Hi - the ROM looks promising, I may give it a try over the weekend! I love the idea of keeping it clean. I'd say if it can be installed via CAB, keep it out! And I love the stock look, too -- much easier to add the customizations you want, rather than to continually look for "back to stock" CABS like we need to do on so many other ROMS that are not skinned 100% the way we'd like.

Anyway -- regarding the IE message, perhaps it is trying to simply load the default home page as a local HTML file and not finding it in the windows folder? For example, I noticed in the ROM I am using it loads "windows/iemo6_default_0409.htm" as the home page -- perhaps this file (or whatever file this version of IE is looking for as it is configured) is missing from your ROM?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] vader165:
thanks for the reply, i have one last question before i flash this. is my phone included? if not, does anyone have a cab for it? i use it for all my contacts and things.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
That looks like the normal one to me, but I'm not exactly sure as I have a Tilt2. I'm trying to make the CAB now but can not find the original LayoutID. Do you know what it is? There are a couple other changes you need to make:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]

CWSLayout = 0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]

"07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt"

I need to know the LayoutID to make this cab though.

Yes it is.

htc messaging

The rom is nice and fast. The removal of the htc messaging really made me flash it, but it has the same issue if I remove it from the other sense 2.5/2011, you lose the notification on the bottom task bar when you receive a txt (count of unreads). Overall nice layout and fast rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
You mean the counter on the messaging tab? I don't use that tab, but I enabled it to check, and it still counts fine for me. Did you install any third party messaging programs that could interfere? I use Vito SMS-Chat and it doesn't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Silverexp:
Yes, messages tab no notification of new txt messages. Just sent several test. I have no 3rd party app link to sms/mms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
The counter on top of the messaging icon doesn't work for you? Very weired, never had this problem when disabling HTC Messaging Clien, even when I did used to use that tab.

Does this happen when you haven't installed anything at all?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Silverexp:
The top task bar has the notification, the bottom tab does not. Hope the pic helps :o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Very odd. Mine is working, it might be something you installed. Next time you flash a ROM and disable the Messaging Client (or if it is one of my ROMs with it disabled) try sending yourself a message to see if the notification works before installing anything else.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Silverexp:
Thanks... I'll try later tonight.

Could you add the ability to use AutoInstall by Tom Codon during flashing on your next release?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
I'll look into it, there are a lot of auto install methods!

My personal favorite is Sashimi, no need to configure any files, it just installs everything in the folders and can be run whenever you want.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Silverexp:
Thanks....

I use Sashimi too. On your 23529, does auto-install cabs to the card work? I few 23529 rom I tried wouldn't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Sorry, I'm not sure about that. I don't install things to the SD card, everything fits on internal storage for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thesecondsfade:
XDA_UC is the best in my opinion. Easy to utilize. You as a ROM chef can cook it to run on the first or second boot. All you have to do it place CABs, REGs, XMLs, etc. in Storage Card/XDA_UC and it silently installs all of them. You can even put some in Storage Card/XDA_UC/SD and it will open up the installation screen for you to choose to put them on the storage card. No SDConfig setup or anything like that. It's really seamless and easy kind of like SASHIMI, just cooked right in. That's my 2 cents.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bfgarzilla9k:
I too am having keyboard trouble with this rom. I absolutely love this rom besides that. Excellent work.

I'm using a T-Mo USA tp2. I tried the keyboard fix cab mentioned earlier, it didn't help anything.

I wouldn't think twice about sticking with this rom if I didn't have this keyboard problem. Great job on this, it's greatly appreciated. I just need some help with my keyboard!

I also can't get any weather to work on the home screen.. Just wondering if I should reflash or if anyone else has had this problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Did you soft reset after applying the T-Mobile cab? Also make sure to set CWSLayout to 0 at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]

If anyone knows what the LayoutID is for the original layout, it would really help!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zard:
Downloaded from MediaFire yesterday and this morning. Both downloads had CRC error after unzip. Didn't dare to flash it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Odd, I'm downloading it from there now to see if I have the same error.

I reuploaded it, it should work now.

And for those having trouble with setting their keyboard layout to the unbranded HTC, could you try deleting the DWORD LayoutID?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]

If anyone has figured out how, it would be very appreciated if you post it here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zard:
Yes, it is okay now. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thesecondsfade:
THIS will fix it if you can't get it to work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Whoever is trying to get the default keyboard layout to work, try installing this CAB, and if they doesn't work apply this .reg

I can not make a cab remove a registry entry, but the .reg can. The .reg removes LayoutID but otherwise does the same stuff as the .cab.

Please report back what you did and what works/doesn't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bfgarzilla9k:
that worked! thanks!

this is the perfect rom now.

Hey I have a question about a possible bug I found.

In Outlook, when looking at an email, the left soft key is usually the Reply button, and it was up until yesterday, but it seems like it changed to the Reply-To-All button. I noticed the change yesterday afternoon.

Is there a registry edit I can do or a setting I can change somewhere that changes it back to Reply instead of Reply-to-all? Do you know how that could have happened without my knowledge?

Edit: I found the solution...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"ShowReplyAllEmailSK1"=dword:00000000
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
What one worked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] thesecondsfade:
Widgets

Hey, the MSNWeather widget doesn't display anything. It just displays a blank white screen with "Exit" as the left soft key and "Menu" as the right soft key (with Exit as the only option within the menu). I even added my own copy of MSN Weather widget and it did the same thing. Is there something I can do to fix the widget problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
I'll look into that for the next release. I don't use Widgets so I didn't know.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jsmith8858:
Nice ROM! Running on a tilt2 here, I noticed that I could not get YouTube to play videos -- it would hang on "loading" forever. I had to install a YouTubeFix.cab found in these forums, and then it worked. However, the video plays very slowly and very choppy.

Is this just something I did to screw it up, or an issue with the ROM? Any thoughts or tips?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
I am having troubles with YouTube, too. I installed that cab and it didn't even fix the "This video cannot be played" error for me. I'm looking into it for the next release.

EDIT: I fixed it, it seems that some packages have to be the ones that came from your device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
New version posted!

I fixed various things. Check the changelog.

I also created a program that sets the keyboard layout using a Manila style interface! You can see a screenshot of it under the two large screenshots on the first post.

If it doesn't have your layout, set the original layout and then install your layout's CAB file.

Let me know how it works!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jsmith8858:
Hi -- just flashed your latest ROM, so far so good. YouTube playback is definitely much, much better. Manila is smooth and fast. I've installed my apps and still everything looks good. I'll have more feedback in a bit after using it for a while.

I love your philosophy and your approach here -- it is no nice to have a "first class" ROM with the stock look, there's so few good ROMS out there like this...it seems every Chef out there spends 85% of their time on graphics, themes, styling buttons + icons, modding manila, etc, and they don't spend enough time on producing a simple, clean, stable, quality "core" that users can style and add to as they see fit.

Keep up the great work!

latest mediafire download has crc error.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] rambo6:
Where'd you get the youtubefix.cab? I cannot seem to find it. I need it for another ROM. I'm going to try out this one too.

Thanks!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Badwolve1:
I will try this, it will be my first Cooked ROM for my new rhodium :D

Will report back when tested

What the heck is up with mediafire? Can you not use either rapidshare or hotfile?

I reuploaded it, try it now.

I have hated 2.5 roms until now :) woooo...almost as fast as 2.1 with no extra crap...love it :) and so far no errors...thank you very much :) my only suggestion to make this rom perfect is to add PIMBackup :) other then that love it and no problems so far :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Sorry, its a third party utility and someone else probably thinks it is crap (I don't, but I also don't use it).

It is easily installable via CAB file, so just put it in your auto setup routine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] azalex86:
I'm on AT&T, just installed this ROM and it's great except I'm having issues with GPS not acquiring any satellites.

I ran QuickGPS and downloaded the latest sats. Google maps is erroring out on trying to find satellites, so I grabbed GPSTest as well.

GPSTest is running COM4, Baud 4800, but it just sits there on GPS Starting Up, it never goes anywhere else.

Suggestions?

UPDATE: Nevermind, it's working now. If anyone else has issues, change Baud Rate to anything other than 4800 in GPSTest, save, and let it run for a few seconds, then change back to 4800. Dunno why this happened, but it works now. 8)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
I have tried TomTom, Google Maps, and Bing. With the latest AGPS settings and recent radio I get a GPS lock in about 10-15 seconds! I am constantly amazed every time I use it. I came from the Kaiser to the Raphael which both took AGES to get a GPS lock. I don't know what it was or maybe people hadn't figured out AGPS yet.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] azalex86:
Yeah it's going insanely fast now!

Now if I can figure out how to disable weather animation in the weather tab. I did the homescreen tweak, but can't find the tab registry entry anywhere. For some reason it lags the phone to death even after the S2007 driver tweaks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] azalex86:
So I found a strange bug on my device. I'm scrolling through the different weather animations on the device, and all of them run fantastic *except* Sunny.

As soon as the lens flare appears on my screen from that animation, the phone bogs down to incredibly slow speeds. For some reason, this single animation lags really bad. Are there replacement animations out there for this? It's a problem since I live in AZ, and 99% of the time it's sunny, lol.

UPDATE: Figured it out. Some other people were having issues too.

http://htcpedia.com/forum/showpost.php?p=25034&postcount=4805

Using the manila 2.1 sunny weather animation, it speeds it up a lot more. Still a tiny lag compared to the other animations, but no where near as bad as it is.

Place file inside your \Windows\ directory, overwrite existing file. Use something like Total Commander.

Downloading now. 12 mins more to go.

Sorry for the trouble with mediafire. I really appreciate you uploading to mediafire because this is the other site (and 4share) that I don't have difficulty downloading. Rapidshare, megaupload and hotfile are nightmare to me, when it comes to downloading. Most of the time, I depend very much on other's mirror.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zard:
Fully agree.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Nice! Putting this into the next release.

I'll hopefully get autoinstall support in there, too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zard:
Yes! Yes! It's downloaded and no CRC error anymore. Flashing now! Might not be able to feedback as soon as I wish as it's Chinese New Year today and leaving house soon to do the family and relatives' house visits.

Thank you for accomodating to re-uploading to mediafire.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nemo0405:
yea thats what i have done :) thank you i only suggested it because a majority of the people i know use it lol :) but .CAB works also thnkx :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ol2:
AGPS (i.e. cell triangulation with GPS turned off) takes 10-20 minutes for me on AT&T....I think I must have the wrong settings because it should only take a few seconds. Please could you post the "latest" AGPS settings you are using. Or are you using the default settings in this ROM? Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] zard:
Thanks, after installing all my cabs, everything seems to be working fine for me. Not able to get HSDPA signal now, maybe a location poor reception issue. Trying to get threaded email working from my spb backup restore.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
I made the ROM, and yes I have the AT&T AGPS settings in by default.

I don't quite get your question. You seem to be confused as to what AGPS is. AGPS

ONLY

helps getting a GPS lock faster. Once you have a lock, it acts just like a normal GPS receiver. Cell triangulation doesn't rely on GPS at all.

Having just flashed the ROM and letting the auto data configuration run, I can load Google Maps and get a GPS lock in about 15 seconds. This is using AGPS to help getting the lock faster.

If I do the cell triangulation in Google Maps in the Sense weather, it is nearly instant but only gets my location within a mile or so.

You aren't in a building are you?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GaryMcQ:
During the short period of time I have got this ROM to run properly, I really am encouraged by it. Then, I start loading all of the software and programs I use, and something keeps locking it down. I am on my 4th rebuild so far since about 8 PM tonight. If it didn't look so promising, I would have given up on it long ago. I think I have narrowed the problem down to the Cookie Home Tab ver 1.5. This last time I had it almost al the way to where I wanted it, then I installed the Cookie Home tab, rebooted, and it crashed again. . .
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Try installing it first. Did you check to see if it supports this version of Sense? 2011.2812?

I don't use that but I went to its thread and it seems that a new one JUST came out fixing a crash on startup. Do you have version 1.5.4?

That addon looks very interesting. I'm going to try it out next time I flash.

Don't worry though, I will not be including it in the ROM.

There are SO many versions of Sense now. I like 2011.2812 because it is from the HD2 and has a smaller font size than 2011.3030 (made for the Topaz's small screen).

I have yet to try 2012.1225, I will be experimenting with that. If it has the same font size as the ones from the HD2 then I will probably switch to it as it was made for the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GaryMcQ:
As much as I hate to give up, I guess I'm going to have to. It just locked down for the 5th time. This time after only re-installing about 3 applications, one of which required a reboot, it never came back to life.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Which three? That is too bad though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Badwolve1:
Finally, a good download
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GaryMcQ:
Thanks for the reply Petard. I have version 1.5, but just now downloaded the version 1.5.4. I may have caused this problem myself though. I too downloaded your ROM and got the CRC error message when unzipping it. For some stupid reason, I went ahead and tried to install it anyway, and the flash stopped at 76% complete and wouldn't go any further. I finally had to do a hard reset to get it to move on. Is there any way I could have caused some permanent corruption in areas of my phone's storage/memory, where all flashes, even with good ROMs, would fail from now on? I'm thinking I may have to return the phone to AT&T for a replacement. I like what I see in your ROM well enough that I am going to flash back to the stock/original ROM (I can't stay with it though because it is very painful to look at after having the newer ROMs on my phone), then I will reflash your ROM, do a clear storage, and hopefully remove all remnants of trouble, and give this one more honest effort. Once again, thanks for the personal attention you have given those of us who have encountered various problems. One other question. Do you have any recommendations on which radio would be best for AT&T in the W Texas area?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] vader165:
do we know if the e reader works correctly on the resistive screen? that would be an amazing plus.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
The flash stopped midway and it still booted? I didn't know that was possible. I really have no clue if that causes damage, I wouldn't think so because the same data gets overwritten every time you flash. I don't understand why Mediafire keeps corrupting the file.

What extractor do you all use that lets you keep the file even after the CRC error? I use WinRAR and it instantly deletes the file once it has the CRC error. I am going to download anything I upload to mediafire and test it before posting the link from now on.

As for the radio, I currently use 4.49.25.57, but not for any particular reason. It was just the latest when I flashed it and I haven't flashed it since. Its working well enough for me.

Sorry, no clue. I don't have any eBooks or Borders account to test it. It should work fine as long as you can zoom without multi-touch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] vader165:
i have several books, but i can't swipe to switch the page. it's buggy at best. perhaps a new rom or some fix will help. or maybe i'm doing it wrong...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GaryMcQ:
Thanks again Petard. I used 7-Zip to extract the file, and even though it popped a CRC error up there, it still allowed a folder to be created, with the file in it. Actually, this is my wife's phone, and after doing everything I told you in the earlier post I was going to do, it has been working fine since. She actually preferred to NOT having the Cookie Home Tab on her phone and all seems well without it - so far. I'm holding my breath. She is very demanding of her Tilt 2 and expects it to work right every time. I have the Cookie Home Tab on my Touch Pro2 Verizon phone and it has not given me any problems on it with EnergyROM. However, I took your information about a later version and updated mine before it could cause a crash on it too. Hopefully that version of C H Tab was the problem all along. And yes, she does seem to like your ROM very much.

One correction you could make on the hardware keyboard is to change the mapping on the internet/down arrow key to stop attempting to open Opera, since it's not even on the phone. She would prefer it to simply be a down arrow, as if the function key is not active. I'll probably attempt that mapping myself. I really appreciate your patience with me through this dilemma and also thanks for not becoming defensive as I was reporting problems I was having. I never meant for it to sound as though I was blaming your ROM work for my self induced problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
You can install Rhodium Keyboard Control. It lets you completely customize your button mappings. For instance I have set Fn+X to be CTRL+X, Fn+C to be CTRL+C, and Fn+V to be CTRL+V so I have cut, copy, and paste!

You should be able to map Fn+Down to be Down.

It also lets you export your settings so you can easily import them. It also stores the mappings in the registry so if you use an auto setup routine you can just have it import those registry entries.

That's what I do. I can flash a ROM, run Sashimi, and be back to exactly how I had it in 30 minutes. I have exported ALL my settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ol2:
Thanks. I am confused on the specifics. The GPS part is working fine. The problem I have is with the cell triangulation. I am trying to get this to work with your ROM, on AT&T with radio 4.49.25.91. If I start Google maps it takes up to 30 minutes to get my approximate location (i.e. with GPS turned off). I believe this is using cell triangulation which should be very fast. Not sure what the problem is. If I put my SIM in another phone, Google maps finds my approx location in about a second. Any thoughts?

Great looking ROM btw.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Have you tried it in Bing or the weather tab in Manila? It shouldn't take that long. You can also try a different radio.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ol2:
Yep. location in Bing etc doesn't work quickly either. Tried 5 different radios also...no luck. Eventually I found a workaround. If I switch to GSM/Edge location (via cell triangulation) works flawlessly. If I switch back to 3G or Auto, it stops working properly again. No idea why this is, but I don't think it has anything to do with your ROM although I never tested this before I flashed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] petard:
Yeah I would try another ROM and see if that is the case there, too.

It could be an area-specific thing and/or a temporary glitch with the system.

It works for me without changing anything in the ROM.
