Have been using it for three days and its really a fast rom with much much free ram. Good work Jackos :cool:

Only problems I had was to enable Owner Information via registry to edit it. And the last two shortcuts in programs can't be used.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
The first problem will be fixed in the next release.

With shortcuts don`t work? Can`t figure it out :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] spyrox04:
The last two in manila programs tab..but I installed the 64 shortcuts cab and now it works...maybe consider adding it in the new release, 'cause more is always better than less :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Ach, the programs in manila tab. OK, I'll fix it too.

Bluetooth stereo control issue sense sms issue

I'm currently running v4, and I love it stable super fast mad props Jacko.

I did the standard hard-reset after flash procedure and flashed via sd and I'm running the .17 radio.

I'm having two issues its seems that when I receive about 20 sms from one contact over the course of a day or more they stop showing up in sense. If I go to wm messenger it shows up like normal, and if I long press on that contact and delete all sms from them it will start working in sense again. Sort of annoying because I use both sense and wm a lot.

Finally the buttons on my bt headset to control the sense music player don't work at all. I have had this issue once before on some of NRG's roms and I read that it was due to a lack of packages. Also I have not tried to use the bt buttons with any other players because I only use sense.

Insight into these issues would be highly appreciated I love this rom, and while these issues aren't deal breakers they are quite annoying.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
No idea what could cause this messaging bug. I'll do some research.

Uch, a BT remote controler. I need to check with drivers do this job. Packages... Maybe... If you tell me with packages (i don't think it's about packages, but I may be wrong) I have to include to make this to work of course i will do it.

Sorry that I can't help you right now.

Ach, and you may expect a new Jackos Hybrid ROM in 2 weeks. Currently I'm too busy with my academy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] dryice1049:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah packages maybe the wrong terminology for what was missing, when I noticed the problem with NRG roms from the past.

I'll do some more looking and if I come across a fix I will post it.

Thanks again for the great work! Right there with you on how busy school is I'm currently working on my mechanical engineering degree. I will keep an eye out for a new R0M from you in the coming weeks if the problem isn't on my end.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Ask the author of NRG rooms, how did he fixed it, so i'll make this same.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Extreme184X:
developer of this ROM has great taste using the superior WM6.1!

I will be testing this ROM!! since i only interested in fast and stability.

For those who are still using WM6.5, its time to UPGRADE to WM6.1!

This great for the scene! we haven't had wM6.1 release in quiet some time!

Keep up the great work!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:
I wish the TP2 had more RAM as well. I love the keyboard and I also love how it can look like a mini laptop. It really does have an original look to it.

I'm sure I won't be getting a new phone anytime soon since I'm locked into a contract with T-Mobile for another year and a half. Hopefully by then I'll be able to buy a smartphone with a dual core CPU, lots of RAM and great battery life... I'm probably asking for too much but I can dream.

Power Management Utility

I love the ROM, I loathe and detest WM 6.5 on my Tilt 2, it even crashed an AT&T app from their app store. 6.1 is running great so far no bugs. I do have a request, This is my first ROM flash as AT&T forced me to upgrade my Fuze when it died. I need a power management utility, will one be in a later release or can you point me in the right direct to get one that works on your cab. I need to be able to control screen brightness and device suspend and display turn off times. And in closing got a donation link, I'll buy you a couple cups coffee since your ROM saved my butt. :D

JC

OOPS duh didn't look in settings for power setting. was too busy saying the F word at my phone, I'll never go back to the stock ROM again

IMMACULATE Rom

I started flashing new roms on my tilt 2 about 3 days ago. I stopped flashing new roms after flashing this oldschool rom. It was fun flashing different roms for a while, but after using this rom for a day, I will undoubtedly leave this one on. This rom has all the things that are neccessary and none of the crap you don't need. I was about to buy a new phone until I flashed this rom. Thanks for making my rhodium shine Jackos.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] BeEazy10:
They plan on coming out with Dual Core phone Next year. This year were looking at WM7 phone, and maybe a 2ghz phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DebbieNY13:
DLed the ROM this morning from home, so I'm good in that respect. ;) Just a question...

Is the 3.46.25.30 still the radio of choice for this ROM or are others having good results using other/newer radios? I'm in NYC, rarely travel out of the metro area, so I just wanted to be sure before flashing.

I have to flash from SD card (USB is FUBAR), so I'll have to flash stock 1st before radio.

Thanks,

Debbie
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
The 3.xx.xx.30 radio will give you the best battery life.

If you feel that the radio signal reception is too bad for you, feel free t change the radio. For my experience the 3.xx.xx.30 works great, however some users have reported poor signal reception.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Quietly updating the Oldschool ROM to version 1.3.

This release doesn't bring any changes in the way the rom looks like, but you may notice it's 5MB less. I focused on making the baking even more reliable. Ach, you won't believe this one, but actually I made some mistakes in terms of optimizing and keeping this rom stable.

Changelog in first post as always.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:

I like that NRG gives us another ROM option but it seems to me that he's just cranking out ROM's without even testing them just to get donations out of folks. Rarely do I run into an NRG ROM without issue. My point? Jackos Oldschool ROM = King!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Andr3Wcz:
Jackos, you should change your link to your rom! http://hotfile.com/dl/54980448/b597c70/Jackos_Oldschool_ROM_v1.3.7z.html
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcmiller:
Thanks Jackos !

I agree, I was getting to let my friend have my tilt 2 for shooting range target when your ROM came out (was serious letting him shoot it) This has all the tools I need and none of the at&t boatware, NRG is fine, I tried cookie sense ROM but it made my phone too slow and the OS was a hog. Now I can show my coworker a windows phone that destroys his precious little iphone (make sure not to use the death grip on it) I know a few other tilt 2 users here and will pass the ROM on to them.

my phone not boot up after update rom ver
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DebbieNY13:
WOO, HOO!

Got my device all ready with the proper RHODIMG.nbh files in the proper directories and root on my SD card, in order to flash, and just noticed a new version! :eek:

Thank you, thank you, f1ip! :D I would have been SO bummed if I couldn't DL the newer version here at work. (Shhhhh! ;))

See, Jackos? You *ARE* worthy!!!! :D

POST-FLASH EDIT:

So far, so good! Loving the clean look, but considering a little splash of color for the task bar and TF3D slider. I need to play with this thing more first, before I go messing with it and I have no idea what to do there. LOL! Um... In other words: CABs are my friend! (Hint, hint!) ;)

Reception is definitely diminished for me with the recommended radio. Will definitely be flashing the one I was using before (4.49.25.91) to see if it greatly improves.

A GIANT PLUS for me is that my old GPS software (Pharos Ostia) from my Blue Angel days *finally* displays correctly on the screen! Oh, happy days... I don't have to invest in newer software!!! :D

BTW, is there any way that I can add the weather panel to the home tab? I kinda miss that. :cool:

Jackos... I think I love you. :o

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] universil:
I never even knew!!

Hello Jacko :D

I have had my touch pro 2 about three weeks.

Rapidly read and learned to flash it, (suprisingly easy despite my fears), and to do Task 29, (was even more scared of this even though it is just as easy LOL).

I made a presumption that the best rom would probably be the most looked at one so have been dithering around in Nrg stuff since I got Tp2.

These roms look great and can be customised coz of cookie etc, but, and it is one hell of a BUT, they suck the living daylights out of the Tp2 so it feels like a shrivelling wreck that is about to die.

Today I thought I gotta look at the Jacko roms to see what all the fuss about rom usage really meant.After all Jacko is famous for his modest brilliance, and I have spent much time reading about how "unbloated" and fast his roms are.

I have read the whole of xda almost!!! LOL

But Jacko!!

I cannot see another rom that is supported as much as you support yours, and always polite and helpful too. I think you love your own roms too and who could blame you.

I cannot believe how fast and alive my touch pro 2 is now with your old school.

I swear it felt like a 90 year old with what was on it, and now with "oldschool" it is a young and sprightly teenager. It moves along no bother and for the first time I truly understand what FAST means. it's the ram isn't it? I never saw such a low number on my screen for ram usage. When fresh installed and nothing running i get 34% !!!!

Never even knew it could be so fast!!!

And whats wrong with it???

Nothing!!

I won't miss all the nice things that was on my last rom. Yeah they are all cool and nice to show, but when all is said and done, and you get used to the show, it's just functionality that we wan't.

It's like getting a gorgous woman, at first, thats enough...but in time it's not the packaging its the content. (though packaging is still relevant LOL).

Nothing wrong with how "oldschool" looks neither. Hell, I only messed about with eye candy coz I thought old school wouldn't look very nice.But it looks great. It's uncluttered and ohhhh so fast, and all nice and black :cool:

Ok, I have said enough.....nearly

But anyone who is thinking they need a new phone...DON'T!!!

First try Jacko's old school!!!

Finally i cannot thank you enough for all that you do for everyone that loves your roms and those to come that will love them.

You are helpful, funny and a joy to have as a support dude.

I might have even donated something had you needed a donation, (but I am Scottish and we are not renowned for donating LOL), so I decided to do a long thankyou and tell you....I love "old school".

Utterly brilliant.

Call Wait Volume Adjustment

Does anyone know the string to make the call waiting tone louder before going to voice mail.

I did some research with other ROMS and did this patch

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\CallWaiting\script

changed the value to av0pw3r

I used these values so it would vibrate and play the tone since I can"t hear the call waiting tone very well
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
I think it might be because of ATT/DeathStar because I get great reception and battery life with the recommended radio here in Bushwick Brooklyn NY. I am on Tmobile. I was going to recommend you stay on it till I saw your other post.

No thank you!! She is running fine, why do you tempt??:p

dont do it man:D

The whole pupose of flashing Jackos is to stop the flashing madness!!!!

Yeah, not to take anything away from NRG but its crazy on that thread sometimes...

agree:cool:

I heard he is a jerk(joke:o)!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
I remember reading the tech exchange between you two. what made you change your position Jacko? And more importantly, do you think its ok to have the higher pagepool now?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
No, I think it's still fine to run at 12MB pagepool. Didn't changed my mind.

The most important thing is that the more "heavy" rom you have the bigger the pagepool should be. I found my roms to run great at 12MB pagepool. However there are some exceptions, for example if you don't use other applications or you just don't need so much ram, feel free to change the pagepool to 20MB or whatever.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
I'm just not sure about the battery life to be honest :P But this is hard to "test". So the change is so small that I don't think this will matter at all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Right, just noticed this too :D Thanks for the information, told ya I'm no pro in uploading big files ;D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DebbieNY13:
I'm giving the recommended radio a chance. So far, it's not half bad! I'm currently in Brooklyn, too. Must have been my building's crappy reception. :p

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] freaknormel:
Same problem here :)

I have upgrade to radio version 4.49.25.91, because the signal with the recommended radio was very poor. With the new radio, the signal is much better, unfortunately the battery life is very bad :(

Also, when charging my phone, when it comes to 70% , it suddenly says 100%, and green led burns.. Can someone explain this please?

Last question.. at the rhodium settings screen, there is an option : make power best life times.. What does this check do ?

Thank you guys in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
I remember the exchange you and Jacko had about the pagepool and decided to do some testing, strictly using how fast text, mail and a few other highly used programs open up and found some interesting results.

The perceived speed of the 18 and 20 pagepool seemed to be the same, if not slower. At 24 the speed was noticeably faster. I became satisfied when I saw this and decided to stop there and not do any further testing as I became weary of setting up the device again. Autorun kept missing a few programs, besides, I preferred to have the device with the full customizations, i.e.: task-bar, font, notification bar, communication manager, slider, slider icons, before considering results, which is somewhat time consuming.

I know this is very subjective but think its some interesting info besides. The fresh-boot ram in all instances without touching anything was approximately 32 percent, original rom. At 18-20 pagepool usually 33 percent.

When I decided to take a deeper plunge, noticing in those two first instances that the phone "coasted" around 42 percent after opening and closing various programs, from small(mail, Quickmenu Options, nitrogen) to large(Opera Mini5, Opera, Google Maps) and touching every tab in TF3D, is when I noticed the significant(perceived) speed increase of the 24 MB pagepool. The phone, with this pagepool "coasts" at approximately 45 percent, same methods used.

To me, this is worth losing the 3 percent of ram in this already speedy, efficient, no rests necessary ROM:D The extra zip makes it that much more enjoyable to me.

Now if I could resist the temptation to flash the next release I would be Golden:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DADDYDC650:
Hmmm so 24 is the sweet spot huh? I'll have to try that on next release. Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mionica:
Well, I promised Jackos I wouldn't advocate pagepool changes publicly anymore. But this bit I can't abstain from: the Rhodium has 288MB RAM, so a pagepool of 24MB (as opposed to the default 12) would cost you (only) an extra 4.17% of RAM.

The reasoning is something I made public a while ago, either in this thread, or in the other. I didn't however do extensive pagepool values testing - I figured a few extra megs will do.

What you report would only make sense, in my theory, if there were some really large DLLs being loaded on demand. And I mean, hunderds of KBs of code in each.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, that might very well be the case.

Btw - any impressions on battery life, compared to the stock 12MB pagepool? I predicted increased battery life because of NAND data being read way less often - I'm curious if this checks (the RAM is powered on at all times, all of it, including portions not in use - so not having to read from flash would decrease power dissipation, since the flash's data lines are normally kept in high impedance with the pulldown resistors engaged, while not transferring data - so they draw next to no current).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] moSess:
Just my personal observation. Its the first ROM I loved enough to want to test, very worthy:D

Blame me!!!:rolleyes:

I will definitely give an update in two days about the battery. I figure by then it will have gotten a chance to stabilize since the last flash. If your predictions are correct they will have given even more battery life to an already, and for me unheard of with PPCs, almost 36 hour cycle.

Edit:

All this is a testament to Jacko, who I must say, is a damn good chef!!!

Since my Wing days I have been wanting some great full day battery. Music, browsing, mail, texting, calls... What a phone should be capable of, and make it through the day and better.

Also when writting sms, I can't highlight the words I want with my finger like in other wm6/wm6.5 roms - is there a way to switch back to the old highlighting way? Thanks.

The button mod is not ROM specific but a search for say, Rhodium Keyboard Controller, should make you very happy:)... search my friend

Also...

If you hit menu then select text, you should be able to highlight whatever you want.

I have excellent life with the recommended radio, sorry to hear:(. Test others. Time consuming, but the only recommendation I am sure you will find.

As far as the led thingy, when a problem is singular and no other member reports it, very rarely is it a ROM specific problem. More often user error. With that said, do the usual: MTTY, Re-flash, install programs slowely, check for conflicts.... The usual!:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Final5k:
Thanks for the tips, moSess - I've found a registry hack for the highlight text and the button mapping.

Ok got a problem on v1.3 oldschool - phone becomes very buggy/slow 3 times since yesterday when wifi was enabled, when I received a text message and after pushing the Power button. Had to reboot for the problem to disappear. Only installed Total Commander and tsowentaskbar3v1.4. Anyone got the same problem?
