To be honest, I'm glad you made this mistake. I like the Windows mobile default much better.

Perhaps it would be better to not bake this into your ROM but to let users decide whether they want the iPhone look, or not. In other words, perhaps you could just put the .cab file on the 1st page (assuming that this .cab file exists).

When I go to contacts (main screen) I can't find any of my contacts, I've had te same with esperos 28205.

Now using 23534 from af974: no problems there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
will do

i will post a cab on first post with next release for the users who like it & cook the rom without it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
did you restore your outlook contacts

if you are talking about the contacts on the SIM card..they are hidden

you can either see them by editing the registry...or by using SIM manager application to copy them to outlook contacts
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Takiyon:
I just got a BSOD but it took lik 2 days. Damn...

EDIT: Sorry V2 Will upgrade now to V3
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
with V2? or V3? .. i didnt get any with V3 yet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
CAB link for iPhone style SMS chat graphics is now in first post
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RubberShrapnel:
I just got BSOD with V3. Only had it once today so far.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Takiyon:
I was just gonna upgrade to V3 but I see someone else got a BSOD. What is the deal with this build. Is it the build or something else?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RubberShrapnel:
Make that twice. Just saw the BSOD again. I've also noticed that my phone speaker works intermittently(have to use the speakerphone to make or receive calls). Maybe the hardware is failing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
I don't have any BSOD issues with this ROM. About your phone speaker issue, to me, it looks like you should try and flash a different RADIO ROM. I don't think it's related to ahmedfikry's ROM. And yes, maybe it's hardware related.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
I can imagine you can't see your contacts with your 28205 espresso machine. :D

In my opinion, it's best to always have "Outlook contacts", instead of "SIM contacts". You will be able to story MUCH more information per contact. Also, you can easily back them up and restore them using PIM backup. And, in case you change your phone, you can still export these Outlook contacts to your SIM card, if necessary. Works a charm! Just a suggestion of mine. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Avatiach:
After one day of moderate use of V3 no BSOD for me yet, so seems promising!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
it is the build

the leaked files had the problem

in V3, i got the build files directly from a different source, which is a dumped rom and it was reported by other chiefs to fix the problem

so far i did not get the black screen...but if others got it, then just use 23530 for now & hopefully the next leak will be without bugs
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
I found out, that if you hold down the "V" icon, the icon responses. The same goes for the Windows flag icon, which I also have to hold down to get to the Start menu. That, I mentioned before.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
It must have been the soft reset that did the trick. I just switched back to the default theme again and did a soft reset. After that, the ROM still is as fast as hell.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] RubberShrapnel:
I've confirmed that my Tilt's issues are hardware related. It seems that the ribbon cable to the top (sliding) half of the phone is starting to exhibit flaky behavior. Last night I noticed that my screen was going black when I would slide open the keyboard. Now the touch screen is intermittently failing as well. In fact, I can't get it to work at all at the moment, and if I tilt the screen, all goes black.

Bummer. I've had this phone for a long time. This is by far the best ROM I've ever had on it. How ironic that the hardware would start failing.

:)

I'd take my feedback on the ROM with a grain of salt. My phone is no longer reliable.

So let me just take this opportunity again to say(based on when my phone was working): what an awesome ROM it is!

Excellent work again, Ahmed!

Battery

My battery life on this update is horibble, 15% an hour drain. i didnt have this problem on the previous build, is anyone else having an issue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
Is your right-side LED blinking, about half as often as the phone LED on the left? Is the unit warm on the back? It could be your GPS is toggled on, and that would drain power rather quickly. I had that happen last night using 23529, got stuck with GPS on for some reason. Trying to turn it off in Google Maps didn't work, though the menu seemed to indicate it was then off. A soft reset fixed it. My Kaiser went from 100% charge to 61% in a couple of hours, with only about 15 minutes of use. Since then it's only dropped 10%, in about 11 hours with only about 10 minutes of use, now at 51%.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rckhndphil:
battery

no my gps is off, but on another note my phone wont sleep either, i push the power button to turn of the screen and five seconds later it comes back on
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] starblazer13:
No BSOD for 30 hours now. Great ROM!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
Well now, that's the source of your power drain, or the symptom of something causing it anyway. The root cause is of course a mystery, until you find it. I'd suggest a manual rebuild from a from-scratch flash, testing suspend after installing each app, after making each system tweak, until you figure out which element is causing your phone to wake up all the time. Could be quite time consuming to figure that out. But if you focus on apps and system tweaks which seem likely suspects, like auto-polling a mail account or an Exchange server, or perhaps your Weather plugin settings, then it might narrow things down a little. Of course you can also look into each of these sorts of radio and power related items without doing a rebuild. Building up from scratch is just the more pure approach, but it's often possible to figure such things out by just looking around at one's settings for a while.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rckhndphil:
battery

well its wierd because i just flashed this rom this morning and have done no configuration to it as of yet
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
That is weird. Still, I'd recommend going through all your power, backlight, and various radio related settings, just to see if there isn't something set to check for something every once in a while or some default setting which isn't what it's supposed to be. Don't know how such a thing could slip into a fresh ROM flash, but strange things do happen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mr. Clown:
Have you checked your battery settings?. Are U using the recommended radio and hardspl?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Kenouno:
No BSOD with V3... 48 hours, 24 on heavy usage and 24 with very low usage. Everything working like a charm..! Thumbs Up..!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Baerbs:
Flashed on Thursday morning and had one BSOD while charging, after that no BSOD at all.

Also no Unusual battery drainage.

The G symbol is still not there if only GPRS is available, but I think it is still connected.

And I have one more question: Is it normal that the screen goes on when recieving a textmessage? And is there a way to turn that off?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
black screen / failure to wakeup from sleep mode did not happen to me with V3 at all ... but two users report that i happened (much less frequently) usually with connection to active sync or charger...

so, i have been working on one final fix....& i think it will be completely gone with 23534 V4..which i will be releasing soon

also, for the users reporting issues with the taskbar icons (GPRS, Bluetooth..etc), i think it is coming from the package that modifiys how the battery icons look (percentage / green full / plug chargeing)...i will cook without this package & just have the regular MS battery icons...i will test to see if that takes care og that issue as well ...downside, it will not be "pretty" colored graphics, but i really care about function more.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
some cheifs report that arkswitch (task switch manager) is maybe behind the black screen & the freezing issue

remove the application for now...untill i release V4 that works fine even when arkswitch is installed

but I am also cooking a new leaked build now, 23540 ...so if it is good after testing I may release 23540 & there will be no need for 23534 anymore
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] UrbanRider:
do you recomend other task manager?

been usig 23534 for a few days and i'm really like it.

btw

Anyway to get videocalls on 6.5.3?

As long as i know 3g dialers dont work correct on 6.5.3
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
i am using AMeBa now & its actually working well...need more test time to make sure it will not cause any conflicts

as for video calls, i hate to say i have no clue...i never use that feature, dont have the service or a dialer for it...google or search here on XDA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
While I've used the two most recent ROMs here on my Kaiser and had no BSOD problems, with ArkSwitch apparently working just fine, this task manager/switcher stuff reminds me yet again how deeply I miss GigaBar. Gene Knight's opus stopped working with VGA screens and WM5, but hey, before that, nothing came close in terms of speed, efficiency, or multiplicity of uses. Nowhere near it. And nothing since has come so close as WisBar Advanced, which is still rather weak in comparison and too prone to bugs (I've had to hard reset thanks to choosing the wrong options here and there in WisBar, so don't risk using it any more). GigaBar offered more or less icons in the upper bar per user preference, and the icons weren't mere images, they offered information in themselves such as battery life, memory availability, volume state, all sorts of good stuff. And with gestural taps on those icons also being fully configurable, one could make a tap-left become 'open Pocket IE' or 'go to Today' or just about anything. Any icon could have a 'close program' function, or be used for copy/cut/paste functions in text editors or file managers. The practical uses of those few small pixels were enormous, and no two installations were alike thanks to user customization. Fully skinnable with user-editable skin files, heck, I could even make my own icon sets if I wanted, or edit the existing images.

But that's all gone. Along with it, gone is GigaPad, the most configurable, usable notepad ever released for the platform. All gone mysteriously, when Gene stopped responding in forums and to email, and GigaBar faded away.

I've tried many, many task managers before those days and since. For compact simplicity there's MyTools, a really clever little app with a few handy embedded tools, like a mini-calculator and a multi-page scribble pad. Switching and closing apps with MyTools is dead easy. Last time I checked it worked with WM6.1, but haven't tried it lately:

thanks you gerardsamija & gooe2004

rom download link in first post is now updated

latest now is 23540

super fast :) ...

no need to work on V4 for 23534 anymore, as the new leak has no black screen issues - all fixed now

Note: when i cooked this rom, i did not include the colored battery percentage icons....some users reported some issues with GPRS...so i am trying to see if that cooked package was the reason...I do not use GPRS, so if you do,,test this rom & please report back if the icons that you were looking for work now

enjoy
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
You almost made me cry. ;) I'll have a look at MyTools and that other page you're referring to. Always curious to know what's out there. Thanx!

And, ahmedfikry, although I'm totally happy with 23534 v3, I will have a go at 23540. I'll report back to you about this one (except for GPRS/HSDPA, since I don't use that, either).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
NEW XDA_UC file?

Hi ahmedfikry, do you update the NEW XDA_UC file every time you make a new ROM? I can't tell.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
no XDA_UC has been the same

when i update it i will post a separate note here at the end to let everyone know it changed....and i will put the date next to it next time
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
Just checked MyTools, the ARM/PPC2003 version, and it works okay with ahmedfikry's ROM on my device. Not terribly pretty, but that's thanks to the text of whichever window is on top being displayed behind it, making the tiny icons somewhat difficult to read.

Sorry for the sentimentalism. I just really enjoyed GigaBar.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] linuxfreak:
I just upgraded my phone from the stock rom to 23534 v3 (couldn't find a link yet to a later version but read that a newer version will be posted soon).

Question : What happened to MSN ? Did that disappear in WM6.5 or is it removed in this cooked rom? (Can i reinstall it somehow?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ledenjes:
You mean, your 23540 v2 ROM is about to be replaced, too? I just found it at 4shared.com. But you're saying, I believe, we'd better wait 'till your next ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
yes, i uploaded V2 but removed the link & will post another very soon

it had a connection bug with active sync & contact details were disappearing

I found a fix but also doing few other tweaks

i will upload & post a note soon
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ahmedfikry:
i remove it when i cook

i keep my roms light....

and since email allows you now to setup your MSN & i added Parlingo to my XDA_UC folder where you can chat...it became useless

and if you want MSN you can install it by a CAB

just google or search here on XDA

Hi ahmedfikry,

I've download the "bugged" V2 ...

I'm coming from WM 6.1 and I regret that it miss the start menu bar on the left top of today page !

COuld you please help me to install ???

Thank
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
With WM6.5.3 there is no Start icon on the top-left corner. Microsoft chose to move it to the bottom-left and to make it a bit bigger, for easy use with a thumb when held in the left hand. This has nothing to do with ahmedfikry's work. If you want the Start Menu icon on the top-left, my suggestion would be to flash an older ROM, perhaps WM6.5.

Great Clean ROM

@Ahmedfikry great work on this gem. Bottom Taskbar Icons are very Nice and it runs extremely smooth for me.

[ROM] ahmedfikry 23540 V2

A Quick Question I realy like the QuickMenu to close Applications and Switch between them. See Picture. Would there be interesst to add it to the UC? Maybe with a nice ahmedfikry Start Button Top Left?

Thanks for the Great Work. A ahmedfikry Designed CAB or Build with a nice Manila/TouchFlo Interface would be great. But I will stay with your Builds for now anyway just because I love the details on the Buttons. ;) Oh yeah it also runs great.

Now where is that Donation Button.... hmmm oh there it is :D

23540 rom V3 is uploaded

fixed contacts details, active sync & black screen issues

now all should be working well and all issues done

I had to remove the sim manager because it was causing a conflict & was the reason for contact details issue

but i have some work around,,, I tweaked a CAB for it, so you can still have the sim manager but using it as a cab & that will not mess up the contacts & they will show details as supposed to .....link to sim manager cab is now in first post too

this is even better since it keeps the rom light as i dont have to include it in cooking :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] daigoro64:
Completely agreed.

I like very much your way to think about what a ROM should be (more or less like a standard o.s. with a package repository available "on necessity").

Thanks again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
The only problems I've been seeing with these past few ROMs are these:

- On first use, after UC installs (I use only about 10 of those in the folder, deleting most of the bigger ones and components I don't ever use), I find that screen alignment is WAY off. It seems to be about 1.5cm to the right and a bit up from where it should be. I can navigate to Settings after a bit of stabbing around, trying to actually hit the Start icon. After that it's just cursorpad and centre button to get to the Screen Align button and then of course it's all fine once aligned. But this happens with each of your ROMs, and I've not seen it with another couple of ROMs (original Rogers test ROM, Shifu's), so it must be a compatibility problem with yours. Anyone else having this little problem?

- I've not yet gone into it with this latest version, but have a lot of difficulties getting the Data button in CommMgr to work with Rogers and my data plan. I first let the phone do its thing with Rogers and auto-configure the connections. It sets up goam.com and internet.com in connections, and it all seems to work... except that the Data connection button in CommMgr takes me to the connections setup/manage area in Settings > Connections. Shifu's last ROM from December let me toggle the data connection from there. Same with my previous phone, and HTC Touch Elfin, and dsixda's ROMs. So it seems to be a problem with CommMgr in your ROM series.

Otherwise I don't remember seeing any problems which could be traced directly to your stuff. Generally very speedy and wonderful, thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] linuxfreak:
Given the speed of the updates (not complaining about that :D) would be curious to know if there is any way to quickly backup and restore the settings of the phone (Passwords to Wireless Networks, Bluetooth paired devices, E-mail settings like for each account credentials like login and passwords) etc.

The e-mail messages themselves are not that important for me, i use IMAP anyways.

Thanks for any hints / tips :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] GerardSamija:
It is possible, and I'm sure some freaks out there do it (freaks in a nice way), to find the relevant registry keys for such information, export it (Resco Explorer's registry editor is great for exporting and importing REG files), and just dump those files into the UC folder on the microSD before flashing. For many things this would be idea, saving all those wasted hours of remembering and inputting all that personal config stuff. But I haven't the focus to do that properly, so instead I just install my CABs, register apps where needed from one of my many copies of my registration data TXT file, then get on with setting everything else up. Lots of fun. not. Still, one learns things in doing them the slow way.

Battery icon issues

Excellent ROM, working great on my TyTN II so far with a single problem: the battery icon (in the upper right part of the screen) isn't updated with the actual battery status. It either stays at 100% all the time, or the charging indication remains stuck even after I remove the charger. Is it possible that this is a radio version issue? I currently have 1.65.16.25, which is probably a bit old.

EDIT: HardSPL 3.56, in case this matters.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Baerbs:
Here is a tutorial for some of those things. If you search for email uc (or something like that) you can find some

other threads like that.

I have a .reg files in my XDA_UC folder that are supposed to fix my keyboard (switch the z and y button, and make the äöü available) and two .xml files wich are for Owner Information (you know, name, email, phone and the lot...) and my email account.

The keyboard and the email account work. But the Owner Information won't stuck... at least after the last flash it didn't.

And now I'm off to flash the 23540 V3 :-)
