Congratulations Russ on the promotion!:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaDoctor:
Ok, I guess Russ can ban me now, I better start behaving!

Congrats bro!!

check ol Russ out...congrats dude
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GoodRevrnd:
That would be my thought too as I've had enough nightmarish problems with GPS devices when they are working correctly, but I have yet to get a lock on a single satellite. I'm even more suspicious considering I tried it on Cell, got nothing, immediately flashed to stock and got an instant 9 satellite lock, immediately flashed back to Cell and got nothing again. OTOH, I find it odd I'm the only one that seems to be having this problem. I've troubleshooted every possible thing I can think of and it all points to the ROM, but again doesn't make sense I seem to be an isolated incident. Are there any funny hardware versions for Rhodiums that I can maybe check to see if I have that might be causing problems? I'm determined to make this work because after using the fantastic Cell rom everything else makes me want to vomit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] akashastrega:
Have you run QuickGPS?

Do you have your settings set to auto detect/manage?

I have used the attached file in the past to turn on/off GPS when it wasn't reading...you can try it...but it may take up resources by running in the background. That's the only other suggestion I have.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
@ Russ; congrats on the promotion to mod, and welcome back from vacation. Must have been nice to tune out the Internet for a while. My vacation isn't lined up until the first week of June (Wakarusa Music Festival is the ****.) it's always worth the wait.

@skashatrega; I probably spell your username wrong most if not all the time, so sorry about that. Anyway, glad you're back into your Internetting routine and had a good time at that Relay 4 Life business.

@ Good Rev...; I'm glad Russ is back, because if you've RTFM'd and not done anything wrong I don't have a clue what the issue is. Mine's a RHOD300 and I have only minor quibbles with it. The biggest one was the GPS lag that even advancing the living crap out of the poll rate and slashing the input and output buffers in the registry didn't fix it. And yeah, there are several Rhodium variants; however, I do not believe they use different GPS packages in different Rhodiums. I'm pretty sure the motherboards are all the same except for radio antennae and the CDMA ones have a different radio altogether.

@ Everyone that hates that GPS lag; I've messed around with Mach2003's GPSMod driver for a good while now, and I have to say it is indeed the awesome. I guess you could cook it in, but I think it'd be more well-suited to a link to that thread on the first page of this thread. The only setting I changed on it was GPS Lag Advance from 0 to 2800ms, and that's working superfluously well. Garmin's a joy now, except for when you turn onto a different road. It still takes it a few seconds to realize that, but it's still awesome.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nqnguyen2:
Thanks for keeping in touch with us Russ. Normally I don't donate so quickly after using an App/ROM but this ROM completely kicks butt compared to all the ROM I've used in the past (including other devices).

Here ya go Sergio, 0HD73568LS997994E, go on with your bad self. :D

Hi, I'm Jenn, and I'm a rom junkie

JENN works too!! And thanks, I had a fantastic time and am already looking forward to next years Relay For Life.

In fact...everyone...don't trip about using my akashastrega...feel free to call me Jenn...or cute monkey chick...or feisty woman...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] brianmay27:
Does the ROM lag if there is a lot of txts in the inbox? Recently the rom's been freezing and it seems to be more often as I get more text messages. Im running evo 9.1 w/ HTC messaging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sambo60:
Yes, HTC messaging lags badly. I don't even have all that many texts (I don't have a texting plan, so I ask people NOT to text me), and it still lags, especially when drawing all the texts from the same person. Also, when I get a new text, even if I tap the new text icon on the taskbar (which shows the new text) and then press hide, the new text icon on the taskbar doesn't go away until I go to the texting tab on the slider. And even then, the messages are not marked as read until I go into the messaging client and tap on the message. Overall, it's very irritating. But that's my ONLY gripe with this ROM so far, because otherwise it's been quite awesome.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] brianmay27:
Cool, thanks. I think I may go with the no htc messaging when the next build is released
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] shinku:
for last couple weeks i have been testing the GPSMod. Prior to it i have used the GPSTest tool. I tested it on both Sergio EVO 9.1 and NRG 6.5.5 Sense 2.5. Tested it with GoogleMaps, Garmin and TomTom. for tomtom i have no maps so just tested how fast it locks to SATs

Please note that you have to setup all your nav software to point to the Com port GPSMod assigns, in most cases its COM3. And for Garmin you need to use the Garmin utility otherwise it will revert back to its default driver.

After the initial setup, i just open my preferred nav app and get an instant lock within seconds. the maximum i had to wait was 15 seconds but for most part its within couple seconds. Even during overcast, or heavy clouds...or snow (yup we got snow up here in May, what the) i had a faster lock with it. To my surprise i got SAT lock even from my office in downtown where before it wasn;t possible. so i use this regularly. if you use your GPS on rare occasions you will like it as it will give u a much faster lock, however if you use GPS everyday, you will get a lock instantly as it uses historic data. In fact I tested the standalone Garmin with Garmin on my phone and phone locked onto SAT faster than the standalone gps.

SOme anomalies i noticed.

with Google Maps, if you launch google maps and u are lets say underground, obviously it won't get a GPS lock, but next time you launch google maps GPS settings revert back to default Automatic instead of Manual Com port. so watch out for that

With Garmin - if you install the utility make sure you uninstall if prior to reflashing another ROM as the utility creates a backup of the QuePPC (names it old.exe). And if you go to new rom and run the QuePPC which GPSMod has created it will do nothing. then you will need to do a manual process of deleting the QuePPC file and then renaming Old.exe to QuePPC.exe

All in all its a great utility.

Russ i don't think Sergio needs to cook this in as it might not be for everyone and if people don't read up on how to use it, it could flood this thread unnecessarily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Indeed, GPSMod is for people that are good at RTFMing. For me, I didn't notice a difference in GPS lock time. I get about 10 locks per day, so it's usually instant except after a hard reset, a few seconds after a soft reset. The thing I like about it is Garmin's position reports are SPOT ON the vast majority of the time instead of lagging by a couple seconds. My Kaiser didnt' do that, and the Rhodium doing it was frickin' annoying.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
Thanks! Too bad I wasn't on vacation, business trip. It looks like I will be going back to the same customer site next week as well.

Enjoy your Vacation, we will try to have a new ROM for you to play with!

Keeping in touch is my job! :D

Jenn, I'm glad you like color but seriously, us old folks get headaches reading that!

Oh and we call her lots of other things on the Beta site.... :eek:

We will test the GPSMod with the next release, see if it is worth putting in as a option.

BTW...GTX? RTFMing? RTFManualing that doesn't even make since coming from you!

Google Maps

Not sure if its already under progress or has been brought up, but I think Google Maps 4.1 is out for Windows Mobile. Any chance this will be in the next ROM too? =) Because I think it finally has voice search, which comes pretty handy imo. Just wondering
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] akashastrega:
Search by voice is currently for the Droid and Crackberry market, and voiced turn by turn is for Droid only...f'ing Google...wish they'd hurry up and bring it to WinMo.

http://www.google.com/mobile/maps/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sblindheim:
Sergio have gotten a message on the Beta site, so for now it's completly up to him. And as Russ said earlier, we haven't heard from him in a couple of days, so that can only be positive :)

Good things come to those who wait ;)

-Sblindheim
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jayr415:
Actually google doesnt say its supported for windows mobile. But I installed the newest cab from them, and currently it does have voice search =) Running 4.1 Google maps on the 9.1 Leo Cell Pro.. Although the voice search isn't all that if you don't pronounce everything correctly, or say it quick enough

And as for voice search, bing is alright.. For me, Bing FAILS EPICLY to correctly find my location. But its still pretty decent as for searching up places by voice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Yaboi Jess:
Hey guys I could really use some help. Please pm me if you can answer my question. I am trying to tweak a few things for the start up. Since maybe I am either just not noticing it or sergio changed a few of the names for these files.

I need to know the names of the start up pics and gif and sound during the gif if you know it... have been looking hard and reading diffrent forums for these answers still to no avail.

1st screen before radio screen-

2nd screen the radio screen-

3rd gif

4th and final i believe the windows screen for the 9.1 that loads

I found the shutdown one the reverse of the load gif. But cant find the exact others.

Thanks in advance if you can help me not blast me. :) I am assuming total commander would be perfect for the replacment also if you know where to find the original htc touchpro pics and maybe windows wav would be good... I found some things like qualcom rom load ups but the cab don't work for me don't know why.

Love the rom just trying to put my twist on the load up. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
I woke up and now I can't hard reset and my bottom 4 buttons are weirding out. the send, start, and back buttons won't turn off and flash sometimes, the end button isn't lighting up at all. about to flash stock ROM and crap and swap it out as soon as ATT opens. I hope HSPL doesn't throw a huge kink in this when I try to HSPL my replacement device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
At last report from Sergio, ALL packages were being updated for the next release, I can only presume that would include GMAPS.

Russ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
To answer as much of this as I can:

1. This is a 'Splash Screen' you will not find it with Total Commander as it 'lives' in it's own memory space. Not in the OS space. Search XDA for Splash screen changer. You will have to 'flash' it in.

2. Same as 1

3. not sure what you are asking? GIF?

4. Welcomehead<some number>.gif yes this is the windows boot up screen, you can easily change it just make sure your image is of the correct size. Search (total commander is fine) for Welcomehead in the /windows folder edit your image to the same size and replace.

Thank You

Thanks for the update Russ.

I can only imagine the work Sergio has been doing over the last couple of weeks. (Rebuilding his computer, restoring software, rebuilding ROM kitchen, gathering new packages for the next release, working and live his personal life)

The quality of his ROMs and the amount of work that goes into them, I am happy but amazed at his dedication.:D

I say

THANK YOU

Sergio
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Reel E. Weird:
First off I just wanna say Leo Evo with NO CHT and HTC SMS Client is shaping to be by far the best rom I've flashed. I did what others suggested and just installed CHT separately and my phones functionality and response time is doing things it has never done...and i mean that in a good way. NO hangups, or freezing from SMS messgaging...even the speeds scrolling through the tabs seem to be faster now (thats just probably in my head though :D)...Im almost sad that another release is on the way (not that sad, but still :D)

With the .91 radio, BING almost immediately finds a fix on my location every single time i've either hard reset or flashed to another rom that has it cooked in. If it doesnt find it immediately, it finds it within a soft reset or two, but I've had little problems with BING. I like Bing's voice search b/c it will show multiple locations (cant say if googles will do the same as I have not researched it yet)...my ONLY gripe with BING is that its map design is inferior to Googles.

Hey

maybe I'm just a bit dumb. But I'm unable to find a way to get back to some running applications. I.e. Pocket Putty opens a new session every time I start it - so there is no way to get back to my running sessions.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] token2k6:
I know its a little late in the 9.1 game to be wondering about this, but does anyone else's free memory hover b/t 25mb-30mb? I'm checking this by viewing mmtaskmanager by clicking at the top. It always shows the same range..when I run CleanRam level 3, I clear up 14mb, but then 40mb free mem is left. For some reason this seems really low to me, but it doesn't really cause any adverse effects on the phone..

ok, just checked after a fresh SR, 74mb free, so I guess it goes low after running various apps..i never leave anything running in the background. Maybe I should just soft reset more, but damn, 9.1 runs so great, almost no need!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sblindheim:
The lowest amount I've had is 17Mb, It has to do with the amout of customisations from Sergio. When you go to the settingstab f.ex. all the graphics loads to the memory for a quicker view next time you need it. So the longer you use the phone, and the more of the phone you use, the lower the memory goes. As long as the programs running nice, there's no need to SR.

Exhange Policies and CHT

For anyone who has tried the No HTC Messaging flavor, have you been able to have an Exchange email account running along with installing CHT? If so, does the order matter, ie will installing CoOkie's before adding email settings work? Thanks for the help. From this thread and CoOkie's, I could only see that they don't work (depending on policies) unless CHT is cooked in. -Matt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
Matt, that is all we know... if you have an encrypted exchange account and try to use Co0kies as a cab it will break your email. I tested it and yes it does break. I didn't try different load orders, not enough beta time. So, if you want both you will have to live with HTC messaging.

ROM Memory Issue?

I have to also agree. I did pose this question to Sergio and he is fully aware of amount to memory that is used by his ROMs. It is a small price we pay to have the best on this phone. Many of the applications and icons we have on our phone were not built for our phones. The programs had to be hacked and/or ported over to be supported by the TP2. The graphics and visual appearance of Sergio’s ROM are far superior to any other ROM.

As a result, it is suggested that we all set up and use the Clean RAM. This will help restore some of your phones memory but the faster you use the phone and all of the features, the faster you can run out of memory. (IMO, I wonder if this is the cause for some apps to suddenly close. Clean RAM is closing an app while we are in it)

I personally set up any application I can to store data on my SD card (RSS, eMail, Photos, Music, Ringtones, Notes, eReader and 3rd party apps. In addition, see if you can move some files from your phone’s memory (My Documents) to your SD card. Also, look at how many TXT/MMS messages you have, number of cities set up for Weather, number of tweets you have stored on your phone. All of this will take up your phones buit in memory.

I just wanted to throw some ideas out there for people to look at the way their phone is set up to handle their phones memory. Maybe Sergio can come up with a way to reduce the memory but until then it is up to us to work with what he cooks and do the best we can to not blame the build until we first look at our own phones.

My phone has been working fine with Clean RAM set up per page 1 of the post. Memory is not an issue.

Very good Rom, but it's not in German, so it isn't very useful for me. I love your colored icons in Manila home tab, comm manager, settings tab, sound & display tab etc!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Colombia81er:
I have noticed some SMS issue well when ever i get a txt and i reply to it it will go blank and it will stay with the msg i have received as if that was the one i sent. Then i get a new txt and everything shows normal
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sblindheim:
I think this can be addressed to the HTC messaging client. I get it to sometimes, but it's not a big problem, press back, and i'm all good.

-Sblindheim
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sblindheim:
What do you need to be in German? the entire language on the phone, or is it enough with the typing(T9 etc..) and HW keyboard layout?

The last part is easily fixed, the language of the ROM is harder to do something with.

The Reg entries to change T9 language and HW kayboard layout is described several times by me in this thread.

Underclock during sleep

Sergio/Russ, what do you think about underclocking down to about 300mhz during sleep mode to save battery power? Once the device is woken up it should only take half a second to power up to the full clock rate. I think the idea would definitely give your ROM a huge advantage.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
Nam I think that is a VERY interesting idea. We know that overclocking doesn't work on Rhodium (at least not yet) but underclocking does.

What do you think Sergio?

Russ
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
+1 for underclocking during sleep. I'm always on the prowl for extended battery life.

warranty replacement tilt 2 showed up earlier, got it HSPL'd and in bootloader waiting for task 29, going to try out evo 9.1.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Bizybone:
I'm going a bit off-topic here but great ROMS you guys got going, I'm laughing at all the angry/confused droid fans on Youtube. They need to understand that you've been using the name "EVO" in your ROM long before the EVO phone ever existed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] sambo60:
I'm having lots of little problems with Leo Pro 9.1, which are small by themselves but are becoming quite irritating collectively. Yes, I did task29 before flashing and a hard reset after flashing.

1) I use wifirouter extensively, and occasionally it just decides to stop working (the program will still be running, but the internet on the client PC will be either very slow or totally not working), and I can't get it to work without resetting the phone.

2) Recently, I got a new voicemail, and even after checking it the "new voicemail" on the main page won't go away, and the taskbar icon telling me I have a new voicemail won't go away even though I have no new voicemails.

3) When using wifirouter, my phone drops calls like CRAZY! It never did this before I flashed pro 9.1, and since I use wifirouter almost all the time, this is QUITE irritating, because I can't talk for more than a minute without my phone dropping the call.

4) Icons recently started 'sticking' on the taskbar. For example, when I turn on wifirouter, sometimes the icon next to the wifi icon will 'stick' in place until I tap it, and this has happened to other icons which should disappear, but are instead 'sticking' on the taskbar.

5) The battery life appears to be much worse than it was on the previous ROM I was using (Cell Pro V9)

The phone is still very nice, and I haven't had any SODs, but I would still love any advice regarding any of these issues. Thanks a lot!
