Could you think about adding more category folders to the start menu such as:

Games, Travel, Internet, Audio, Video, Imagery, Office, System, Fun, Applications, Tools etc.

We could always delete the folders we dont want from the windows start menu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, that's another thing I was considering doing when I redo the icons...maybe make more folders to break down the categories...:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
Brilliant! Yes more uniform hi-res icons throughout like Dutty did to his roms. All sqaure based icons would be cool.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, I'm really not sure which icons to use...what do you guys prefer square ones, which seem to be the most common at the moment? Or others? I'm open to some suggestions....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Hi!

Quick question: have you completed your testing of extendir? What was the outcome? Will you include it? Looks pretty cool...

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, I had a bit of a play with it, but won't be including it for now...too many issues with it...needs more work for me to get it into the ROM, and I don't have the time at the moment.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:

They are just beautiful.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
I actually think these are better http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591754

the previous one i suggested really depends on the background you use as they are clear icons.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
The clear background seems less dependent on background, doesn't it? Since they are translucent, whereas the others actually do seem to be more impacted by background choice, IMO.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I don't know if I want to change all the start menu icons, or just the folder icons for now.

Trouble with changing all icons is that when you install other programs later, these icons stand out and look bad compared to the others.

Anyone looking for default Windows Mobile ringtones, here's a cab: http://www.4shared.com/file/242951399/14cd932c/Ringtones.html

I've got an issue using My Phone after using this ROM from stock 1.48

It's synced my contacts and messages... I can see all 3000 messages (im a horder) in 'traditional view' even though it takes a few seconds to go up - but that's my fault for the amount of messages...

But the threaded view, I only see messages from 5 people, it shows all of their messages... but not from everyone.

I've also noticed that the device name has changed, so My Phone is showing 2 HD2's...

see screenshot
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, it will be seen as a new phone since it's a new ROM...

I'm not sure why not all of your threaded messages show up...can't think why that would happen...:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
I think you are right, just change the folder icons and make some new folders too. Make lota of categories and leave it to us to delete what we don't want from the windows/start menu/programs directory.

Hi all,

and MAJOR compliments to the chef:D

I have to tell you i am most frustrated that I havent managed to get this flashing right.

Ive tried mtty from xp, followed advise to the t, and everything goes according to plan until I flash Ive read pretty much every post here. Ive really tried it over 10 times. I have flashed stock 1.66 no prob. This is my first cooked like many here who have been inspired to try out scotties as a first. Got hspl.

Tried flashing radio first 207, no problem then the cooked rom>> nothing. then flashed stock 1.66 rom no problem. then again tried the cooked rom (latest) and the previous rom shows up, and nothing has loaded. Damn I hate ask for such elementary advice when everyone is having no prob. But at this point I just cant wax it. Any see anything obviously wrong in my process. Sorry for this.

Thanks, so eager now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hey :)

When you say "Tried flashing radio first 207, no problem then the cooked rom>> nothing", what do you mean by nothing? What does it do? Does it get stuck on the boot screen?

Did you confirm the 2.07 radio is flashed ok? Does it say 2.07 radio on the boot screen in the bottom corner?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
@ Scotsman

Yes stuck on the white screen, no sign in the bottom left what rom or radio it is.

I just cant figure what I am doing wrong. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Radio flashed fine, changes reflected. Did that first in anticipation.

The utility always goes the whole way, only I was quite surprised how quick your gourmet ozrom took, compared to say 1.66.

:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Maybe try flashing back to a stock ROM, then flash another 2.07 or 2.08 radio, then flash the ROM again...it works ok for everyone else so you must have done something wrong or have a wrong radio.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Yea, I have no doubt it is not the cooked rom. I Have flashed back to stock now the 207 radio is on. In will try with a 208. Thanks:(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Oh ok, hold on a sekkie, I have just noted that it (the custom ruu rom loader) kept on loading the radio rom even though i was clicking on the cooked rom. deleted the radio from the same directory and wallah! now yours has loaded. Weird, but wonderful ;). Now I get to sample the gourmet skill of our new master.

So far luvin it.

Hi!

Remember the problem with the "vibrate during meetings" settings?

Not sure whether this can help, but I thought I would tell you anyway...

I now have v1.32 installed, and it doesn't work either... and I'm pretty sure it used to work with 1.30... so it must have been broken somewhere between the two. Did you ever manage to find a fix for this problem on 6.5?

Thank you!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
You need to flash a 2.07 or 2.08 radio BEFORE flashing this ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] adrianlondon:
The radio that comes with ozrom 1.50 is 2.06xx

Are you sure about this?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Hi!

After a lot of experimenting around (including betraying you with a number of other chefs... ;)), I've come to the following conclusions:

I like your ROM better than the other ones I've checked;

all the radios supported by your ROM have a persistent static background noise.

I live in the UK, and every time I've tried to install a EU radio ("51" series) - using ROMs that supported them - I didn't experience any background noise at all... Unfortunately, only "50" series radios are supported by your ROMs.

Now my question... I would be quite happy to give up the additional RAM in return for the possibility of installing a "51" series ROM... Does the whole ROM have to be based on an EU rom (i.e. 1.72) in order to enable the EU radios, or is that something that can be achieved by a cab to be installed on top of your ROMs? If that's the case, it would help a lot if you could produce such a cab... is that something you could do?

Thank you very much for your attention and your help... :)

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
NEW ROM

Thanks Scotty.

Finally it's coming :D:D

Can't wait ..........

A favour to ask, would you please provide the .cab for the 3G Switch in the COMM because I need to turn off 3G when I'm in the office (the 3G signal is such when I'm working). Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
It was actually uploaded, but I spotted a small problem so I pulled it at the last minute :P

Should be up again in an hour or so :)

I'll get a cab made today to add the 3G switch again ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmmm I'll look into this as a priority...:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
I agree. I can't be sure but I think I read somewhere that if you leave out the "memory increase" package then you can get the rom to boot with 51 series radios?

Personally I don't think the larger memory is a must have thing - but each to their own. I have battery and call quality issues with the 50 series radios and that is the only reason I can't use these roms at the moment.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, reading the radio thread it looks to be the case...might have to have a play around with non RAM increase ROM base...I'd prefer clearer calls over extra RAM that I never use.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
Attached is a cab for the 3g option in comm manager. Credit to Smaberg and his great collection of tweaks:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
Verry cool. Cant wait to get back into these roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I haven't tested that cab on my ROM...this may work, but it may also overwrite another slider...it depends how it has been done.

If it does overwrite one of the other sliders let me know and I'll make my own cab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Indeed. Have a look here, changelog dated 18/03 (I hope it's not inappropriate...). From what he writes, looks like removing the "576mb patch" - whatever that is - does the trick. He does mention "new base", though...

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
I think I tested it on one of your earlier roms but yeah you may be right. Sorry if it causes any issues.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Yea, that's what I plan to do :)

No worries...it won't break anything...it worth trying!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hpacura:
Thanks for the finding pablo11

Will give a try when the rom is up. Thanks.

Edit: the 3G Switch .cab WORKS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
New ROM now available!

Check the changelog to see all new changes :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
Sorry if I missed this - did you remove the memory patch?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Nope...if I did it would be in the changelog :)

It's something I'm going to test and if it still performs well I will change it for the next release...no one needs so much memory...and with it removed call quality is much better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pablo11:
Ok. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mrdec:
Thanks a lot Scotty.

Your rom has literally made the device operate how it was designed too.

Smooth and stable and workable.

Your attitude is very helpful and I am sure most of us appreciate that heaps.

Hi, Im sure this is probably an app issue,

I like the new PIM, but I have an old PIM file (2007) that I used successfully to restore my contacts a few months back when the hd2 came out. Ive tried loading the old pim from sd just to get the data back on, but it gets halfway through and doesnt upload any contacts.

If I cant get it right I will have to boot up my old universal and manually enter each (of the +-250)entry:eek: lots of room for error.

Any input from your side?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm...not sure why it doesn't work. I've never had a problem using it.

Maybe try another copy of PIM Backup...install a cab from dotfred.net just in case there is a problem with the built in one.

Thanks I will do, and revert.

Does the "Disable Landscape Support.cab" just disable landscape in Manila or in all applications like Opera,...?

Where do all these new builts come from? Does HTC publis them? - Just curious...

I think Java should work fine with Opera.

No hard key assigned to VC, you can assign it to send key using settings > personal > buttons.

Java

1.6 all smooth so far so good, but so was 1.5! Will try skype out later,Opera working great. Just a shame I cant get on to my banking site. It uses Java applets (1.3) and a digital certificate if you want to authorize a transaction.

At least with Skyfire I could log in in and view account details, but crappy GUI. Opera loads new window and gets stuck on white screen after security input.

Its a great pity. Im not sure if its because the site sees the device as a mobile. There used to be a setting in opera a while back that allowed the site to view the mobile as a desktop.

Any Ideas, Can Jblend have any role ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:

if you click on the site and you shall see the java applet (cup and saucer logo as timer) also your icons at the bottom left of the screen will reflect a mini JAVA Icon.

Outstanding! I've been hunting high and low for a decent ROM

without

the 576 RAM hack - the required radio to enable that hack is terrible for UK Vodafone users and I can't say the drop in call quality is worth the extra RAM.

Will I be able to run this ROM with the latest stock Vodafone UK radio?

Cheers for your efforts!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hey...yea, the new ROM will work fine over there on Vodafone UK ;)

I'll be releasing a test ROM in a few hours :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
New Test ROM V1.99 is now available!

4Shared

Rapidshare

ROM base is now 1.72

576MB hack is removed

New start menu icons from Dinik

Better Task Manager in Start > Tools

Quite a few performance tweaks

I suggest using radio 2.09.51.03_2

This is not a final release. I would like you to test it for a few days to give you time to check out the new stuff, check battery life etc, and report back any problems you come across. Then after a few days I'll update to version 2.00 with more extras

P.S. The start menu icons are only changed for the top level folders. Icons are available for all submenus...but I'm unsure if I should use them too...because if you install your own applications later, they will still have standard icons and won't match diniks beautiful ones...so please give me your opinion as to whether I should include them
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mindcandy:
Downloading now.

I'm reluctant to try radio 2.09 again (tried it before with a Miri ROM as part of my hunt for improved call quality but my phone refused to boot) so I'll be sticking to the stock 2.06 for the moment. I'm pretty busy today but I'll try and get back to you with some feedback tonight once I've flashed the test ROM and had a chance to play :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
I vote yes. You should use them because installing the extra icons later is easy and worth the effort.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
your phone did not boot because the radio is not compatible with Miri ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Der_Broker:
I suggest you include all icons but you change/ install only top level icons.

In addition you could include a tool like CSMI...

I support your point - I hate having icons that obviously do not match!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Some feedback

Hi!

I have installed OzROM v1.99 and I like it. I can already say with absolute certainty that the call quality is much better, will let you know about battery life later on, but that has never been an issue to me. I mean, WiFi drains like hell, as it always did, but for everything else it's fine.

Re: icons... I think no matter how may folders you put in the start menu page, there will always be something which will not fit in any of them, for which people will either create a new folder or leave the icon on the main page. In both cases, the aesthetics of the start menu is going to be affected anyway. So I would say: don't worry too much about it... add whatever icon Dinik is currently providing, both on the main page and at any level below, and maybe add an icon changer tool like the one here, so people can customise the icons for the applications they install.

Re: BsB Tweaks: are you 100% sure that none of your tweaks can be overwritten by any BsB setting? If that is the case, I would consider removing the tool.

Re: WM build 21897: I have had a couple of system hangs while browsing and editing contacts from the WM contacts application (not Manila). Never happened before with any of your ROMs. Has anybody else seen this?

Will let you know more...

Thank you! :-)

ccristal

UPDATE: after a whole day of playing with it, my conclusion is that it's a lot less "snappy" than your previous ones... I thought it was a bad flash at first, so I reflashed it, but the feeling is the same. Did you leave out from this test release any performance improvement that was normally included in your previous final ROMs?

UPDATE: still no luck for Settings->Sounds and display->Automatic (set to vibrate during appointments).

UPDATE: a suggestion popup is showing up when I type using any keyboard. That's the first time I see it... is it deliberate? How can I turn it off?

UPDATE: there's something wrong with Swype... Sometimes neither swiping nor typing produces any effect. I have to switch to one of the default keyboards to be able to type. This is not consistent and not easily reproduceable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mindcandy:
Been using it for a few hours and had a couple of hangs which have required a reset. It's not really enough to make any solid observations but generally speaking I like it.

I have installed BG4All and Co0kies Home Tab mod as well as S2U2 any of which might be the cause of my hangs I suppose. I'll see how it goes tonight and report back tomorrow.

As for call quality I flashed the ROM and tried 2.06 which turned out to be horrible. I upgraded to 2.09 as you suggest and the quality was definately better. Still some obvious distortion and crackles though sadly.

I quite like the new icons in the start menu.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Der_Broker:
Hey,

I installed and tried V1.60 today and I am amazed!!!

Great job Scotsman! It is running fast, stable and smoothy!!

There is just one little issue that seems to persist - the 3G connecitivity.

I am not an expert on that, but the symbols indicate that there is a difference between

3G - HSDPA - EDGE

I guess we do not have 3G in Germany, because it tries it and then switches to HSDPA. But this often prevents pages/ programs to load - as if it times out - sometimes I get a connection warning!

After installing 3G-toggle in CommManager and deactivating 3G, I have no issues with the connection anymore - it is just slower (not too much). But only Edge is being used.

Is there a way to implement a distinct choice of the data-protocols in CommManager? - That would be great.

At least - removing the 3G-toggle did not fix anything for me.

Anyway, keep cooking!!!
