I have been a member here for a few years starting with my 8125 then moving to a touch then to a Tilt2 and of course found god today when i ordered a HD2 lol. I have also found it difficult and very time consuming trying to find a rom through all of the clutter[Posts].

I got a little bored and thanks to this post decided to create a website dedicated to xda roms. The website is http://xdaroms.com and the idea behind it is for people to filter out by their device and a few other filters to find the rom that would best fit their needs. It would also link back to xda-developers.com posts where users can read more about the rom and also download the rom. I would need help from the people at xda to keep it updated because I can't invest hours into updating the website myself. I put up a few test roms so you get the idea. If you guys are interested PM me or post here if you think it would be a good idea and might want to help out. It has a full administration so you can add roms through a web UI but would need to get some helping hands and reputable people to help post rom info.

Again this would only be an informational website a sort of meta data to xda-developers.com and it would also allow me to give back to the community.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 9Michael9:
The changes among the ROMs are very minor

The fact is that most of the cooked ROMs are so similar, at least from user's perspective. I do appreciate the hard work of the cooks, but I believe that they should be aware of the preferences of the crowd. From my personal perspective I would prefer to see more emphasis on functionality and appearance. As an example, "Max manila" is a right way to go.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] be_vigilant:
Why the need for dozens of ROMS?

Donations:eek: (ignore me I am cynical)

It is not too difficult to cook a rom using all the EXCELLENT tools posted here by the real heroes of XDA. :D

In the past I used ROMs posted here. I then started to read and absorb all the superb info there is available on this site. You can even download a Pre-Built kitchen with the latest WM builds!

I cook everything I need in mine Console Emulators,SWYPE keyboard,BarcodeZilla,Trackme,Myplayer etc. The kitchen also comes with tweaks. What more could you want :-)

Once you graduate from the pre-built kitchen category things become even. more fun.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Remco-:
The problem is not the amount of ROMS in the ROM Development forum part.

Every ROM has it's own advantages and disadvantages.

The thing that makes the ROM Development area confusing and chaotic is all the other threads in here.

If people would post their **** in the General area and leave the ROM Development just for the different ROMS it would be a lot easier to compare all the available ROMS.

There will always be a need for different ROMS as everyone has their own preferences.

[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
So, I was attempting to get my Shift triple booting. I was following a guide that required that the target disk sometimes be external and sometimes internal, in order to get everything to work right. All of a sudden, the internal drive is completely undetectable, no matter which drive I have in there. I have both the original HD and a 64GB Runcore SSD. No matter which one is in there, it is not detected. I press F10 and it doesn't appear in the boot menu. Whatever is plugged into the USB does, however. I'm not about to boot everything from the USB. I go into the bios and next to HD capacity it says 0MB. WTF? Does anyone have any idea what's happened? If not, my next post is going to be "for sale" post reading: Shift for Parts.

If it's something as simple as the cable connecting the drive to the motherboard, okay, but I still don't really want to take the time to find one, nor send it to HTC, because my warranty is probably void anyway. ARGHHHHHH!
[Shift General] tpartridge:
I had a similar experience with a hard drive just dying. I replaced with a SSD and all is well and I couldn't be happier with my Shift!
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
The problem Isn't the HD or SSD

The problem is that the drives work fine externally. I can hook them up via USB and they works just fine. So it's got to be something with the shift itself. I just don't know if it's something simple to replace like the ribbon or if it's the entire motherboard. Anyone have an idea?
[Shift General] cybericebyte:
I currenty have the same problem with my shift I have found zif ribbon cables for toshiba on ebay fairly cheap the question is will this standard cable work or is the ribbon zif cable in the shift from the hdd to the mobo special connectin for the mobo will let you know as soon as I recive them I ordered a little over a week ago got them 10 for about 6$ small price to pay for a hopeful simple fix ;)
[Shift General] TopRowGuywithFeet:
I Appreciate It, but I Think My Problem is the Mobo

So, along with the SSD, Runcore includes a couple of ribbons. I went ahead and tried them out and none of them worked, but they did work when I used them in the USB HD Enclosure, also included. My diagnosis? I fried my Mobo! I'm such an idiot! And there's no chance of using the warranty, not with how much I fiddled around inside. GSMMonster.com certainly ain't going to take it back. They sold it to me used and claimed it was new anyway. I can't belie e it, $1400 down the toilet! No Shift for me, which means no computer. I love my life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mce0004:
Hey is there anyway to change the menu bar at the bottom where there is a little windows icon (in the newer builds of WINMO) back to the original start menu in the top left corner???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dwizzy130:
Short answer = No.

The whole point of these new 6.5.X builds is to have it at the bottom and bigger so it's more finger friendly.

dwizzy130
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tmotp2jc:
Actually, having it on the top left was more finger friendly to me. Holding the phone with my left hand, my thumb has to do some serious contortionist moves to tap the start button on the bottom, whereas on the top it's just a little above where my thumb can reach, so just a minor stretch. I actually prefer the 6.5 builds because of this.

Well, that and the "Finger friendly" initiative microsoft is taking seems to be just make everything bigger, a big patch fix rather than an honest effort at revamping the backend.

EDIT: this has very little to do with ROM cooking though, so I imagine this thread will be moved or closed soon.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] animelover:
Sounds like you have to look for Build 21889 (COM2 branch) ROM's! That's what you want! ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ai6908:
After using WM6.5.X about an yr! I strongly disagree that top ones are fingerfriendly..:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tlglegacy:
hmmm..never used my fingers to press that but it's thumb friendly enough for me but yea i am not a fan of the menu bar at the bottom so i use the 21889 build which has the old style that you like. If you look at NRG's newest ROM he cooked both builds

Hi,

since a short while I own a HP 614c, having owned several other smartphones before, be it Nokia Communicators, HTC Windows devices or Palm Treos. However, the audio quality while phoning is the worst with this device, I mean over the normal earpiece, not speakerphone. The caller sounds like coming from a tin can, I have no idea yet how I sound to them. I'm running sergerios 6.1 ROM on this one, could this be ROM inflicted, or is it a general problem of the device, or do I have to turn some screws in WM?
[HD2 General] pharao:
Hep, I know this is stupid question of mine, but I am stressed on time due to my workload.

So I just need a quick hint here.

How do I remove (aka "replace") a QuickLink in Manila?

Its easy enough to add one by just clicking on an empty box field.

But I can't figure out how to change an existing QuickLink, because no matter how I click on it, the best I achieve is launching the corresponding application (no pop-up DialogBox with "add/remove/change" options comes up).
[HD2 General] Archer:
Tsk tsk pharao - this is all in the manual ;)

Just kidding mate. Click Menu and you can remove a quicklink from there.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] pharao:
I threw the manual away :-(

No for real, I got my HD2 the evening before I departed for Europe and everything from the package that was not cable or storage went into the trash bin that day...

Thanks for the info mate, I'll try it out right away.

Hello guys,

Now i´ve got my brand new Touch2 and have a problem with the nwe GUI...

I don´t like the new start menu, i want the old one back.

Is there a way to get back to the old one?

Or is WinMob 6.5 just an optical package, so that there is no chance to use the old startmenu again?

Thanks 4 help

PS.: I know, my english is bad, Sorry :-(

Thanks for your Answer, but it´s not what I mean.

I mean the classic old startmenu, like you know it from Windows 5.0 - The classic DropDown-list which is only usable with the stylus...

Hello Miri, I'm a user of your ROM from China, first I wana show my great thankfulness to you for your hard work and your ROM gave me a reason to turn back to WWE in front of the simplified Chinese ROMs, your 21887-V34 is really nice and I have used it for weeks, however I found that the integrated a-gps feature is not working here and once I tried to use any GPS - based applications, I couldn't see the device connecting to the GPRS and it takes long to locate the satellites. Could you please help to check and let me know if there is any fixes for this ? (I tried to make REG changes and mapped my GPRS connection correctly, but it still doesn't work, using regular GSM, no 3G)

Thanks again for your rom and looking forward for your feedbacks.

Hi!

When I uncheck the "Get time from the internet" option in Start->Settings->Data Services->Internet time sync, or when for some reasons there's no data connection available, the year of my HD2's system time goes back to 2001. Day, month and the time stay to the right values. Has anyone seen this? Any fixes?

Update: this was due to a bug in GPSModDriver v1.5.0b. Updating to v1.5.1 fixed the problem. Thanks to Caste23 for the tip!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Not seen it, but I leave mine so it updates from the internet.

I take it you can change the year so that it's all correct though?
[HD2 General] ccristal:
I can, but it doesn't last long. The following time the data connection drops, it reverts back to 2001... :mad:
[HD2 General] Archer:
How strange. Just as a curiosity, try disabling the Sense interface and see what happens. (Use "Windows Default", the Titanium interface instead ;))

I'm just wondering if this is something in the Sense interface or a native windows issue.

I got a little problem with my g1.

When my phone is in standby and i get an incoming call it lags like hell.

After a delay of about 5 sec. the screen wakes...

I experienced this problem a long time, but always thought it's a ROM problem. After i tried various ROMs, i realized i still have this bug.

i don't no exactly when this problem started, but I think it came with the first donut ROMs.

I also think that it's no spl problem since i got this delay with the stock spl and the danger spl.

Does anyone have the same problem or even know a fix?

You didn't find the answer anywhere on the net? In that case, they can hold a max of 128GB.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've got a 16GB in mine and it works perfectly. I'll get a 32GB but want the price to drop before I do. They're still quite pricey.

16GB is suiting me fine. I have a seperate 8GB one for putting movies and stuff on. It just means I have to have CorePlayer installed on the device so I can switch cards and still play movies.

Edit:

Ignore the above comment by lude219. 128GB cards won't be available until next year at the earliest. 32GB is currently the largest on the market. There will be 64GB (and possibly 48GB) soon, but not yet.

question...

is that because of hardware or software? i had an old HTC Excalibur that ran winmo 5.0 back in the day. got a 8 gig card that wouldn't read in it until i flashed it to winmo 6.5. after that, it read the card no problem. funny thing is the 'fine folks' over at T-Mobile assured me that nothing over 4GB would ever work in my phone.

so i wonder, with our devices being able to run winmo, android, different variations of linux, etc... could it be just a software problem?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The HTC HD2 can only hold up to a 32 gig 2.0 Micro SD card. Click the link for proof, notice the "Expansion" in the spec list, oh yeah this is straight from HTC.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-hd2#tech-specs
[HD2 General] youngdaddytc:
interesting info

so i started surfing around, looking for more info on this topic. i found a thread from another forum citing some interesting conversation regarding the same issue. to quote from page 5 of that forum...

"What the SD 4.0 specification will add is another pin to SDXC cards which will enable the higher read/write speeds. The rest of the pins will still be present and will still act exactly like they used to. So SDXC cards will always be compatible with SDHC readers, you just won't be able to read/write from them at 300mbit/s. And that's where a firmware update can't change things; no firmware update will allow the camera to use an SDXC card at its full, currently-non-existent future speed because that extra pin interface won't be present.

'But a firmware update CAN add support for exFAT, so all the other benefits of SDXC can in fact be added to our cameras through a firmware update. These benefits include higher capacities, larger maximum file size, and faster file deleting (because that's an exFAT feature, not an SDXC feature).

'It should be noted that the higher capacities have nothing to do with exFAT. FAT32 can have volumes up to 2 TB in size. The 32GB limit on SDHC cards was artificially imposed by the SD 2.0 specification, and has now been lifted with SD 3.0. However, the larger maximum file size IS a benefit of exFAT, because files used to be limited to 4 GB on FAT32."

so i gotta think this will also apply to any other device that can physically run an SDHC card.

let the debate begin :-)

btw, quoted the line from the following forum, for reference:

http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-news-rumors/90655-new-firmware-pentax-k-7-1-03-a.html
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hmmmm interesting conversation there, I read all six pages by the way. The one guy seemed to be pretty sure of himself. But from what he said if you use a SDXC card that uses extFAT in a decice that does not support extFAT. It will reformat it with Fat 32 making it a regular SDHC card without the extra advantage of the higher speeds that a SDXC reader that does support extFAT can use.
[HD2 General] youngdaddytc:
right, that's what i got out of it too. but the big bonus there is that even with the reformat, the space on that card is still accessible, be it 'just' sdhc speeds. that's ok though, cuz that's what we're used to. i'd really like some of the xda developers to take a look at this and see what they can do.

on a somewhat related note, there's a program i use on my laptop called 'macdrive' which allows me to view previously unrecognized files and partitions which windows doesn't see naturally. this allows me to tri-boot (linux, mac, and windows) and modify each of those partitions from any one of the systems.

point here, is that even if there is initially a problem reading the data on a sdxc card, it seems that problem is only with the software not hardware and therefore can be modified.

if i could program i'd start experimenting myself.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
This is very true, and I am in the same boot as you. I wish I had the dev knowledge and skills to start working on something for this, or a real dev could get there hands on this and see what is possible. I guess the only true way to put this to the test is for someone to get there hands on one of these beast of a SD card (64 to 128 gig what :eek:) and stick it in the HD2 to see what it does.
