Hi ahmedfikry,

As promised the new Bottom slider cab fully working, however I wasn't able to solve the MediaControl section....Yet, but I'll work on it...Anyway for now you will find four cabs attached first two are Top slider and Bottom slider the other two cause I'm pretty sure someone will ask..Top_Bot is top slider in Portrate and Bottom slider in Landscape mode and the second vice versa..

Whats different in these sliders;

Appointments & calendar Icon now display properly and behaves itself on completion....

improvements on display

and finally in the Top slider the Appointment is displayed above the clock instead of below and shifting the clock up the display....

I like to mention MindFrost82 over on XDA HTC Rapheal forum as it is their work that I have adapted for the Kaiser..Thank You :D

See Updated post here:http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6222887&postcount=942

Just in case anyone is wondering what this is all about. It is a modified cab for altering the appearance of the default Lock Screen it has specially been modified to work with ahmedfikrys 23xxx ROM's and so works with the WM6.5 Screen Lock it also compatiable with SmartLock. Just download whichever version you want and install the cab. If it asks, just install to your device and not the SD card softreset, you can also drop the cab into your XDA_UC folder. Ahmed if you like the Top Lock feel free to use it in your next ROM. I adapted this just for you......

There is no sim card icon/stk. Could you please restore it/give restore instructions/cab file.

Thanks

please do not share or upload my work elsewhere without permission or i will have to stop cooking
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
thanks for sharing

i will test them now
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
cooking 23559 now

will upload soon
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
see if this works to show SIM card STK services:

use file explorer to navigate into windows folder

click on "simtkui.lnk"

if it works...copy & make a shortcut for it inside windows\Start Menu\Programs

let me know, if it doesn't work then I will provide a cab that fix it & add HTC sim STK to replace the one from MS

EDIT:

Never mind, i just made a working AB for STK sim card services

you can install or drop in your XDA_UC folder so it auto-installs after each flash

hello again

i tested the lockscene_bottom one

it looks much better...but i noticed one more thing:

if you have an appointment then you get a missed call or a voicemail, then the two will overlap

the drop box for missed call will be behind the text for the appointment

maybe you can move these drop boxs down

well...just cooked 23563 a little bit ago

it is 10 MB fatter in size & actually it is somewhat slower

also noticed that active sync freezes & does not connect sometimes with XPR

sorry but ... i will just stick with LZX for now, like i always did & it worked well

so i post it here for users to compare & judge 2 roms of same build & packages just diferent compression

will wait for feedback

You feel that it is is worth going the XPR route, despite the 9.9M loss?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RasputinUK:
Yes I think XPR has a slight edge. I don't load my Kaiser with too many apps. Although I must say there is little differance in speed and performance overall, but hey, that's just my humble opinion. Ahmedfikrys ROM's are good with either method. So I guess I will leave it up to him, he's the Chef.....:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
thanks

I will keep testing both roms (LZX vs XPR). I have them running on 2 phones to compare until next build leaks & i will decide then which method to cook with.

So far i really notice NO difference in performance like you do??? LZX spares 10 MB of space so I still think I should use LZX so far ... but I am also waiting for more reports & feedback from other users too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
LZX vs. XPR

This, I found on the internet:

"Yeah, that’s how it could look like – LZX compression mechanism is just outstanding. Yes, it compresses way longer, but decompresses in the same time as XPR, but it gives about 10% better compression ratio! And that means, that if your device’s storage depends on the ROM’s size – you get 10% of free storage more!" Source: here

Like I see it, LZX takes longer to cook, but results in a far better compressed ROM. Using LZX, the ROM does not become faster than using XPR, or vice versa.

In other words, LZX should at all times be preferred above XPR. But that's just my humble opinion. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MarkAtHome:
Thanks, guys. I will wait for a new release, allowing Ahmed to make the decision between LZX and XPR. Too esoteric for me. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Kenouno:
LZX vs XPR

Well, I flashed the 23563-XPR with:

- QuickGPS

- SPB Mobile Shell w/MobileSense

- Google Maps 4.1

- RemoteTracker

- Garmin Mobile XT w/VenRut

- ActiveSync pushing 24/7 my GMail (Mail, contacts & calendars)

I'm pretty sure it is a little faster... Starting up, launching heavy applications (like Garmin), changing between apps, touch screen more responsive, GPS locks much faster indoors and Windows GPS Intermediate Driver finally appears to be working.

I have not technical expertice to say a final word BUT data connection (GPRS/EDGE and even WIFI) is a little slower and I have to manual disconnect and reconnecting again a few times to get it working... Again, after a couple of hours, indicator shows as connected but no internet at all, I have to disconnect data and reconnect... I guess it is not my carrier because this "lost of data connection" keeps disconnecting even over WIFI (another ISP)...

Basically, XPR appears to be a little faster for heavy apps but data connection bug will force me to flash back to LZX versions. It is to quick to say anything about battery, i will try to test a few days but i am a twitterholic and need the data connection working every minute..! I'll be feeding you back.

I beg your pardon for my poor english, spanish is my natural.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pozabi:
I have a problem with ring volume strength for each contact. Built-in tones work normally, added tones are too quiet, barely audible. With the previous ROM PDACorner acted normally, in this ROM (23563) is too quiet. Ringtones in format .mid do not work as a ringtone, but in WMP play normally.

Any advice?

BR
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
I confirm that .mid work on WMP but not as ringtones..i will check into that & see if I can make .mid work as ringtones

but the contact rings work fine with added tones for me..maybe it is the quality of the mp3 files you have??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RasputinUK:
Hi Ahmed,

You did not say if you liked my new Lockscreen top slider? a few posts back. I changed the calendar notifications to display above the clock instead of the default way....:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pozabi:
Mp3 quality, that I have, is the same as on the previous ROM, which is operated BP. Added mp3 at 100% intensity is same loud as the built-in on 40%.

Added mp3 at 40% intensity are silent.

BR
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RasputinUK:
Hi again Ahmed,

I have run both versions of your ROM over the last few days and other than XPR booting about 1 - 3% faster there is no significant differance between the two in real time use. This is of course due to the contents and size of the XIP (eXecute In Place). Speed wise I can't decide between the two but I think I'll vote for the LZX as it is 10% smaller......:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] keops2009:
Hi Ahmed

I`m using 23563 rom and when i run "internet sharing" connection is not established with the PC via USB, anybody reports this problem?.

Some days ago, i tried ROM 25318 from Zorc and "internet sharing" function well but i prefer "ultra light" roms like yours... something is missing in "ultra light" rom...?

Help! your ROM is optimum for me.

Try lo took at Settings->Settings->Connections and than in Proxy Settings... maybe you have something there set by ActiveSync on your PC. If this is the reason, to avoid ActiveSync set proxy parameters, you have to change "This computer is connected to:" from "Automatic" to "Work Network" under "Connection Settings" of ActiveSync

Oh, is there any chance you could put a stock HTC splash screen (as in the one that you can only change in the ROM) in the next release? A previous flash put its own bit of nonsense in there, and now I'm stuck with it. Thanks.

LZX compression

V7 will be out very soon with button 6 fix..still working on video playback issue, not sure if i will include opal comm manager or not, i like light roms and MS one works well for me but i know its not "pretty" enough

i have no issues with IE so far...and i will look for an opera mini cab that supports arabic too & may post it seperatly later.. battary life will be better in V7 as i am adding a power management package during cooking
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thesecondsfade:
The reason I like Opal Comm Manager is not because it's "pretty", it just has better options than the MS Comm Manager. I like that you can toggle each option and also go to each option's settings directly from Opal Manager rather than needing to go to Start/Settings/Communications to do it. It's just easier to use.

It's not hard to just place Opal Manager (and any other CAB for that matter) in the XDA_UC folder so I don't really mind if you don't include it in the actual ROM.

The one thing I do agree that the ROM needs, though, is an automated Network setup on the first boot, like what's included on burtcom's esperOS or jjblaster's ROMs. It makes it easier to get data connection up and running without manually setting it up... and it takes no technical knowledge to do it.

Great work

Recently converted to SPB mobile shell 3.5 after being a long-time user and fan of M2D. Man does it run great on this ROM! I've been able to find cabs for everything else I wanted to add except for a good phone canvas (I absolutely hate the stock dialer). I've developed a preference for the Mega phone canvas. TPC has a maega phone canvas cab for 6.5.x, but I don't care for the black swirly background image and there's a gap between the top taskbar and the top of the canvas on incoming calls. Does anyone know of a different mega dialer cab that might work a bit better? If now, has anyone tried the Opal dialer with this ROM?

Ahmed - wonderful job. Keep it light!

tested for few days

definitly the LZX is better than XPR, less space & as fast ...so i am taking down the link for the XPR and will leave the LZX link only at first post...I will also cook in LZX from now on any new builds that may leak

as for .mid ringtones, no fix yet...it is because the sahred modules package i use which is needed to for videoplay back conflicts with mid ringtones

but the mp3 tones work well for me...i can not replicate that issue you have with them, they play as loud as usual

also internet sharing works well
