Can you confirm that you are referring to release 2.5 as the bluetooth icon works perfectly in previous release. If it is then I think I'll hold off until the fix is released otherwise I'll be constantly flashing and not actually using my phone.

By the way, Andy, can you include the free books in the next release as I notice that they are missing. I also notice that the programmable keys are not available. I normally use these to invoke MSV and Phone lock. Does anyone know the registry entries to get these back?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zeka1974:
Yes it's in 2.5 version

Thanks
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sandymac:
Many thanks for the quick response. Looks like I'll wait until Andy releases the fix. :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hansi2000:
After flashing to stock rom, and reflashig this rom, the memory usage seems to stay at 65% which is okay, because the rom is still fast and everything works well. If nothing appears, i will stay at this version. It seems very smooth and stable. Thanks Andy.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hesian:
Still an issue in 2.5. Is there no fix or are you not bothered about fixing this ?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dawnbringer:
it does but you have to update each contact individually - it doesnt download all info (FB UPDATE)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] El Zorro Dorado:
it is really one of the best roms I have had thanks for the hard work
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Heimchen:
It is a great ROM but the password protection doesnt work i think.

After setting up the protection it isnt possible to get into the mobile because the mobile doesnt accept the password.

I am using the German rom.

Thanks for your help :)

//okay i read the entire post, ill try s2u2 ;)

but no kinetic scrolling on my contacts.

nevertheless thanks cooker !
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hommer101:
I'm having some lockup issues like described on this thread.

I went back to a stock ROM before flashing this ROM (in the asumption that that would make a difference), but my HD locks up approx. 1-2 times a day :mad:

I have very little software installed (co0kies tab & iGo), does anyone know how to lose this problem??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Vecera:
Well I had lockup issue with one of BD version and only what I did (found some where on this forum - think is lockup thread) , installed default HTC graphic drivers and after that I dint have problem with lockup.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ANDYx1975:
if you are using the wm slidelock...that's the one you have to look at. And you never have to foget...you are on windows...so 1-3 weekly system crashs are part of the user experience :-) That's not causing the rom itself. Graphic drivers are not the issue.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hommer101:
I'm not using any (slide) locking at all. So that wouldn't be it. It hasn't happend since my last post so maybe whining about it helps ;)

I trust in your cooking skills to make sure my HD gets re-flashed way before Windows can crash itself :D

Hardware Buttons

Andy,

Why are there no options to program the hardware keys? Do you know the registry entries for these?

Thanks. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hesian:
+1 for having this option back.

I used to like using a hardware key for screen rotation (which is better in TomTom and AutoMapa than auto rotate)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sandymac:
Andy,

Any news on the bluetooth fix? Would also appreciate your feedback on the availability of the hardware keys. I always use these, particularly for MSVC.

Your ROMs are the best that I have tried re stability and speed. Would be great if the above were resolved as this would definitely mean that yours is the best. ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hesian:
I figured out how to add Screen Rotate to my hard key. You can program any app you like with a registry hack. Just search XDA on '40C6'

Fast ROM for Manilla 2.5

Hi Andy,

Thank you for this fast ROM. I had moved over to Sense2.1 BlackstoneHenge's ROM giving up on other Sense2.5 ROMs because they are slow in response.

I tried your ROM because u call it SpeedKing & find that it is fast & stable as well.

Icons throughout ur ROM look very good too. WOW, what an effort!!!:o

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hesian:
You only asked one question, using the word 'noch'. I realise you are German but 'noch' is not an English word so have no idea what you mean?

I'm happy to report issues and help others out, which I have been doing.

You make generally great Roms, which are fast, so please continue.

Do you need some more beta testers so major issues such as missing volume controls are detected? I am happy to volunteer.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Mirtakh:
Hiya,

last night I changed from the stock O2 Germany ROM to BlackDragon and erm... :eek:

That O2 stock ROM is soooo slow and unresponsive compared to this one. I was kinda hesitant to flash, seen as a friend of mine flashed his phone with a ROM that managed to damage (read: kill, destroy, annihilate) the phones processor... But hey, no guts, no glory.

This ROM is amazingly smooth, looks and feels better then the standard ROM and makes the WinMo experience sooo much better.

Only 1 problem that I can't seem to fix: when I put my phone in 3G mode in the Communications manager, my data connection is gone. Any way to fix this?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] blicher:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] BobbyBest:

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sandymac:
Andy,

I for one do not mean to cause offence. I greatly appreciate the work all of you guys do and in particular yourself. I have been using your 2.3 for some time, this after trying some of the others, and find yours to be particularly fast and stable. I obviously only want to upgrade from this excellent ROM if the upgrade improves my experience.

I would certainly like to see the ability to program the keys as this is useful. As to other elements, I can do without. Not sure what the issue is with volume control as I don't have any problem with my version. Obviously I am hesitant about upgrading and then finding limitations.

By the way, does the latest have the Manila TV Player installed?

:D

P.S. I posted a rilphone dll which does work with My Location on both Wifi and GPRS. This should hopefully solve the problems some people have been experiencing.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] IphoneKiller125:
i have to say,this is one of the best Roms i have tested for Blackstone,Its by far the best rom for camera however when testing i did have a bug in file explorer wich wouldnt let me tap on anything wich is a bit of a shame.the speed is overall very good,on par with NRGZ28 energy rom.lots of extras including skyfire wich is nice to see but would be even better if you put the Advanced Config tool in there and wallpaper for all tabs.overall i give it 8/10

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ANDYx1975:
the only thing I can do about ram is cutting features...and that's not the way I want to go. You still have enough free. It's HTC and MS who are asking with every release for more ram.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] serialkillazzs:
well im not htc or ms but i would like volume control and opera 10 in

opera 10 easier to use and seems to autorote better than 9.7

generally everybody else roms being updated with opera mini 5 and opera 10

if you could tweak the video recording to with hd camera would be great

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sandymac:
Andy,

Can I ask what Manila tabs you have included. I would also like to know if you fixed the problem with the hardware keys (being able to assign programs).

Not sure what the problem people are complaining about regarding the volume control so would appreciate confirmation that you can still use both system and phone volumes. And finally, if you can confirm that the zoom function is still available in the camera.

Many thanks for your efforts.

Feedback:

- MaxManila does not work. Once installed, it screws up a lot of the icons.

- Volume buttons function as up/down arrows. Not easy to change volume. :(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hommer101:
It is amazing how this ROM keeps getting faster, very nice work Andy!

No issues found so far in WWE, volume is working perfectly for me.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sandymac:
Andy's ROMs are CRC so you need to change the mode9.dll for Maxmanila to work properly. See attached and also check out the Maxmanila thread post #9.

;)

Ooops, for some reason I suddenly can't upload file. See Maxmanila thread post #9 for the dll.

Many thanks. No ebook tab? Pity. Not sure whether to upgrade to ver 3 or not now. You mentioned previously that there was a problem with volume control. What exactly is the problem?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ANDYx1975:
yeah the "16icons+Bg4All_tabs" was for an older release. Then you need to uninstall it. About the clock...it's network dependent...it is getting synchronised. Is time region correctly choosen? if not adjust this one.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] maxii84:
i've installed the co0ckie mod and it works without problems or lags (if you want your 16icons ;) )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hesian:

The volume control is fixed in the 3RC2 release. It was the previous 2.5.2 that had an issue.

Without doubt Andy is the best chef ever to cook ROM. Is he French or German ? He should be French as Im told the best cooks come from France !!:D:D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] joescian:
Andy

Just a quick one - I used Regclean and lost my HTC Clock on Home page. I restored Registry backup- now my clock appears reduced size to the left of the home screen. As does the weather animation. There must be a registry setting to restore the size of the HTC clock and weather animation icons. Do you know what that might be.

Also seems My Location is not working in this latest release. Anyone else have the same issue?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Auxarius:
Andy you're really nailing it with this rom, but I'd like to request something - could you please remove Icewolfs Lock Fix? It's not required any longer and it makes unlock button deformed, also looks like it's loading slower than the original.

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alanjp168:
its just me or the home tab becomes laggy after you set a wallpaper(esp with the raining animation)?

it was really smooth after flash though, till i put a wallpaper on. :rolleyes:

Hello Andyx1975

Hello Andy,

Firstly i would like to congratulate you on a really nice ROM :)

I am using the latest 1.7 and have not had any problems as yet (only flashed today)

I like your style and the programs that you have included!

I have however two small niggles that maybe you or someone else can help me with?

1. The white around the selected icons leaves the text unreadable, is it possible to change this?

2. The left softkey on the home screen is set to phone, which i see as pointless because you only have to press the green dial key to access the phone. What i really miss and find hard not to live with is the softkey being the HTC "Action" key. Is it possible to change this to the "Action" if the HTC action is at all present in the ROM?

Again I would like to say thank you for a brilliant job and I really appreciate the work you and every other chef does on this site. (members as well :) )

Oh, one more thing, are you on Twitter? It would be great to be informed of your new work and updates.
