fact, the one who ported it to VGA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Just disable Sense and uninstall it using the "Remove Programs" applet. It's called "kimi_sae_ireba Sense 2.1 BGMod".
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] somepeon:
Hi Cap'n, any eta on a new ROM with the latest builds?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Agent Zach:
Well, I hope you don't find any major issues. :)

I'm looking forward to the newest COM2 Release.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] nkrick:
Captain, once you get going with ROMs for the Pure/Topaz, do you think you might be able to keep ROM's in sync (or close) between the Raphael and Topaz? I only ask because I have a Fuze and my wife has a Pure and it would be nice to give her a ROM that is nearly the same as mine. I can get that with the Energy ROMs, but I like the more stock like feel of your ROMs...

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] o0steveo0o:
Any chance you can port this to the tilt2 / rhodium?

Cheers :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dadi68:
Yo Captain!

I'm lurking 6-7 days in your thread...

My TP wearing Timolols Titanium ROM and I dont have any problems...

But I'm flirting with your "Sense 2.5 VGA Build 21898" :-)

Tell me something, how last the battery with that ROM?

Before a month, Tael's Sense 2.5 ROM consumes 10% / hour of my battery and dude, I dont want to live that again...

Thank you

I'm waiting for your reply

Dimitris.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
I hadn't planned on releasing a Pure/Topaz ROM series. I barely have enough time to keep up with my Fuze/TP ROMs, so adding an entire ROM series for another device would require more time than I have. Besides that, my wife likes to have a working device, so there's really no way I can do all the testing necessary to have a well-working ROM :rolleyes:. I can, however (if you really want it) provide you a copy of the ROM I cooked for my wife. It's the newest version of my COM5 Sense 2.5 ROM (Build 23563) with CHT 1.7.1 installed via CAB (first CAB during customization). My wife hasn't found any serious issues with it so far (except for the Menu soft key in Sense not working). It includes the eReader, Recent Documents, Footprints, & Facebook tabs (because they need not be ported for a WVGA device), and does NOT include Flip_IT (because rotation actually works on the Topaz in the COM5 builds without it). Let me know if you'd like it.

I could try, but the Rhodium is a completely different device than either the Topaz or the Fuze (those two are essentially the same). If I had a Tilt 2 to test on, I'd gladly try. But without one, I don't feel comfortable doing that. And I'm not prepared to use my upgrade for a Tilt 2 at this time, knowing that AT&T will eventually have to come out with a capacitive touch-screen Windows phone, whether it have 6.5.x on it, or WP7.

I'll have to defer to my ROM users on this one, as I don't use the COM2 ROM. I think most of the battery issues were resolved with the 21898 build, however.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Dadi68:
Ok, how is battery life with your COM5 build? :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] nkrick:
Thanks for the offer, but I use COM2 (like some others, I just can't adjust to the start menu and task manager moving to the bottom of the screen). Trying to get my wife to adjust to COM5 wouldn't be much fun, especially when I don't use it myself - the hope was to have a nearly identical ROM so when my wife calls me asking how to do something, or I need to show her how to do something, it would be the same between my Fuze and her Pure (aside from hardware differences).

I may just have to start cooking my own ROMs ;-)
